An Arcade-style racer is a game which shoots for a fun and fast-paced experience over trying to simulate real life physics and racing protocol.
A view point or camera angle that's fixed on the vehicles front bumper.
A point within the game whereby the game saves its current state whether it be for the purpose of a more convenient respawn point or a gameplay design (such as in racing).
The art of taking corners is an essential element for any good racing driver, and it is a technique that must be mastered in order to produce the fastest times on track.
The ultimate pressure feature. Players have to complete the task at hand, be it defeating opponents or cutting the right wire, in the allotted time.
Your current position shows you what place you're in during racing games, events and more!
Drifting is a technique used in motorsports that involves intentionally over-steering the car to create a slide. This is done both as a competitive and exhibitive technique.
A digital distribution platform operated by Epic Games.
Advertisements sometimes appear in game as a spoof on real-life advertisements, or to further envelope the player in the video game world.
In order to avoid licensing issues, many games simply create fictional car brands.
A line that signals the start or the end of the race. Even though it is used for racing, it could mean any type of racing game.
A translucent "ghost" representation of a prior performance in a racing game.
A digital distribution platform that focuses on providing DRM-free computer games, both old and new.
The in-game announcer is a non-character disembodied voice commonly heard in arcade games, first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. They announce game modes, multi-kills, and game-changing events.
An instantreplay is a gameplay element typically associated with sports games, and widely made popular with the Madden Franchise. Instant replays allow players to go back and view gameplay footage, occasionally from varying points of view.
A lap is one circuit around a race track. This is featured in many, but not all racing games.
"LAN" is short for "Local Area Network," which is exactly as it sounds. Setting up a LAN allows players to join together locally in multiplayer games through a small, computer network rather than through the internet.
Cars can be driven from the 'Bumper Cam', from inside the cockpit, or from the traditional view showing the car.
That awesome feeling of a plane flying directly over your head. Making you feel like you're part of something big!
Third-party developers and publishers occasionally engage in the practice of releasing a title or piece of DLC on only one platform for any number of reasons. Sometimes these are permanent while others are only platform exclusive for a certain window of time.
Games whose titles consist of a single word.
In auto racing, standing starts have the cars or go-karts stationary in the starting grid as the race begins. To commence racing in a standing start, a set of red lights is needed before the green one goes off to start the race.
A grid that is organized for the start of the race in rows of 2, 3 or more. Very useful for standing starts in various racing titles.
