Hornet in Ridge Racer

They've missed an opportunity

Also this is kind-of the arcade racing fan's equivalent to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Pretty interesting stuff.

 

Cool music bro. :v:


Now they just need to get the Hornet in the next Mario Kart arcade. And in the next Sonic. And Sonic in Mario Kart.

 

They should've did VF x Tekken and have Hornet as a secret fighter. It happened once before...

edit: well, except that vf x tekken wouldn't work, because the vf crew would dominate those juggling clowns.

 

That's actually really cool. It's just too bad that the game itself costs way too much.

 

well, if the price ever gets low enough I have a reason to pick this up :3

 

That low poly model looks really out of place in a 2012 Vita game. I like it!

 

Sega and Namco have been pretty much the fiercest arcade rivals, and their catalogs are basically mirror images of each other. I'd love to see a full, proper cross over between the two companies (no, Capcom X Namco X Sega doesn't count).

EDIT: Back in 1994, seeing this would have been almost as mind blowing as seeing Sonic and Mario in a game together.

 

Haha I love how it's the exact model from the original game/Sega Racing Classic, right down to the low poly wheels.

A lot of unexpected crossovers of Sega franchises in other companies work lately, what with Virtua Fighter characters in DOA and now this. This can only be a good thing for Sega at this point. Still want some kind of Daytona reference in all-stars racing transformed though, like a updated race course with remixed music.

This and JSR are making it hard to resist a Vita. Still too pricey for me but may be tempted down the line.

 

Don't forget Sonic in the progressive auto insurance commercial, and then Sonic in the Nike ad.

 

I'd love this if it weren't on a system I have no current interest in obtaining. Always nice to see the Hornet getting publicity.

 

Those who say they'd buy this if they had a Playstation Vita: think of Ridge Racer Vita as one of those free-to-play games where you can get most of the content through micro-transactions, except you first have to pay 25 bucks to play the free content. Without the DLC the game only has three tracks and five cars.

 

Something seems really off about the music in the trailer. I mean, in Daytona the singer seemed much more...passionate than in the song in the trailer. Regardless, I think its great that the Hornet is finally getting more attention. Now all I'll need is a Transformed version of the Hornet, and I'm all set.

 

Even better

I expect to see Sonic everywhere though, not so much Sega's other franchises.

 

Uh, if you buy the game and every DLC out for it, it totals out to $45, which is less than a normal retail game.
