Anybody else here fans of some of the lesser known, lesser played titles such as

Fatal Inertia
Extreme-G series
Kinetica
F-Zero
and maybe some of the iOS titles?

Anybody have any offbeat recommendations?
Long before I ever brought my WipEout career to full force I was playing loads of Extreme-G. I love those titles! I wouldn't mind backtracking and checking out some of the various others. : )

F-Zero pilot right here *points to himself* ^_^
I have all of the games, proud owner of them all and all of them bar two are on their original platforms :) sadly I couldn't find X or maximum velocity so I downloaded them.
F-Zero GX Forever :rock
But still haven't beaten missions 7,8 and 9 on very hard :P but I love it :D

CTR? Crash Team Racing? It's not a sci-fi racing game ;)

- Star Wars Episode I : Racer
It was a great game, you should try it.

Hmm, I'd dispute F-Zero being included in the "lesser known, lesser played" category considering it's probably THE most well known game in the genre ;)

You'll find the Rollcage games to be particularly popular on here, it's another one from Psygnosis. If you like driving up walls, it's ideal.

Jak X I think it fits, although it's more fantasy than sci-fi. I played the hell out of that game in my PS2. WO Fusion and Jak X seem to share the same dystopian combat racing theme where weapon power is unruled and fair play is non-existant.

Quantum Redshift, it's pretty much Microsoft's answer to wipEout.

@ Possessed
F-zero 2 doesn't exist, after the first game on the SNES it was F-zero X on the n64 then GX and so forth :P
I could be wrong though

It does exist, I have an actual SNES Cart with it on it (unofficial). It was a satellite thing in Japan. You can play emulators with it. You can find them orn ebay sometimes. If I get the time, I'll post a video

Felt the same way here, XPand and Snakenator1 XDDD

And still, there's a Ballistics arcade cabinet here in Brazil. Game's freaking hard to play XDDD

Megarace 2 -


...for PC and still my favourite racing game! Even though released in 1996 it still runs smooth on Win8 and the graphics aren't too bad either [making you race through what is mostly a pre-rendered movie than a real 3D world they achieved impressive graphics back in the day].

As for AG-Races: Your list misses G-Surfers / Hypersonic Xtreme [for PS2].

I am in the middle of revamping the list from the thread I initially posted. There are A LOT more. :)

I've been building a racing game database for Rolling Start, simply called RGDB (http://www.rolling-start.com/RGDB/). It's not complete yet, but it does have all racing games from several systems, including PS1, PS2, DC, GC, Wii and some others, with more complete system sets added every week or so. Search with the keyword "futuristic" and you'll find plenty of such games. :)

Am I the only one who actually liked "Jet Ion GP" despite it's inevitable flaws?

anyone been playing the racing in Star Citizen?
I'm having a blast, though I am terrible at it. No combat yet but that will be present in a future update.
