i'll never forget the first time i played ridge racer on PS1 on launch day

sadly i think those days are over and this will be just trading on the old name.
i hope im proven wrong

It looks like this is more destruction derby than ridge racer.

the original ridge racer was awesome on the ps1!!

That's some seriously low quality FMV. I would be embarrassed to put that out under any name let alone Namco's Ridge Racer. Good grief.

RIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!

On a serious note, does anyone really care about Ridge Racer anymore?

Nostalgic purposes yes. That said, this looks like they are trying to take it down the burnout route so it only seems to be RR by name.

Good to see Bugbear resurface, quality stuff from them with their previous.

Flatout, Rally trophy punched the studio to lofty hights. Non to sure about ridge though, if it is 'just ridge racer' as im sure namco will insist it should be, it'll be the same disapointment for most that grew tired of the games simple dynamic after the first 2 or 3 games.

Mind you if Bugbear get licence to take it to greater climbs, could be something good.
