TOKYO--According to Nikkei Net and a recently publicized earnings report from Namco, the company will release a new Ridge Racer game sometime before the end of its 2005 fiscal year, or March 31, 2005. No specifics regarding the platform have been disclosed.

Ridge Racer 6: Return of Reiko!

 

[Culex]

I think it's safe to say that it will be PS2 only.

 

[GuntherBait]

I think it's safe to say that it will be PS2 only.

That or PS3 launch title.

 

[Guileless]

Will Namco ever again approach the quality of Ridge Racer Type 4?

 

[Midas]

I think it's safe to say that it wont be for PS3 if it's a 2005 title.

 

[Kiriku]

So what happened with the PSP Ridge Racer? Couldn't this be it? Or was it just a tech demo?

 

[Midas]

I guess that's a possibility.

 

[solarplexus]

Namco means the PSP Ridge Racer.

MY F'N EYES!!!!

Will someone please hand me a scalpel so I can scrape that image from the uppermost layer of my eyes. Please tell me that's not an official Namco model...

 

[ourumov]

As some of you point, the most probable is that they are refering to the PSP one...

 

[GigaDrive]

it might be the PSP Ridge Racer, it might not be. I'm hoping this is the Ridge Racer 6 that was announced awhile back, and that PSP RR is another game.

Ridge Racer The Sixth
We know for a fact that Namco is working on the next Ridge Racer, though it's probably not titled Ridge Racer 6. Rather, it's probably entitled something much smarter, much slicker. R: Racing Evolution was a side-step for the company, an off-shoot that neither garnered much interest nor sales. We've learned that Namco is considering using the HDD for various purposes (including enabling players to download the first Ridge Racer to the PS2 with updated graphics), and that the game will return to the arcade-style mechanics it's so well known for, including bringing back the pressure sensitive control from the latter games, such as Ridge Racer 5.

That just ain't right. Then again Reiko(or whatever the hell her name is) being based on a man ain't right either.

 

[Dujour]

Those apes better make it an actual Ridge Racer game this time. I want my grooving powerslides. And I want to listen to custom music. >:O

Couldn't agree more. I wouldn't have disliked 5 so much if 4 wasn't so perfect.

Even though it came before RRT4, it's still the king of the series imo.

 

[neptunes]

type 4 is good...


still haven't finished that last track (it's been 3 years DAMMIT!)

 

[Crazymoogle]

Time to stir up the nest I suppose...

Rage Racer > Ridge Racer V >>>>>> Ridge Racer 4

 

[MrPing1000]

Id forgotten about that haha

It could be incredible if they decided to do a direct sequel to RRT4... and yes, I know Ridge Racer V exists. But I mean, a game that follows the same formula, along with team storylines, etc.

 

[Pelao]

I hate you for this necrobump so much.

Why did you give me hope, only to crush my dreams?

 

[F0rneus]

Yeah! That's really nice to....


OH FUCK OFF

 

[Skifi28]

Have you been sitting on this for twenty years?

 

[IAmRei]

Dang, i thought it is new game from the series...

Dang yu necros...

 

[Darkkahn]

You suck!

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

We need more arcade racers. NON - open world please.

 

[Fredrik]

Right in the heart, thanks for ruining my day!

 

[Alex Anderson]

Getting feels of playing the demo disc including the first game all those years ago on vacation to Duck, NC. The rental store had a ps1 but no games!

 

[Majormaxxx]

Hehe

 

[StereoVsn]

Dammit. Come on, OP, that’s cold.

Are you a ‘similar threads’ type of poster? Or you didn’t want to make a new thread? Not complaining just curious.
