Why did the racing genre die?

Why did the racing genre die?

Boring

it hasn't

>tfw you wanna win so bad you blow up the other drivers

>best racing game (dirt rally) came out last year

Car racing didn't really die, both sim and arcade. Now 100% arcade racers did die, and when Wipeout was pulled out of mothballs, ported to PS4 and didn't sell, we can see that there's simply not enough demand because new generation doesn't understand putting effort into games.

when it became about driving regular cars on actual tracks/roads instead of crazy cars on crazy tracks with weapons/gadgets

>renew PS+ for Omega Collection
>5 players on good nights

Someone post that picture of all the racing games coming out soon please

It didn't, don't confuse Sup Forums not talking about it (we can't, there's no story or waifus to wank over) with it being dead.

>racing sims

get cancer, retards

I need a next gen Initial D game

Isnt there a new Forza coming out?

I just want a racing game where I can race, earn money and upgrade nip cars on race tracks.

PC Gran Turismo WHEN

>when it had to either be about driving regular cars on actual tracks/roads or crazy cars on crazy tracks with weapons/gadgets with no middle ground
Fixed

Driving regular cars on actual tracks/roads cranked up to crazy levels and your car being a literal weapon > both of those things though.

the GOAT racing game. this will never not be a fact.

Frankly, I never liked weapons/gadgets. I can dig crazy cars and tracks, but as soon as some shitty rockets or ice beams or shells come into play, I am out.

Arcade has died but sim racing lives on.

the kids that played them grew up and got actual cars

tfw you'll never get another F-Zero game because half of its concepts were amalgamated into Mario Kart 8

Downloaded this again because havent played it in a few years
God damn its fun
Cant say if its better than The Run tho

It's so sad how true this is and the best they can do for an actual F-Zero rep is a Captain Falcon Mii and a cardboard cutout of his vehicle

I don't fucking know.

Cars/planes are ten times more fun than the gay-ass violence.

Cool vibrations

Because all genres except fps and open world has died.

It didn't die. But if you're wondering why there is so much, much less of it nowadays. The answer is relatively simple.
HD production standards.

Doing an average racing game in HD is more expensive than doing your average other game in HD.
And cheap mario kart indie knockoffs kind of oversaturated the other end of the spectrum already.

At this point I'd settle for a GX remaster with online play. A track editor and X cup could be nice too.

>there's simply not enough demand because new generation doesn't understand putting effort into games.
This.

>jets just fucking floating alongside with no way of actually helping the damn thing fly
sigh

It's the future, ain't gotta explain shit.

>remaining time is zero
>still gets platinum trophy

Am I missing something here?

Because people don't give a shit about the absolute best genre of video games for some reason.

I don't know but I just want Motorstorm back
