Why Racing Games Don’t Hit the Same Anymore

Racing games used to feel different.
More intense. More memorable. More exciting.

In this video, I take a look at what actually changed over the years - from arcade classics like Need For Speed, Midnight Club and Juiced, to modern racing games that look better than ever, but somehow feel less impactful.

This isn’t about nostalgia or saying “old games were better” for no reason. It’s about design choices, risk, progression, atmosphere, and why racing games today don’t hit the same way they used to.

Let me know in the comments — do you feel the same way, or am I just chasing nostalgia?
