Ridge Racers 2 ( Crinale - Angelus & Ne Plus Ultra )

[FieraDevilWings]

Oh, and RR3D has something that RRs2 doesn't - ANGL Concept and Crinale in their updated for RR7 forms! That's the only real plus considering why you'd choose RRs2 over RR3D.

Though, to be fair, we got the New Rally-X while you got the Danver Hijack which replaced the NRX from the previous RRs, converted to a regular Dynamic machine in RR3D.

And it's still the fastest beast in the game.

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings even if it has X)

since the game is better in many ways & it has awesome cars & a big collection of classic OST - same atmosphere & circuits insane Graphics then it's satisfaction to me ^_^

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - Do you know what we have that you don't?

One of the most broken and easy-to-handle vehicles ever in the RR series, the Kamata RC410. RR7 goodness also graces RR3D with Mist Falls and perhaps its most popular of musics, such as Orbital Rock and Combustion.

That's one thing that we have over you guys, updated tracks, decals and of course the latest of machines (I used nothing but the RC410 once I get to Category 3, honestly, it's that good with insane acceleration plus speed)

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings ok good ^^

keep it up ^^

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - All we hope now is that we can see the return of Soldat Meltfire and Raggio (Face of both RRs games) which got replaced by Lucky&WILD's Wisdom (previously a Lizard machine in Type 4), Eruption and Evolver (the face of RR3D) respectively in functio). Heck, let's see a true duel with them in the next game (Vita) - perhaps I'll get one and you will too, and then we'll race it out with those vehicles (You'd better hope you get good with Dynamic machines).

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings i think angelus kid & crinale kid are fastest to be honest XD

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - Perhaps you're thinking due to the acceleration?

I'd want to get this game for the Yamasa Raggio, to be honest. Fastest car of the entire game!

Ever used/unlocked it?

You know, the Honda NSX that got turned into the iconic machine of the PSP games?

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings i've already cleared the game 2 times from scratch XD

i tried yamasa raggio - to me angel kid & crinale kid are fastest XD

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - You must like good control then. The only equivalent I can see in RR3D is the New Rally-X coming from the original RR on PSP, but not even that is accurate as the drifting mechanics is not at all like a Dynamic machine (which I assume is what the Yamasa is).

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings to be honest nope <:) , not because of that X)

my favorite machine in this game is EO cause it got best control & below it straight is Esperanza ^^

about yamasa it's not that i don't use it cause of control it's about speed that i said angel & crinale kid are fastest ^_^

to me yamasa is like any normal machine , but to me the most difficult to control is hijack X)

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - ...Huh. Looks like I might have to test that out sometime.

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

that was some mean power sliding

[aliultimate009]

@xDTHECHEMISTx in battles there is no mercy X)

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

@aliultimate009

haha groovey ;)

[FieraDevilWings]

By the way, what's your favourite cameo for machine skins (such as the RT Solvalou skin invading one of the later Class machines, in RR3D it's a skin for the Kamata RC410 while the Kamata Fiera got RT Ryukyu (Category 4), Pac Racing Club and the original and best F/A Racing (Category 2) skin!)

If you didn't know about them, look out for them - there's bound to be four machines with R4 team skins on them (like Micro Mouse Mappy)!

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings the best custom RR game in everything from tail wing to the car front bumper is RR7 :3

below it straight are those 3 games ( RR4 - RR6 & RR2 PSP ) ^_^

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings sorry if i was a little aggressive or very direct X)

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - Nah, it's ok.

And I'd say that it is epic in customisation, have to agree with that comment for RR7.

I'd say that RR3D made a return to roots of sorts, having four categories and various machines for use with differing speeds, mirroring that of the PSX original with 13 (15 in Revolution) cars with differing stats and four speeds to choose from (those would later become upgraded performance cars, such as the Type-Z being second-highest to the more recent Type-EX)

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings i see X)

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - Technically RR3D is almost a mash of RRs2 and RR7, in terms of the mechanics used for Nitrous (special kits + Ultimate Charge) and for the return of many tracks in the series (like RRs2), though there's actually a new one in there (Silver Mountain Skyway) which is damn cool! EX Revolution Road, though...

I also like RR3D because it uses the current models of many vehicles from RR7, such as the RC410 (awesome acceleration) and of course ANGL Concept and Crinale.

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings i'm surprised that you're very directing in it like a real cars X)

anyway it's a fantasy game for enjoying racing with high speed drifts - nitro - cars shapes & that's what Ridge Racer -is- awesomely ^^

[FieraDevilWings]

May I ask, what's your favourite cars in the Special Category machines, as well as your favourite regular machines to use? Also, can I ask if you've played Ridge Racer 3D yet? It's awesome as hell and Lucky&WILD Motors are essentially the replacement of Soldat if you're used to using that. But not entirely, of course - the Devil still remains in it as the Soldat Crinale!

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings to me i like Angelus & Crinale in their own ways ^^

Hijack as a special machine in this game is best to be in because it's presence is epic due it's unique aura ^^

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings it's also epic in RR6 but in RR7 it's aura sadly was lost after they've added bass cruiser ( of course they're from same factory Danver ) while i prefer hijack to be replaced on the bass cruiser since it gives the feelings of powerful monster machines ^^

Wild Gang is ... i think it'll be funny but as a fast easy to drive micro car is cute ^^

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - You know about the age solo PETIT500, right? Also known as the Angelus/Crinale Kid.

Smallest and lightest car of the series.

And btw, in RR3D the HJ6000 (as the Hijack is now known as) is a freaking REGULAR vehicle from Category 3 onwards, and the fastest normal machine in the game.

As for your comments of RR3D, some of the RRs2 music made it in (though the Euphoria track in 3D is actually that of Rave Racer's, not RRV's) while more classic music was put for Disc 4, 5 and 6.

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings still RR3D is a descent game sadly <:)

even my cousins who've loved RR series had found it not that good no matter what they do in it <:)

in each ridge racer game as an epic game ... if it lakes any of the most important originality of this series ( atmosphere - epic OSTs like most game 95 or 90% of each game OSTs - the epic selection of cars & the best gameplay ) it'll not be classified as a true RR game <:)

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - I guess that you people don't seem to have been that excited for playing what they had available, though I certainly enjoy it (it's probably the lack of online that turns them off).

Epic selection of cars, perhaps this game might not have as much as other recent ones but you've got a brand new selection of 3 cars in RR3D from the new manufacturer Lucky&WILD - Their cars are the Wisdom, Eruption and Evolver (essentially they replace Soldat in a sense)

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings about RR3D nope didn't played it but saw the gameplay , but to be honest it's an RR game which lost the original fantasy & atmosphere that the RR series had <:)

hope it won't sound harsh but it's atmosphere is like NFS games which made me frustrated to know why did they made it in that style ?

anyway so if i wanted to match this one & RR3D - i pick RR2 with my eyes close since this game by itself is a mix of all classic RR games in a new style ^^

-Correction for some words-

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - You can practically say those last few words for any game in the series. After all, most (if not all) include the original track.

Why do you think it's lost all its atmosphere, by the way? I personally think it's a very vibrant and bright one (that's the advantage that the graphics in 3D have over s2).

Also, battle of two Dynamic vehicles: Soldat Raggio and Lucky&WILD Evolver. You're probably going to go for the more sporty-looking one, aren't you?

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings if the graphics were good then i wouldn't notice it acts like a sega dreamcast graphics to be honest <:)

about the cars i didn't notice a really high potential in their looks as RR2 did before <:) , if you bought the game & played them both at the same time you'll see the difference that i'm trying hardly to mention it here <:)

about the atmosphere i mean on how pure - mild - glittering - rainbow colors - lights & shadows that RR2 did from mixing best scenes of old RR games <:)

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - Perhaps the point I was trying to get across is that it's a lot brighter on the 3DS, at least to me from what I've seen of both versions mentioned.

And by the way, Dreamcast graphics were good! Just look at Daytona USA 2001 (...probably a better example would be a fighting game)

As for the vehicle point, it's not all about their looks. Could you give me data on the Soldat Raggio's speeds in the fastest Class/Category/whatever? I'll compare them with the Evolver's.

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings well i don't mind to give info while i didn't gave a good notice in these but in RR games they can make any car fastest X)

but i'll search for the info ^^

actually ,what i meant by potential is by giving you the feel that it is a fast car without thinking X)

anyway if it's in opinions i respect people opinions because if it's what they feel deep inside then i can't deny as much as i do to myself X)

i'll see about the info ^^

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - I propose that you go and perhaps try it a bit, with the 3D enabled Nitrous effects are really something (it gives off an afterimage effect which looks like a 3D error, actually, that's the funny thing)

I like the signature machine of RR3D because it's a direction that Namco haven't explored that much in the past, the only other muscle manufacturer being Danver.

With Lucky&WILD's Evolver it looks like absolute bulk, but that's true for the Danver Hijack/HJ6000 as well.

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings lately due to the easily showed ways on how the game goes just by watching it i've made up my mind about it <:)

please understand me X)

i can't change my mind cause i've seen how interesting RR2 did enough to made me realize the big difference between it and RR3D <:)

about the incoming RR in PSV that one should hopefully get the feelings that i enjoyed in old RR games specially from RR4 to RR7 X)

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - It's a bit like the 3DS, you gotta see it to believe it.

Though you're probably right, the only reason being the framerate - it can lag a bit at times and it's half that of the RRs games on PSP, only because of how much processing power is being input to the 3DS - it has to project two screens for each eye, even more if the afterimages during Nitrous count.

PSVita will not disappoint, I'm sure. I would get one for that game, especially for the new Kamata SYNCi revealed.

[meganico98]

@FieraDevilWings even if it has 3 tracks and 5 cars? well, soon there are more cars and tracks to come, but you got to pay for them!

[FieraDevilWings]

@meganico98 - Where did you read that paid DLC had come to Ridge Racer for the Vita? Namco have not done stuff like this before and they certainly won't start now given how long the series has gone without NEEDING it!

[meganico98]

@FieraDevilWings maybe i think Namco meant UPDATES, mah! XD

[FieraDevilWings]

@meganico98 - Uh...ever heard of a NEWS update?

These "updates" that you think are completely DLC are not that at all...Update =/= Downloadable Content announcement. Excuse me sir but the use of the word "update" in this case is to inform the people of what is new, what has been added, what has been updated.

Do you play a lot of Capcom fighting games? That might be where you're gathering this from.

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings also since they've used the Classic best OSTs + some awesome remixes from it which made it a truly pure Ridge Racer game to cover the whole classic RRs by making them pushed to the limits ^^

[FieraDevilWings]

@aliultimate009 - Again, some of the RRs2 music made it in RR3D (such as Rage Racer Remix, LOVE that tune) and some classic tunes not seen in RRs onwards also makes it in (Rave Racer's Euphoria being one), and of course we have 3 discs of 5 tracks full of new music (15 pieces of music in total new). Perhaps even the SP Disc has four new tunes (and like the rest it's unlocked alongside Pac-Man) as well as "Run, Pac-Man, Run!"

[aliultimate009]

@FieraDevilWings it'll be epic if they've added total new ground breaking OSTs like RR6 did before X)

[EmoDKTsuchiya]

I love how this game has the RR5 boss cars. That was my fav RR!

[evilmudkip73]

ok, where do i get the hack?

[aliultimate009]

@evilmudkip73 not sure where but you can search in youtube for videos to help you or google because i wasn't the one who added the hack in my psp X)

[evilmudkip73]

can the game work on my american psp?

[aliultimate009]

@evilmudkip73 not sure but you can get a hacked update version for your psp which should work all games X)

[evilmudkip73]

why was this game never released in USA?

[aliultimate009]

@evilmudkip73 sadly to me it's unknown <:)

[evilmudkip73]

@aliultimate009 at least we got ridge racer 7 which is decent

[aliultimate009]

@evilmudkip73 the version i used is Europe X)

to me this one & RR6 are best yet ^^

RR7 is only best in atmosphere & Gameplay <:)

RR6 is good in everything but only the atmosphere :)

but this one - is good in everything to be honest ^^

[RedSchiz]

Haven't seen this game in the U.S.....is it only a EU/JP release? :(

[aliultimate009]

@RedSchiz as i know i THINK yes only EU & JPN <:)

[thegrisha]

Damn that was intense . I'm stuck at the devil and that purple little car. Can you give some tips on that like what car to use etc.

[aliultimate009]

@thegrisha Glad to know it thanks ^^

if it's about the purple car -Wild Gang- it's all about those 2 tricks ^^

do your best on taking the hard turns to cut it at fastest safe speed ^^

about the high jump in it's course try to slowdown a little for not to hit the walls after the jump to keep your speed good ^^

hope it helps ^^

[thegrisha]

@aliultimate009 Actually i'm stuck at round 2 , round 1 was much easier for me.Thanks for the help

[aliultimate009]

@thegrisha good luck on it ^^

you're welcome anytime ^^

[ValisHD]

10:25 O_O SWEETNESS!

[aliultimate009]

@ValisHD it just worked out that way luckily XD
