Ridge Racer 6 - Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility Gameplay 

You’d be surprised man. The Xbox 360 (or pretty much that console generation) was way ahead of it’s time. I was amazed of how this game (RR6) looked back when it was first released!

I'd still say Ridge Racer 7 looks far better, but yes this game's graphics have aged fairly well.

@@Magnulast I have 6 and 7, they are virtually identical except the 360 has better colours and lighting. PS3 benefits from rendering at 1080p though. Also the field of view is slightly better in 7, the car is slightly smaller which helps playability.

@@FullNietzsche There is more detailed backgrounds in ridge racer 7. And the colors are far better and vibrant.(very close to the PSVITA ridge racer) I don't like 6's mute color looks.And as a result it looks depressing in comparison to 7.

@@Magnulast I love both 6 and 7 (and other Ridge Racer games too), but I'd give the edge to the PS3 version (RR7) because of the resolution bump, the extra tracks, more music added (some via DLC), Xevious intro game (a nice change from Pac-Man), and the best reason, IMO, is that it got full on stereoscopic 3D support, and looks amazing when played on a nice 3D display (if you can still find one! hehe).

Same here. I wish Namco/Bandai would get their act together and resurrect the proper Ridge Racer again. It went out on a sour note with the bare bones Vita game. I loved the PSP version however (Ridge Racer 2).

There is fantastic RR 7 on PS3. However, this chapter of the great racing saga is also very good (maybe slightly worse than RR7) and I am more than happy that I can play it now on my Xbox One.

Exactly my feeling. I was a PS guy from PS1 to Vita, the PS4 never got proper back-compat so it never clicked for me. PS5 doesn't seem to be improving in that area, so mine collects dust while my PS3 and XSX get all the love. PlayStation is a zombie brand.

@@FFFan3445 The PS4 literally wasn't powerful enough to be backwards compatible with PS3 games. Now the PS5 is backwards compatible with all but 6 PS4 games (for legal reasons, although I think those were all shovelware.) And even if you don't like playstation, you can't pretend it's a zombie brand when the PS5 had Sony's most successful console launch ever. Obviously that's just because of scalpers, but for some reason it was more newsworthy than Xbox scalpers (I know Xbox demand is a lot lower than playstation, but I don't know if that affects scalper demand.)

@@hitpeppens2932 This is merely going off with Sony said. Sony said that it's the most successful launch. Sure they all went to scalpers, but a sale's a sale, whether it goes to a scalper or not.

@@MrGamelover23 PS4 is slightly more powerful than an Xbox One, so why wouldn't it be powerful enough to run PS3 emulation if Sony had wanted it to. Power isn't the problem, it's the lack of will from Sony to do it.

I just wish those kinds of improvements were possible with PC versions and not just emulating consoles.

A lot of people didn't notice at the time of the game's release because there weren't a lot of 1080p screens at the time, but Ridge Racer doesn't actually run at 720p when outputting to modern tvs and monitors. It natively runs higher at 1440x810. Your point still stands of course, but just something to note. It also depends on whether the method they use would work on the game without breaking it. If a back compat game isn't enhanced in some way, it's usually because the methods they use to enhance somehow broke the game.

Just start a new game.

I agree but what we really need is another blur or PGR5

It's painful there won't be another RR game for next-gen consoles.

Unbounded was amazing, just a shame it was only 30fps

@@liammeech3702 Damn. However, maybe there's a 60fps patch out there.

RR as well brotha

does your disc let you play it? also have you downloaded the dlc before and are able to redownload them from your account?

@@geraldlecar0s never downloaded the dlc before but yes the disc let's me play it.

@@aacob2 oh ok great. unlucky for you about the dlc though 😔 i think they start downloading as you install from the disc if you own. lucky me i just downloaded all of them while i was a kid lmao

@@geraldlecar0s oh that's super lucky! And yeah since you own it you can download it easy

You should be able to download the dlc. I downloaded the DLC for Dirt 3 through the backwards compatibility.

you can play it on PS6

Yea dude what's up with that

@@homersams9015 apparently due to licensing, which is fucked up cause this game was announced for BC worldwide and its only purchasable in the US :/

@@geraldlecar0s did you read it in the Internet ?

@@southsidetherealest2860i did

Looks like you need a physical disc for any other regions outside of US.

Thanks for the reply I ended up getting a physical disk shortly after I made this comment@@DriverGear

Because its a 360 game

@@yesmate78 What? Backwards compatible 360 games still have achievements on the Xbox Series. It emulates the whole 360 console system, not just the game.

It has been removed from the store

No only Gamepass games are on xcloud unfortunately

@@The_Death_Owl This is so sad.

not Aust either :(

Try Canada. It's there

Picked it up from the us store. My save won’t transfer that’s pretty shit. Seem like im going to have to complete it again from scratch.

@@broadcastmonkey how can u play it after u pick it up in the us store? I have always go back to the us region to play it :/

@@13Carrey1 play it as normal, i have to make sure my region is set to US but thats it. after i have finished playing it, i change back to the UK region
