Ridge Racer 6 homepage opened

WOW! Some of those shots are really wicked-looking! I wasn't all that hyped for the game...but damn!

I like the look of the Southbay Docks course.

Oh and in before Isamu/WhippinSean probably jizz all over the thread.
 
What's the deal with the courses? Are there really only 5? Or are those just 5 new ones and the rest are from past Ridge Racer games?

Didn't someone say there were 230 courses in the Famitsu thread?
 
230 race events. From that translated info isamu posted in the other RR6 thread, there are supposedly 30+ courses, with the first 5 revealed in the last Famitsu.
 
They are introducing the courses gradually rather than splurting everything at the start of the hype machine :P
There are 230 races, and 30 courses.

What's with the Japanese and their tiny little screenshots.

I guess it's because they use their cell phones all the time to go to websites, but I could be wrong. It's very annoying, that's for sure.

Ah okay. That sounds really good. Those 30+ courses probably include mirrored versions though.
 
none of those courses are new, are they?

as far as i can tell (and it's been a while since i played ridge racers, so i could be wrong):

harborline = classic track
soutbay docks = rave racer city
highland cliffs = rave racer mountain
crossbay tunnel = ridge racers variant on rave racer city
surfside resort = some ridge racer revolution track

edit: er, on a quick comparison to the ridge racers track layouts, most of the rr6 tracks look different. so i'm probably wrong.
 
Nice! I haven't been hyped for a Ridge Racer since RR4...but, after enjoying the hell out of Rage Racer, that game was a disappointment to me. RR6 will hopefully bring back that compulsive insanity I was afflicted with when playing Rage.

I am so sorry gentlemen....but how in God's Green Name can you POSSIBLY say that Project Gotham Racing Three looks even REMOTELY better than this?????

Seriously....what is going here? Where did all these blind people come from? Do you realize what you are looking at here? To say that this RR game looks like a upgraded port of the PSP version is nothing short of a serious plea to be cannabalized by african savages from the jungle!

Has it even begun to seep into your brains that we are getting all the classic tracks from Rave, RType 4, Rage and all NEW ones in glorious Hi-Definition at a rock solid 60fps??????????? Has it seeped in your brain that we are getting a Ridge Racer game that will allow us to finally race these ridiculously awesome tracks over a broadband network with voice chat???????

C'mon guys....just sit back and think about what we're getting from Namco here.

Uh oh..is this o-puh vs marty(?) / PS2 vs DC / RR vs GT: the sequel in the making?!

Quite easily--I don't wanna bring screenshots into the comparison, but gotham does have the benifit of far more complex backgrounds, spectators, and better lighting/shadow effects, etc.

But that doesn't mean this game doesn't look awesome, cause it does--they are two totally different animals, and I plan on grabbing them both!

O.K. I will concede that PGR3's tracks look slightly more realistic than RR6. But let's discuss one particular factor that no one seems to have brought up: Track Design.


Do me a favor.....go watch the recent gameplay vids of PGR3 and pay close attention to the tracks. Notice something? That's right....the designs of the tracks themselves are BLAND! They consist of too many straights, hard angular turns and NO elevation! They look BORING!!!

Now....take a look at the RR6 screencaps and watch the video. Notice how nice and curvy the tracks are. Notice the many elevation changes and uphill/downhill sections. Notice the various chicanes and banked parts of the roads. THAT is the Namco difference! And it is those differences that make RR6's tracks superior to PGR3.

And I'm sorry but from the vids I've seen of PGR3 so far, the sense of speed leaves a bit to be desired.....and that was in a freakin FERRARI ENZO!!!!!!!

The vid you see of RR6 has the slowest car in the game. I GUARANTEE YOU the fastest cars in RR6 are going to absolutely SMOKE the fastest cars in PGR3!!!!!!!!!

To be fair PGR3 has the Nurburgring. And there's really nothing that compares to that.
 
Seeing the bigger screenshots for the first time I'm kinda disappointed; half of them look very thisgen-ish at best, and what's with all the dark tones, is it always cloudy in RR world? Outdoors track designs look kinda uninspired comparing to Outrun2.
Still, I plan to get RR6 sometime in the future (once it hits 10$ :D )
Something tells me AM2 will blow the f* out of RR6 with Outrun C2C.

Here's an idea. Why don't you drop by Las Vegas next week and drive around the city. If you're cruising down The Strip and get some massive air off San Francisco-style hills, report back and then I'll listen to what you have to say.

I'm not saying that RR6 doesn't look good, because it's so hot. But comparing it to PGR3 is wacky.
 
This is just looking better and better, it's quickly becoming my most anticipated X360 game...

screen_img03.jpg


The draw distance, road and water detail...this is going to be sweet (plus 60fps!)
 
looks good, but not overwhelming.

especially this screen looks more this-gen, than next-gen.

isnt that a rave racer track - i smell a psp ridge racer game with more old, than new stuff.

Nah...Only Ridge Racer PSP...Rave Racer had just 4 tracks. However the name of this track was Rave City Downtown...hence the confussion. Rave had only 2 city tracks and 2 mountain tracks which were about the same, just different length. But the track with that castle is exclusive to the PSP Ridge Racer.

screen_img01.jpg

I swear this appeared in the E3 2k4 RR PSP footage...
 
this is from R4!!!! TOTALLY updated though!!!
rr21.jpg

230 courses? i'm gonna bet every single course EVER from the ridge series plus 30 new courses THEN mirrored/reversed to get to 230. They use the term "ridge universe" within the game. that has to mean all of ridge racers courses.
 
PGR3 has really let me down by dropping to 30fps and by making the handling substantially more simmy.

Bring on Geometry Wars 2 via Arcade download, and of course RR6.

Read again, 230 Races and 30 different courses, and yeah I'm thinking it'll be just as you described.
 
whoa this game is looking stellar. I think I'm now going to get this over PG3 initially.Not that PG3 doesn't look just as awesome, but I'm still finishing PGR1

GOD!@@!!! This game looks SO FREAKING SWEET that I could USE ITS SHIT as TOOTHPASTE!!!!

Hmmm..looks like NOBODY GIVES A RATS ASS WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, SO PLEASE... kindly... SHUT THE HELL UP FOR FUCK SAKES BEFORE YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK ANY STUPIDER... if that's even possible!
 
It doesn't look bad, but of course, for being on the X360 I was expecting maybe some more texture variety. It is of course a launch title.

god DAMN you rock! Love it! :D :D :D


Cannot wait for this as RR's play like buttah!
 
It looks nice and clean, and runs at 60FPS at 720p. It looks to be an ultimate Ridge Racer game yet, at least that's for sure.

Perhaps the lack of excitement between RR fans is due to the fact that most of this stuff was pulled last year by RR PSP ;)

Get a PSP, Ridge Racers, and F-Zero GX NOW ISAMU !!!!
