Both are awesome games, however, and I've finally come to accept nitrous as part of the series.
Does RR7 have enough new content to make it worth buying? The customization intrigues me; I thought the dumbest part of 6 was that it gave you no indication of the differences between each car, I'm hoping it's more evident in 7. It's only the one new track, right? Did they add much in the way of vehicles & music? Is the game as obscenely long as World Exporer? And do you notice any difference whatsoever in the visuals? I've seen screen comparions that are supposed to make it look better, but I honestly couldn't tell.Quote:

In other news, I just played Burnout 3 for an hour and got the most intense rush of the night. That's white knuckle action right there -- literally. Ideally I'd like to finish that one before trying Revenge.
1. No, not for the price discrepancy considering you can get RR6 from around $19-$29 and RR7 costs $60. If you bought RR6 at full price, I'd be hardpressed to buy RR7. If you bought RR6 at $20, then I'd seriously consider RR7. RR7 is the version to own, but it's hard to advocate paying another $60 unless you're a huge fan. I'd do it, but I wouldn't advise someone else to.Quote:

These seem like they may be more geared towards towards online play and honestly, I have not gone online with either RR6 or RR7.
3. Not sure how many total new tracks there are but it's more than one.
4. I will have to put in more time. There is a slipstreaming meter now, though, which is fucking sweet.
5. RR7's Ridge State GP seems like it will be as drawn out as RR6's World Explorer.
6. I'm running RR7 through HDMI so that may have an effect, but it looks a little more coloful, otherwise I can't really tell much of a difference. I would lean towards saying that RR7 looks better overall, but that could just be due to the extra year of development.
I agree, the old RR's are now obsolete. I just can't go back to those visuals and the pre-nitrous gameplay.Quote:

The driving model in PGR is pretty damn arcadey, just restrained compared to stuff like Ridge Racer and Daytona.I would still recommend both R4 and RRV. I prefer R4 personally, but RRV is more demanding and stands well on its own for that. Both games are much better than RR6/7.Quote:

That's cool, you guys actually make R7 sound pretty decent. I had though that it was only the Buddha forest track that they added. I only paid $15 cdn for RR6 new, so it wouldn't be that bad buying 7 (not that I have any means to play it anyway).
RR6's soundtrack is decent, but the microtransaction songs are totally worthless. They're stored in something called the player's disc, which they forgot to give you access to in races. So you can choose a song to start a race, but if you're doing more than one you're stuck because the second race will just be from a random dics (not the player's though).
With Oblivion being delayed a month here I'm probably gonna pick it up. Six or so stages makes sense since there was about three routes on every enviroment in RR6.
And yea the setup for the micro songs was stupid but I still bough Discoball, so awesome.
