This will be the best XB360 launch game.
No doubt.

Jonnyram · Oct 28, 2005

It's starting to really shape up now... I can't wait!

Mupepe · Oct 28, 2005

those screens make me sad

imastalker co. · Oct 28, 2005

oh man, look at that, i can seriously just taste that. 100% namco right there. i think i just budged on 360 just for this game alone.

oh, and why did they make Reiko look like some Frog lizard thing.

oh, and as far as soundtrack goes, based on what namco did with katamari, menu music in racing evolution, and ridge racers, im definitely expecting one of namco's best soundtracks ever.

some of the cars look a bit iffy still, im not too sure about their designs. those levels just look like way to much fun to race in though.

callous · Oct 28, 2005

I will not pick up a 360 just for this, I will wait for the PS3 version. I will not pick up a 360 just for this, I will wait for the PS3 version. I will not pick up a 360 just for this, I will wait for the PS3 version. I will ... argh!

Why is there still polygon edges visible around the car when this system can push hundreds of millions of polys?

Elios83 · Oct 28, 2005

A few screens seem taken from the PSP version.....

The polys is hiding

Has this got something to do with the Z- Buffer?

yummy, this is starting to look nice
definately close to RRT4 intro here

and its been sighted in age certification in Germany already, so it'll be out for launch in Europe, probably US too!

Jacobi · Oct 28, 2005

OK, that looks damn great. I never played a Ridge Racer, but I want a Xbox360 now. I won't buy one though.

EGM92 · Oct 28, 2005

I liked the PSP version, the only problem was the lack in variety in cars, anyone know if there's a lot more new cars in RR6? Can't really read Japanese just yet

Lo-Volt · Oct 28, 2005

Damn, is it starting to shape up. The courses look very good, now that we're seeing more of them for a change.

Wait... There's a new PSP version?

Really, being that this is a NAMCO game, it doesn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling in regards to the machine's graphical muscle. I lean on them to show me what a console can do. I'm excited because I know the game'll be fun, but I expected much more of a leap in visuals.

Did anybody notice a pacman maze in the corner of one of screenshots.

Thats normal, it just tells you the timing of your current lap compared to your previous, or how far behind you are from first etc, can't remember exactly.

You said it in the first post of yours. Cars are probably poly starved or a simple case of bad modeling. A Z-buffer algorithm will not fix issues like this, a z-buffer algorithm is a hidden surface removal algorithm and hides/removes stuff that should not be visible to the camera.

TigerKnee · Oct 28, 2005

Looks pretty fucking hot

ourumov · Oct 28, 2005

Doesn't look spectacular or nextgen but I am certainly amazed at how the game is shaping

FAP, FAP, FAP !!!

Liquid · Oct 28, 2005

the thing i love most about RRs world is the namco game sponsered cars. popka! :lol

Kai Dracon · Oct 28, 2005

Flaming drift tire marks FTW!

snatches · Oct 28, 2005

Someone asked about how many cars, and I found these blurbs on Namco's US sites Ridge Racer 6 page:

THE ULTIMATE RACING CHALLENGE: Ridge Racer 6 offers the widest selection of cars and courses to date featuring over 130 new machines (including over 8 Special Machines), 30 challenging courses, and a classic mini-game at the start-up screen.
NEW WORLD EXPLORER MODE: This brand new mode matches the player's gaming style offering over 230 races.
EVOLVED NITROUS SYSTEM: Punch the nitrous and experience the intensity of new levels of speed.
XBOX LIVE COMPATIBILITY: Compete head-to-head in online races. Challenge the worldwide unified time attack ranking in Global Time Attack. Upload/download Ghost Data for more challenges. Players may also download new content via the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Blimblim · Oct 28, 2005

W00t, antialiasing !!

KingJ2002 · Oct 28, 2005

...so sexy

i must have this game.

CosmicGroinPull · Oct 28, 2005

Woah, looks very good now. Xbox 1.875

Beer Monkey · Oct 28, 2005

Nope, the PSP has the HUD elements arranged differently (map on the right, position and nitrous on the left). Your second screen (the one with HUD) has the elements in the correct place for the 360 version.

DaCocoBrova · Oct 28, 2005

Photoshop?

Shompola · Oct 28, 2005

Looks like they are using anisotropic filtering, must be the first game or something, scarce indeed for whatever bizarre reason. aliasing is has not been cleaned though, hopefully they will implement that 4x FSAA.

crunker99 · Oct 28, 2005

here are all ofg them from gamewatch in the original resolution they came in, not sized down

http://www.gamersreports.com/index.php?action=media&type=stories&sid=3857&id=3857&videos=0

a little bigger on all

I certainly see antialiasing. Or have my eyes gone blurry on me?

crunker99 · Oct 28, 2005

im with ya blim

you can clrealy see it on this one

now i aint sayign its good, but its there maybe only 2x?

Shompola · Oct 28, 2005

There is a lot of aliasing artifacts in the screenshots you posted. Look at the bg details, the cars also have a lot of jaggies.

Blimblim · Oct 28, 2005

crunker99 · Oct 28, 2005

look where the left wheel well meets the road on the right car, you can see it, i mean its crap but its there

as blims image pointed out, jaggies still exist at 2x aa, like i said

Shompola · Oct 28, 2005

If this is 4x FSAA then I am dissapointed. PGR 2 looks much cleaner than that.

KingJ2002 · Oct 28, 2005

namco updated the official website as well

Jaggies should be there even at 4x FSAA, but not this kind, that is my point.

op_ivy · Oct 28, 2005

looks ok in these shots, pretty dissaponting actually... but like doa4, seeing the crisp graphics at 60fps makes the game look quite nice (judgng solely from the empty demo and blim's 60fps videos).

of course the ridge series has always had killer music and presentation, so i'm pretty stoked for this one... shame they havent thrown together any trailer videos of awesome replay footage of some more exciting circuits to build up anticipation. really seems as if namco doesnt give a shit if it fails (sales wise)

HOT

crunker99 · Oct 28, 2005

i dunno those on the car maybe but on the wheel well look pretty good

check this:

there is some there too but not as much, maybe thats a better illustration, i guess we wont know for sure till we see it in motion but im with blim on this
