So don't fret, Ridge Racers. Think of Unbounded less as a new direction and more a sidepath, a shortcut that's being explored. And, assuming this is the first of many, let's hope the side streets down the road have better names.

I don't see why anyone would be worried about Ridge Racer taking a new direction.
It's been the same game since 1993!

Yeah, Ridge Racer PSP played exactly like the original without any additions. /sarcasm

Ridge Racer Dubstep... i need this track!

Ironic that at 0:47 she says "Nothing gets in our way" as on screen the car crashes.

Looks a lot like as if Burnout and Split Second had a baby.

Ridge Racer: Burnout Edition? Color me interested.

Is it just me or is everyone desperate to come up with a different way to say "unrestrained" every time they release a new racing game?

So the new Ridge Racer is Japan's take on Burnout?

so kind of like rage racer? no. more like burnout built by namco bandai. i'm interested, but this doesn't look like a ridge racer game at all.

Seventeen comments and still no Inception reference? I'm impressed, guys.

I demand that Kaz Hirai be the announcer for this game.

Yay, a new Burnout!

I'm a ridge racer traditionalist and don't like this new look. The clean lines or ridge racer classic is where I want to race.

@redsyrup I don't mind a spin-off for once. I'm really curious about what Bugbear made of it.
As long as Namco doesn't mess up Ridge Racer 8, or Ridge Racers 3 for NGP, I'm fine with anything in between :p
Also, new tracks are highly appreciated :)

Is unbounded even a word?

I don't want a spin off urban street racer, I want to race around ridges and powerslide to 1st place. =( NFS and Burnout have this market locked down. Just give us the Ridge Racer I've known and loved for years.

I haven't played RIdge Racer in years, but just wondering, is there driver AI these days, or are all cars still on rails?

Need For Ridge Racer Undergound: The Takedown
Posted: May 12th 2011 1:18AM (Unverified) said
I read "Unbounded" in the title and just thought it was a typo. I finish watching the trailer and realize it wasn't... I really, really hope they change that to (at least) "Unbound", or something else entirely.
But on the other hand, RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAAAACER!

"We are the unbounded" is pretty cheesy but i don't care. Bring on the rebirth of the arcade racer genre! Just (finally) picked up Hot Pursuit in a good sale so that + Dirt3 should keep me busy until this and other projects we've heard about start coming out in Q4/Q1 2012. Consider me stoked.

@MDizzy
yeah, I didn't mean for it to seem that I was calling D3 an arcade racer, just that it would be a racing game that would help me pass the time alongside NFS:HP. Badly written statement :) I've always been into rally (I own a WRX) so its the closest thing to sim-like games that I play.
I'd probably play more sims if the locales weren't tracks but then they wouldn't really be sims :p I hate racing on tracks for too long, just becomes boring to me. Guess that's why I like Dirt.

I don't want a Burnout clone, I want Ridge Racer, the original arcade drifter. Seeing this trailer really makes me sad

Woah woah woah... 'Unbounded'?
If we're truly happy with that affront to the English language then I've prepared some race chatter snippets that will fit well with this new theme.
"Haha! I beated you!"
"I winned again!"
"You came last, you losted."
"RRRIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAACERED!!"
