Official Ridge Racer 6 Thread

I was thinking of a possible soundtrack for RR6...and I got all of these clips from one label, because I think they have a good variety and a lot of songs suitable for a racer. There were a lot of great songs that I do listen to for other racing games on the Xbox, but I chose these ones for RR, because you just can't put any song in there and expect it to work.

Retro Rush

Kinda Funky (breaks and pianos...and deep bass of course, this would be awesome for replay music)

All clips from Next Generation records. Kinda make sense since RR6 is for a next gen console harharhar! :P
 
I would really like to hear these songs, but none of the links load up for me. And I have Real Player installed. It jus says an error occured for each clip.

Returning to the shown renders/images or whatever they are, I don't like the car design...It looks too real and lacks imagination like other Ridge Racer designs.

That's exactly what I thought. The last thing I want to see is a Ferrari in a Ridge Racer :/ Btw, it logical that with the technical power of the next gen the 3D models look more detailed and is easier that they look "realistic".

Hmm...it works fine for me...I don't know why...what version of RP are you using?

Yeah, the Rage Racer CG should be the benchmark, the vid and cars and everything looked great about it. Especially the scene where it goes by the waterfall...the image looked clean (well the res of the video wasn't that high, but I'm talking about the CG) and crisp.

I agree that the cars shouldn't look more realistic...but sadly it looks to be the trend (compare Rage's far out designs to Ridge Racers' more realistic designs).
 
I am using 10.5 and it's not working at all.. so weird! Then again, I can't even get Java to work on my computer either :S Anybody have any idea as to what is wrong with my machine?
 
That's the version I'm using and it works for me. I dunno if you have any RAM to MP3 converters...

Or try reinstalling it. Well...I don't want to derail the thread. :P Try reinstalling it, or maybe see if you can get an older version from www.oldversion.com and try that?
 
WhippinSean said:
You got that right. Fuck the corporate mags and internet sites, they don't know shit besides making money.

I am 22 here and my man Isamu is roughly the same age. We ain't kidding around here.

Ridge Racer PSP was actually made for people like you, Uter. You know, the kind of person that is generally unimportant and often speaks their mind with so many worthless opinions and matters of facts. Namco decided that since games like Rage Racer and Ridge Racer V Max Tour mode were too hard for people like you, they took it upon themselves to create a curious george style racing game, you know... for yellow cowboy hat wearing, monkey loving peices of dog shit. That game is indeed Ridge Racer PSP. Now, I know what you're probably thinking by now... "Could Whippin Sean have finally figured me out? Is my secret no longer safe on the internet... should I just give up and bring out the pistol to my tempol?"... Yes, yes and YES!

You see Uter ( god with a name that shitty no wonder you got no wit ) there is without a shadow of a doubt a growing realization here that is now harder than ever for people like you to deal with. You are finally realizing that the Whip Whip and the IsaMUUU era of gaming is rising up from the underground gaming cultures you like to call "hardcore gamers", and entering unfamiliar territories by going deep into the culture phenomenon known as mainstream gamers. You know, people like you who actually spend more than half the day on internet message boards scribbling away vast amounts of messages to one another all while forgetting one important part of your life... PLAYING AND ENJOYING THE GAMES! I know, it's such a hard concept for people like you to grasp at such a late stage in your life, but with enough time and encouragement from true hardcore games like myself and IsamUUU, you too can idolize and fantasize about series such as Ridge Racer, KOF, Tekken and Jet Set Radio.

So, perhaps you could go read a book on what it is like being a true hardcore gamer before entering a thread that is dominated by two of the worlds strongest and greatest true hardcore gamers known to fucking MAN KIND! Also, throwing an early age around to make me look stupid is like calling a retard a fucking handicap, yeah... sure... I know I'm stupid but at least I got the balls and the testicular fortitude to fess up to it and at least as dumb as I may be, I can still one up you on some fucking internet message board. Believe me... if you really knew me, and realized that ALL OF THIS was being said by the same guy, you would want to fucking kill yourself and throw up in disbelief. I am the epitome of FUCKED UP!

Take that for what it is Uter. Your very existance on this planet is now questioned by your own mind. Take heed my friend, take heed for there is a storm a brewin', and it's best to stay outta things you just don't understand. Don't fret yet buddy, I haven't even begun to undo my pants to drop a load all over your ugly face... till that day comes, consider yourself lucky I spared the shit out of your know-it-all HARDCORE GAMER wannabe mother fucking ASS, BITCH!

You can't stop the WHIP WHIP mother fuckers!

Don't even try...

Fantastic post man, you just made my entire week. I quoted the entire thing because it is just that good. Dude, don't ever change, seriously. If you could go through life as long as you can being who you are now, just think of it as a gift of sorts to the rest of us here on earth. I am serious.

I don't see what the big deal is, but if it made you laugh then I succeeded. Whip Whip!
 
It's true though, Ridge Racers (PSP) is a dumbed-down entry in the series, although since it's on PSP maybe that's for the best (considering the PSP's controls). I was saying how RRV was still better as far back as January.
 
Yeah, RRV is a much better game overall. However, RR PSP is still a lot of fun and makes for a great portable title. The US MAX Tour provided a challenge, at least...

Trying to play the earlier tours in long sessions could become dull, though, as there was little challenge. Still, with so many people complaining about PSP games not being designed for on the go play, I think it works out well. The game really IS a very portable title.

Wipeout Pure was a whole lot more difficult (not that WO is really anything like RR), but that actually made it less enjoyable on the go. If I was just killing 5-10 minutes in public and wanted to race, the attention required to perform well in Wipeout sometimes made it a bad choice.
 
Yep, RRV was special...The drifting system, the graphics, the music...I liked it a lot better than RR PSP...Even though comparing both brings to the conclusion that RRV is a much "cheaper" title...

Agreed on most points. At first glance, the sheer amount of content and nostalgic value pushed RR to the heap of PSP racing, but as you said, the lack of difficulty and auto-drifits, really sinks that ship. Still a stunning piece of gaming to look at, and a nice virtual tour through RR history, but RRV and Rage offer a far more gratifying race experience.
 
All right. Ridge Racer 6 confirmed online for Xbox 360. All I needed to know! Now Whipping Sean and Isamu are going to have to look out as I rise to power in RR6! My newb-like zaniness will give me an edge as I will take chances my competition won't! I look forward to holding the RR6 crown soon. :D
 
MrBob and me can race together to improve our skillz since we're clearly not in the same racing league as WhippinSean and Isamu. but I'm pretty damn good so look out guys :lol

Umm....one of the cars, I forget whther it's the Assoluto or the Solavou, in RRV is an EXACT replica of a Ferrari Testarossa.

I wish you didn't ban my bro. He's just enthusiastic about Ridge Racer. I remember he used to play it everyday for months. Enthusiasm should be taken into consideration when deciding to ban someone. Could have warned him.

Whipping Sean was becoming too pupular around these parts.
GA mods only want one ass to be kissed, theirs.
 
That's not true. Most GA mods are reasonable in their actions. I just think they should re-evaluate this one. My brother can not be taken seriously when he says some things. It's usually pretty funny.
 
Heheh, I was going to risk banning by splooging over RR6 in OTHER gaming and OT threads totally unrelated to RR6...but now I think I'll restrict it to this thread.

Actually after looking at Sean's posting history I'll have to even keep it down in this thread! Curb your enthusiasm people!!

Ridge Racer 6 looks to be an excellent title, I can't wait to play online ove-*BANNED*


:P
 
Yeah, my bro is on a temporary hiatus for the moment. But he'll be back in no time to represent the RIDGE RACER CREW!!!! Cuz ya Can't stop the WhipWhip!!!

Fight for Freeform are you gonna buy a steering wheel for Ridge Racer?
 
Anybody seen those RR6 car pictures from the first page hosted elsewhere? Been using one for wallpaper, but I could do without the big "IGN.com" watermark in the corner.
 
I dont think it will come to PS3. RR isnt a major franchise. Xbox owners will still buy more of EA's racers than this.
 
Guys....let me ask you an honest question.

Now...be honest with me.....Given what you've seen so far from Bizarre Creations and the PGR3 realtime trailer, what are the chances, in your opinion, that Namco will be able to develop RR with the kind of graphics and visuals displayed in the FMV intros from both Rage Racer and RR Type 4? If not, how close will they get to it?

In your opinion, does the PGR3 trailer give you a good indication that the RR FMV intros are the kind of graphics we can look forward to from Namco? How would you compare the visual images, from an aestetic point of view, between the PGR3 trailer and the RR FMVs? Which one looks more feasible on the 360?

Please discuss, because I am seriously going to rupture an artery if they can pull off RR FMV type graphics in realtime on the 360!
 
FMVs are always lightyears ahead of gameplay graphics. No one wants to tone graphics enough to look like Resident Evil Code Veronica's opening sequence. It was beautiful and that was years ago. Not even Resident Evil 4 looks that good. This game is no different.

By the way, anyone have .mp3s of Ridge Racer Evolution? :D

you are completely and utterly WRONG

The RR FMV sequences do not look lightyears beyond what we've seen on 360 so far. If you look at what Bizarre is currently showing for PGR3, you would have to be blind not to be able to draw a comparison between those visuals and the FMV intros for both Rage Racer and RType 4. If RRType 4 had an intro that was basically the same thing as what was shown by Bizarre at the 360 summit, then you would probably say it is CG graphics that cannot be done in realtime!

I'm definately getting it for PGR3...but the funny thing is... I NEVER considered getting it for RR6 as well! I've always used the controller for it. Never even used the NegCon. Anyways, since I'll have the wheel, I'll give it a shot, but if we are having competitions, I'd prolly stick with the pad.

As far as Namco attaining say, Rage Racer pre-rendered CG level of graphics goes...I think it's totally up to them.

They could pop lots of detail and stuff, or have it look simple but with insane CG-esque lighting. IMO it's all about how much attention is put into lighting and picture quality to get the CG look. Car models and trackside detail will be of high resolution (as in, far more polys) and that is no longer the issue. The issue now is having super high res textures, FSAA, and great lighting (self shadowing and casted shadows for everything).

If I had my Japanese PlayStation with me, I'd record the Rage Racer intro right now (and host it) to see what is needed, but unfortunately I onlyhave a NA PS2 and anyways my copy of RR is at home in another city. :P

You make a good. I certainly hope they will consider making the game look at least as good as the RR Type Intro.

The encouraging thing about this is that BeOnEdge is now the graphics program director for Namco in Japan and is working directly on RR 360. He has told me that he will have direct input on the visual style of the game, and that he will also try to get the lead desinger to call me and get my input on what the direction the series should go in.

I gotta agree with Isamu.


even *IF* Rage Racer and Ridge Racer Type 4 CG intros look better than PGR3 on Xbox 360, it is not by much.

the new consoles should get pretty close to late 1990s Playstation1 CG. we are already seeing the beginnings of it.

it is true that even old PS1 CG will have a few graphical advantages over the graphics of the new consoles, but that advantage will be blurred by the new consoles ability to pump out more detail looking graphics, even if they're somewhat less 'clean' as CG as far as anti-aliasing and such.

That's true Sexsex :)
 
in a year or less, we should be playing Ridge Racer 6 on our 360's online and offline. i'm so glad Namco is decided not to make some 'new' racing game for 360 in the same vein as the Racing Evolution. maybe i already said that, i can't remember :)

in teh immortal words of patrick swaze in Point Break..."I know man, aint it cool?"
 
what's the likelyhood that Namco will smile down on us by including, in Ridge Racer 6, some of the older RR games: arcade Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer 2, Rave Racer
playstation Rage Racer -

or even just the 3 arcade games, like Namco did with PS2 Tekken 5 by including the 3 original arcade Tekkens.

It's the normal thing to do these days :)
