I can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality, the top 10 racing games of the 2010 generation (Part 2)

Do you still remember the racing game rankings on the 23rd last month?

Due to space reasons, I only talked about half of it

Now let’s continue to look at the remaining five

From first to fifth

< p>Come on, the suspense is revealed!

The previous article (please click here for the link) talked about the 10th to 6th best racing games of the 10th generation. I wonder if you picked up the controller and pressed the keyboard during the National Day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. After some operation, you can experience the feeling of speed and rampage in the electronic world.

If you haven’t felt the adrenaline surge yet, today I will continue to introduce you to the top five racing games. I believe they can bring you a more exciting and exciting experience.

No. 5: Dirt Rally? 2.0

The Dirt series can clearly see the positioning of this game from the name of the game. Compared with Forza Racing, GT racing cars are larger and As a complete racing game, the Dirt series is more focused on one area: rally racing.

The wheels are rolling, and there is dust all the way. This sentence can well describe the actual situation of a wild rally, and this is what Dirt has always hoped to bring to players the experience of participating in a rally. The first generation of Dirt is named after the famous British rally driver Colin McRae ( Colin McRae: Dirt) has opened a new rally racing series. In order to prevent the game from being too real and dissuading most of the hard-working players, the Dirt series is not only as perfect as possible in terms of track, racing, outdoor environment, weather and climate, but also in operation. It is simplified by moving up to improve the experience and achieve a balance between simulated driving and real driving.

In 2009, McCree died in an accident. This series introduced stunt driver Ken Block, and the style began to move towards extreme entertainment projects such as stunt performances, while the physics engine still maintained a high level of performance. Tolerance, the latest game in the Dust series, Dust 5, is expected to be released between the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021.

However, Dirt: Rally is completely different from the traditional Dirt series. It focuses on real driving and returns to the origins of rally racing. If Dirt 1-5 is a racing game with more entertainment elements, then Dirt: Rally is a professional-level real-life simulation driving program. The vehicle accelerates and brakes half a beat slower, a small operating error may lead to the tragedy of car crash and death, the faithful reproduction of various small links on the track, the 100% reproduction of the fingerprints on the dashboard of the mini modified racing car... .?The rally series restores all the details of the event with an almost harsh attitude. The game even cancels the replay function, which means that if you make a mistake, you have to start over from the starting point. (The aphorism that life cannot be repeated rang in my ears)

Mini, is that you? (Direct introduction: The Shanghai Automobile Museum has collected an original red 1965 Mini Cooper. Unexpectedly, after modification, it can also gallop in the harsh environment of remote mountains and rivers. It is worthy of being an all-round warrior for home shopping and traveling. )

This leads to the fact that it often takes dozens of hours for ordinary players to become familiar with the game Dust: Rally, but this is also the charm of Dust: Rally, to persuade light players and serve core players. The 2.0 version is a step up from the original version in 2015. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most realistic rally game of this generation.

No. 4: Assetto Corsa (2014)

Assetto? Corsa is Italian, which means preparing to compete. The name of the game is also quite confusing when translated into Assetto Corsa. Corsa is taken from the pronunciation of Corsa (race), which is easy to understand, but there is no way to talk about divine power. It may express that the vehicles participating in the race are all assisted by gods, and they jointly achieve this magical race. (Old V’s conjecture)

The selling point of the game is its coolness. Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari and BMW are all available for you to choose from. It is said that every track in the game has been laser scanned to ensure 100% realism; and every luxury car model has been certified by the manufacturer and engineers.

It is worth mentioning that this game is exclusive to the PC platform (although a final version later landed on PS4/Xbox), and the game engine used to create the game was also based on the multimedia platform that Microsoft had just released at the time. The programming interface is DirectX?11 and designed (no wonder it is exclusive to PC). As long as the graphics card of the player's computer is strong enough, Assetto Corsa will present you with the best visual enjoyment in 14 years, including HDR (high dynamic range image), dynamic light sources, softened shadows and other new technical effects.

Asseto Corsa is like a cool article on the Internet. It does not pursue professionalism, but it can present a visual feast to players and bring a thrilling experience with the ultimate sense of speed. Generation’s ranking of fourth place is enough to illustrate its excellence in technical capabilities.

In one sentence: Just do it and it’s done!

No. 3: GT Racing? Sport (2017)

The GT Racing series can be said to be a benchmark in the industry, and it is also the top racing game exclusive to the Sony PS platform. It has been accompanying Sony consoles all the way since PS1 and has always been the game that best represents the performance of the PS gaming platform.

GT Racing’s selling point is real simulation. This all stems from its producer Kazunori Yamauchi’s obsession and love for racing. Yamauchi himself was once a well-known racing driver in Japan and has devoted his life to racing. As a hobby, he also put all his efforts into making GT racing cars. All employees of the Polyphony Digital company where they work are required to experience real racing cars on real tracks. When making GT racing cars, they must make all details as close to reality as possible.

In addition to authenticity, another commendable feature of GT Racing is its photo mode. The photos generated by using the shooting mode in the game can almost look real.

Let’s talk about specific numbers. Since the first GT Racing game was released on PlayStation 1 in 1997 to the present, there have been one to six orthodox games (GT1-GT6) and two prologue versions ( It can also be called a money-grabbing version), a PSP handheld work, and two spin-off works (Concept? Series and Sport), with a total sales volume of more than 85 million units. The top three best-selling models are GT3 (14.89 million), GT5 (11.95 million) and GT4 (11.76 million). Among them, the production cost of GT5 is the highest in the series, reaching 80 million US dollars.

In addition, in view of the fact that the game is close to real and ultra-high quality, the FIA ??has also specially organized the GT?Sport World League. In addition to their superb e-sports skills, most of the players in this event have racing experience. Professional players and those who win the competition will have the opportunity to participate in real racing events. It can be said that GT racing has gradually moved from the screen into real life.

GT?Sport, released in 2017, is the latest and only GT racing game on the PS4 platform. The graphics are the highest ever and it also inherits the long-standing advantages of the GT racing series. If we say If there are any shortcomings, it is that there are few cars and tracks, and it is relatively professional and not very friendly to novices. (We still need a legit game to hold the show, so just wait for GT7.) The sales volume of GT Sport is currently around 7.3 million copies.

But no matter what, GT racing is worth sacrificing our knees.

No. 2: Mario Kart 8

Mario, a character who was born in 1981 (appeared in the game Donkey Kong) and later became famous on the Nintendo FC game console The big-nosed Italian plumber has now become a household name in the world and a super popular star in the gaming industry.

This game consists of Mario, his brother (Luigi, commonly known as the cuckold), his girlfriend (Princess Peach, who is always on the way to be kidnapped), his sworn enemies (the Bowser family, the habitual criminals who kidnap Peach), The family-friendly racing game in which passers-by (Mushroom Head) and other game characters participated has become the best-selling IP in the Mario series of sports derivative games.

Mario Kart has created a brand-new racing gameplay: while racing, you can eat various props to add various special effects to yourself or frame your opponents to win. In addition, each has its own special effects. The unique track is also full of traps and unexpected situations. It is an interesting cartoon racing game.

Compared with the other 9 games in the top 10 racing games, Mario Kart is simply an outlier. A group of cartoon characters drive imaginative racing cars to compete on a dreamy track. The mushroom speeds up the car, summons lightning to immobilize the opponent, and scatters some banana peels to make the chaser rush off the track... It perfectly combines the concepts of racing and super brawl, plus the perfect transplantation of Mario Various elements of the series of games (including characters, scenes, props, and cartoon styles) are used to recreate a hit work on the shoulders of the giant Mario adventure game.

The Mario Kart game can be said to be suitable for all ages. Even players who have never played a racing game can easily get started. In addition, it emphasizes the fun of competition, attracting a wider range of people. Player groups can easily engage in a fun-filled game of racing in 10 minutes, making this non-professional family car racing game a must-have entertainment product for the masses when traveling at home. It also demonstrates Nintendo's consistent approach to making games for all ages. Fun game concept.

Don’t think that Mario Kart is a completely casual game. Although the game chooses a relatively simple kart (motorcycles were later added) as the player’s racing vehicle, divided into 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc , 200cc four categories, of which 50cc and 100cc are for novice players and light players, while 150cc and 200cc are for core players with more professional control, especially 200cc, which is extremely difficult.

Mario Kart 8 is the latest in the series and the highest-selling game in the series. It is the best-selling game on Nintendo’s latest game console NS (the version sold on NS is Mario Kart 8? Deluxe Edition) , as of March 2020, sales have reached 24.77 million units. Including 8.38 million units of the previous generation game console WiiU version, the overall sales have exceeded 33 million units (it is expected to exceed 40 million units in 2020 without any problem)

< p>No. 1: Forza Horizon 4

Froza series We have introduced the 10th-ranked game Froza MotorSport 7, which is exclusive to the Xbox platform to compete with the PS platform GT racing. The racing masterpiece has conquered many players with its numerous authorized vehicles, powerful graphics, and realistic controls. In order to further expand the audience, Froza will gradually divide the game into two series, one is the old orthodox game "Motorsport", and the other is a spin-off game: Horizon.

,

The production concept of Horizon is different from that of orthodox works, emphasizing the concept of an "open world". The so-called open world means that you can move freely in a specific area and trigger various events. It has detailed plot descriptions and colorful gameplay, giving players a more immersive feeling.

The approach of the Horizon series is to inherit the various advantages of the orthodox Motorsport, such as high-quality graphics, numerous vehicles, and a complete modification system, but also to place players in a range where they can move freely (1st generation Colorado, South of France in the 2nd generation, Australia in the 3rd generation, and the United Kingdom in the 4th generation). Players can drive their own cars to freely explore this area and participate in various events such as rally races, city street races, and exhibition races. Various car-related activities such as stunt races break away from the relatively single game mode of racing and bring more fresh experiences and brand-new feelings to players, complementing and complementing the orthodox works.

Building on the foundation of the success of previous games, Horizon 4 has once again innovated in terms of environmental depiction (changes of the seasons) and richness of gameplay. Coupled with the top-notch visual effects brought by Xbox One, it is ahead of the rest. 9 games half to one level; coupled with the increasingly popular open game play in recent years (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Pushing the open world concept further), it finally won the favor of topgear editors and put it on It has won the crown of generational games (GT?Sport is not an orthodox work and is slightly lacking in content; while Mario is a non-realistic racing game, ranking second is already outrageous)

Posted on the authoritative game media IGN Rating:

2021 is the early stage of the release of PS? 5. I wonder if GT? 7 can show up to escort it? (According to Yamauchi Kazunori, this idea is purely fictional. It is very kind to have a high-definition remake of the first few generations)? But maybe Forza? 8 really may be the Xbox? X platform, Mario Racing 8? Deluxe Edition has been selling for a long time and will continue to do so next year. Nintendo is mainly focusing on the Zelda series, which is about to celebrate its 35th birthday. Will there be any dark horses in other racing games? Haha, let’s wait and see about all this!
