How many of you (if anyone) would love an open world driving game. One with 100s of detailed cars from cockpit in and out. Where the only purpose is to cruise around. No story, no championship just driving for the joy of it. You could see in detail both classic and modern cars.
Would this be pointless to you ? Would this just get boring to you ?
Personally I love just staring at car photos online of new cars released. And I think it be pure joy just to hop into a game and enjoy them virtually while cruising a scenic landscape.
Just curious if anyone else thinks this sounds like a good idea …
I’d be interested, I just drive around in BeamNG quite often. I think having traffic would definitely increase replay value, but I understand if that’s outside the scope of the game.
As someone else said, you can do this in Forza horizon. Make a custom car, tune it yourself, then rip around the map blasting music.
Yea the car aspect exists in gaming. Like how old is Midnight Club now?
What we need is Microsoft Flight simulator levels of real world immersion. Need to capture the feeling of a “road trip” or “Sunday cruise”.
The Long Drive perfectly captures long desert roadrtrip vibe with some surrealness thrown in.
I love it
Yea? I’m not on PC and apparently the console version isn’t the same.
How in depth is the car customization?
Sounds like we just need 2 different game studios to marry and make the ultimate car baby.
Basically unlimited car customization. Can put any part on any car. Bus diesel in a golf? Sure. Golf 4 cylinder in a Plymouth fury? OK.
Mods take it even further.
This sounds like the Train Simulator of driving games, which I’m sure there’s a market for. I think it could have more mass appeal without compromising the vision if you included a set of in-game goals like visiting various landmarks, obeying (or disobeying) road rules, or whatever else.
Visiting landmarks = doing a touristic route. Imagine doing the castles route in France or the 66 in the US or…
Thees mods for Truck Sim. I’m pretty sure the devs have been working on cars and RVs too.
I very often just drive around in Forza Horizon listening to my own music, so another game like that would be fun sometimes if the driving model was good and the map was good and detailed. But I also like to spend time on races and challenges in Forza Horizon, that option is very nice. So I think driving only with no goals would get boring.
Maybe they could add online radios with the option of including your preferred URLs. You could listen to the news one day and 80s music another day or whatever style you want.
