I'll download it hoping it's not terrible. It'll be terrible, right?

 

[Herb Alpert]

As a massive RR fan this disappoints me. Any chance of the revenue from this funding a real game for the next gen systems?

Nah. Now it is the opposite. Wecome to next gen. Mobile next gen.

 

[RetroStu]

lol, my thoughts exactly.

 

[SmokyDave]

Eh, maybe. The last iOS RR was cack though.

 

[MaschinenZimmer]

Well, I'm sure they will use the money to open a new studio where they concentrate on developing great arcade racers for PC and consoles.

 

[Anteater]

wtf is up with the framerate in that trailer >_>

 

[jett]

I'm not even mad. Expected. RR7 was the last RR game worth playing.

Good night, sweet prince.

 

[RetroStu]

Ah the memories, gaming was so cool back then-

They don't make game music like that anymore!, Ridge Racer will never be forgotten.

 

[Doffen]

Not for WP8? Yes, indeed disappointing.

 

[Wonko_C]

At least it is not based on Unbounded/Driftopia, which is a step in the right direction.

Spoiler

It will be unplayable in my iPhone 4

NEVER FORGET!

 

[geomon]

Ridge Racer Slipstream for iOS and Android.

 

[GeoGonzo]

Not for WP8? Yes, indeed disappointing.

Doesn't the word disappointing mean that it didn't meet your expectations? Were you really expecting a WP8 release?

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Oh God, I'm making it my life's mission to fly to Tokyo and slap Namco's shit.

 

[bjork]

Console gaming died when this gen started without a Ridge Racer.

It's like the videogaming equivalent of when Richie Valens' necklace breaks in La Bamba.

 

[RaikuHebi]

it´s like a soccer celebration gone wrong..

More comparable to thinking you've scored, celebrating like mad, only to find out everyone else is looking at you funny because the linesman called offside.

I'll download it hoping it's not terrible. It'll be terrible, right?

Don't encourage them.

And WipEout .

 

[Digital-Hero]

Using the same tracks from RR6 and RR7. So lazy.

[EDIT: Still waiting for a real Ridge Racer 8]

 

[pixlexic]

Depends on how far back they go in compatibility really.

I would buy a. Ios controller and hdmi out for a good rr.

 

[JLeack]

Kill it! Kill it with a spear!

 

[RaikuHebi]

It's all about *dat nostalgia they learned from Kaz.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Massive framerate problems in the official trailer isn't a particularly great sign. If they patched that, I would probably buy the game.

 

[Valkerionseven]

You're a dick for that title...

Bamco even more so though.

 

[Aostia]

Look at that Capcom new mobile studio funded by MH4 revenues...

 

[Phatmac]

I miss the times when Ridge Racer was awesome.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[Astery]

Well RR was on iOS way before this, but yep it's still disappointing news. Looking for the real racing 3 money aren't we Bamco?

 

[Red Chocobo]

My emotions have been played with.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

God damn it. I was excited for a few seconds.

Since I could care less about a ios version of Ridge Racer I might as well as a Ridge Racer question.

What was the Ridge Racer game with the "story" mode with the female racers?
I want more of that please.

People are saying R:Evolution, but there was also a story mode in R:4 as well which is a vastly superior game. I'm not saying they're wrong, just make sure it's the right game before you buy. Or just get Ridge Racer 4 instead anyway. Like I said, it's one of the best RR's going.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I done fucked up. (dp)

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

GOD DAMMIT OP WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SUCH A TITLE.

I was so excited that Ridge Racer might finally be making a proper comeback, and then... dreams crushed.

I'll still check this out, though. I'm not a big iOS gamer, but I've had a fair bit of run with Asphalt 7 and 8, which are basically Ridge Racer with lower production values. There's always an outside chance that they could do right by this, or at least as right as a Ridge Racer on iOS could be.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[baekshi]

This would have looked great on PS Vita.

Spoiler

think this will play well with DS3 on Android.

 

[epmode]

You didn't fool me, OP!

 

[Piccoro]

Not like this...

 

[twinturbo2]

I'll be honest, I preferred Daytona USA and San Francisco Rush anyways in terms of '90s racers.

 

[deroli]

Pfft GAF I'm way too experienced with these kind of threads, you can't fool me anymore. Whenever a game is announced out of nowhere and no platforms are listed in the title, I assume the worst, i.e. Browser games, F2P and or mobile games. This way, I'm not disappointed when I read the thread :I
If the game offers classic RR gameplay, great edm tunes, no pay to win bullshit, no constant nagging about microtransactions and DS3 support, I will check it out. That's a lot of ifs, though.

 

[VXLbeast]

12 CARS!? Where do I sign up???????

 

[Space Runaway]

Goodbye Ridge Racer

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Cannot be quoted enough...

 

[Espada]

GODDAMN IT! Why did I get my hopes up!?

Come on guys, at least put out one more traditional RR game.

 

[Nerdkiller]

Just learnt of this now.

Spoiler

Honestly, is the margin for profitability on an non free to play iOS game that large?

 

[EhrgeizVII]

Damnit! I need RR8 for PS4!

 

[oconnomiyaki]

This thread...

 

[Yoshi]

Whenever I read "new X announced" as a title, not mentioning the platforms, I already know it's just some phone game.

 

[Hasney]

I'm glad it's not a File Transfer Protocol version, but I really would like a fancy next-gen one. Either classic style or Unbounded, I loved them both!

 

[PaulExcellent]

fuck you op why you gotta hurt me

 

[katsubento]

Oh...damn. That hurt. Really really hurt.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Japan stahp

 

[EhrgeizVII]

Felt really weird picking up a new Playstation console without a fresh Ridge Racer to play.

 

[Jac_Solar]

Do car games work well on Ipads?
