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 …

    I probably wouldn’t play it considering other racing game offerings.

    I am an avid racing game player. I enjoy both sim and arcade racers. Test Drive Unlimited 2, Forza Horizon, Need for Speed Underground 2, Midnight Club LA, etc all offer a free roam driving portion of the game. But they keep my interest because of the racing part. Driving just to drive is fun in real life (when I can afford the gas) but in a video game I would rather be doing something I cannot or would not do in real life. Street racing, for example. The mechanical skill of mastering how each car drives, and the expression of that skill in a race, is part if the enjoyment of the game. Without it, the game would need other mechanics to hold my interest, such as The Long Drive, which has driving in it but has other mechanics as well.
