Namco Bandai is being generous for an instance, and will bundle a gold pass with every new copy of Ridge Racer Vita for a limited amount time.

It will only be available till March 31 and after that you have to shell out €6.99. Hey, I did mentioned it was limited!

The DLC will enable access to five new cars, three new tracks and a couple of new songs. Katamari and Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen, will also feature post-DLC support.

You will also get a demo to try them out. The Vita launches on February 22nd in the western countries and PAL territories.

We know that Ridge Racer for Vita does not contain much content, and we also know that it is priced very cheaply, but the one thing that we don’t know is the DLC contents for the game. Oh yeah, we know have more information on it.

The game contains 3 tracks and 5 cars, so what is Namco doing to beef up the content? This.

The publisher is planning weekly downloadable content which includes cars and additional tracks. The first DLC will be released on February 23, and could contain one car, which is priced at $2.50 *cough*.

March will feature March three cars and two courses, and the coming months will see some more content.

We will keep you updated on more news, so stay tuned to GB.

Namco has released a new gameplay video for their upcoming PS Vita title, Ridge Racer, and it looks great. While most of us know the series as something that provides with somewhat realistic gameplay, Ridge Racer PS Vita is all about speed. The sense of speed in the video look great, the car models look nice, and the visuals are quite sharp.

Thankfully, there’s enough of the old stuff here for fans of the series to return. The traditional drift and run gameplay is still here.

Ridge Racer PS Vita is a launch title for the PS Vita, and releases on February 22 next year. Stay tuned for more updates.

We have some interesting news for you. Ridge Racer Vita is supposed to be a launch title, but it seems like Namco has skimped on the content a lot. Most Ridge Racer games run at 60 fps, and that has always been a defining thing for the series, but for the Vita it will run in 30 fps.

We don’t know whether they didn’t have any time to optimize it or not, as the project began in May 2011. Most fans in forums such as Neogaf and others have expressed disappointment due to this and it doesn’t look like Namco will change it to 60 fps in a short time.

The game also contains only 5 cars and 3 tracks, which is well… odd. The tracks are –  Harborline 765, Highland Cliffs and Southbay Docks. They are also planning some DLC for the game.
