Ridge Racer Unbounded coming 2012 to PC's

AWPC · 5 Feb 2011 at 07:10

First time ever we will see a Ridge Racer game on PC. Only a well rendered CGI movie so far but sure the PC version will look amazing. Same developers as the Flatout series as well......so you can guess its a Ridge Racer/Flatout smash-em-up hybrid!!!!

Mmm, wondered what Bugbear were upto.

Should be worth keeping an eye on.

The destructible surroundings element could be interesting if it is something in the game.

Looking good, I love ridge racer back in the day....also loved flatout 2uc.....so really hope this is good....

I used to love ridge racer will be interesting to try it on PC.

Glad to hear it - the RR series is long overdue another episode.

I'm putting my money down on this being 2012s worst named game.

Shame Ridge Racer has been dross for a decade now.

It's actually nice to see the PC getting so many console games these days. Even if they are console games, it's better than having none at all.

Bugbear did a good job with the Flatout franchise.

Oh I'm not making any predictions about the game itself, just the naming. Unbounded? Does it sound ridiculous to anyone else?

SkeeterUK · 5 Feb 2011 at 13:11

If they make it like the ps 1 game ah actually i think im thinking of rage racer.

Damn i miss that game, would be awesome on pc in HD.

About ridge racer, hmm vid looked too modern style car and ramming cars and being ok, hmm duno that just looks stupid imo.

Hopefully an old skool pc driving game like rage racer will appear, kick ass music and sound effects with good but nothing uber cars then ill be well lookin forward to it.

But if that what were getting from vid kinda then its not lookin too good.

Yeah, it sounds awful.

It should have been Ridge Racer Unbound if anything.

riiiiiiidge raaaaaaaaacer!

I think thats the worst teaser trailer I've ever seen

stooeh · 5 Feb 2011 at 14:23

Loved the original RR on PS1. Finally beating the 'devil car' to unlock it was such a 'YEEEESSSSSS!!!' moment back in the day. The loading screen galaxian(?) game to unlock some other cars was pretty nifty too.

Quite like Rage Racer too so hoping it will turn out to be fun...

manbearpig · 5 Feb 2011 at 14:32

That trailer was terrible.

Crixus00 · 5 Feb 2011 at 14:51

I really enjoyed the original all those years ago. Will def get this if it makes it to market.

Gin0rm0 · 5 Feb 2011 at 15:49

Used to love ridge racer on the PS2, gotta be the most arcadey race game out there.

Gimpymoo · 13 Nov 2011 at 16:07

Just found out about this.

I agree that the name is a little pap, will be keeping an eye on this though for sure.

As mentioned, the Flatout series was great so here is hoping Bugbear can step up again

This may not be Ridge Racer any more for old school fans, but from what I played of it during the Eurogamer Expo, I actually liked it. Glad to see a PC version and if done right, should run and look much better.
