Man this series always had the best music. Namco needs to bring it back!

[@ProphitDesigns]

The jump from Rage Racer to Type 4 is insane. Crazy how one sequel on the same platform can just make such a huge leap in fidelity and art direction. The menus in Type 4 still look modern to this day.

[@J0rdan912]

Too bad it's pretty much stopped there. Just finished replaying Type 4 again and I can say it was a peak, it's all downhill from there except graphics. Unbounded was kinda cool step in different direction, but honestly nobody care about that game on release, Namco completely missed their "big mainstream racing game" train. The only thing they can do now is reboot it with some kind of mid-2000s NFS or Burnout 100% arcadey style, too many karting and "serious" racing games out there.

[@zack95]

Graphism GAO was insane however rage racer had a tuning and customization part that no other game in this series will ever have. Plus rage racer was the last game we're you could adopt different type of driving. After rage racer, you HAD to drift in almost every single curve. My favorite is stole ridge racer revolution. I'm looking forward to play it again.

[@dat619soulja]

I thought the same

[@TofuTehSurvivor]

@@J0rdan912 The market is ripe. Fusion and City Pop is on an upswing to a point that it has some mainstream appeal. They need to lean hard back into R4 and go in on more Y2K/Jazz aesthetic. People would eat that shit up. Even a remake of R4R would be better than nothing. It happened with Klonoa.

[@J0rdan912]

@@TofuTehSurvivor Basically just something that will not attempt to compete with very serious and realistic racing games. Something with pure fun, arcade gameplay, boatload of nitro boosting and drifting, without falling to some kinda mobile trash. Genre is stuck at mediocre rally, NFS/Burnout and Forza/Gran Turismo games. I tried some small indie racing games recently like Horizon Turbo and Hotshot Racing (highly recommend btw), and it was amazing, if new Ridge Racer or Rage Racer was something like that, but bigger and better, that's totally fine.

[@jujubear9909]

Gran Turismo was my first PS1 car racing game and played it a lot with my cousins, but it was Ridge Race Type4 that made me really appreciate racing games. That game was fresh af.

[@kevinvandorst]

Ridge Racer 6 and the 2 PSP games were amazing!! Bring this series back!

[@seansteve6355]

Almost cried watching this reminds me of my late father

[@Maximo_makesvideos]

Damn bro

[@QF_Dan72]

I miss Ridge Racer. Namco needs to bring it back

[@galavizK]

i really want a ridge racer unbounded remaster

[@Glopezane]

I've been playing RR2 on my G Cloud and it is glorious. Took my PS3 out of storage and started playing RR7 again. I will never get tired/bored of this series.

[@apie74]

Sad ending with the mobile platform versions.

[@Blaze1990sp]

Ridge Racer slipstream with so much fucking phone on the phone I'm so sad there is just no way to play them anymore

[@AniketMohan]

None is better than Ridge Racer Type 4

[@whyamihere5835]

RRV gives it a run for its money in my opinion less content sure, but god damn I’ve squeezed a lot more time into that content then type 4

[@kauandesu6440]

Ridge racer 4,5,6 and 7 is better

[@SexMoneyDrugzTillTheNextLife]

Overrated

[@CosmicDisturbance]

Music-wise, I’d have to agree with Type 4

[@kauandesu6440]

None is better than ps2 and ps3 games

[@ratedr8156]

Ridge racer 64 always my favorite

[@Kangroe]

This is awesome man, thank you.

[@Giga_Pumkin]

i used to play this legendary game on 360 and PSP good old times :D

[@SavageBro.]

Ridge Racer 2 is the best

[@LoveXKnife]

They should bring back Ridge Racer but with the R4 vibe

[@TofuTehSurvivor]

Know any devs? Let's just make a new R4.

[@setimo8]

I thought Ridge Racert Type 4 was really beautiful when it was released and the songs were great too! We had never seen anything like it before and having lived through that time was great! To this day, I sometimes play Ridge Ricer from the PSP, but on my cell phone via an emulator.

[@oscarestivencarabalyherrer1279]

Happy birthday for Ridge Racer series! 30th anniversary

[@Vishan24]

By far the best in the series were the PSP versions, specifically Ridge Racer 2. Oh how I remember struggling against the Kamata Angelus special car boss race... But once you win that car, it was such a satisfying feeling. And fun fact, Reiko Nagase the animated girl who appears in most RRs has a sister named Kei Nagase who features in the Ace Combat series.

[@byrondavies1846]

Such a shame that the PS4 and PS5 have been released and there have been no launch titles with them. Would have loved RR8

[@takeshi_tohyama7047]

Unbonded foi de longe o melhor da franquia pra mim.

[@SomeRandomGuy369]

ridge racer 2 psp version is on Ps4 and ps5 store for 10 bucks and plays without psp.

[@yamilishernandez7670]

Its a shame Namco decided to send this series to the iOS realm, after rage racer, every game was a blockbuster imho, until unbounded...

[@mhnoni]

That ending is very sad, when you realize how phones destroyed the fun of the games. even though its way more powerful than old consoles but the gameplay became so childish.

[@dvl.xgaming]

i missed the slipstream one. and never had a chance to play ridge racer 6 n 7

[@alisalimi8365]

We need the Pc version of R4.

[@silvaromeroluisdaniel221]

Its so mad than R4 is theorically the sixth game, the most knowed and than the series end in iOS ):

[@tougedriftman492]

i will download ridge racer 2011 on my ps vita

[@OPPAI560]

Let play

[@sungjin008]

Namco without Ridge Racer = Team Sacred Treasures without Chizuru

[@luckovyishen3530]

6:26 the best

[@sririneuXx]

nope.

[@takeshi_tohyama7047]

​@@sririneuXx It is by far the best and most fun to play.

[@sririneuXx]

@@takeshi_tohyama7047 i don't like Unbounded at all. it changes all that "90s arcade-style racing game" and changes into a Burnout wannabe.

[@sririneuXx]

@@takeshi_tohyama7047 If you want a good ridge racer, try playing rigde racer psp or ridge racer 7.

[@sririneuXx]

@@takeshi_tohyama7047 But.. i'm not saying that Unbounded is a HORRIBLE game. It has it's goods points, i just prefer more the olds games that Unbounded. (this is just my opnion, also, i respect yours)

[@ScorpionVermelho3134]

Queria saber pq falam tão bem dos jogos ridge racer pra ps1 se nenhum presta Need 4, GT2 e VP são muito melhores

[@nicholassilfanus4954]

This is over time

[@mrjoemikeymercado8197]

I'm great FaN of ridge racer, games,, before,, initial D,, & Wangan midnight maximum tune,, arcade games,, & I love that game so much, on pC gameS,,,😆😀😄

[@anzdes219]

The more they put in graphics the more they remove from gameplay... don’t get it...

[@TuriGamer]

Man the graphics are all over the place hahaha

[@0Imtheslime0]

didnt knew this series lasted all the way to 2016.. Thought it died in the PS1 era.

[@TheDaifalteur]

PSP one is great (best game of this console imo). 7 on PS3 was nice to play too

[@RuntyRaven-sz2im]

Fun fact Ridge racer is on Java too

[@TheDailyMrRuiz]

Thank you. It’s featured in this video.

[@ivandrogaspardasilva2824]

Jogo da Namco é jogo de boa qualidade!

[@goobermcboogerballs1420]

One thing that I learned from the video is that you suck at ridge racer lol brought me back to the arcades and wasting quarters away with the same driving skills.

[@ghostmarine1520]

Series died after unbounded lol

[@buzzard3983]

No, the series started dying after unbounded, it died in RR 2016

[@redtornado6741]

The series at its peak was R4

[@rommebernardcutamora]

Evolution Of Manny Pacquiao In Games Video Pls.

[@MusicaFullbuster]

I don’t know which Bandai Namco game franchise is overused and keeps on making now that Ridge Racer is dead.

[@user-lj4vl4rp5e]

this is game reture to come back make up

[@DomSki_]

good games, bad driving but good editing

[@notkimpine]

they don't make good arcade racer anymore in 2024 unless we got gran turismo 7 which is boring as hell

[@syryozh6957]

why psp ridge racer cars are so low poly💀 this handheld beast could do much better

[@AI_KyunNotAnEgg]

Because they were targeting 60 fps

[@mosessin]

Maybe these games should have a crossover with Mario Kart...!

[@njez7563]

I only like type 4

[@aliultimate009]

For easy gameplay - music & story (dot at the end of sentence) You're missing out if you didn't try Ridge Racer 2 (PSP), Ridge Racer 6 & Ridge Racer 7.

[@nicholassilfanus4954]

This is a racing series that seen some sh*t

[@kauandesu6440]

Stop

[@SexMoneyDrugzTillTheNextLife]

Rr2 on psp & Rr7 >>>>>> Everything
