this just means F U to Ridge Racer fans who played the game since 1994, I hate it, it makes me so angry that they did this. crashes really, car flipping?? wtf, if anything I will buy it to set the disc on fire and burn the ashes so it never comes back.

Wait, so you are mad that cars are able to crash in a racing game? How did RR do it in the past? Speed bursts and bonus points when you should have crashed? A racing game without any form of crashing or penalty would seem VERY outdated in this day and age.
Not trying to be an ass, but what (other than the crashes) set this apart from RR? I never played the games, but they looked like pretty straight forward arcade racers like this, just minus the crashing...

Crashing in Ridge Racer carries a hefty penalty of slowing down. RR is all about pure speed, cornering and drifting, things this game seems to lack all of that in favor of a more accessible burnout feel. It's not made by the people behind other RR games, so it's to be expected. Hope it bombs hard enough for them to never consider another RR game similarly, but not enough for them to drop the series altogether.
The RR game being made for PSV looks interesting though.
its from the people who made flatout, but as its been pointed out RR has always been about speed and drifting plus if you think its so easy why dont you try the achievement on RR6 on the 360 where you have to complete everything without crashing or touching any other oponents, thats every race, event and time trial, see its not so simple now when you think about it plus we need an even balance between arcade racers and sim racers, youve got GT5 on ps3 and forza3/4 on 360 thats the sims covered now where are the arcade racers ???, one thing i know for sure is that bugbear know what their doing so just wait and see the later builds of this game before you judge it.
