Ridge Racer 7 is pretty good
« on: January 08, 2007, 10:51:26 AM »
Have not been spending much time with RR7.  I turned it on a few times just to get annoyed at playing the same tracks from RR6 - the rumble and custom soundtrack, but today I gave it another chance.

The new tracks are pretty nice and have a unique visual flare not fount in the RR6 tracks (one features a cool jungle motif).

Give it a try if you own a PS3, not like you have anything else to play ;)

Yeah it's a good game...it's just that it's Ridge Racer 6.5 instead of really being 7.  Plus I hate how you can't chat during online races.

I got Tekken 5 DR, Motorstorm "beta," Armored Core 4, and I still need to DL Gripshift.  Seems like enough to me.  :D

Tekken 5 DR is awesome, wish it had the story mode of the PSP version (would give DoA4 a run for it's money).

Don't bother with GripShift, total crap especially since you already have the best downloadable game ever (Tekken).

How is the new AC?  I hear it uses the Chrome Hounds engine, should be pretty sweet.

Gripshift on PSP seemed pretty cool, so I want to try out the PS3 version.

Haven't played much AC4 (for the past few weeks I've barely even turned my PS3 on let alone played anything), but it seems okay.  I like how fast it moves. 

Here's something fun: The other day I was at an electronics store with my girlfriend.  There's a guy playing Resistance on the PS3 kiosk while his wife and kid watch him.  My girlfriend asks me if I have that game.  I say "Yeah, but they censored it here!" (Then in Japanese:) "There's no violence!  No blood!  Why does Japan do this?  It's so DUMB!"  The guy playing turns around and gives me this weird look as I'm walking away.   :lol

Nah Ridge Racer on PSP is only old tracks from previous games and one level of nitrous to use, not multiple like in 6 and 7.

What's dumb is that Ridge Racers 2 PSP didn't add in the multi-nitrous from RR6.  You want to talk about REHASH, that game is the real "1.5," with even the menus and save files looking exactly the same as the original.

believe it or not, this game supports the Driving Force Pro wheel w/ full force feedback.  makes you roll an eye to why GT:HD has zero support for the wheel.   it's too weird playing RR7 with a wheel anyway, too fast of a game that needs twitch reflexes on a standard controller.  i beat RR6 and am playing RR7 although they're practically the same game.  i guess the presentation and customization makes up for it.  can't help it, im a ridge racer fanboy.

I set the announcer volume at 0% in the 360 version.
