Ridge Racer Unfounded

DGP: "Watching Bugbear try to dress up the granddaddy of arcade racers in a new urban street racing outfit to conform to the crowd just feels…wrong. We have to respect our elders after all, a lesson that Bugbear do not seem to have grasped."

Please go bankrupt so other more creative Japanese studios (such as Atlus and Level 5) can get a chance to shine.

Right now, Namco and SE are saturating the market too much with their craps. Seriously, Mind Jack?

I would agree with you, aside from the fact they own the Tekken series. If Namco goes down, so does Tekken, and I DON'T want that to happen.

If Namco goes bankrupt, someone else could just buy up their studios and talent.

If Sony buys them, it'd be a great thing. Tales series could become a proper AAA JRPG series.

Ridge Racer, Tekken, etc would all have the necessary budget and direction needed to become AAA games.

I think they used 'unfounded' as a play on words, because it rhymes with the real title of the game.

On the topic of the game though, this is the first Ridge Racer title I've actually been interested in.

I've played a few of the earlier games, including the PS/arcade original but I always found them so...boring.

How ever the first two trailers have been pretty average. Bugbear can make good games though, the first two Flatout games are awesome.

Ridge Racer is my favourite arcade franchise by a long shot, I love the retro way it still handled and how it was easy to play hard to master. As long as they keep those aspects I don't mind what the polish looks like.

Namco were awesome back in the day. Great games (Tekken, Ridger Race, Time Crisis) and their sound-team were high class!

Track from Air Combat: (friggin awesome :P)

Since Criterion has allowed Crash gameplay to leak, shouldn't Namco at least provide us (anyone interested in this game) with something?

"Let Me Solo Her" Receives A Special Award From Namco Bandai For His 1000th Victory Against Malenia

Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.

Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"

Are you Okay??? The thumb is from Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

SDuck1830d ago

At least it's the right franchise

TTT is one of my all time favorite games, but I always found its soundtrack to be terrible. I'd mute the music and put my own on.
