Looks great. But someone got their Burnout in my Ridge Racer. Can't wait to try this.

These are from the opening FMV:

 

[Fafalada]

She still looks scary after all these years.

 

[Dracos]

Still hard to believe it's a handheld.

 

[Gek54]

Seems more of a NfSU visual rip off.

 

[ourumov]

Simply awesome. They are the kings when it comes to track design.

I love these kind of tracks

 

[Buck]

R.I.P. DS, we hardly knew ye

:lol

DoooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

 

[doncale]

AweZoooom!

 

[Virgin Wii]

This game is visually stunning. But if I'm going to get a PSP it'll be for Wipeout Pure.

 

[mumu]

[mr2mike]

Uh, why is it asking you to specify the play time?

 

[mumu]

Uh, why is it asking you to specify the play time?

Uh oh.

 

[neptunes]

so it'll match a course geared towards your play time.

The single-player World Tours mode, Namco's revealed, doesn't necessarily follow a set path. Instead, it can automatically generate a selection of different races depending on how much time a player has for a given session. If you input the amount of time you want to spend and your choice of racing classes, the game will take that and spit out a series of races that can be cleared in about that amount of time.

Look at the 1up page. There's an explanation there.

 

[mumu]

That actually makes sense in a "pick up and play RR PSP during a short break" kind of way.

 

[Miburou]

Look at the 1up page. There's an explanation there.

Thanks. Sounds really interesting, especially after you've cleared all the regular tracks, and unlocked everything.


Crisis averted.

 

[Insertia]

That's one slick menu set-up/presentation. Screw dual/touch screens, PSP is the next generation of handheld gaming.

 

[thefit]

Uh, why is it asking you to specify the play time?

Actually it's asking you what capacity battery you purchased after the PSP launch....ZING!!

 

[snapty00]

Motherfuck.

Damn, thats a really good idea.

This looks like such a killer app. If only MG AC!D and Dynasty Warriors weren't reported to be so unimpressive. Between those two, this, and Hot Shots Golf I'd have more than enough reasons to buy a PSP around launch.

 

[mr2mike]

That's the kind of Idea I see only being born in japan. every where there are public transport commuters, but japan really take train riding to the extreme, so it was only a matter of time until a portable game offered you to set play time for "that 30 minute ride to work".

brilliant.

but I dont see myself using it

 

[acklame]

hoooooot!

 

[Saturnman]

Looks cool, but has gameplay been dumbed down with that new boost feature?
