I think now in 8th gen for the first time since PS2 era it's a good time to be a fan of this genre. Futuristic racers.

The first games to come to mind for most is F-Zero and Wipeout. Aside from Mario Kart 8 tracks and anti gravity this series is essentially dead even tho we nearly had a new game on Wii U but Criterion turned Nintendo down. Wipeout isn't totally dead. We have not had a brand new game since 2048 on Vita. However The Omega collection just came out so maybe the series will be fully revived soon.

So what else is out there then? Fear not there is quite a few options. First off yes Wipeout Omega Collection if either a fan or never played perfect place to start. $40 or £30 and that version comes with themes and a steelbook that is a tribute to the PS1 game box art. It's 3 games in one in 4K if you have pro or 1080P on a base PS4. Wipeout HD,Wipeout Fury and Wipeout 2048.

Maybe you prefer F-Zero or do not have a PS4. If you have a Wii U or a Switch there is Fast Racing Neo or Fast RMX. Fast despite it's lame name is a gorgeous game made on a minimal budget but Shin'en are technical wizards. The vehicles look like Wipeout but plays like a mix of F-Zero and Ikaruga. You read that last part right. Well no combat but You can change your fuel to blue or orange. There are boost pads and strips of blue or orange. If you are blue and land on blue you go faster. Run over the opposite color and you slow down.

But dummy I have a Xbox One! No worries! Redout which is also on PC/PS4 and Switch. Is basically Wipeout with F-Zero GX sense of speed. It's seriously nuts how fast this game is. This was a game funded on KS and damn fun.

Maybe you are the guy who prefers PC only. Still have ya covered! Radical G. This is another Wipeout like game. If you played F-Zero GX and the tubular shaped tracks this game is basically all that with combat. Adds an extra dimension to it.

Another one if you don't mind having wheels on the car is GRIP. Again Wipeout. Remember that video in 2048 sowing the evolution of the wheel? So think of this as Proto Wipeout. http://store.steampowered.com/app/396900/GRIP/

Finally maybe you want something a bit different than both of those series. There is Distance on steam. It's a mix of Futuristic racer with platforming.

Of course if you just want to go old school always F-Zero GX older Wipeout games or Extreme G,Rollcage and others.

Now if only Nintendo would make a new F-Zero and out GX HD on VC

A glimpse at what could be. GX HD and what a new F-Zero might look like visually.


If you have anything to add or just want to talk about this genre feel free!

I honestly didn't expect my throwaway question about Gui living in his dads warehouse to be answered or even asked. Thank you for doing it and I thank him for the answer. Great work overall!

I cant believe that there is so much hate on this sega mobile stuff. They made great job porting genesis games, right now i playing comix zone and there is no lags and freezes, works like magic.

I just cant get this SEGA hate, they bring Shenmue to life, spent crazy amount of money and just gave away one of their best IPs.
Don't have any hate towards it but I don't care much about anything on mobile. Even the thought of playing a game on mobile may as well be telling me to eat something that will give me food poisoning. I just find it a miserable experience when I try these things and rather just avoid it. Cool for those who want it I guess. I think these would be better on PC and consoles esp with the upcoming Saturn/DC games.

I sucked so much at wipeout as a kid that I never bothered trying to get in to the series after that and ignored anything like it. Always thought it looked cool as fuck though.
Omega collection best place to start again. You can set it to novice and after a couple days when you get used to the game which doesn't take long it gets a lot more fun.

Forget the name on the box. If you ever wanted to play a SMT game with the aesthetic and backdrop of a Persona game this is the game to get. The character and enemy design is from Yasuda as he worked on Devil Survivor games. I booted up my fave file in Chapter 13 after just finishing Persona 5 today. So nice to just jump in mid game. Really great game as well. I never cared or played anything Digimon til this game. This game is so enjoyable I have the sequel pre ordered.

I am not religious in the least bit. I like science. I have beliefs like anyone. Thing is while I don't share the beliefs of people who are religious, I have nothing against it. For some it helps them cope with shit moments in life and sometimes helps them be a better person. Some people do abuse it and use ignorance to harm others directly or indirectly but TBH those kinds of people would find a way anyway to harm others like that. I am open to ideas and possibilities,I just can't settle on a single ideal. I need more than that.
