Namco Bandai Announces Ridge Racer Unbounded for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in 2012
by Steve Watts, Feb 04, 2011 11:30am PSTNamco Bandai showed off its current crop of games at yesterday's IGNITE event, including Ridge Racer Unbounded. Attendees of the press event saw the CG trailer yesterday, but now it's been unbounded for the masses to enjoy.
The street-racing game is set for the Windows PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, and the video gives a vague 2012 release window. The press release promises that this game will "shake up the genre" with an emphasis on destruction. Other racing games may bind their destruction, but Ridge Racer went and unbounded it.
We have our own theories on why Namco Bandai chose this name, mostly revolving around a thesaurus. But "unbound" would've worked fine as a substitute for "unleashed," so why they made it "unbounded" is beyond our ability to explain.

+1 for PC
"We should have a chubby looking car, and it gets into this corridor, and a girl comes out and walks weird because she's a girl, and she gets into some smoke, and then she comes out of the smoke, and then she gets into another can and smashes a taxi because FUCK TAXIS"
Yeah. But anyway, isn't Bugbear the developer of Flatout? That could mean good things for this title, also pleased to see a PC release announced, that must be a first for Namco.

Then again, what their aiming at is perhaps a subgenre that was busy beating each other up late last spring: Split Second and Blur.
