Broken Silence for Ridge Racer 7

According to Bandai Namco (Namco Bandai in the States) the next Japanese PS3 title you'll likely be hearing about is Ridge Racer 7. The first PS3 entry in the big time publisher's hit arcade driving series will see an information rush later this week (courtesy of the game's official Japanese website). Check out the page for yourself here for the "teaser" flash animation.

As many of you probably remember, Ridge Racer 7 was officially announced during the build up to E3 this past spring... but all Namco Bandai managed to bring to the show was a trailer showcasing conceptual footage. The timing of this announcement suggests that we may get some hands-on time at the Tokyo Game Show, which kicks off on September 22.

Check back later this week for more details on what's expected to be one of the PS3's biggest first generation titles.
