And all Namco need to do is announce Ridge Racer 8. Why does a game have to have trophies for people to consider playing them? A lot of the time trophies are just a grind for me and I rarely try and get all of them for any particular game as discussed in the article a few days ago.
Even during small bends, without drifting, your car will automatically skid itself around the corner, reducing the complexity of the game and providing racers pure high speed fun. It is a system which is easy to get into, but difficult to master.
Remember to be especially careful using Category 1 machines later on in the game, when attacking tighter tracks such as Island Circle. This especially applies when said machine is a Dynamic drift type. However, for those a little more technical, there is a challenge to the drifting. When you begin the drift, how you drift, and how you finish the drift makes all the difference in gaining a lead, maintaining a lead, and losing a lead.
Racers have 3 drift types at their disposal, allowing them to play in a more comfortable manner. These 3 drift types, Standard, Mild, and Dynamic, make a comeback once again in Ridge Racer 7 , allowing returning players to be able to pick up and play like any other Ridge Racer.
Standard drifting is, well, standard. It's the perfect balance between grip and drift. It allows you to swing it outwards when you need to, but allow you to also keep it under control throughout. Mild drifting provides more control, allowing players to relax more when attacking corners, with the sacrifice of the machine typically being a little slower. Drifting takes a teeny bit more effort with this drift type.
Dynamic drifting is for experts who know their stuff; sensitive control due to intense speeds. This creates a change in strategy as you learn the tracks and find what would be the most suitable maneuver at each turn. Some cars may fit better for different courses.
Interestingly, Dynamic machines lose more speed when drifting that Standard and Mild machines do. Nitrous in use in a Kamata RC Drifting will play a big role in the game, not just in going around hairpin corners, but also charging your nitrous. The faster you drift, the quicker the charge. So aside from learning the routes, you need to learn the best time to use NOS so that you can enter and turn and drift just as it finishes, allowing you to make use of the extra speed you gained during the boost and utilize "Ultimate Charge".
This becomes another critical play as using it too early or late can put you to a disadvantage against more prepared racers. You can also save your NOS for a double or triple shot for longer and more powerful boosts. However, keep in mind the speed loss from not using NOS on a straight can be countered by slipstreaming an opponent.
This creates a debate between using NOS in corners to plow through faster, or on the straights to run away from opponents. Slipstreaming is when you tail behind someone and use them as a shield against wind resistance, allowing you to accelerate faster, achieve a higher maximum speed, and eventually overtake the opponent.
Depending on how the opponents utilise their NOS, you may have the chance to slip behind them and build up your speed and keep up with most of their boost, allowing you to catch up to them again once their NOS runs out. As you race, you will quickly find out how essential slipstreaming can be and how it can quickly turn the tide of the battle. Graphically speaking, Ridge Racer 7 is beautiful.
Most of the game models uses high polygon counts and the game runs at a p HD resolution with fairly detailed textures. The environments are beautifully detailed with foliage, gravel, buildings and smooth roads with textures giving the world colour, depth, and life.
That having been said, both parts could use a few more touch ups as some parts of the environment are not decorated proportionally and some textures tend to lack. This was probably done as a shortcut to keep the game running at a smooth 60 fps, and is generally only noticeable during replay when you have the game view your race at various angles.
Otherwise, special effects such as lighting, reflections, particles, leaves kicking off the ground, or glass shattering in the alleyway when you blaze through it at speed all work very well. While the game does run very smooth, there will be times of frame drops both during the race and during replay. This usually involves a group of vehicles together, skidding, or possibly using NOS, and a large background view being loaded, it can cause a slight lack of responsiveness in controls as you have to adjust to the lag for the split moment.
Music is a hit or miss depending on the kind of music or beats you like. The songs are high-energy, the bass is strong, and the music is fitting for the high-adrenaline racing. One very infamous glitch with the game was when you saved after winning RSGP 13 and However, this was later patched. Another glitch is when you pause the game for the first time during a race.
