If you played Gran Turismo 5, you may remember the old XP system that would lock you out of content and progressing through no fault of your own. However, none of these games come close to taking the crown of the most authentic racing simulator on the market. However, if you aren’t familiar with the GT series, the game also has similarities to racing titles such as The Crew, Driveclub, Forza Horizon and Project Cars to name a few. This game plays rather like any other modern-day Gran Turismo title.

However, one series has always remained the champion of realistic racing simulation and in Gran Turismo 6, Polyphony Digital wasn’t going to change in that respect. Then Burnout offered pure arcade-style carnage. Need For Speed managed to take all the things that made the Fast and The Furious movies and translate it into a game. WipeOut excelled in offering futuristic hovercar racing. Various franchises have aimed to do this in a number of different ways. Since video games came to be, racing titles have existed and strived to deliver intense and high octane vehicular experiences to you the gamer as you sit comfortably in your armchair.
