One of the reasons i picked up a PS3 was for the racing games. Was wondering what you guys recommend on the system ?
The quality has to be good (no bugs, pop-in textures, decent draw distances, etc,etc...usual laundry list), and it has to support local and online multiplayer. From a gameplay pov, im more into the 'fun' than the 'simulators'.... i liked Excite Truck on the Wii.
Cheers.

I'd put Burnout Paradise ahead of GRID, get "The Ultimate Box" version if you can, it has DLC and game updates included.
|
It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Personally, my opinion in order of "fun" for me:
Baja
Dirt 2
Grid
For realism though, I like:
GRID
Need For Speed: Shift
A new racing game coming out that I am looking forward to is Blur.
And a friend was a beat tester for ModNations Racers and he LOVES it, but he is not normally a racing game fan.

I thought it was pretty fun. The good thing is they do have demos for Burnout, Dirt2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Need For Speed: Shift, and GRID on the PSN so you can try them all out before you buy.
Personally I'm not a big Burnout fan, but most on here love it. Burnout is to arcade for me. GRID is a better balance of realism and arcade feel, IMO. Dirt 2 is by Codemasters, same guys that did GRID so if you like GRID you'd probably like Dirt 2 as well.

Thanks for the advise guys. I did enjoy Excite truck a lot on the Wii, so when i saw MotorStormPR it seemed like a good fit.
Played it for a couple of hours yesterday. The visuals and physics are outstanding. i really like the arcadey gameplay. The shadows were a bit iffy.... but after playing the Wii, im just glad there are shadows  .
A few negatives: cannot choose music from your own library, andt he included selection is kinda poor imho. the mechanics are a bit too 'drifty'/'floaty'. and when you crash it takes a little too long to get back into the race.
Anyone know how/where to check for updates ? i'm keen to try out online multiplayer as well.
Cheers
