You could hardly ask for a more spectacular commercial U-turn than the one Namco's pulled with Ridge Racer. It used to be the sim racer of sim racers, in which "drift" and "apex" are less gameplay factors as pagan gods, paid a sweaty-thumbed annual tribute of hours by armies of believers.
From the carnage of Burnout to the underground street racing culture of Midnight Club, Nexus Hub explores five racing game franchises that are in need of a revival today.
I agree absolutely with Ridge Racer, but would prefer what Namco did with Ridge Racers on the PSP. Basically pull Ridge Racer 1-5 together, make it all about drifting and create new tracks with the same oldskool Arcade Feel. Wipeout however? Redout and Ballistic NG replaced it for me. I miss Rock N Roll Racing in this list
I would love to see Rockstar put another Midnight Club out. I remember that game fondly, the customization was top notch at the time. It had a nice arcady feel to the driving, but looking at the cars was the main point.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In this article, I’m aiming to look at 10 of the best DLC packs on Vita – ones that offer a compelling additional experience for a reasonable price and so are well worth checking out. There were a whole load to sift through in writing this, so don’t be too disheartened if your favourite isn’t here, but do let me know in the comments what you think!"
There have been some weird controllers made for video games over the years. Namco’s NeGcon was one of the strangest, but it was awesome.
Still own two of these bad boys, it worked really well with Wipeout and Ace Combat 2 as well
I think I have seen one in my local retro game store. Just sitting there in a transparent plastic box with other obscure controllers.
Too bad I probably dont have any compatible games, it looks funny.
eh, if u do a full demolish crash would'nt you need to restart all over??? duh!! i rather bounce off the wall an keep going than restarting from beginning.
