Once upon a time top down racing games were what anyone knew or loved from them. However as time went on and our racing games technologically evolved, a feature called "Replays" started to exist in them. As games graphically got better, they became a way to showcase, highlight, or see crazy moments that one had during said race. So anyone would figure that something like this would never go out of style right? Well over the past couple of years replays have started disappearing from racing games and we're not entirely sure why.
