By the way, anyone have .mp3s of Ridge Racer Evolution? :D
if you're reffering to Racing Evolution, then yes, i have the soundtrack. hit me up on aim or something.

but you'll only get them after you can prove that you don't genuinely think that Racing Evolution has nothing to do with the Ridge Racer series....BECAUSE IT DOESN'T.

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 :)

Don't even mention that...

Don't...

Because if it happened...

Isamu and Whippin Sean would literally fly down to the Namco HQ in Japan and walk inside and fucking bow down to the almight minds that decided that.

Even if it was just Ridge Racer, even if it was just Ridge Racer arcade... wouldn't matter... if that was included in Ridge Racer 6...

Isamu and Whippin Sean would buy 2 copies of Ridge Racer 6, play one of them, and then get the other professionaly framed and hung on our walls.

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.

GET OUT OF HERE! *pushes isamu*

Are you serious? This has to be a joke. I gotta get a hold of BOE if this is true.

Naw...he's pulling your chain.

I remember he posted some of my edited PGR2 pics on Bizarre's forum showing how it should look like. Didn't credit me! :) S'alright.

it's complete torture not being able to see what RR6 really looks like....


So true. I just watched the R4 intro yet again and literally day dreamed about being to play an RR game with those visuals in realtime. My goodness. Xexex....when the hell is the TGS? I mean, what exact dates?

Sept. 16-18th
 
To add fuel to the RR6 PS3 fire, on the cover of the new Game Informer there is a blurb about pics for Ridge Racer 6 and Resident Evil 5. The pics are the same found on the net but the interesting thing is it says on the cover that both games are coming to Xbox 360 and PS3.

That is unprecedented. No proper RR game has been on two systems. But then again, RR on a non-Sony system was unprecedented until RR DS came out..

I bet Sony show it first at TGS, along with other Namco games for PS3. :lol

How much do you want to bet? I'll put $1000 on it.

That should help cover the launch of the 360, with RR6, with an FF steering wheel, with a shitload of games and accessories.

BEST LAUNCH EVER!!

man stfu! Namco could have annouced it at the Playstation meeting 2005 but they didn't! We don't even know if it's coming to PS3.

The only game namco will show for PS3 will be Tekken.

not really.

1. Ridge Racer started off in the arcade, before it ever came to a Sony system
2. Ridge Racer and Rave Racer were being made for PC but got cancelled
3. Rave Racer was being made for N64, though it to was cancelled
4. Ridge Racer 64 was made for N64 and actually came out

Oh yeah, forgot about RR64. Wasn't it a different game than any of the others, though?
 
I just mailed this letter to Namco and got NO reply as of yet:


isamu said:
Hello Namco my name is Isamu. First off I want to thank you for announcing Ridge Racer 6 for the Xbox 360. This is a game that I'm extremely excited about. I do have a small concern/question regarding the game however.

As you are probably aware, there are a number of third party hardware developers currently developing force feedback steering wheels for the Xbox 360. Microsoft has said that they are embracing FF in racing games this gen. Bizarre Creations has also confirmed that PGR3 will support true force feedback for the first time in franchise history. My question to you is, can we expect Ridge Racer 6 for the X360 to support true force feedback steering wheels?

Take care

y r they not responding? :(

The game is being developed by the Japanese division, I doubt Namco hometek knows anything. Wait till TGS for info!

man stfu! Namco could have shown realtime stuff at the Xbox meeting, but they're saving it for the PS3 announcement on Sony's request. :)

Two rabbits and a carrot - one gets the bottom half, the thin scraggy bit which has probably been nestled deep in horse shit (Car renders). And one gets the top half, the big plump juicy fat bit (Realtime).
 
replizy from Namco today!!!!


Namco said:
Thank you for contacting Namco Hometek's Customer Support Department.

Currently there is no info available regarding the details of supported peripherals for RR6. Keep checking the website for future updates though!

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact Namco.
 
I really can't decide kind of physics handling I prefer between Rage Racer and RRV. Both of them really have some fantastic drift physics, especially the grey box car in Rage Racer.

Oh and Namco please update this track to hi-res and next gen visuals kthxbai:

Yeah, because you know that RR6 is going to kick ALL SORTS OF ASS, INCLUDING YOUR OWN AND YOUR PARENTS, ON THE XBOX 360.

Oh that's right, if you troll Ridge Racer, I'll fucking drag your parents into this. :D
 
xexex said:
I'm like, fucking dying for actual RR6 screens, damnit.... hurry up TGS :D

yeah tell me about it. do you think they will have a playable demo though?
 
Yes, and that's a really easy question to answer, but the actual situation would be hard to swallow.

I'd still buy it, but would rather have Namco go with higher framerate with less detail than the opposite. Judging from the trend, RRV and RR for PSP, it looks like they are willing to sacrifice detail for 60 fps, so I don't see it playing at only 30 fps.

But if it is being developed for the PS3 as well...and ported to the 360, you never know.
 
MightyHedgehog said:
Hypothetically...would the RR zealots in here buy RR6 if it only ran at 30fps, but looked better than the RR4 CG intro?

No. I'd wait for it on PS3, and see whether it was 60 fps there.
 
Over on the AVS forum, there is a thread asking people what games they will be picking up for their 360s. Nearly ALL of them, except me and K.Lee have not put RR6 on their list! This has me steeemed!!!

It better, because R4 CG doesn't look so hot anymore. :P

It's not really wise to make such bets.
 
jett said:

WHAT??? By what measure are you judging the CG intro? Because in my eyes it looks DAMN hot, even to this day! The road surface looks insanely detailed and the cars, well, I don't even wanna get started. Put it this way. The intro is leaps and bounds better(art wise and detailed wise) than the FMV CG footage Polyphony has shown for their GT games IMHO.
 
I'm honestly having a very hard time waiting for the release of this game, as well as PGR3. November seems sooooo far away from now. Feels like an eternity.

I also am having a seriously difficult time waiting for TGS. I mean, I am hoping Namco shows some seriously good things with RR6! I'm talking killer ingame movies and an announcement for force feedback support! Plus I hope we hear something about OutRun 2SP at TGS.

::sigh::....everything is just boring right now in comparison. I wish I could fast forward time to November right now and play RR6 right this minute online with the likes of WhippenDean, Xexex, Fight For Freedom, K.Lee, etc....

Is there Ridge Racer 6 news there? I cannot find it. Direct link?

Oh no, don't mind that. MVS just kinda misses the point of a Gaming discussion forum.

I was lacking internet access for the past 10 days, and I was hoping that I'd be coming back to some screens of this game. :(

Wait till TGS I guess.

Fight....if you were to speculate, what would you say the reason was, that MVS posted that www.livejournal.com link? Is he not a true RR fan? Or is the reason deeper than that? Could he have some psychological problems going on where, one half of his personality wants to screw with people because he prefers Motor Toon Gran Prix over Ridge Racer, and the other half is a devout RR whore and wants to play the game as badly as we do? Explain....
