R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 But It's Gran Turismo 7 [PS5]

What if Ridge Racer Type 4 was remastered for modern consoles?
One of the iconic PS1 racers that shaped my childhood days. Its impressive visuals, banger soundtracks and engrossing career mode with unique backstories for each participating team help it stands out among its other contemporaries.

Hi, I am Kohta Takahashi, one of the composers of Ridge Racer Type 4.🎸 This video is seriously cool!⚡ Thanks for making us dream!😀🏆

[@AFIROCK100]

A la madre! :0 ...I love Lucid Rhythms :')

[@kohtasolid]

@@AFIROCK100 "Ritmos lúcidos" es una canción muy chula. El compositor, el Sr. Nakanishi, también es muy activo en Rage Racer y fue una ayuda muy poderosa en Ace Combat 2. ¡Y amo a Alan Holdsworth tanto como tú!

[@AFIROCK100]

@@kohtasolid "Gracias desde lo mas profundo de mi corazón..." (as Enki Gilbert said xD) ...It's amazing how a 1998 game has the BEST soundtracks ever made! ...also the story is remarkable... Sophie, Shinji, Enki, Robert... But yeah! Lucid Rhythms was a challenge! ...that bass line is the hardest to hear and get the right tones xD

[@fikridroid]

So honored to see the comment from the R4 composer here! Your musical works really made my childhood!

[@kohtasolid]

@@fikridroid Thanks for the great video as well.😀 I insisted on using the normal background music for the replay screen. I'm so thrilled you were able to recreate it just the way it was! Thank you! 🏎🏆

[@F6LabsVideo]

It really surprises me that with Ace Combat, Tekken, Project Soul etc still doing well, that Ridge Racer somehow got left behind. We are so overdue for a new try at the "cinematic racing rpg" too. How cool would a Real Racing Roots '25 sequel be? Throw in stuff like Persona's social links, a car development and team development system, branching story paths. It feels like we're so close with Grid Legends and NFS Unbound. Perfect time for Namco to show them how it's really done.

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

GRID Legends does fill that "cinematic racing RPG" hole in my opinion

[@jeddflanders9394]

I would kill for a new Ridge Racer or even a remake of Type 4 for PS5

[@Stark1ller]

Ridge Racer 2 PSP is coming to PSN. It contains all the tracks of Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Revolution, Rage Racer, Ridge Racer Type 4 und Rave Racer.

[@familama6313]

​@@Stark1ller it's out now been playing it for a while

[@jeddflanders9394]

I just downloaded it yesterday it plays great! Wonder if it would support online multiplayer via update later

[@CanMav]

@@jeddflanders9394 It does play well but an honest remaster of R4 through R7 is needed. Oh and Rage Racer too, that's a masterpiece

[@AquaticFish420]

It's out now on ps5 if you are subscribed to playstation plus premium

[@BigBoss_7191]

This by far my favorite Gran Turismo 7 video on youtube. This is literally me every day I play GT7. I put my wireless headphones in and blast R4s ost for every race. I made a Ferrari 458 Italia into the RT Solvalou from the opening movie. R4 is easily the most memorable PS1 racer Ive ever played

[@alvercaine8893]

If you want the car name, in game its the assoluto bisonte. Heavy detomaso panthera influences.

[@GABRIEL1030]

I have dust in my eyes...not...I'm no crying. Pure Nostalgic game is RR4

[@Sam13rown]

He’s better than Giuliano… This is awesome, I think Trial Mountain at sunset would be perfect for Wonderhill if you do a sequel

[@anthonyf3647]

My childhood right here. You captured the liveries beautifully and the music...😍

[@evicebrown4226]

十字キーでピクピク動かすのとか、スタートの時の動きとかめっちゃそれっぽくて好き

[@QWERTY-wr4lt]

それなです

[@tato1271]

This game gave me feelings i will never forget. I still remember being 5 and my dad complimenting me on my good driving like i was some sort of pro, happy childhood memories...

[@mrblimbo1359]

I love how you mostly matched the nations of the teams. Could have used a 4c for RTS but would maybe not be as fitting

[@N1sm0NIC]

I was thinking more Huracan because isn't aren't both RTS and Assoluto Italian?

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

That R8 almost had Osea colors

[@purwantiallan5089]

2023, one full year after Nijigasaki High School Idol Club anime Season 2, and this Ridge Racer Type 4 video in Gran Turismo 7 still one of my alltime favourites!

[@whurl5556]

gokil, jarang orang masih inget ada game ini. Ridge Racer and Gran Turismo has been my favorite childhood games, and you remake it on gt7 is just a masterpiece🙌

[@milesr4609]

What an iconic game R4 was for the PS1. And Pearl blue soul, simply unforgettable.

[@GrinXpedia]

HE'S THE ONE FOR ME edit: no offense my man but you could've credited the livery makers (because that Supra GT500 livery was made by me, for example). still very cool content and thanks for using the PRC Supra GT500 livery :)

[@SolarCrownDrifter]

oh what PSN ID do i search for your livery? its very well made :)

[@kanata4g63]

Amazing livery man!

[@kanata4g63]

@Damar Fadlan Eh?

[@KasbashPlays]

This is kickass. I hope you find a good drift tune for your cars so you can bridge that gap between GT7 and R4 even closer.

[@davidecico]

This video is a masterpiece! I started playing r4 some years ago and I really liked it since the beginning. I would really love a remastered version of it

[@jdcp3375]

This is art, art trough nostalgia

[@SweetT00f]

Ridge Race Type 4 OST Songs in order: 1) On Your Way 2) Pearl Blue Soul 3) Move Me

[@causeforthought1773]

Ridge Racer Type 4 when I first played it I knew it would be replayed for years to come, and I'm still going strong. Awesome vid.

[@ana5go5]

グランツーリスモの奇麗なグラでR4愛を炸裂させてるｗｗ

[@sprinklesdavenport8246]

Super cool, great work man

[@fikridroid]

Thanks! Do subscribe if you wanna see more content like this! 😀

[@TorchicNidoran1994]

Hearing Move Me at the end gave me massive feels. Such a well done video and I'd love to see more!

[@retroblue-p9g]

The colour ways on the vehicles are amazing. This just put a big smile on my 43 year old face, RRtype4 was my favourite one. Thanks for this.

[@alkyon2360]

Ah yes, jadi nostalgia pertama kali punya ps1 dibeliin bapak, tokyo expressway juga rada mirip vibe nya sama trek di rr4. Waktu itu cd nya gak beli tapi dikasih sama kakaknya temen gw dan masih ingat betul warna cd nya ungu covernya plastik kaca warna orange.

[@Iamrocky5687]

glad to see im not the only one who always goes for the r4 liveries lol

[@nobobypartiallyimportant1142]

R4 for life! I still play it and love what you did with gran turismo!

[@phantastik3389]

I used to drift a lot in Ridge Racer.

[@Vortex_ICEcold]

Only 90s kids will understand

[@MartinBradbury]

this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! nice homage dude, takes me waaay back :)

[@experiencethis3982]

Ridge racer type 4 will always have a special place in my heart. Not too long ago I picked up a CIB ps1 copy at my local annual retro convention and it will always be a prized possession of mine.

[@anperson8329]

2:00 Are you deliberately trying to emulate d-pad steering here? Cool.

[@LynnIronLightning]

dude this is fucking TERRIFIC, i honestly love it, it's just so fantastic. Well done!

[@romerhurtado1883]

Pure art!! Amazing vid. Great graphics with a Amazing soundtrack! I love it!!

[@andre49403]

Yo this is so dope, I absolutely need this!!

[@denver376]

When in 1998, Ridge Racer Type 4 respected almost more/same as Gran Turismo 1 or 2. Namco almost had it! Also, I myself created liveries on GT Sport mostly for RTS on only Italian (Super)cars. You can probably check them.

[@ranuichase4167]

This brought a huge smile to my face :) Thank you!

[@j.g.p.jr.6497]

Wow! I like this! Ridge Racer Type 4 on Gran Turismo 5! Love the graphics and the artwork on the rides! Well done!

[@rodolfosolano9572]

Maestro Takahashi,usted a creado una de las bandas sonoras más emotivas,emocionantes y extraordinarias de todos los tiempos en el arte digital que son los videojuegos,larga vida para usted que a dado a Ridge Racer y al mundo una pieza de arte fantastica,felicidades infinitas por este regalo invaluable😸❤️

[@rtst_dj]

😍😍😍 impressive work! I play the soundtrack every so often just to give me that nostalgia hit, but this is on another level.

[@3mileisland516]

Oh man I wish the bgm was Movin' in Circles... 😁😁😁 Great vid tho buddy!! 👌👌

[@demonlordomegaacepilot7090]

Just because your a ridge racer fan DTG leader from demonsoftactical gaming will give you a subscribe! 👍

[@davewright8206]

a well done nostalgig blast . loved it

[@evanloveyou]

brings all the memories back， thank you

[@boredstudent]

R4 is so awesome and it's one of my favorite Ridge Racer games next to the PSP game and Ridge Racer 6 on the Xbox 360

[@Bluehawk2008]

Some of the hyper-realistic bespoke lighting from the original game is lost in translation here, but it still looks great (and I assume has a vastly superior physics model).

[@nameresu]

I swear R4 looked exactly like this 20 ago.

[@HaxtuTi759]

*素晴らしい‼︎*

[@naturevideos.000]

TAKE MY MONEY!

[@uliseson7895]

I need a new RR :(

[@SathallaArdi]

Njir ! lu langsung di komen ama composernya langsung ! salut bro !

[@AngelBullet03]

so please.. please to all of us.. let's hope namco remake RR4 or make new Ridge Racer on PS4 & PS5 🙏🙏

[@joshscorpius6272es]

Nice video 💯👍, the track I watched it on GT Sport.

[@mattburkey]

This is fantastic!! So iconic!! Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1)/Ridge Racer 2* (PSP) was peak Ridge Racer for me, not really enjoyed the games that followed. *RR2 on PSP had all the tracks from the original PS1 games including Rage Racer and RRT4 remastered in slightly better quality... for it's day.

[@MtlPlyr]

No drift but R4 did have grip type car. Feel cool though.

[@Darkest_matter]

bruh i been listinging to ridge racer departure lounge all day haha

[@shiethegal]

Cool vid, but there isn't enough drifting for this to be a true Ridge Racer homage. IDK are you using a grip type car maybe?

[@Guastatore1986]

The fact who make me Angry is: why not Bandai Namco have not acquire the Sligtymade studios for have in all Project Cars Game the liveries of all Ridge Racer in all cars?

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

You think Edge would watch these? I mean her sister is in this competition.

[@Craftzhie]

It's very nostalgic. Sadly my PS1 is broken and It's gone since 2012, so I can't play it anymore.

[@rzero21]

ah, the nostalgia man...!

[@chenyuliu7838]

brings tears to a grown mans eyes! love it! instead time machine!

[@agusgonzalez3219]

Awesome bro!!!

[@leadlefthand]

Gotta love the Dig Your Own Grave team...er Dig Dug Racing Team. ;)

[@marianogomez1664]

Wow even the other cars are from R4

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

I put some Ridge Racer sponsors on my Gr.4 S15

[@daprotech]

Masterpiece!

[@charlesjackson9417]

Cool! Whats the name of the song at the very beginning?

[@fikridroid]

Hiroshi Okubo - On Your Way

[@CharLiiDewnlead]

Hypnotized

[@kazihiseguy-fernand4637]

I need to see this but in the style of NFS unbound

[@BloodK]

Insane !! i love it RRT4

[@philippehenry2202]

Less breaking, more drift should bring back the magic. C'mon use tour shiftbox ans handbrake... perhaps in wet conditions

[@23492727]

great work! but can you drift like ridge racer?

[@fikridroid]

I actually tried to emulate the grip cars of R4, but I've planned to make Ridge Racer-themed drift montage in the near future. Stay tuned!

[@RubnLee]

Bes racing game ever, of course I0m talking about Ridget Racer Type 4

[@FlexBlur]

Magnifique. 👏

[@mlolmd9345]

we need a R4 remake !

[@aliultimate009]

This is literally possible in BeamNG 👍 You can put any kind of car by designing it then letting the AI drive the cars that you like in any kind of order on any track while you choose your machine to race 👍 You better try BeamMG to make this project a reality 👍

[@pongmai201203]

Very Realistic Race in GT7

[@ace47gaming]

Nice crossovers

[@mrjoemikeymercado8197]

I miss,, Ridge racer R4, so much,,, on The Playstation game,, ☺️😀😄😊

[@Part_Time_Fox]

Nice video fam

[@RobertK1993]

Need remaster for PS5 for 25th anniversary

[@Nikkel144]

bro wanted new ridge racer so much he made it in gran turismo, BUT 😭no drift😭

[@Teodor206]

What cars did you replicate?

[@pumppumpko7693]

R4 is a good game, even in today's standard. Sadly that the last RR series is already the era of PS3.

[@先輩-q4e]

ナイスデザイン！

[@forgottenZ32]

[@eak1ray43]

That's sooo cooll

[@Ono-ShinJi]

great

[@venomnw5938]

Hi it's crazy good job good job amazing

[@kevinleite6309]

What a great job!! Can I use screenshots of your video into a personal project? (No monetization here, just a fan project, credits will be included) I'm creating an concept of what would be an Ridge Racer Type 8 game inspired by the aesthetics of Ridge Racer type 4. (I´ve already created the branding and now I'm developing a website prototype on adobe XD)

[@ma70er]

Really well made. Even has the 4 racing teams and liveries from R4!

[@a_zula1]

This makes me wish that they would remake R4 without a bunch of fancy contemporary features. Literally just remake the game with newer graphics.

[@lan645]

What track was this

[@deco983]

Fantastic!

[@s_t_r_a_y_e_d]

I recently got my zoomer friends addicted to ridge racer 2 with PPSSPP and this got recommended, is Ridge Racer coming back??? (i wish)

[@KoKey-hd4bm]

Now is fixed!

[@Ishin69]

HELTER SKELTERRRRRR

[@luisangelampudiaramirez131]

Alguien sabe cómo se llama este juego no entonces si es de ridge racer o gran turismo

[@MiniMidi]
