Ridge Racer V Main Menu Theme/ Car Selection Theme

Created with Movie Studio Platinum

[@arcadmix]

The progression as you move through the menus to car select is just so perfect

This Ridge Racer V and SSX are what introduced me to electronic music. The music was baked into the UX. As you played the game the music interacted with you. It wasn’t just a soundtrack it was part of the experience. This game was more than racing, it was culture.

[@Nyacolson]

It is really cool that the background music changes to a more exciting and tense one as we move through the menu screen and get closer to the start of the race! Especially from 2:28 onward, it's really cool.

[@rc-dom-uk]

amazing menu design . this is how you get your audience hyped about racing a game . man i miss the ridge racer .

[@borghome]

Actually this isn't the menu. I made this by fading images behind the start screen

[@titicaca.]

He means the main menu where this music plays, not your image.

[@cyndicorinne]

This music made me enjoy my PS2 all the much more back then.

2:28 car select

[@agirityoki624]

When you arrive in the concessionary to buy your first car, this starts banging 2:28

[@olevet75]

I love this, we need to implement this to real game rom.. feels very assetto corsa like

[@arekkusurenaado]

Anybody know if there is video of the menus, how the branched and unfolded, etc. Was a really thoughtfully designed game.

@@raymondgibbs5327 I think he’s talking about the designs for the game modes and how they moved (free run, 99 trial, Grand Prix, etc)

@@whyamihere5835 this is my brain on Ridge Racer V - "Yeah, her"

[@whyamihere5835]

@@raymondgibbs5327 yeah i remember staying on that screen when I was little partially because I thought she was hot and also because I wanted to remember what pose went with what color I can’t remember if it’s random or not I haven’t played since I beat the max gp last year with the mercurio, which I think is hotter than the girl now (not to say she isn’t hot but my tastes have changed and also the mercurio is one fine looking car)

[@SeazonHDx]

That's it that's nostalgia right there

[@N1sm0NIC]

See I knew I wasn't tripping in that the game has a echo effect going

[@hannibalbacalao9013]

[@rc-dom-uk]

[@Danjakkju]

[@jojijoestar7233]

At least they know what’s up

[@RyansGamerShack]

Shame game devs stop giving a fuck about unique sound design and presentation. Everything is sterile asf now.

[@BeyondJackieP]

The music sounds like from Big Hero 6
