Ridge Racers NA trailer

I'm not much of a Ridge Racer fan (though i liked Type4), but this title looks so damn sweet. I might just get it at launch...TM:HO, MGA, RR and possibly one more title. My wallet is crying already.
 
I love the part at the end where the two cars in the lead are spinning in circles at 150MPH. It does have an incredible sense of speed though.
 
It's 60fps, even if the video doesnt make it appear so.


i'm very impressed. this will be my first PSP game. but not certain if i will get one this year or not.

Looks fantastic. I can't believe that's a handheld title.
Whenever any non-gamer even thinks of scoffing at my little pocket wonder (condescendingly "you play little videogames?"), I'll show them Ridge Racer.



And then kick them in the nuts.

Yeah, I`m a little sceptical to the PSP lcd screen and 60fps. It will certainly look more blurry than 60fps on a TV.
 
Looks good, not a fan of the music, and this is a 1st generation game :) Can't wait to see how good games on this thing get.

The physics however are beyond laughable.... cars spinning mid jump and cars spinning out at what seems to be 150MPH yet continuing down the road in a straight line at the same speed :) I just can't help but :lol :lol at how poor that looks.

Still on my list of games to get.
 
Great trailer, but I'm still not sure if I should keep my Ridge Racer pre-order or switch it to Wipeout Pure (a title which looks equally as good)...
 
That spinning doesn't actually usually happen when you play.

It's kinda strange seeing people get excited over a game I've played and am done with over a month ago.

It motion blurs whenever you hit your nitro. Unless you're talking about ghosting. Which is minor. And I really, really don't know why you of all people are commenting on the visuals, as they're better than anything else on a handheld by a long shot. Fin. And you know exactly why I'm saying this to you, so you shouldn't be surprised. We have a phrase for it, it's called "selective criticism".

No, no, I'm saying it blurred. And it wasn't ghosting cause it was a CRT TV.

Yes, i'm being selective, but at this point people will be spoiled with PSP graphics and are going to start expecting the unattainable.

No, it actually ghosts on the PSP screen at times. It's obviously dependant on the developers to fix it since some games have no ghosting and others have a shitload (Popolocrois). Someone who owns it can give you a better description. Unless you were just watching some Namco-made video demo on Ridge Racers, and then you just have to chalk that up to bad feeds.

Well, expect the "unattainable" where? I mean, it is attainable. Isn't that the whole point behind PSP?

You obviously don't own a PSP.

disco ball is the best song in a RR game in awhile!!!

You sir, have good taste!! And that's the hottest trailer I've ever seen for a racing game. It might be the only one I've seen for a racer, but still! HOTTEST!
 
link no worky?

Anyway am I the only one.....I mean seriously....am I the ONLY one here that would have preferred Namco do the opposite of what they did and release a new Tekken game on the PSP and release a new Ridge Racer game, complete with force feedback support and online play, onto the PS2??? I just can't be alone here!

its not ment to be a realistic racer...

All Ridge Racers have pretty wild arcadey "physics" if you want to call them that...

They are very fun, though not for everybody as we can see :)
 
Best racing game ever?

So what's the deal, did Namco decide to keep the 360 degree drifts from the N64 game in this one? Looks like every car in that vid was twirling.
