I love you.

BTW, they're streamed vids, so take off the "http://" bit and start the addy with "mms://".

And use SDP to download them.

oh

Consider it repayed.

Looks good, very smooth. The only problem I have with it is the 3rd person camera, it seems to be too tight to the car, other than that it looks promising.

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: I keep replaying that 360 spin in the third vid.

[gravity0]

So smooooth. It looks superb.

And they've finally made a 3rd person view that actually works.

The Rave Racer track is just the best circuit in any racing game. Ever.

[Blitter]

The videos look fantastic and it looks like a joy to play. That 3rd vid reminded me of the spin challeneges I'd do in the original, was anyone else doing that (you to take each corner with a 360, it works especially great on the first 'S' bend)? And I hope that thing where you can build up speed though a powerslide is still there, was that some sort of glitch?

[DeDeDe]

I must admit that those video clips are rather impressive... but what happened to the commentator's voice? When he exclaims classic Ridge Racer lines such as "It's the final stretch --floor it!" he sounds like a parody of all past voice-overs in the previous games....

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: I think it's an afro-american voice-over this time. I don't care though. As long as there IS commentary it's a job well done.

[nomore29]

I love it.

I'm gonna look like a complete idiot playing this on the train when i'm weaving through those corners.

indeed, but at least he aint strider from Crash FM eh! Was a little concerned about nitous but it looks like it fits well and the invert 360 is truelly a good sign that the original RR series handeling is intact... frankly it looks amazing it could be the best RR game ever! And hopefully will rekindle the brand. Definately the most impressive PSP game so far.

Cheers

This may be a hackned launch strategy, but Ridge Racer has sold me on the PSP. I have it on pre-order. Can't wait.

Same here, I have been suckered in.

Only ever 3 cars on screen you say? All the polygons gone into the car models you say? Will look crap in 1st person you say?

I don't care! Gimme!

wierd I click on that first link using Mozilla and the M&M's website pops up

[hobo]

[Landshead]

[Daanos]

No work. If I click on them I end up at the M&Ms site?

[Landshead]

Working now,

Must have! Must have! (to infinity ..)

.::: Is there any confirmation that there are more than three tracks btw? Not that I'd mind, but I can hear the nay sayers-brigade sharpening their knives already.

[Hodge]

The game has been confirmed of having 24 tracks. Only 3 have been named upto yet though.

[futureshock]

Gotta use IE for the links.

Like the video - sooo, smooth and fast. I'm a little concerned that I had no idea of where the road was turning at any point though - very blurry. But I'm assuming that's the fault of the video compression rather than the game.

In this day and age most gamers demand multiple tracks but I remember a time when 3 tracks did suffice, Sega Rally and Daytona on the Saturn springing to mind...

However the more the better with Ridge Racers. Let's hope they include the day/night cycle from the first game. Liked that bit a lot..........
