MINE!

 

[op_ivy]

I can't see Bizarre happy over that one =/

i'm sure they are much more worried about nfs:mw's sales then ridge racer

great news though, game must be very far along. cant wait to see real media

 

[Funky Papa]

Oh, that'll be soon. I just hope that Isamu founds his sedatives by the time :lol

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I can't see Bizarre happy over that one =/

PGR3 will be fine and take some of the pressure off of PD0 if it isn't there in stellar quality. A bonafide system seller.

 

[u_neek]

So, Ridge Racer 6 and PGR3 @ launch?

That's hot [/Paris Hilton]

 

[johnjohnson]

No Tales of Rebirth for PS2 and no Tales of Eternia for PSP

Also I'd love to get a new Ridge Racer on the PSP as well. The one on the Xbox 360 is a sure buy.

 

[sangreal]

That is like the 50th racing game in the launch window for 360. They are all going to be outsold by NFS:MW anyways..

 

[Miburou]

Wasn't ToE shown at E3, complete with English text?

And Namco needs to show some screenshots for RR6 already. Fall means 2-5 months from now.

 

[Lil' Dice]

So, RR6 releases in the fall and we still haven't seen any media?

MS must have an airtight NDA with every one of their developers...

 

[VerTiGo]

That is like the 50th racing game in the launch window for 360. They are all going to be outsold by NFS:MW anyways..

I don't think so. I'm sure MGS will make PGR3 their headlining Xbox 360 game.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Yup, I shall get them all except Test Drive. No matter how the game looks, at the end of the day, it's still Test Drive

 

[Patrick Klepek]

Holding back on RR6 at the summit was a purposeful move, IMO. Seems increasingly likely we'll see a playable at TGS.

I think X05 is when they plan to blow the roof off in terms of everything they have been hiding up to that point.

 

[Gek54]

Yup, I shall get them all except Test Drive. No matter how the game looks, at the end of the day, it's still Test Drive

Except its not the same developer as the previous Test Drives. Eden is known to put out quality racing games.

 

[PhatSaqs]

I really hope FCK turns out well.

 

[Stinkles]

Gack.

After Ridge Racers PSP, I am sorely tempted to get RR6 instead of PGR.


They both offer the same kind of fun to me, but I prefer RR's fakey handling. But then I prefer Gotham's real cars...


oh TEH NOES!!!1

 

[Chittagong]

MS must have an airtight NDA with every one of their developers...

:lol every console manufacturer has an NDA with their partners

 

[drohne]

xbox 360 LAUNCH GET

i wasn't considering pgr3 anyway, but now i'm not considering it for great justice.

 

[Solid]

* Frame City Killer - Fall
* Ridge Racer 6 - Fall

two bombs and namco comes crawling back to sony.

 

[SantaC]

Solution: get both

 

[thorns]

pgr3, nfs:mw, test drive, rr6, full auto

some of these should be delayed if they're not gonna bomb. with competing releases like this rr6, test drive and full auto will most likely bomb

 

[dark10x]

Man, I hope so. I have yet to find "the game" that will make the 360 worth it this Fall. I'm buying the machine regardless, but I wanted something really exciting for the system. RR6 will be that game.

 

[Tain]

Didn't know Namco was publishing Rebelstar.

 

[jarrod]

two bombs and namco comes crawling back to sony.

I bet RR 360 ousells RR PSP.

 

[sonycowboy]

So, Ridge Racer 6 and PGR3 @ launch?

That's hot [/Paris Hilton]

Smells like a 360 exclusive to me. Who wants a 6-12 month old port to launch a system? (Cue Quake 3, DOA2: Hardcore, Unreal Tournament for PS2 )

If it was going to be released Fall 2006, I would say it was definitely multiplatform.

Nice grab by Microsoft.

 

[AB 101]

Well, I have now officially become a hardcore 360 whore.

Racers are my favorite type of game and it looks like I will be well served come the holidays.

 

[Blimblim]

Wow, after the Xbox Summit I was not expecting RR6 to be a launch title anymore. Very cool stuff.
AB 101: Xbox 360 looks more and more like an arcadish racer wet dream. PGR3, RR6, Test Drive, NFS. Wow.

 

[Stinkles]

Solution: get both

I aints no trillionaire. And there's no way I am getting two racing games on the same day.

 

[DarienA]

I'd sure like to see Urban Reign or Capcom's beat em up end up on the PSP.... and RR6 at X360 launch means X360 purchase +1.

 

[sonycowboy]

I bet RR 360 ousells RR PSP.

That's an extremely dangerous bet. I expect it to be largely ignored in the US and for the system to not have that big of a launch in Japan.

a 50/50 proposition at best

pgr3, nfs:mw, test drive, rr6, full auto

some of these should be delayed if they're not gonna bomb. with competing releases like this rr6, test drive and full auto will most likely bomb

I agree, although we know that Microsoft is calling the "launch window" a period of 3-4 months, but no publisher is going to want to be on the backside, so that gets tricky.

 

[Red Blaster]

I'm still wondering how the fuck Sony lost RR, what a bunch of fucking dumbasses to loose a trademark franchise like that.

microtransactions.

 

[DarienA]

Methinks possibly a deal was struck to shuffle some licenses and get an exclusive on another...

 

[dark10x]

I bet RR 360 ousells RR PSP.

That seems likely to me...

Then again, the "XBOX crowd" doesn't seem like the RR types. The average XBOX fan seems to be about Tom Clancy, football, and car games. Unfortunately, RR is not the type of car game they like (see: Outrun 2).

PGR3 and NFS will both likely crush RR in the sales department.

 

[Gek54]

microtransactions.

Speaking of, Codemasters just sent me a survey about microtransactions.

 

[Red Blaster]

MassiveAttack eluded towards the idea that it's actually not exclusive, though after this announcement, I doubt he's right. Not to mention our good ol' Johnny Nighttrain said it was PS3 exclusive :lol

 

[Solid]

for the industry. for the gamecu.. i mean xbox 360. you know the rest. expect superior versions on ps3 :lol

 

[Lo-Volt]

Good for Microsoft. By the time I get a 360, it'll be available used.

 

[sangreal]

MassiveAttack eluded towards the idea that it's actually not exclusive, though after this announcement, I doubt he's right.

He also said it wasn't Ridge Racer 6. You win some, you lose some

I think YellowAce also said it wasn't exclusive, but I could be mistaken

at the very least, it would appear to be a timed exclusive (in that the PS3 won't be released)

well nfs and pgr 3 will definately sell.. pgr 3 will probably continue to sell 1-2+ million quite easily over its lifetime being the trademark racing game for the console, pgr 2 had extremely long legs at least..
rr6 japan should be there for launch but it doesn't seem that wise to have it in US launch to me.. the same goes for test drive. i know that i will get pgr3 instead and i don't need to buy 5 racing games at launch. I will rpobably just buy CoD2 and PGR3 and maybe Fifa if it doesn't suck at launch and then work my way up from there..

 

[BuckRobotron]

Well, up against the esteemed and MSFT-produced PGR3 and the potent popularity of NFS (and this new Most Wanted is looking great), RR6 is likely to be more of a side-dish on Xbox 360.

But it should sell well within that expectation. It'll be my next racer after PGR3 for the system, or maybe right next to it if they really do release at the same time.

Seriously, 'cause they're totally fucking with tradition here. When I buy a Sony console, I get an RR title to go with it. Period. It has to be that way, or else I'm going to punch Kutaragi in the nose.

 

[Elios83]

You actually believe that?
Wait till RR6 Extreme Reiko Edition for PS3 in Spring 2006,with all the contents that won't make in the Xbox360 version because of the tight schedule.

 

[Flo_Evans]

screw RR, where is the next gen ace combat going? Next gen Ace combat = instant console purchase (for me at least )

 

[Doom_Bringer]

screw RR, where is the next gen ace combat going? Next gen Ace combat = instant console purchase (for me at least )

damn right!

 

[sangreal]

is Tokyo Xtreme Racer a launch title in Japan?

 

[Any1]

Anyone know how big RR is in Japan?
