RR7, not only a visual downgrade but also now gimped!

Riiiiiddddgggeeee Raaaaccceeerrr: Nub Edition!!!

A year later, on a supposedly more powerful machine and Namco can' t even improve on the 360 version of Ridge Racer because of the sucky hardware. Not only can they not improve upon it but they also had to remove parts of the scenery and reduce the texture quality.

And to think that both versions run at 1080p too...

Cry Sony fanboys, you' re console officially sucks muchos ass!

I might just break RR6 out again actually!

I might just break RR6 out again actually!

but then you should reconsider..... RRRRRRRIDGGE RACERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

I don' t think it' s a major diffrance, but it seems as 360 looks abit better. The colors on the 360 looks a little to much though.

The 360 version looks more natural... better lighting, more filled in enviroments, the 360' s trees look a hell of a lot better, The textures for the most part look better on the 360 too, however the rock texture on the 360' s version looks pathetic.

Guys... This is Kikizo... Can we wait until the console comes out??

Yes sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but in this situation it is fitting as the
company concerned deserves nothing more senior.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

WTF ?? a picture like this might not have much significance at all, should look to the whole game to judge, ps3 does lookbetter than the 360 version, this have been said in many many previews

and check out this:

you' re dissing all the impressions those major websites had before, and you' re basing everything on a single article in a pathetic website?

RR7 is native 1080p while the 360 is upscaled.

And to think that both versions run at 1080p too...

Reading the attempts at " damage control" by some of the posters at that site is the funniest part to me, lol.. Ridge Racer 7 is a launch title on complex gaming hardware, it' s no surprise that a launch title on that unit might not look as good as one from another powerful but easier to program unit!

BlimBlim says the 360 version is nicer and so the 360 version MUST be nicer. Don' t agree?! Fine, but you' re living in denial!

Ah, but they also had an additional year remember. Did you pick up the 360 version?!

What makes me laugh is that they' ve managed to make RR6 and RR7 look like exactly the same game! They haven' t changed a single thing over the last year! (Except for making the graphics worse ofc)

Every Ridge racer game has been a disgrace to whatever platform they' re on so who cares which version looks better? Neither the RR6 or RR7 is scratching the potential of each console. They both look like shit.

Ridge Racer " Type 4" was awesome. The series has gone downhill since the PSone days though.

Yeah, Type 4 was superb.

I never owned a PS1...

Thing what pisses me off with this new generation (mostly 360 fans) is that they love wanking over high res screenshots.. show your average 360 fan a high res screenshot with added AA and HDR and they go crazy over it..


Its funny how people can make up two screenshot to compare, yet it is so clear and obivious that the Ps3 version looks a whole lot nicer in motion.. thats what matters most, how the games run, not how they look when paused while your on the toilet.

Yes Xboxyde is just the case of 360 fanboys wanking over a screenshot.

Blim gave me a warning once for posting that i enjoyed playing my DS more than my 360.

Then i got banned for LoL at a Halo thread which had 14 FOURTEEN PAGES of wankstains over 1.. ONE screenshot of Halo 3. lolollolol.

I posted something like " lol, 14 pages over 1 screenshot!? WTF?" ..

Got banned.. because i never praised the screenshot more or less.

So the guys complaining about RR7 stuttering in 1080p are lying?!

Dont critisize the almighty sony!

im going to Japan tha day after tomorrow so then im gonna take a good look at RR7, ahorita estoy en Mexico visitando a mis abuelos, hahaha, so far what i have seen of RR7 looks better than RR6 but a few days from today im gonna have the game rigth in front of me and then ill judge, its also kind of important that RR7 runs 60fps/1080p native, something many praise to be impossible, one way or the other RR7 its gonna sell a hole lot more than RR6.

Praise be Allah!

RR7 its gonna sell a hole lot more than RR6.

Yeah because 360 has PGR3, PS3 has HD GT. It' s all relative.

Im really suprized Namco isnt making a Wii RR..

Hopefully they will. I' d love to see what they can do with the Wiimote too, especially after seeing how well Excite Truck handles!

Worst motion blur ever? Someone needs to tell Namco that motion blur and underwater vision are not the same thing.

It' s not at all impossible, want me to load up Q3? hell i show you the game running in 120fps at that resolution

Ok, i admit it, RR7 looks great...







...NOT!!!

What a fucking mess. Not only have they removed some of the scenery and lowered the resolution of some of the textures (although they have increased the detsil and resolution of some of them too), and not only does the game suffer slowdown when running in 1080p, but it' s also gimped and fucks up like this.

Superior version?! I think not.

But isn' t 1080p a higher number than 720p?? Isn' t 7 a higher number
than 6?

Isn' t 8 (one dormant) a higher number than 3 (unified)?

Of course RR7 looks great!

Dude! That last screen looks like the ultimate racing experience!!! It' s the ultimate motion blur! I feel like I' m ripping through time just looking at that screen!

Bottom shot is definetly the best - where are these screenies from - dev stage wise?

The track appears to be barrierless and the sheep are perfectly formed - surely this is a *insert nationality here* mans' dream!

I think because its the PS3 version the sheep will be more expensive too, and possibly expect you to wine and dine them first...

Hah. It could be just due to Namco sucking at developing for the PS3, but those look like artifacting issues to me - usually caused by overheating components.

If it was artifacting in a traditional sense then Id expect to see some distortion on the HUD too - unless this is a specifically localised issue relating to a specific part of the GPU? Regardless, not good for a retail title - I am shocked! Would make sense thought if it was a display unit.

Well that last shot its just pathetic, the hole game seems to be very good since RR7 got a 8' 2/10 from IGN whitch its alot better than the 7/10 RR6 got.

BTW according to the developer RR7 its the RR whit the most cars and tracks in the series

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/745/745959p1.aspx
http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/761/761304.aspx

Actually, it' s kinda unfair to be like, comparing PS3 vs. 360 via proxy, like this. Ridge Racer ISN' T exactly the best franchise to go about it...

...anyway, this just reminds me of 360' s teething problems in beginning as well. Funky PDZ physics away!

PS: Gotta love the bottom shot. Think you can drive around like that? Get under the rival cars and all that!

Well that last shot its just pathetic, the hole game seems to be very good since RR7 got a 8' 2/10 from IGN whitch its alot better than the 7/10 RR6 got.

Of course it got a 7 on ign, it was going up against project gotham 3, ridge racer is a piece of shit next to gotham, but here, it is the only racer for the ps3

Well that last shot its just pathetic, the hole game seems to be very good since RR7 got a 8' 2/10 from IGN whitch its alot better than the 7/10 RR6 got.

Of course IGN gave it an 8, the key word is IGN. Sony could shit in a game case, send it to IGN and tell them to put it in their ps3 and they would think it deserved a 9.5
