The road surface looks pretty nice.
Instead of New Rally X in PSP Ridge Racer, it has Pacman.

Hoho! You know, even though PGR is much more detailed I think I like RR more. It's very fluid and smooth too. Anyone, else feel kinda calm watching it? Just me? I dunno what it is exactly, but I really like how it looks the art feels nice.

Yeah, some reports suggest all other Xbox 360 games playable at TGS are staggering at low framerate, only RR6 is at rock-solid 60fps.

If that's the case it's looking to be a real tight launch for MS. Better than last time, but still. I wonder why RR is running so much better than the rest? Maybe NAMCO's a lot more adept than I imagine -- I'm thinking of Frame City. Maybe they're not pushing the Xbox360 that hard... the game looks really nice, but I don't think it's really pushing things all that hard. Kinda funny that I prefer this over PGR.

Anyway, is everyone able to connect? I'll mirror it on filefront if it's a real issue.

I suspect most of them are old / safe builds. The final kits are just in...

MS better get moving at X05.

Namco has studio(s?) outside Japan too, I think that "Dead To Rights" game was made by an US studio, only published by Namco.
I wouldn't be surprised if Frame City Killer was another such title, developed by some external studio, published by Namco.

Design is nice. Physics are crap. A real arcade racer without much depth.

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

aww, but it's lots of fun. :3

Bah im bored with the RR series, the best one ever was RR4, specialy the soundtrack, sweet eletronic chilling & adrenalin melodys with at least some decent story on it. Good old playstation days...

This one looks like a highres in 720p of the RRV from PS2 dull punk/rock music with over-exagerated "coolness" sense of voice acting.
Static environments, not even a dynamic shadow is added on the car, just the usual soft static rectangular shadow under it... hey NAMCO! Add some dynamic weather for the sake of progress.
Not to mention some people watching the race in the city environment or some traffic on nearby roads...
Disapoiting if the game hits the shelfs with just what was shown in the movie.

It's obviously being hacked to get 60 FPS btw.

Only one car and there is no shadow casting on the car at the moment.

Hacked?! I think you mean tweaked... Don't think a developer would be hacking his own game

 

[pipo]

Well, I was wrong on the shadows anyway... Something happens when the car is in the shadow, but it's either not finished or far too subtle for my taste (FWIW).

Apart from that, it looks nice.
