How many of you (if anyone) would love an open world driving game. One with 100s of detailed cars from cockpit in and out. Where the only purpose is to cruise around. No story, no championship just driving for the joy of it. You could see in detail both classic and modern cars.

Would this be pointless to you ? Would this just get boring to you ?

Personally I love just staring at car photos online of new cars released. And I think it be pure joy just to hop into a game and enjoy them virtually while cruising a scenic landscape.

Just curious if anyone else thinks this sounds like a good idea …

    It would be pointless and boring to me. I bore of BeamNG rather quickly, as there aren’t things to do, and it has some of the best physics in the industry.

    There isn’t a game exactly like you’re describing, but I get the same vibes from various other games, depending what I’m feeling like.

    • FH series for all the real cars, good arcade physics.

    • BeamNG for sandbox, tuning, and (of course) wrecking cars.

    • ATS/ETS2 for cruising

      • This is nice as the truck/trailer provides an added challenge, as compared to cruising in a car.

      • I’ll also mention that ATS is planning a DLC for just driving cars.

    Those are all games that have a strong focus on just driving around in beautiful sceneries with varying levels of minimal objectives. I don’t think any studio would be able to have as many cars as Forza, the physics of BeamNG, or the map size/quality of ATS/ETS2. Not that I’d hate to be proved wrong, but it would definitely not be an easy or cheap game to create.
