how hard can it be to find an open world racing game that has somewhat physics

[Tjack Morris]

like forza but with actual physics and a camera that isnt attatched to the air above the car.
i have been searching for a realistic NFS or Forza like game maby with cops for so ♥♥♥♥ing long.
i dont care if its from 1754 with horses aslong as they have proper ♥♥♥♥ing physics.

Edit: realistic meaning in physics not graphics i dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about that pointless ♥♥♥♥ you see and go wow then forget for the rest of your life.

The original Test Drive Unlimited had a hardcore mode for realistic physics (unlike it's sequel).

Is that the one that wouldn't let you reverse the Y axis for the camera stick?

I think it is. I really wanted to play that game, but no Y axis reversal option = refund.

I feel the OP's pain. I'm currently playing -- for the 10,000th hour, NFS Most Wanted 2005.

Here's my short list for an open-world driving fix:

NFS Most Wanted 2005 (as previously mentioned) -- although not a strict simulator, interesting fairly challenging physics. Decent graphics and great engine sounds. Amazing mod-ability, still actively modded to this day. Modding includes the ready ability to make very thorough and complex edits to the vehicle physics through the ATTRIBUTES.MWPS file which can be edited with the most basic text editor. The amount of unique vehicles for this game, from the modding community, is unparalleled. You can find Plymouth Fury III, Buick Wildcat, Pontiac Bonneville, Chrysler Newport Royal, Olds Toronado & 442, Ford Gran Torino, on and on.... Those classics I mentioned have better-looking models and bodykit options than the original cars for the vanilla game, and in fact could blow away many of the models for current games.

Test Drive Unlimited (NOT the sequel!) -- not a simulator, but the physics aren't bad. Huge open-world map with good terrain and topography. Vehicle models look great (especially mods and modded conversions) although the world's graphics are somewhat dated. Engine sounds are cheap and awful -- I've spent as much time making my own engine sounds as I have playing the game (I'm pretty handy dealing with audio, working out distinctive and textured layers, and making engine loops mesh properly, although this game is trammeled by a ridiculous 4-bit ADPCM limitation). Highly mod-able. Physics and other aspects can be accessed and adjusted through readily available user-friendly mod tools.

NFS Carbon. Similar sentiments as NFS MW 2005. Physics are not as easily accessible. Still being modded to this day.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 -- beautiful world, plentiful mods, interesting driving physics.

American Truck Simulator -- beautiful world, plentiful mods, interesting driving physics.

Avoid games like NFS MW 2012 for anything other than an arcade experience. It doesn't even include a manual-shift option, for crying out loud. Ditto the Burnout series. No manual shift, in my book, is an immediate downgrade to "mediocre at best."

If you want real physics I suggest driving a real car.

Just don't call yourself a gamer, if you truly don't grasp the OP's point.

Bob Smith and Howdy too, say howdy-do to you.

Never thought i'd pine for the good old days:

(Nostalgia overload! xD)


But a fairly realistic driving game? IRacing is an option, but requires a subscription. you'd be surprised how hard it is to win any races on that game when you aren't used to the physics. only won one race around a short oval, been on the podium a few times, but most of it was building up experience trying to get used to it and keep from locking the brakes and downshifting without the axles locking up.

I hated that Mazda cup car, it was the bane of my existence. however even i managed to adapt around it.. most of the time.

dumb answer

Seriously though, ETS2. I bought it on sale as a joke when it was on sale many years ago but, my god, is it a good game.

Worth the DLC's?

[RemyXIII®]

They go on sale a lot and at very heavy discount so def during sales. It adds a lot of content and area to explore.
