[@RobotJadul]

I never realized that the album art shows that the entire reason of why the cars were racing in the game's cover is cause they were fighting for a parking spot

[@theorangewithglasses]

I like that

[@krakentortoise7531]

Pretty simplistic but cool cover. Speaks volumes

[@CSEabdulalimkhan]

You just need to add that one tiny unnecessary detail to make everyone think that the game was indeed, made by humans who actually liked making games and enjoyed the development and reviews of their games.

[@squadupbaby167]

Yeah they definitely snapped with this art, 100%

[@shamus4527]

I think your right with racing for a spot it probably symbolises the race for a space to move to the next section of the races

[@TheToqueWearer]

I love this song because it implies that Ridge Racer is some legendary racing entity that just shows up. Especially after winning with the French team, it fits perfectly.

[@stormiestcampfire]

The Ridge Racer is the racer’s version of the pilot’s Razgriz from the same universe.

[@melancholypuppy3595]

I won with every team what do I need to do next?

[@derellshackleford7649]

16 years after discovering this game's soundtrack and it still stands the test of time. Despite Ridge Racer V's rock-heavy influence, I feel like this jazz, d&b, house, and hip hop incorporations in R4 is still the series' boldest soundtrack direction and the payoff is literally legendary.

[@chrismccall797]

[@SaviourV]

Thanks so much, Kimara Lovelace, for lending your voice to this wonderful soundtrack. ❤

[@nitramsk8]

I like how it’s all in house music. A lot of games don’t go through the same effort and just take pre existing music.

[@SnicketySlice]

I've only seen EA sports games and maybe GTA do that. Most games still have original music.

[@Yungtacosss]

Well, that's how it used to be for the longest time. Nowadays original music barely shows up in games unless it's a copy-pasted cinematic score with Inception horns thrown in for good measure.

[@junglerider165]

Oldschool NFS has good in house-composed electronic bangers too, I think it's comparable with Ridge Racer in terms of musical quality

[@Senthain]

What the fuck did you mean by this

[@skunthundler]

@@Senthain I think he wanted to circlejerk the past or something, like a majority of games still don't use original music.

[@anarki4717]

I remember playing the final race over and over and over just to hear this song and see the head/tail lights of the cars Fantastic song and a fantastic racing game even if i wasn't that good at it
