This charge has a two-fold effect.Īnd the cars? Powerful, strong, fast and - as typical of the RR universe - entirely fictional. Whereas long drifts and jumps before would charge boost, here they charge Destruction Power. Jostling and scraping body paint is normal form for any Ridge Racer,but there's a more aggressive edge to Unbounded. It's a dirty race where victory is achieved through any and all available means. Laakso plays Crash Race, which is RRU's central mode. However certain ones will only be opened through special in-game events. In that way there's something of the Burnout in Unbounded, as fortune and glory favours the brave and bold to uncover those hidden parts of the course. The splintered racing lines through each track are only there if you find them. 'Shatter Bay has its own character, full of secrets and alternate routes that you need to expose to win,' says Laakso. The motor maniacs, led by Kara Shindo, are looking for the best drivers around Shatter Bay - a fictional cityscape that draws upon East Coast cities such as New York and Chicago for inspiration. Offline, we're in familiar racing story territory as beginners entering the Unbounded. Laakso just shrugs his shoulders and smiles the smile of a man who knows all yet doesn't have to say a thing. After spotting police cars as we blast through a tunnel, we ask whether this could mean a Hot Pursuit-style hunt and escape mode, either offline or on. But unfortunately even today's reveal is scrimping on details, and we're left pondering if the real juicy stuff won't be revealed until E3 in a few weeks time. The game offers a solo campaign and an online mode, with eight players fighting for victory.
