I heard the tracks take place during real historical events during Feudal Japan

I dont know why anyone would buy this knowing it only has like 4 cars and 3 tracks. The only way this approach would be quite good is if the game in its current form was free, and you then paid for the cars and tracks you actually wanted.

Noo! You can't judge it until it's out! It will have more tracks! Oh, it doesn't? The original Ridge Racer on PSX didn't! /excuses

This game is ridiculous. Shame on Scamco.

Did anyone notice how there was some random Asian babe in the background in the menus, what does that have to do with racing!?
Well anyway...
I won't be buying the PS Vita but hopefully half of this DLC will be free and Polished to perfection when released.

It's also a car thing. Cars and babes have always gone together. Look at your average tuner mag.

Tbh, the way they've released it is really silly, but then the actual price for the game is considerably cheaper than the rest although to get the full game it would likely cost as much or more than other vita games.

That's Reiko, shes been a part of the Ridge series as far back as Rage Racer(Ridge Racer 3) on the PSone.

I bought it and received my vita last week. Uncharted is amazing, the ps vita itself is a wonderfull piece of machine. Ridge Racer is a hudge disappointement though. Apart from the silly 3 (old from previous games) tracks, it's also not running very smooth. When a lot happens on screen at the same time, it tends to stutter a bit. Can strongly recommend not to buy it.

As an old school RR fan, the very fact that I have heard repeatedly that this one does not run at 60fps, already had me convinced against ever buying this game

Then reports came in like what romeolives was saying, that it could barely run 30fps adequately, and would drop frames constantly. A not perfect game gets even worse.

Then I heard about all the tracks/vehicles being recycled assets from RR6 and RR7, and it had me wondering why buy this when I already had RR7 for my PS3.

Finally heard about there only being 5 cars and 3 tracks, and I am thinking, what is this, the PSV pack-in?

Scamco has done some shitty releases in the Ridge Racer series over the years, but I have to admit, this is quite possible the worst. Scamco has really allowed this once great series, which I loved so much at one point, that I even bought the original in an arcade cabinet (used, of course. I'm not rich or anything), to what it is today, a game that I would not even 'buy' if they gave it away for free. And the best Scamco can think to make the series seem fresh again, is throw out everything that ever made RR fun and exciting, and create a Burnout inspired reboot in the form of the sad and pathetic looking RR:Unbounded.

In reality, perhaps the only thing Scamco needs to bring Ridge Racer back to it's former glory, is the same old school "inspiration" that got them to make Ridge Racer in the first place . . . SEGA making a brand new arcade Daytona.

Maybe its you who does not watch ANY Racing events on TV to know anything about that little subject...

In Europe... in Touring Car, Formula 1 and pretty much almost ALL types of racing they always have some barely 18 to 25 year old hot chick (READ NOT FAT) prancing around in a bikini or wearing skimpy outfits during the racing events and presenting or just hanging around the winners at the end of the race ceremony.

Naturally Japan copied this element and if you watch Japanese racing events during presentations there are chances you will see the same.

Ridge Racer (the original Arcade game and later the PSX version) features a girl presenting the start of the race, although its a 2d sprite and the girl has become a mascot of sorts of Ridge Racer ever since Reiko.

I'm sure if you watch NASCAR racing events you will see the same thing, of course you have to actually watch the WHOLE racing event of better yet BE THERE because most of the time they will not show the girls specially if they are in bikinis on TV.

Also if you had any clue about cars, there are idiots out there that constantly sell magazines with custom cars, be them American Muscle cars, road bikes, speed bikes, import cars, exotic cars, etc almost ALWAYS with some hot chick wearing either a skimpy outfit, daisy dukes shorts aka hot pants or bikinis sometimes they wear thongs and they basically usually put the girl in front of the car or lying on top or leaning on the car like as if she had anything to do with the racing or engineering or history of the car...

Basically those women have nothing to do with the cars but its better to have them there than some Fabio looking dude saying "I can't believe its not butter!"

Manthatyoufear, it's selling roughly for 15 quid compared to the 25-30+ for other titles. Still 15 quid is piss poor value for money for what they're giving us, and like mentioned before you basically buy the bits of the game you want slowly equally as much as a full title anyway. Heard rumours though that at this moment in time it's just music and other lame things. Feel sorry for any sucker that falls into this, I even enjoyed the 3DS version :\

I was talking about REAL WORLD RACING and CAR MAGAZINES (you know those things made out of dead trees) not videogames hence the references to how it would inspire someone.

I really have to wonder what some people's exposure to racing is really like, videogames for the most part and specially including sims will not find it usefull to render some girl that really has nothing to do with the sport other than just be there as eye candy...

The again I do wonder... I can make a referrence to how hot women have nothing to do with Videogame Expos... but somehow I am willing to bet you never heard of the term "booth-babe"

when a handheld game is the same price as a fully fledged console game, I will judge them equally, and 15 notes for this, it will be judged the same as a 15 note game of a console.. so lets compare this to say trine? *looks at trine demo* yeah.. way more fun.

If you want to let a game off for something merely because its on a handheld that's fine, while your at it carry on enjoying those shit little games on the ipod..

and on a side note, my lad has a ridge racer demo on his psp it has 2 tracks and 2 cars.

Great message man RR Type 4 was the last REAL game in the series I still have it too.
