Ridge Racer Unbound Announced

Namco has announced the latest entry in the Ridge Racer series with Ridge Racer Unbound. This is the first Ridge Racer game available on the Xbox 360 since Ridge Racer V which was a launch title all the way back in 2005. The game is being published by Namco Bandai and is in development at Bugbear Entertainment.

The trailer features the familiar "Ridge Racer Girl" driving her silver sports car through a gritty cityscape. She exits the car and takes the wheel of a sleeker red and black automobile. She proceeds to drive through an alleyway on to a public street toppling over passing cars.

Could this mean that Unbound is heading in to a new direction. Perhaps we will see fully populated cities with destructible opponents and environments. I think it would be a neat change of pass for the series if they took a que from Burnout Paradise and included an open ended design with multiple paths. Closed off courses are so 2006!

What do you think of the reveal trailer for Ridge Racer Unbound? Let us know in the comments.
