Weird, IGN said that the controls were much improved in the iPad version.gkryhewy said:

I was thinking the exact same thing, but you never know, they might try it. I've seen some crazy things this generation.

Oh man, you touched a string here. I'm an uber DTR1 fan. It's not Retribution they started outsourcing with. DTR2 was being made by the original team, they even showed an awesome demo with gunfights on the roof with chopper. Namco canned it. The same team worked on an awesome DTR spin off with Grant City Anti Terrorist Unit. Namco canned it. I cry to this day on a mere thought of it
. DTR2 was outsourced and made totally different game. At first I thought it was the worst sequel but after passing half of the game I noticed it does have it's own charm, mostly due to it's crazy difficulty, but it's nothing like DTR1.Problem with Retribution was not that it was outsourced(Is there any source anymore? Lol.), but that it was heavily changed during development. At first characters and animations looked realistic, later the style changed to wacky cartoon like hybrid with deformed characters and mostly bad animation. I think it was after some test session where ppl said it was too gruesome and brutal. Who did they take for playtesting, grandmas?
Still not a bad game, I even bought the dlc wich was decent. I would give them another chance for a DTR game.Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew

Even though it looked like shit, I enjoyed the shit outta RR7.

Gave me headache, to be honest. I dont know if it was the framerate (which I read was pretty solid? maybe subconsiously it wasn't?) or just the nostalgia licking and kicking in.GreatSageEqualofHeaven said:

They are, in the sense that there's a credible touch screen option. But steering in ridge racer with a pair of digital left-right touch screen buttons is not my idea of fun.
EDIT: actually there is an analog touch steering option. Much better, though I still felt like I was fighting the controls too much.

The environments are almost completely static and lifeless, it's like driving through a still picture most of the time. Never understood why Namco never did anything about that, pretty lazyGreatSageEqualofHeaven said:

True, as good the R4 was, the PSP RR is the best. Now, R4 has probably the best tracks and soundtrack though. RR2 on PSP alleviated some of that.yurinka said:

And I'm as excite as you!
I have always wanted a Ridge Racer that doesn't sound like Ridge Racer, play like Ridge Racer or even resembles Ridge Racer.
Regarding RRT4 on PSN Store. Yes please. Still my favourite, but the PSP games are superb. I just enjoyed the career mode, and the huge amount of vehicles. Well, and the whole atmosphere was just great. It was great to feel that you belonged to a team, and I wish this kind of thing was done more often.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Been playing a lot of Flatout on 360 lately. Great track layout and fun races. I'm day zero for this.

I have little doubt this will be good. it just won't be Ridge Racer.
I'm glad you guys are excited that RR Type 4 will be coming to PSN. Everyone who's even remotely an RR fan deserves to play this classic.
As a side note, I personally enjoy playing R4 on PC at 1280x720 res. Looks better RR7.....LOL j/k
But yeah it also plays very well with my FFB wheel and the analog steering is great. I even have the shifter functions mappe to my H-gated shifter for extra realism
The announcer is so-so....doesn't grab me nearly as much as the chick from Rage. God I wish Namco would have brought her back for other installments of the series

Can't wait for R4 on PSN, I put hundreds of hours into that thing. Someone should make a topic for that badboy when it drops.
I'm still mad that RR2 PSP didn't have more Rage music in it. I want my Hurricane Hub!
Also, as much as I loved RR2, I missed R4's Grip driving option. In R4, I'd always switch to Grip when I got bored of Drift and vice-versa.

I can never pick a favorite between R4 and Rage. They are both so good. I think I like the tracks a teeny bit more in Rage.

FUCK.
I read that they were making a new one ages ago and was SUPER EXCITED. Was reading EDGE today on the ipad and I noted that it was done by the makers of FLATOUT and not the NAMCO RR team. The hardcoreness didn't add anything to it for me.
INTEREST OBLITERATED.

The open-world enviroment must surely mean they've ditched the classic ridge racer drifting mechanic though. You can't have on-rails powerslides if the game doesn't nesecarily know where you are going to go. Might be interesting to see the handling model that comes out of this. Loved flatout so I have high hopes for the feel of this game, but again, bugbear seem to favour heavier physics with lateral roll and shit, it'll be interesting to see how they approach ridge's stiff on rails style (love ridge too, not hating).

Burnout Paradise managed the powerslides well in an open enviroment, so does NFS Hot Pursuit. Allthough NFS HP has far less junctions and sharp corners.-NinjaBoiX- said:
