5 Racers That Should be Remade

My iPod is by far the wisest device to walk the face of the earth. To prove it to you, here’s the event that made me realize this… A few days ago, while I killed time indulging myself in some of NFS: Carbon’s drifts, my iPod conveyed to me something extremely profound.

With its earphones plugged deep into my waxy ears, my wisest friend was set on shuffle mode, when it said to me along with the lazy perfection of B.B. King’s guitar, that the ‘Thrill has Gone’. That’s right; "B.B. King – The Thrill has gone" started playing. Could it be a coincidence? Bah! I don’t believe in coincidences. Indeed, I said; my dear iPod, The Thrill has gone. Unlike the old days, the thrill from the racing genre has died; thanks to franchises such as Need For Speed, which have juiced the genre sequel after sequel, to the point that every game is a clone of the previous, plus a few more features and some flashier visuals. Of course, there are a few awesome games like Burnout: Revenge and MotorStorm out there, but such racing goodness is becoming a rarity, since a majority of the racing games these days are pretty much devoid of innovation and they downright stink. With hopes that someday a famed game developer/publisher would read this article and decide to revive one of these long dead racing franchises, here’s a list of racers that I’d love to see remade, using Next-Generation technology…
