Support NeoGAF

[onken]

I feel like I'm missing something here. Why would a "demo" like this get anyone excited at all? The car design is pretty bad by Ridge Racer standards (or at least, it's not what I really prefer out of the various car designs from the series), there is no gameplay whatsoever, there isn't even a real graphical demo which shows a car racing on a track.

It actually deflates my excitement because it looks really obvious that the game is over a year away and they haven't even started making it yet. Lots of time for Namco to fuck it up and shit out another crappy Ridge Racer game no one cares about imo.

I agree, watching someone rubbing a screen (looked kinda perverted) with a car on it doesn't really make me think "that's a racing game I want to buy!".

 

[Takao]

Cellius is alive? wtf!

Sony probably got jelly of the Scamco/Nintendo Monolithsoft games, and decided to use that studio they formed with Scamco to make a game.

 

[isamu]

I have the US version and I can't get it to rumble yet all other games do, unless there's an option hidden in the game or something

isamu, I have a DS3 but I experienced no rumble in RR7. I checked the control settings menu, nothing there... I'll look into it.

Guys I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry!!!!

You are absolutely correct, Ridge R,.acer 7 for PS3 does NOT have rumble support. I must have been seriously drunk when I typed that it does. My apologies guys. RR6 does in fact support it though.

Gamasutra article on the developer, Cellius:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/35384/Cellius_Namco__Sonys_Secret_Weapon.php

Hmm, very interesting, thank you. Sounds like they are looking at this from a unique perspective (less about the gameplay and more about the frills, hopefully there's still a lot of care going into how it plays too,) which makes sense why to integrate all of Cellius and not just sequester Teramoto. Even though I'm well over this company not being the AAA studio many of us guessed it'd be (geez, remember the hysteria when Brave Arms / Second: Season One / Chain Limit leaked?,) the team has still been woefully underproductive by my math. It's possible that they've put some notable stuff together behind the scenes that I'm not aware of, but I'd love to see the payoff of a quality product with a Cellius logo on it some day.

 

[herzogzwei1989]

^ That was indeed very interesting, thanks for posting it.

 

[herzogzwei1989]

I cannot wait until we get some actual gameplay footage.

Ugh... so why bump the thread?

Sorry, I didn't mean to just bump the thread. I do hope the discussion continues though.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

There's nothing new to talk about.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Based on that interview, at least we know it won't be some lazy port or "best of" collection like RR2 or RR3DS. Or else why employ the tech-focused Cellius?

I'm super excited about this game based on the visual potential alone.

I'd imagine what you're saying is true. Indeed, why employ Cellius for just a RR3?

As am I.


And yeah there's nothing new to talk about but I cannot help but to be excited.

Ridge Racer PSP was also a 'best of' collection, and the producers of that eventually became the big cheeses at Cellius, so it's probably something they were wanting to do. As well as Hideo Teramoto, Isao Nakamura (Producer) and Satoru Ouchi (Programming Director) are there, and maybe more.

I'm more interested on the audio potential, would love to hear some gameplay.

First Screenshot Released By Namco, looks on par with Ridge Racers?

Here's some direct feed footage of the e3 tech demo/non-preview

[StuBurns]

Ugly ass 2D low res bush? At least it's a launch title.

 

[Spiegel]

Vita size:

Ugly ass 2D low res bush? At least it's a launch title.

Bad screenshot I hope. RR7 looks pretty shitty in some screens too, and with low res bushes

Spoiler

Yes, it's the worst screen of RR7 I could find

I need a video

 

[madmaxx350]

I'm excited to see this in action when the Public days open for TGS and yea that does looks like a 2d Bush

 

[jackdoe]

Ugly ass 2D low res bush? At least it's a launch title.

2D bush, but at least there's motion blur and maybe depth of field!

 

[StuBurns]

I'm sure it's suitably impressive in person.

 

[Tarin02543]

60 fps oled action come to me

 

[AgentChris]

Gimme that 60fps RRVita.

 

[Amir0x]

Whether it is impressive for a Vita game or not, it certainly looks beyond Ridge Racers. Well beyond.

As long as it's 60fps, however, the context of how impressive the visuals are will be made clear.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Yeah, As long as the framerate is high and there isn't any noticeable aliasing I'm pretty much cool with it looking like RR6/7. Can't wait!

 

[madmaxx350]

I agree, RR7 looked quite nice though, I expect this one to hold up well (bar 2D Bushes), probably looks great in motion with the ppi of the OLED screen and seriously 60fps?! I won't complain.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hope we get video footage soon

 

[sajj316]

I can deal with 2D foliage if it's 60 fps!

 

[pelican]

Nice. A real Ridge Racer game.

Thank fuck after whatever the nonsense is coming to the ps3 and 360.

 

[yurinka]

but has been confirmed 60fps?

 

[PdotMichael]

Isn't like that modern console racers have no 2D elements

 

[SolidSnakex]

The game promises a new visual style, impacftul sound, and network play with players around the world.

[Man]

It's going to be so good to finally have a proper online service on a handheld.

 

[gofreak]

That screenshot does suggest a more...vibrant look?

Hopefully we get some nice over-the-shoulder footage from TGS tomorrow.

 

[Kyoufu]

It's going to be so good to finally have a proper online service on a handheld.

It looks like every game that should be online is actually online... I love this.

 

[Amir0x]

It's going to be so good to finally have a proper online service on a handheld.

it is true. It's a far bigger innovation for gaming dedicated handhelds than some of the more gimmicky crap these things added on, that's for sure.

My biggest hope is that this isn't just another "Greatest Hits" type Ridge, I want new tracks and lots of new vehicles and new gameplay elements and a redeveloped drift system

 

[Famassu]

Ugly ass 2D low res bush? At least it's a launch title.

OH MY GOD, A BUSH I WILL NEVER EVEN SEE OR WILL SEE FOR 1 SEC AT MOST ISN'T SUPER-REALISTIC!

Vita pre-order cancelled.

 

[yurinka]

Even worst : maybe you only see it in replays.

 

[Duxxy3]

I bought ridge racer for the psp and the 3DS, so chances are i'll end up with this version whenever it comes out.

Wonder if it will look like the split second ridge racer or classic ridge racer

 

[Graphics Horse]

I hope we get video footage soon

Hopefully there'll be one in 8 hours time or whenever the Namco stage show is on.
...or was that yesterday? I'm so confused.

 

[madmaxx350]

Scans that have leaked have it looking quite interesting. I wanna see a vid now though.

Holy shit, there's one shot that looks like Eiger Nordwand from GT5.

It looks like there are night races too

 

[Tiduz]

best vita launch game.

best vita launch game.

This is confirmed fo launch?

 

[Wario64]

Confirmed last night at conference

Confirmed last night at conference

Good news. Wouldn't be a PS launch without one.

 

[MadOdorMachine]

One of the best reasons to buy a Vita imo.

 

[SkylineRKR]

This game needs to be seen in motion. I expect glorious 60fps gameplay on a handheld, it will likely look good even with crappy bushes.

RR7 doesn't have the best textures as well, but everytime I fire it up I feel its one good looking game still.

 

[PdotMichael]

Wow, scans are fantastic.

 

[madmaxx350]

I hope you mean for what they are since they are pretty shitty scans lol

I think it's one of the best looking games on any console. I'm getting spoiled I guess. I'm noticing blurriness from anything less than 1080p on my tv and less than 60 fps just loses it's smoothness and responsiveness. It's a shame more games aren't developed for performance rather than appearance. In the end, I think this is what looks better.
