R: Racing Evolution

  • New for Namco in the racing genre is R: Racing Evolution, which is being created by the same team that developed the critically-acclaimed Ridge Racer and MotoGP franchises.
  • The game will be available on all three console platforms and will ship in Q4 2003.
  • R: Racing Evolution will showcase 4 game modes: the Racing Life Mode, Time Attack Mode, Arcade Mode and Vs.
  • The Racing Life Mode focuses on the human-natured competitiveness of racing and gives players a cinematic story of two female racers and their rivalry.
  • Also featured in R is the "New Interactive Driver AI System" that enhances realistic racing situations.
  • The system is indicative of the pressures that drivers feel during real races.
  • Races can be won or lost depending on how a driver reacts to pressure from other racers
