NFS: Shift is coming out in just 3.5 weeks in North America. Lot's of people are anxiously awaiting this one, including myself.


Shift I think is pretty poor.

I like Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box

Its arcady so you can just sit back and have fun, it has absolutly perfect 3x monitor support from FOV to HUD, to Menu's.

It gives a really good sense of speed, and its just super fun to play. Its like GTA but only in a car :D

Plus its cheap, I think I saw it new for $20 online. It also has perfect sync with a force feedback wheel like my Logitech Momo with all the proper adjustments you need to make it how you want it.

This was a really well done game.

I play a lot of rFactor. Tons of mod's and has good multi-monitor support. You can play online and there are a ton of people still playing. The GFX aren't anything special, but it's a solid racer.

I also say Dirt, because it does have multi-monitor support and looks good. And if you played anything codemasters, you know it's really good.

sorry to bump a thread thats been put to sleep but I think I word would have to be put in for simbin's GTR Evo. It's the only modern sim with good AI to race against.
The later addons haven't been so well taken by the community but the modding scene for evo is alive and kicking.

The others btw:

LFS multiplayer in controlled enviroment (no mods) free version is good for setup (small download)

Netkar Pro is the only game which has chassis physics anywhere near iracing's. It's a one map dev team tho so the scope isn't very large.

I just got NCR2003 I hear that game is only really truly brought to life when you apply mods, if your a fan of that game do you have the good mods in mind we should use?

For me I have been having a really good time with Dirt 2.

Which racing games has the best Porsche 986/987/996/997 in them? I ran into a few decent rFactor 996/997 add-ons. PCC2007 looks nice for a free add-on. Does NFS Shift have any Porsche in them?

I've picked up some racing games over the last few days. Dirt 2, NFS Shift, Grid, Crash Time II and Outrun 2006 all work good so far with my TH2G. Juiced 2 will run but it needs a FOV hack to be made for it. So far, it looks like Crash Time II and NFS Shift are my favorites so far. Dirt 2 seems fun too but I'm having more fun with the first 2. Grid is a simular engine as Dirt 2 so not much issue there. Outrun 2006 is pure arcade racer, but it's novel in the sense of retro coin operated racing games. I'm not too impressed with Juiced 2. I take most issue with it's FOV stretching of everything.
