Ah close enough. Although that kind of mash up would lead to some interesting ideas. Overwatch with cars, would be interesting. Cat and mouse is already pretty close to escorting the payload, and "point attack" with cars would be fun (I'm thinking a minimum drift score instead of a just staying on the point).

My favourite racing game ever! Graphics and weather systems ahead of it's time. Beautiful sound design. Amazing tracks fit for all car classes. Ranked multiplayer. Gotham TV (basically the first streaming/viewing system in console games). Genuinely challenging AI and a engaging single player campaign. Cars balanced better than other games. A truly brilliant game. Anyone remember the Turbine Superbike?! I used to use switch between D-Pad and analogue stick steering on this game because both were so fun. My first ever world record was even on PGR4, great memories here. It's spirit kinda lives on in Forza Horizon, but I'll always prefer PGR (Cat & Mouse was hilarious in this game!)

I think the most amazing part of PGR was the fact it featured the Nordschleife and Macau. This is an expectation generally fulfilled by every PC sim and GT/Forza but in the context of a pure arcade racer, being able to run the Ring, at night and in the snow on a bike is insane. Macau too is even in the sim world very rare and is mostly to this day a rfactor mod passed around games that will support it. No arcade racer featured it that i remember, not even TOCA.

I'm so glad you did the voice over for Darwin's family tree (awesome video btw), so I could find this gem of a channel. The intro to this video was a surge of nostalgia. This game gave me the best sense of progression. At first I couldn't complete the Class A car Nürburgring race (the race-tracky one, not the jungley one) in arcade mode even on steel difficulty, I had already completed all other, but as I improved I was eventually able to beat it by coming first on Platinum difficulty. One of the most memorable moments in gaming for me.

PGR is imo one of the most underrated but also one of the most influential racing game series out there. I remember playing Metropolis Street Racer via Emulator and I really loved its style and its unique progression system. Also the soundtrack is nice too where they also have TJ Davis (the vocalist from the Sonic R soundtrack). Later on I tried out PGR 2 and was mind blown by the things you can do (walking around the garage and around the showroom,play Geometry Wars and the multilingual soundtrack with the real life radio stations being the cherry on top) PGR 4 is also amazing for its unique selection of vehicles,the aesthetic and the overall gameplay. Like driving around the Nordschleife in snow is the most jackass thing ever but it's so awesome. I also love the gestures the bikers can do whenever you overtake an opponent for example. I really want a new closed track simcade so badly. Grid Legends is like the most recent game that gives me PGR vibes and I love it a lot. Shame that it didn't got much attention though

Nice video! Couldn't agree with you more. NFS Unbound really doesn't do it for me, Forza Horizon 5 has no progression, Gran Turismo 7 is too sweaty, Assetto Corsa is too complicated, Project Cars 2 is dead and I'm afraid to try 3. You should try GRID Legends. It's got a lot of fun city circuit racing with a variety of road and track cars with all sorts of weather. It's definetly not on the same level as PGR but it is in the same genre which makes it fun! The new Test Drive Solar Crown game is yet to be released but that'll be open world so who knows what the quality on that will be, but Test Drive Unlimited 2 was a good experience overall. The Crew Motorfest just released to good reviews all around. So we have at least 2 solid arcade racers with 1 open-world game on the way. The genre may not be dead its just not in the golden era anymore. I'll tell you what though. I miss games like NFS Underground 1. Talk about a game with huge art style and visuals, without sacrificing good gameplay mechanics and level design. (I can forgive the rubberbanding A.I. lol)
