Play games featuring regular, non-competitive vehicles.
Games such as Need for Speed, Forza, Burnout Paradise, etc., offer entertainment but often miss the chance to feature everyday vehicles. These are typically less appealing in terms of speed and excitement, which explains their limited presence. Even after fifteen years, I still recall driving a Peugeot 206 in Underground 2—a vehicle with a solid engine, though not as thrilling. The game also included a Ford Focus (not the racing SVT) and an Audi A3 with a sport engine.
How many titles include cars like the BMW E46 sedan (non-M), E90, E39, E38, Mercedes C W203, Honda Accord, VW Passat/Jetta, Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 307/407, Audi A4, Seat Leon, Renault Megan, or Laguna? These represent mid-range models with engines ranging from 120 to 160 horsepower, some even higher like the E46 330i. This model isn’t a sport version but retains the classic look and performance of other engines, reaching about 230 horsepower with a top speed of 250 km/h. It’s impressive yet unexciting.
Currently, the best ways to experience these cars in games are through mods for GTA V or low-quality add-ons for clunky, city-focused experiences. City car simulators and Euro truck sims are more suitable for trucks, while BeamNG or similar tools might offer more variety. Are there other games you haven’t heard of that provide better options?
The top choice is a Gran Turismo title you can play to mimic driving—Gran Turismo 3 or 4. The San Francisco area offers many everyday vehicles, though European models are scarce; enjoy searching for any available options.
Ah yes my childhood game still have my disc, sad that it is almost impossible to get hands on today
Tbh the Forza Horizon lineup has many non sport and interesting vehicles the game is just focused on the sport ones but there is more
I've noticed this too, but where I'm from it's not possible maybe elsewhere.
It seems like people who were near the person who shared the video ended up paying $122.32 USD, even though they bought it from the same site. It appears sellers quickly capitalized on the opportunity after the video gained attention.
Great timing! It would really be hard to find it once the sale started.
Well there's that other way to get it that pretty much 95% of people here in East Europe use, not that I am telling anyone to, but the game still exists there I have played it actually before, but I forgot about it, but yes, I think most cars are non-European, but nonetheless it's a good example. If games like Gta and Watch dogs got licences, then maybe they would also have regular real life cars, which would be amazing, but will probably never happen.
