Racing on an arcade system becomes a reality this fall with iRacing Arcade's release.
iRacing Arcade, a new game developed by Original Fire Games and iRacing Studios, is set to hit Steam this fall and consoles early next year, bringing an exciting blend of arcade-style racing and customization to players of all ages.
The game features officially licensed cars and tracks, offering a level of authenticity that is sure to please racing enthusiasts. iRacing Arcade's career mode offers a deep single-player experience, with elements like building, car purchases, hiring drivers, and customizations.
One of the standout features of iRacing Arcade is its chase cam perspective, which sets it apart from previous games developed by Original Fire Games, such as Circuit Superstars. The game also appears to be optimized for this perspective, as it does not mention an isometric option on its Steam page.
Pit strategy appears to be a factor in iRacing Arcade's on-track action, based on the game screenshots. The game's visual style is similar to Circuit Superstars, with some obvious changes.
For those who have played iRacing in the past but had to abandon it due to space and time constraints, iRacing Arcade may be the perfect solution. While it is not the console version of the original iRacing, it may inspire younger enthusiasts to build sim rigs in the future.
However, it's worth noting that the price of components for building a sim rig can be high, so potential players are advised to start saving their pennies.
For those who prefer more unrealistic racing games, iRacing Arcade may not be the perfect fit, but for those who appreciate a more realistic driving experience, it is considered the best simulator by many reviewers.
The reviewer has previously reviewed Circuit Superstars and has spent time playing iRacing in the past, but has not continued due to space and time constraints. With the release of iRacing Arcade, it will be interesting to see if the reviewer gives it a chance.
In addition to iRacing Arcade, iRacing Studios is also expanding its horizons and is now dabbling in the futuristic game ExoCross. It's an exciting time for racing game fans, and iRacing Arcade is sure to be a highlight of the fall gaming season.
