Namco, We misses U!

Through my gaming  years with the Playstation generations, franchises like Ridge Racer and Tekken has always been the staple of each console launch. To most, their absence on this new generation is quite telling about the gaming market shift in Japan to focus onto mobile and handheld.

A few months after PS4's worldwide launch it seems eerily quiet from Bandai Namco. The Japanese household name in game development used to be a brand that was strongly associated with console gaming since Playstation (PSX/PSone), PS2 and PS3. 

Namco, please bring back my beloved Ridge Racer and Tekken. I miss you on my PS4.
