GodisaGeek: "The first couple of things that you’ll notice when you launch Driftopia for the first time is that there’s now a levelling system (which shouldn’t be all that surprising for people who’ve seen the free-to-play business model before) and the fact that there’re only two tracks available. These first two tracks are where you’re going to learn the rules of the game, get yourself up that leaderboard, and starting levelling up both your profile and the car that you’re choosing to race in. You’re given a single vehicle at the start of the game, and this is your pride and joy – wreck it and you either have to stop racing in it and choose another, or use some “Repair Tokens” to get it back to racing condition and start the race again, trying not to write it off again with the same silly mistake on a blind corner."
Namco have released the following stement regarding Ridge Racer Driftopia.
VVV: "Its life was ultimately shortlived, however: after an extended closed beta on PC and PS3 since September 2013, Namco has applied the brakes on the project, announcing that the servers will be shut down by August 15th. "
We are in need of a proper Ridge Racer... I must admit, I really enjoyed Unbounded.
I could accept this ridge racer if it was less destructive! all that tearing through
buildings and blowing stuff up, not my cup of tea.
Bring the original game back namco, i dying to play another ridge racer!

"This PSN Weekly sees the release of SoulCalibur II HD Online, a high definition remake of an older game in the series. Also out this week is the highly anticipated Tearaway, which I know a number of people have been looking forward to for a while now. Let’s get stuck into it, shall we?"
