Ridge Racer 6 release this fall for 360's launch

the latest word on Ridge Racer 6  is that it will get released this fall,
which would make it an Xbox 360 launch game, or at least that comes out
during the "launch window" of November-December.    Ridge Racer 6 would
therefore possibly be there at the Japanese launch from day one,   like
Ridge Racer games have been traditionally for Playstation systems in the
past.

Ridge Racer 6 for 360's Launch?
Dates for We Love Katamari, SC3, and others.

Rumor mill says Microsoft's been pushing the release of Namco's Ridge Racer
6 alongside Xbox 360's launch, but until now, there's been nothing to
substantiate the speculation - now there is. Namco's distributed an updated
release calendar for their current line-up, and lo and behold, Ridge Racer
6's listed as a Fall 2005 release.
If Namco hits their target date, props to Xbox 360; it's a substantially
demoralizing blow towards PlayStation 3 and one of its 'locked up'
franchises.

The Ridge Racer franchise has been dead since the coin-ops.  Ridge
Racer 4 was a PS2 launch game, and it was dire.  Now it's a launch
title for the Xbox 1.5 MCE.  Big deal.  Losing Gran Turismo, Metal Gear
Solid or Grand Theft Auto first-release franchises would be a cause for
concern.
