Pardon my lack of excitement but this is exactly what I expected out of Ridge Racers (so I'm not really suprised). I cannot wait for this game to be released, looks phenominal.
Those that do will a)buy another battery or b)carry the AC adapter with them
Haha, nice try, but unless you are talking about some weird translations or taking words out of context, noone ever really said that. They have actually reiterated so many times that the PSP is something for playing anytime, anywhere.I think SOny was right saying the PSP isn't really meant to be played away from home.

seismologist said:That's a good point. Too bad the last game from Namco was the worst in the series (R Racing Evolution).

TekunoRobby said:Coming from a consumer perspective I always thought R:RE was related to the Ridge Racer series. A re-imagining of sorts, like a spin-off that dabbles in another genre yet keeping within the same universe. Atleast on the surface it certainly seemed that way.
Was the game really that bad?
Thank god Namco hasn't made F: Fighting Evolution yetseismologist said:That's a good point. Too bad the last game from Namco was the worst in the series (R Racing Evolution).

Most of the games at TGS were 60 actually.DaCoca said:60fps @ TGS. That's good to hear assuming they were actual PSPs running the game. I just know that developers, FROM specifically, said that you're not going to see many good looking games running at that clip.
The Greenpeak Highland track (3rd one pictures) is from RAVE RACER, not RRV. So are you ready to kill, ourumov?
And they're supposed to be refined versions of those tracks. BTW, the Sunny Beach track from RRV was also in the original RR (and RRR, IIRC).
This is total BS. Before the official title was released every preview video released said stuff like "The NEW Ridge Racer", and the official trailer for the game flashes the words Ridge, Rage, Rave just before the R: R.E. logo pops up. It's sad though, because the game is duff. I think they're just better off putting it behind them.SolidSnakex said:"This is in no way a Ridge Racer game. Namco has made no insinuations that this is the successor to the drift series"

drohne said:damn. that looks terrific. is there a bit of a speed-blur effect in that video, or is that just the compression? it's unclear whether psp will quite match ps2 performance, but i think it's already exceeded dreamcast.
