........so I want to drive really fast without dying really fast.......
Okay, I'm not an complete stranger to racing games, however I don't own any. Due to an low budget, it has to be on PC, and perferably without requiring 3D acceration. (I don't know if my Intel 830M notebook chipset can do it, and I don't want to only play on my dad's comp)
I've played NSF: Under Ground at an lan cafe and petty much beat the thing. (there was someone else's saved record) The Ai does not seem all that impressive and require massive cheating to deal with bumping tactics. Dodging traffic is also quite annoying, and it makes cornering speed either really slow or really random. It is really keyboard friendly though, but at the expense of and serious depth, as cars don't really lose control or spin out (short of collisions) and all that one have to worry about is understeer. (which is small in RX-7....) Drifting seems largely useless, as weight shifting would cause wheels to lift at high speed, and in anycase the resulting cornering speed is less.......
I've played an bit of NSF: underground 2 but can't make judgement yet, but I do doubt its length and beating the ai by 2+ seconds consistantly in the few games I played make me wonder......
The racing game I'm currently spending time on is inital D aracade stage 3. Playing aracade games are expensive over the run, and I've spend around $400~500 on it since stage two. (thus the desire to get an PC game) I've gotten petty good at the game though, being able to pwn most people, though still 6 seconds slower than world class on tracks I'm familar with. (yes, 6 seconds out of 3 minutes is an long time....)
I'm not sure about realistic racing games, because they all seem keyboard-impossible. Getting an rally licence for GT2 for PS2 by standing at an computer shop for hours is probably the closest I've came to anything semi-realistic. I'm up for the challenge if it really isn't impossible with an keyboard......
