Hello.

I am among the few who is really passionate about racing games.
Sadly gog's sortiment is rather thin :/
Does anyone else think they should add a few games? I personally would like to get my hands on the old "Need for Speed" titles.

Porsche unleashed and Hot persuit.

Do you agree, disagree?
Mby other stuff should be a prior?

off topic : New Need for Speed game ( Most Wanted ? ) will be announced on E3 .

I read about the racing games GOG used to have and they all got pulled due to licensing issues.

And games with "Porsche" in the name are just asking for licensing hell to happen so I highly doubt that something like that will be appearing on GOG.

some newer racing games on here would be nice.

judging from the list of racing games here and your linking of Need for Speed I take it you like realistic racing games like Gran Turismo, Forza, and of course Need for Speed

Nitronic Rush?

Of course, you have to understand, they need the license(s) to package and distribute these games.

Being that the NFS series is published by EA, and they are still adding new games to the already gigantic series and 'making money' from them.....I don't think I'd be holding my breath at this point for any of them to be available on GOG. But that's me.

Ah, you're probably right. poor gog havin' such a hard time :(
Sadly i have grown quite bored of Gt and Forza.
Im waiting for a new -Grid- or a new nfs which doesn't suck ....

Re-Volt anyone? :-) I usually don't like racing games, but this one stole many hours from my life.

And MicroMachines :-)

I'll have to check those two out. seems fun, thanks :)

Fatal Racing would be nice. I loved that game back in the days.

Totally agree with you, however CMR 2005 got dropped from what I heard because of some car brand or WRC license issues.
It's just one of those many hurdles for GOG to convince the corporate world which is highly protective about their franchises (or car brands in this case) and this falls into the category EA System Shock, LucasArts, Microsoft games only this is done by carmanufacturers and racingorganisations (FIA, WRC, etc.). What also doesn't help is the fact that those organisations and some manufacturers only want to sell exclusive rights these days.

So unless the weather clears, we got to make do with racinggames that don't include real cars or realworld races. :o(
Some of those are pretty good actually, Flatout for instance. :o)

By the way I made this yesterday and was thinking about making a topic about it myself like if you were reading my mind. =D

Death Rally is freeware. Plenty of fun for those boring lectures.

The only racing games I have actually enjoyed and played over a longer period of time is Wipeout series, and [url=http://uk.gamespot.com/rumble-racing/videos/rumble-racing-video-review-2712093/]Rumble Racing

I have never been able to get into driving games, I find them to samey - there is very little variations between them - and have the feeling that when you have played one you have played them all. I know this is not right, but it is the feeling I am left with and I get bored fast.

Then again I never really was bothered about cars anyway, I still can not drive...

Even though they won't be around forever.

IGNITION!
