GTA 5 was supposedly a full use of rockstar talent, and I enjoyed every game you just listed better than 5

yo just downloaded the build its real holy

@rockstar we got him

burnout paradise was the perfect idea of an open world racing game, especially for its time

stunt runs, takedown challenges, unlocking about 100+ different and unique cars by finding them on the map and taking them out, time trials

mini stuff like billboard smashes, gate smashes

and the online was so elite. You could do challenges together, against each other, private parties or free mode

really ahead of the curve imo

I mean I agree with him tho. Even as a kid I didn’t like how restrictive it was compared to gta. Good game tho

I’m ngl. I’ve always been more of a Midnight Club & Burnout Takedown/Revenge guy.

Never liked Need for Speed like that for some reason, except amazing Most Wanted.

Yeah but all at the cost of immaculate track designs

It would have paved the way for a better open world racing future had it really nailed the "tracks"

I think you nailed it when you said its the perfect idea of an open world game

Burnout paradise one of my fav racing games ever

Yall don’t want to see a new ip ? A racing game , bully , la noire over something entirely new ?

Underground ?

This was some mid Such a disappointment after Hot Pursuit

Agent got cancelled but I still desire to see them do a new ip . Why nobody say “ I want a new table tennis “ . I think racing games kind of just plateau

surprised no one mentioned the first forza horizon if we’re talking open world racing games

Hot Pursuit 2010 > Most Wanted 05

Then whichever you prefer for Underground 1/2

Almost every other NFS is mid honestly

Also no mention of test drive. I’m dating myself but test drive 5 on ps1 one of the best racing games ever

Racing games kind of got boring for me after the best of burnout

2 was so much better that it made Forza Horizon 1 look like a PS2 game in comparison

Honestly believe Forza Horizon 2/3 is perfection for an open world racing game

I'm dating myself

Jason says true development started 2019 which is what always made sense .

Burnout 3 / nfs most wanted/ mc3 dub edition peak yup

Damn I preferred the first one. I was big on forza 3 tho. I don’t really need a racing game to be open world. Open level is nice tho

Open world racing was arcade racing's Pandora's Box
