Continuing its illustrious history, Ridge Racer 7 returns as a title on the Playstation 3 platform.
Remakes and remasters have become a staple of this generation, and Ace Combat 7 Game Director Kazutoki Kono opened a couple of interesting polls on his Twitter account about two of Bandai Namco’s most classic series.
Give me every Ace Combat from 1 to 5 and any Ridge Racer will do. Flight Combat is my favorite genre, Ill take everything you can give me.
AC4 was my first experience not only of the series, but also my first PS2 game. Remember hammering it for hours at Xmas when I got it.
Would love to see it brought back :)
Eurogamer:
"December 3rd, 1994 - Sony launches the original PlayStation in Japan, bringing with it seismic shift in the nature of console gaming. The 2D era of sprites and bitmap art was coming to an end, with polygon-driven 3D the new standard in state-of-the-art visuals. The Sega Saturn launched a couple of weeks ahead of Sony's debut console, but it was the PlayStation that set the standard for technological innovation in this new era. Namco's Ridge Racer launched alongside the new hardware - and it was a revelation."
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiddgeeee Raaaaaaaaccceeeeeeeeeer, everyone!
Says Kaz. Never forget.
the space invader loading screen was great in that game, complete it all to unlock all the cars and the special black car. those were the days, no micro transactions to buy a faster car in those days.
please bandai-namco. bring these classics back with online multiplayer for psn and xbox live. the newer games are utter crap.
Damn! I completed this game 100% once. I got all the cars, did all the crazy challenges to unlock every last one of them. The Space invader thing, everything.
I just gotto say it: THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!! :))
As is becoming more and more common, the PlayStation Store in North America will be holding yet another Flash Sale that runs through the weekend, this time with the focus on racing games.
- PSLS
Nothing for me here, though I like how Sony has been pushing a lot of deals like Steam.
Whoo finally a PS4 flash sale... after I sold it. ):
Wtf one game? They really gotta step up PS4 sales man
nothing but crap i expected better then this oh well if gt 6 was in that list it be autobuy no brainer but its not
I've been trying to put my finger on it, I think RR looks great but something always throws me off when I look at it, but i think its this:
The game has great graphics, but its designed with semi-unrealistic textures to fit into its light gaming environment. By light i mean its not as serious as GTHD and for example, it leave fire trails and what not..
So i guess the way it looks is a combo of great graphics with unrealistic dare i say "fun" textures?
Just beautiful. The drifting was portrayed perfectly (save for the unrealistic textures #1 mentioned). I hope the play matches the look.
12Volt I agree with the "fun" textures thing but for me, personally, they won't mean much since they aren't an integral part of the game. As long as I can corner smoothly, see beautiful scenery, and get my butt kicked by some AI then I am entirely happy, maybe even ecstatic.
Never gotten into RR, and it's on its 7th game... Wonder how the reviews will reflect
