Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that racing fans are now able to experience AA A their first taste of its recently launched next-gen racing game, Ridge Racer 7, for free by downloading its first demo via the PLAYSTATION Network.
The action-packed drift racing demo is now available for download, to play on the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and will include a 3-lap arcade mode where players will have eight cars to choose from and a chance to race against 13 other AI cars for the full Ridge Racer experience.
Boasting 5.1 channel surround sound, a hot music track, and running on full-HD,1080p, the new Ridge Racer 7 demo gives players a taste of the fun and addictive racing experience that Ridge Racer games are known for.
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.
