10 Racing & Driving Titles to Look Out for in 2022

danclark · Mar 30, 2022

A quiet year then!

BTCC is the only one of those I'm interested in. Given how little has been shared thus far, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets bumped to 2023.

Nothing exciting for this year then

Let's hope for some cool DLC packs for the sims we already own

I am really looking forward to Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Hope it's as good as the two Test Drive Unlimited's were. Brilliant driving games at the time.

"American Motorcycle Simulator

Fancy riding across the states on the legendary Route 66? Part simulator, part survival game, this title allows you to travel from Chicago to Los Angeles on your faithful bike.

As well as fuelling and maintaining your motorcycle, players will be able to shoot some pool, play darts and poker, have a few drinks and even visit a club or two."

This sounds fun.
My personal proposal is they should name it Easy Rider instead.
And maybe name the virtual rider Peter Fonda

Redout 2 is the only one that catches my attention (I like the F1 series, but... yeah annualized stuff isn't that exciting).

I'll still enjoy all my time with AC and AMS2, which is good enough for me. We don't need a revolution every year.

With all the money I spent on my rig in the last few months

(CSL DD, two wheels, Radeon 6800XT) I am definitely looking forward to a good driving sim, no arcade stuff. Anything that can be a worthy successor of AC is welcome. Ideally a sim where I can drive at the limit road cars/supercars with proper physics on road/trackdays, places like LA Canyons or the Nordschleife. I do think AC is still very good for that, so I can wait. For racing I don't think I need anything other than ACC, maybe a rally title but that would mean spending more money on equipment (handbrake).. so thanks, no thanks.

Redout 2 looks good, but, and I hate to be the one that says this, but there's no word on VR support, and VR support is what makes anti-grav racers shine.

F1 2022 will probably be a buy from me, but honestly I haven't really put that much time into 2021.

Nano racing looks really interesting - I absolutely love Circuit Superstars, so here's hoping Nano Racing will be at least as good.

Also Rush Rally Origins looks like a buy from me. I tried to love Art of Rally but for some reason I just couldn't get on with the controller implementation - it was just too sensitive regardless of whatever settings I used, so here's hoping Rush Rally Origins will improve on that.

Let's hope 2023 brings something interesting.

Dr. Death · Mar 30, 2022

Im interested. The WRC saga has been both acclaimed and criticized for being better but not good enough with each game, i wonder if this time they will go all out.

Not so exciting year, tho. WRC 11 might be fun for a while. But I am happily sticking with AMS 2 till 2030, tho.

Gevatter · Mar 30, 2022

Nothing too exciting for me, although the American Motorcycle Simulator sound interesting, but it depends on how they structure the game. Will it be open world, mission based, or will it be like NFS The Run where you only play select stages while skipping large parts of the route.

R00b_Driver · Mar 30, 2022

I would be excited about the BTCC game, except for the fact that it's more than likely that MSG will make it a buggy arcade crap fest.

Fingers crossed about TDU.

I guess F1 2022 will be the only one I'll buy, if it effectively features VR as some source says.

Where did you see that? It would be awesome to have VR.

I'd take that source with a pinch of salt if I were you. That said EA did produce one game fully playable in VR - Star Wars Squadrons, so (A New) hope is not lost.

Buell1-121 · Mar 30, 2022

What about Dakar Desert Rally?
Would be interrested to test something new (at least for me)

I saw that here : https://www.xfire.com/f1-2022-to-feature-supercars-cross-play-but-no-story-mode/
It's worth what it's worth, but I hope they're right ! (GRID Autosport was a blast in VR)

Looks quite possible and EA appear to be committed to cross platform

Wallet ready for F1 2022

BTCC would be a great addition.
Hopefully the game allows for people to create there own skins to race against the regulars.
