you can't put a price on sparks
this looks really nice. i've never played a ridge racers game but if this is the only racing game out that i'm interested in when ps3 comes along, i'll probably get it.

IGN's got a new preview up with some comments from the producer in Hyper PlayStation magazine (is that like the OPM of Japan or something?) Still pretty vague on what the trailer is supposed to be though (2010? WTF, how about 2006?)

Yeah, there isn't much info around right now. The article at Impress Watch, for example, only contains the information discussed in the magazine article from last week and notes that you should anticipate more information at E3.
All we know now is that it includes 20 tracks, more than 160 events, online team play, and car customization (both style and performance). I simply hope they decide to ramp up the difficulty a bit faster this time. RR6 and Ridge Racers remained easy for FAR too long...

The comment about the trailer was interesting in terms of what we're actually looking at, or not looking as the case may be. They mention that while it includes elements from RR7, by it's name it's an attempt to see what a RR game will be like in 4 years time, when "developers and gamers are pushing the system". I take that as a reference to the concepts presented in the trailer relating to online etc. as much as the graphics - though I think probably everything but the city shots probably aren't realtime, and even the city stuff looks a bit touched up (or just ultra clean, whichever you prefer).
I wonder how far along the game actually is? I guess we'll find out soon, but I'm not as sure as some others seem to be that it'll be a launch title..

this article means 2 things
1- RR7 is ps3 exclusive [ the developers talking about the Cell and stuff and dissing the 360 in respected way] when he said
A- Teramoto and crew believe that the Cell and RSX chips give them the chance to achieve a "Feeling of Ridge Racer" better than they were able to in Ridge Racer 6."
B- "When actually getting our hands on the PS3 hardware," he explained, "as we gained a deeper understanding of what things we could realize, it was clear that we could realize something different from 6." It was with this realization that the team decided to make a new entry in the series"
2- sabatoge 360 to the heart even the blind can see it

That's your interpretation.. to me it sounds like RR6 was the bad 'ramping up' period all companies are facing in the transition to Next Gen and their programmers, artists etc were more familiar with next gen techniques by the time they got their hands on ps3.
Whatever, this still looks decidedly average.

They could be suing some RR6 assets, but its becoming pretty clear that this isn't some quick port with a new number slapped onto it that some were saying it'd be in the original thread posted about this game.

Actually I read that as
"PS3 is great, it allows us to make a better feeling RR game -cause the 360 proved incapable here where, oddly enough, the PS1 and PS2 could also provide that 'feeling'- and include things like advanced physics. BUT we're not going to use advance physics and other things RR doesn't need...
...
Oh yeah and the online is going to be super friggin sweet, even though we neglected that on the 360, where it can be argued such features are it's strength.
Look man, it's Sony! LOLZ."

Anyone who really believes, after all this, that PS3 has som eexceeding power that's going to allow some amazing impossible gameplay elements, in an arcade racer nonetheless, over 360 must be delusional.
The reason there is a RR7 is because it's RR. RR always launches with Sony. People (in Japan) line up for it. Simple as that.

Yeah what kind of crap is it? I mean I dont care to see how the game will look for in 4 years if wii cant play this game. Obviously I miss something or what they are going to show at E3 is not the game but what they believe achievable in 4 years?...
:/
or reading comprehension FTL...

more than anything, i'd love for the cars to be that quality. None of the generic base models with textures replacing geometry(RR6). I want to see the edges, cures, and grooves on the cars modeled in beautiful 3d.

It depends totally on what they mean by that. In terms of game concept or graphically, or..?
Terming the city shots to be from a "technical test" suggests they're running off hardware for that part at least (if perhaps, "cleaned up"..maybe not, but they seem very clean to me).

That makes sense and then it'll be playable at TGS or Sony's PS3 show later this year. Although I wonder if it'll be further in development than Ridge Racers when it was first shown where you raced in a first person view because they hadn't finished the car models at that point.
Elios83 said:
I gotta agree with the thought that their explanation on RR7 is just ridiculous.
Q: Why did you decide to go with an all new RR for PS3?
A: "Guys, PS3 will help us realize our Ridge vision better. On PS3, we can convey the feeling of speed way better! 360 is not capable of conveying speed."
Q: Is there anything else?
A: "There is this happy feeling you get when you start playing right away. Impossible to translate on 360, you see!"

haha time for the xbots to start weeping..... that was sabotage 360 indeed.....but dont worry, forza 2 is just around the corner. Ridge Racer has always been a part of playstation, in fact im suprised 6 actually came out on XBOX 360.

I have RR6. While I do enjoy it, I know the majority of my fellow breathen wouldn't. That's ok, we have better racers to choose from. Judging from sales, only thing that matters to us is Soul Calibur, but if that isn't online, I doubt that that would even matter.

Looks like Ridge Racer 6 in HD but with more motion blur.
Maybe there's some new shaders that make it better in motion but I fail to see how this game is much better than RR6.

The last time Namco showed screens for an upcoming PS RR they looked pretty close to the actual game, only without jaggies. I imagine this will be the same... they'll look just like that, but add in some shimmer.

This thread is beyond pathetic at this point.

And even i am moderately surprised
so - if this is a vision of what RR will look like in 4 years, why the fuck bother showing it to promote a game that's coming out at launch UNLESS this means RR8 in 4 years time?
Is this how it's going to be? Oh, we can't show you the game that's coming out in 7 months, but here's our artist impression of how much better PS3 games will look than the launch X360 titles in 4 years time .... ?

There's 2 sets of screens. Shots of the city are their test images for RR7, the other images on the page are from RR2010.
