Confusion reigns supreme today as speculation as to the future of the Ridge Racer series reached pandemic proportions.
Hot on gossip that Ridge Racer 6, a true sequel in the series as opposed the R: Racing Evolution side-step that recently bombed on Japanese launch, comes fresh information from the Japanese patent office.
According to a patent application filed in October 2003, a new game in the R: Racing series is also planned, carrying the name R: Racing Rivals.
All is cloudy at the moment. Expect rays of truth-revealing news flavoured sunshine to displace the gossip murk in the coming days.
