That would be new as in 'the exact same as the movie posted last week'.

I thought you meant official screenshots...

New gameplay impressions from X05:

Ridge Racer 6 - Ridge Racer 6 was one game that failed to impress. Though I greatly enjoy Ridge Racer for the PSP, this 360 version of the game just doesn't do it for me.

The main problem is that the game just totally fails to excite. There is just no sense of speed here, when driving regularly or when using your nitro. Sure you see a flame coming out of the exhausts, and you notice your car goes faster, but there isn't any kind of blur or warp effect that really gets your adrenaline going. Seeing what games like PGR3 and Burnout do, this just seems sub par. The drifts are also ridiculous easy in the game. You can pretty much just constantly turn 180 degrees and keep on sliding.

While the graphics are decent enough, and the draw distance is impressive, this isn't exactly a game that makes you want to spend $400 on a new console. With Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Project Gotham Racing 3 coming out around the same time, it's hard to see why you would want to bother with Ridge Racer 6.

Doesn't sound good.

60fps enthusiasts may care

There’s no blur or warp? Well, there is in those screens One linked.

I don’t really think that this game is indented to sell masses in the US or even Europe, it’s probably more to do with the 360 trying to get more share of the market in Japan

I'm pretty sure there was blur in the videos too, haha.

Europe is THE place to sell racing games. It's just this thing we have, we LOVE racing and we eat racing games for breakfast.
