Ridge Racer on DS or PSP?
- Thread starter Moegames
- Start date
I prefer the look of the DS game, the PSP one looks too detailed and there are probably times when you won't know whether to turn left or right because there's so much annoying detail in the way.
PSP Ridge Racer looks more realistic, but I don't think it looks better. I dunno, i'm weird, I just don't care for graphics much anymore.

I feel the same. I'm not sold on either game yet but the main thing turning me off of PSP Ridge Racer is this kind of garbage
And the thought of me feeling stupid for buying a $200 system for a racing game.

The touchscreen is so fucking useless in that game... It's like saying : "Hey, we have to develop a game for the DS, but there's a second screen and we have to use it for something...."

All sarcasm aside, I disagree. Racing games make up but one staple of any lineup, and indeed no respectable system exists without them. But I'd much rather have any number of action titles that have been featured on the PS2.
Gamers of all ages can play a racing game, but what's selling RR and GT4 Mobile is the graphics, and not so much the name. If...let's say...God of War Mobile was on the horizon, I imagine that it would be a more interesting launch title for people to talk about, and GT4 could back it up.

Then why don't you look at the 5,000 other screenshots that actually look good? :lol

It's fine if you don't care about graphics, but to say that the graphical detail of PSP RR might hinder gameplay (because you can't tell whether to turn right or left) is pure nonsense. If anything, more detailed and stable graphics make it easier to make out the track, and people have already played a ton of graphically impressive racers on the PS2, Xbox and GC to prove that it doesn't negatively affect gameplay.
Man, this thread would be welcome if (a) RR wasn't an overhyped series only getting exposure b/c it's the only good-looking game on the PSP and (b) if there weren't already two threads dedicated to this specific flamewar already. Man, even I'm getting tired of this, and I can't get enough DS ownage. :lol PEACE.
Really? I'd feel stupid for paying $200 for a system that should cost $150-180. But that's just me. :lol PEACE.seismologist said:I feel the same. I'm not sold on either game yet but the main thing turning me off of PSP Ridge Racer is this kind of garbage

Nice graphics are an initial attraction but you cant say its the only attaction. There is a history of very good gameplay associated with each series that really drives the attention.
The lame touch screen control is my only real concern about the DS version so far. The boost blur does increase my anticipation.
I just don't get the DS. Wasn't it announced after the PSP? Is it Nintendo's response to the PSP? If so, why is it so insufficient? Doesn't Nintendo realize how substandard the system looks next to the PSP? With the PSP rumored to be arriving here at an affordable price, is there really any point in owning a DS, aside from the necessity of owning anything Nintendo that many are enslaved by?
DS Ridge Racer all the way. The touchscreen control may be mediocre, but then the dpad is still there. And lets be honest, RR64 played better with the crappy N64 dpad anyway. The dpad on the DS is even better and with what will probably be a better frame rate it will probably play better than that. Not only that, but unlike the psp, single cart multiplayer will make this the best handheld racing experience around. Well, that is until Mario Kart with each player having their own screen owns us all.

I wanted to get in this post before it becomes a classic...you know, since they don't have novelty t-shirts or anything like that.
Also, has anyone played RR PSP yet? There's still a possibility it could play like shit, right? :-\

What's unique about the DS, save for the superficial? Nada. The PSP is the first system to deliver current generation graphics in a handheld. The DS offers us graphics that are marginally better than what we saw on a PS1. We're long acquainted with the visuals that we take from the PS2, Xbox, and Cube. Why take a step backwards with the DS? Laughably, Nintendo attempts to compensate for that huge shortcoming with the patronizing gimmick of a touchscreen.

Does not compute. It's Namco, It's Ridge Racer, It's new Sony hardware.
This would be funny if it weren't so hypocritical -- I'm hoping you own an Xbox. I don't consider the touchscreen a gimmick, not with what little footage I've seen. Games like Kirby, Touch n Go and Warioware will all offer new, innovative and fun gameplay.

It's not made for the people who consider the graphics to be the single most important feature of all video games. The 'point' is every single other feature of the DS.
For the record, I don't feel "enslaved" in the slightest by this rad little refreshingly unique console that I've been having tons of fun with over the last few days. I can't wait to see where they go with it!
Why is Ridge Racer DS such a huge focus anyway? I'm not convinced that the vast majority of DS owners care about it at all.

That doesn't quite work. The difference between the three consoles is much smaller -- negligible, even -- than the yawning gulf between the PSP and DS. No hypocrisy there. Anyway, my point is, I don't know too many people that will settle for the visuals on display in this thread. Why not come out with a true successor to the GBA, rather than this half-assed ploy to undercut Sony?
