Maybe the US launch will be better too for this one. 2 more tracks and 3 more skins! In it's current state, I would pay no more than 20 out of desperation for a good launch racer. The one everyone should be getting is Wipeout anyways. It's a shame that my inner RR love still has me looking forward to it more than Wipeout even though Wipeout thrashes it.
Same here. Love Wipeout, love Ridge Racer.
I'll get Wipeout day one.
If they don't add more content for the EU launch, I won't pay more than 20 bucks for this RR.
But well, until they reduce its price, at least in Vita we can play:
-Ridge Racer (PS1)
-Ridge Racer Revolution (PS1)
-Rage Racer (PS1)
-Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1)
-Ridge Racers (PSP)
-Ridge Racers 2 (PSP)
-WipEout (PS1)
-Wipeout 2097 / Wipeout XL (PS1)
-Wip3out (PS1)
-Wipeout Pure (PSP)
-Wipeout Pulse (PSP)
-Wipeout 2048 (Vita)
yeah. i'm glad Sony are implementing similar features. it really makes me want to carry my 3DS around.
Sony isn't implementing similar 3DS features.
In PSP there were games where you shared content though wifi with other users even without asking them. Some even generated 'gifts' from wifi devices (even if they weren't PSP), and others even if you were player SP but had the wifi turned on if someone with the game was near was able to join your match without lobby or even asking you for confirmation (just like in the old arcades).
BTW, this 'free gift' idea comes from social games, as a retention and virality feature. A user gifts game content to another, who might forgot the game. Seeing that game notification outside the game might encourage him to go back to the game. Depending on the game design (how important are these gifts in the game), the player would want more gifts, so will ask new players to join the game.
