Namco Bandai disappointed many with its E3 showing of Ridge Racer 7 for the PS3. The company didn't actually show the PS3 title, instead opting for a pre-rendered video designed to show its vision for future installments of the series.
Four months later, and we're at last set to get a first look at actual Ridge Racer 7 material. While Namco Bandai will be updating the game's Japanese website later this week, the latest issue of Famitsu got the scoop with a few new details.
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.
I'd be happy with Ace 5 and RR T4 :D
And an Ace 3 actually localized without removing the whole story.
I totally agree! Love flight games and racing games, whenever I bought a new PlayStation a Ridge Racer was always that I got with it, was kinda bummed there was (and still is) none for the PS4
Adventure and maybe even FPS games makes sense but Why do THESE games need remakes?
I played one where the wingman becomes the main villian. Can't remember which one it is.
4 was the first one I played and it was really good. But I like 5 the best. Being able to control your comrades was great and the story was just slightly better. Though no one is more legendary than Mobius 1.
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.
That is actually in the game, that's why he said it that way... but I guess you're to young to know that.
You lost the bet. I played the very first Ridge Racer game on the first 32 bit Arcade machine when you were on dipers. Can't take a joke, huh?
I can take a funny joke, not one trying to make fun of an internet Meme which was made based on ignorance. And what makes you think I was that young in 1993? Anyway, if I misjudged your intent with that comment I'm sorry for that, but with so many trolls on here sometimes it's hard to differentiate jokes from trolling.
Just don't take things too serious. That works for me. And that wasn't even a try for a joke. It was just a memory that everyone shares, at least the ones who follows the Sony brand. ;)
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
A lot of flying around on your dragon and timed stuff... so yeah I think it can be categorized as racing if anything.
I bought Asphalt Injection and Cel Damage(cross-buy PS3/PS4/PSV) I also came across a free-to-play game on Vita I never heard of before, Deathmatch Village.
Nothing for me here, though I like how Sony has been pushing a lot of deals like Steam.
I don't think steam has any affect on what sales go on the ps store...sony has always been about good deals...
lol...the "agrees"
you got, shows just how much Sony has come over anything Steam can ever offer.
Whoo finally a PS4 flash sale... after I sold it. ):
Wtf one game? They really gotta step up PS4 sales man
Yeah clearly that's what's needed with 10 million plus consoles sold before or just after destiny launched.
Clearly just pissed the xbone can't get over 5.5 mill. Playstation is wiping it's ass with the xbone.. it's hilarious.
He may have sold it. I sold my launch PS4 to buy the Titanfall bundle. then I saved up and worked some overtime for the summer and yesterday I bought the PS4 last of us bundle with a second controller and second son on the side (and knack for my kid). People sell things all the time for different reasons. I was called a liar as well on this site when I sold mine. Why would someone make that up?
@Areswarlord
I believe you, but it's probably the way he said it. At my friend's game store, he's had 2 people trade in their PS4s for Xbones, and he's had 8 people trade in their Xbones for PS4s. So it indeed happens.
''Clearly just pissed the xbone can't get over 5.5 mill shipped''...fixed!.... lol
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
Nothing but crap ? WTF I would be cheering if I only had something I could play this software on. That is one hell of a sale.
I am soooo shocked!!
What is the reason your on this site again?
I gave you some good news especially the developer of GT series on his thoughts of PS3, give me a break
I'm not dissing your news... I'm saying I'm not surprised that we're getting rendered footage of a PS3 game.
I apologize, just wait until TGS my friend Im telling you. TGS is where you will SEE AND UNDERSTAND what Sony is trying to do with the PS3 and it is where the playable games will be unleashed .... I can't wait to see LAIR!!
i hope RR7 has a positve show and Great graphics to boot because i loved RR6 on the my 360 more than PGR3. and with no GT5 at launch RR7 will be the one to battle it out with Forza 2.
