Before Gran Turismo->ke3689 and Forza Motorsport->ke3733 established themselves as the pre-eminent auto racing games in the world, that title belonged to Namco Bandai's Ridge Racer.

The upcoming Ridge Racer title, Unbounded, hopes to re-establish the franchise as a significant player in the racing game market. And judging by the trailers Namco Bandai has released, it looks like they're about to give, not just Gran Turismo and Forza a run for its money, but they've set their sights on Need For Speed->ke3700 too.

The trailer video features hardcore racing at its finest combined with heaps of destruction derby added to it. Let's see...high-octane racing...explosives...track customizations; sounds like a recipe for a great video game to us.

Even better for interested gamers is that if anybody pre-orders the game, they will receive the limited 'Day One Edition' for free, which now includes bonus cars and paint jobs for customization.

Check out the video trailer of Ridge Racer Unbounded after and we're for certain that you'll be dying to get a copy of the game too.
