Namco released these quite small images of Ridge Racer 6, which actually are the first official screenshots from the game. The game seems to at the ready for an december Xbox 360 launch release.
hi can anybody explain me why (in the first pic) there is a small pacman game running.. does this have anything to do with the gameplay?? and how good is this ridge racer series? i never played it and i'm not sure wether buying rr6 or pgr3..
The Pacman animation plays in the corner when it's telling you information about the race (lap time, which position you need to advance to the next race, etc.). Same with the PSP one (though I think that was Rally X).
if a game is designed to run at 30fps then it won't look so slow or bad at that speed. it's not like you're running a pc game at 30fps or something. besides, PGR2 didn't look or play choppy/slow. not that much anyway.
Just looked at the available footage for RR6 and PGR3 again. I guess the main difference is that PGR3 took photos and scans to rather easily recreate existing cities and cars while RR6 has tracks which are fully designed from the ground up for maximum playability. Ofcourse that means PGR3 has nicer graphics, I just think that when comparing the playability RR6 might win due to better track design. London or Las Vegas weren't built to be a fun racing tracks. I'm not sure how much playability I want to sacrifice for nicer graphics in regards to my decision which of the two to buy.
i think the screens look really good.
if there wasn´t pgr3, i would get this instead.
what i don´t like is the fact that there seems to be no good sense of speed.

Commented on 2005-10-08 02:49:29You know why? Because this game is running at 60fps. I rather have speed.
