Zo verscheen er gisteren opeens uit het niets drie nieuwtjes van Ridge Racer Unbounded. De eerste was het nieuws dat de game in Amerika (hier in Europa staat hij nog steeds voor 30 maart) vertraging heeft opgelopen. Het tweede was een setje nieuwe screens, die waarschijnlijk als goedmakertje diende, en tot slot is er meer bekend over de muziek die oa door Skrillex word gemaakt.

Licensed music on Ridge Racer Unbounded comes from recent GRAMMY Award-winning dubstep producer Skrillex, with the tracks 'Kill Everybody' and 'Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites', plus US electronica duo The Crystal Method and drum & bass collaborators Noisia & The Upbeats. Other additions to the sonic soundscape come from Scratch Perverts, Unknown Error, OVERSEER and newcomers RuN RiOT and Ever Never.

Keeping one wheel firmly in the musical heritage of Ridge Racer, the game features a selection of tracks by Hiroshi Okubo from throughout the 18 year history of the series, starting with the very first Ridge Racer right up to Ridge Racer 7. To complete the game's auditory assault, Hiroshi Okubo and his team at Namco Bandai Games Inc in Japan have created a number of completely original tracks for Ridge Racer Unbounded, destined to keep the sonic fires of Ridge Racer burning brighter than ever.

Namco Bandai Games confirmed Ridge Racer Unbounded will be released in North America later in 2012 to give the development team some additional time to pack the disc with features that will truly make the game sing. Namco Bandai Games will be making an announcement shortly outlining the new release date, pre-order incentives and a full list of features that will excite fans of the series.
