...Confirmed Launch title

add it to your List Twisted

hmmmm ridge racer wasnt all that good anyway prefer burnout for an arcade racer
also full auto looks pretty kool

Ridge Racer is always a launch title each generation and they all suck.

no argument from me.

just handing out launch info

I'm just doing my duty and pissing all over the dry spots

you any good with photoshop?

I need someone that is. Im not great and it takes me forever to do what some people could do in 3 minutes.

LMAO..look at this xbox jewel!! that rocks!!!

No on the photoshop. I am in the same boat as you, it takes me forever. I guess I just never had an interest in it.

Well I'm great with Photoshop but I don't have it on my work computer, or my laptop at home... and my desktop is still in a box until I'm finished re-modeling my office

I might send you something later

hhahaha n/m, I used Paint, took 5 seconds..

Now we need to make one of me pissing on my PS3 grill like you said in another thread

check General

what are u guys on, ridge racer owns. o only wish that they kept putting more out after the orriginal launch.

exactly what do you mean by "kept putting more out" they're on friggin #6... there arn't too many franchises up in that range still around today.

the best thing about it is sony loses another exclusive title now if only F1 would do the same but its probally under some contract

I like the way you think

we just need to rid this place of the 4 or 5 mentally handicapped members and we'd have a good family going here

the more i see these ps excluives jump to the 360, the more i realise why im not interested in my ps2. I have no interest in any of these games at all. In my opinion they all suck. Sorry if that sounds fanboyish but honestly, these arent good games at all. Why do the ps fanboys like this shit!? This is good for ms from a business standpoint but xbox was doing fine in terms of quality without them. When i read that ridge racer was gonna be a launch title, my initial response, " hmmm im hungry..... I feel for some pizza....". I mean who cares?

good for all those ridge racer fans, im not hating. I just wanted to speak my mind.

Feel free to flame if you want, cause if you flame me im gonna fart

I thought Ridge Racer for the psp wasn't all that bad. But I did only play like two races.

agreed

I feel the same, its why its so easy for me to dislike sony, they have never offered me anything I liked, except for tomb raider 2 eight years ago.

yet somehow these shit titles sell, and well.

its rumoured to be ready for launch its going to have to be special to compete with pgr3 and test drive is looking decent as its getting along and theres also burnout as well 360 going to be a racers dream

Burnout isnt a Launch title for 360, thats coming later on I believe.

RR on the PSP was excellent. Shallow, but good.

ridge racer for psp owns, simple as that. it one of there bvest titles.

not to get off topic, but you people spent what? 150 to 250 for that tiny ass pos handheld?

Im making a list.

If I see any of you whine about the 360's price, watch out

Meh, PGR3 will probably be better, and it will definitely have better live support.

hahahahahahahaha

I've been wanting to get a new portable but I just don't like what I see right now. Both the PSP and DS have pretty lame games. The only attractive thing on the PSP for me right now is it's modibility. The only attractive thing I see on the DS is the Nintendo name and the fact that it's $100 cheaper than the PSP.
But the games? Hmmmm.... I guess that will change when the new Castlevania comes out later this year.

Until then, my GBA SP works just fine.
I know this has gotten off topic but what ever happenned to the rumors surrounding the GBA's true successor?
I heard a while back that Nintendo was working on a handheld even more powerful than the PSP....

Whats all the hype behind this game? I've never played one but by all the features and all the articles I have read and reviews it looks like some generic racer that is easily out done by PGR or NFS. The graphics are okay but it looks rather bland gameplay wise, is it just because it used to be a sony exclusive?

theres hype for this game?

lol I havent seen any, and if there is, Im ignoring it.

cant stand the series.

id show as much excitement over this as I would a Tekken for 360

ridgeracer hasnt been a sony exclusive for years, it came out onthe n64, DS, gamecube..and..the xbox


who needs ridgeracer when we have 200 tactical war games and 200 fps to look forward to anyway

I have nothing bad to say about the PSP. Im actually impressed. This is the handheld Ive been waiting to see. The screen alone makes me love it. My friends joke that its more powerful than ps2!....lol

ridge racer was on xbox?

and incognegro, a hard boiled egg is more powerful than the pspoo

It never came out on the current gen Xbox... but yes it did come out on N64 and DS

PS1: Ridge Racer
PS1: Ridge Racer Revolution
PS1: Rage Racer
PS1: Ridge Racer Type 4
PS2: Ridge Racer V

PSP: Ridge Racer

N64: Ridge Racer 64
DS: Ridge Racer:DS

Now... Ridge Racer 64 was NOT developed by Namco like the other Ridge Racers were. The "Ridge Racer" name was licensed by Nintendo and they developed the 64 version themselves it has no real ties to the Ridge Racer series other than name... the DS version was simply a port of the N64 version.. So I ask you... can it really be considered part of the series?

Ridge Racer is Sony's Arcade Racer... it's essentially their PGR... before GT it was the "flagship" racer for the Playstation.

Considering it's Sony "exclusivity" (baring the licensing out to Nintendo) I wonder if it will not only come to the 360, but do so exclusively?

Ummm......it is more powerful than the PS2. The PS2 only had a GFX Synthesizer. Many GFX functions were done in software mode (not hardware) and any form of shading/mapping was emulated and very slow. The PSP on the other hand does have a full GPU. All functions that were emulated and done in software on the PS2 are now done in hardware. Thus making it faster and more powerful. Its kinda like when you run 3dmark03/05 and it does the CPU tests. Those would be just your CPU running GFX, while the normal tests are CPU and GPU and they look much better and run much faster. Even the CPU is 33Mhz faster in the PSP and it is the same type of CPU as the PS2.

My brother, 2 other friends and 4 people I work with have PSP's and we all love them.
In fact the wierd thing is that I haven't played my Xbox since I got it... now that I think
about it I've missed out on several months of games!




Well Namco's R: Racing Evolution was released for the Xbox and is technically in the
Ridge Racer family (like Rage Racer). Unfortunately it was a lame attempt at a GT style
game.

If the new 360 RR game goes back to it's roots, and plays like an enhanced PSP version,
then it may very well be one of the games I get at launch.
Oh yeah, a 360 Tekken or Soul Calibur would make me very happy as well.

I didn't realize that R Racing Evolution was part of the Ridge Racer family

That was a pretty good title I played a decent amount of it. Certainly didn't remind me of the other Ridge Racer's I've played, though I never played 5.

sorry for my ignorance, i dont really care to much for handhelds even though the psp impresses me.

Sorry dude, I didnt call you ignorant. I was just stating facts.
