The New King of Racing Games (1 Viewer)

[Ricky Hustle]

Hell, I thought this thread was going to give some insight about APEX. That, to me, looks like the new king of racers.

Alas, while Apex is indeed royalty, I would only assume it be a Duke or a Prince (who may inherit the throne when it matures into its next version). The game does rock, I am loving it. I only have a couple of hours into it. I want to play more, but life gets in the way.

I suppose it'll have to be a drag-racing game, no?

Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

I'm buying F-Zero, but I want to know what is going to be the new king of online racers?

Michael-

Perhapes F-Zero will be online-enabled. Nintendo will most likely make some announcements regarding online games at this E3.

And if not F-Zero, then Mario Kart GC.

Morgan,

Right now only my XBox is online. I'm willing to bring my Gamecube online, but Nintendo is going to have to start showing some real online effort before I'll spend the $$$ and time on it. At this point I'm still not convinced that Nintendo has any kind of serious online strategy.

Lucky for me I didn't buy a Gamecube for online so it's not a disappointment or anything.

They've had a "wait and see" approach to online gaming since it first was available on the Dreamcast. They'll go online (and most likely with some big games, like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart and Mario Party), but they're not going to do so until they think the market will support it.

As will I. But forget about an online racer, I'd be happy with a good system link racer. Seems like such an obvious feature, yet no support...

For now I'd say MotoGP... until GT4 snatches that away.

That is unless Midnight Club or Auto Modelistta pull it off big time.
