Ridge Racer Type 4 intro ( Kouta Takahashi - Urban Fragments )

[@jinanlele]

This opening cinematics is a milestone. never skipped even once.

[@vulcanproject]

I remember reading a review of RRT4 in I think the official Playstation magazine at the time. Nearly 20 years ago now. It talked about the pre rendered opening and under a screenshot of it I'll never forget the caption. It said verbatim: 'One day all graphics will look this way'. That day is really here, and they do. They look like this and even better. What a time to be alive lol

Know this is going to sound cheesy, but watching brought a few years to my eyes. This game was such a big part of my childhood and at times one of the few places I was able to find validation at a time where I was seriously depressed. Hearing the music made me smile and brought back the joy and sense of accomplishment that came along with perfectly timing powerslides to beat the computer after making a big mistake. I knew my worth here, I knew that these tracks belonged to me that in this virtual space I was a legend behind the wheel.

[@MarianoRyu]

- Ah, where did the '90s go?

[@WellBeSerious12]

It became the (20)00s, (20)10s, and soon (20)20s. I guess the names of the years aren't 'catchy' and there's more stylization and no single 'style' to describe this time now. And with most of the focus on technology and equality, there's less focus on 'style of the decade'.

Ahhh, summer of 2002. Going with my cousins to GameXrazy, and getting two playstation games. X5 & this. As we arrived home, neither of my cousins never touched nor garnered any interest in these games. "Lets play this." I said. "Nah..." They said. "Why?" I ask. "Cause it sucks. Its Playstation 2. That's where its at." one of them said. Them being ignorant in what they stated (this was around our kindergarden years), they decided to play nothing but sport games...yay.... After they stopped playing, they allowed me to play the console, which made me pop in this game. 0:00-0:07 begins hearing pure bliss "Whoa....." my reaction. Immediately, this became my favorite PS1 racing game not just for the awesomely soundtrack, and memorable intro; it was the gameplay that blew me away lol. All thanks to my 6 year old me, being an inquisitive being that I still am to this day. :D

[@ajd0652]

Watching this in 2018 and what's really striking me is the "Welcome to the World of Ridge Racer" at the end. I sunk hundreds of hours into this game as a kid and distinctly I remember the game really building it's own world and pulling you into it -- even having story with characters and a team to care about was unheard of at the time. Not to mention everything else about this game, from the style to the soundtrack, complemented the racing and the atmosphere in an absolute flawless way. This game desperately needs a remake, or the series at least needs to go in this direction again. And again, that soundtrack...perfection. Are there any artists or genres out there today that are making this type of music?

[@XBLCORPS]

Still have this game and ps1..This will never get old.

@@tempimport7172 Nah. RR4 is definitely the best. This was a riposte to Gran Turismo, which had put every racing game in the shade, including previous Ridge Racers. Whilst Namco might never have equalled the simulation aspects of Gran Turismo, this game was arguably far better looking. The lighting for example, was in another league when compared to Gran Turismo.

I remember first playing this when my ignorant friend didn't realise what gem he owned and just decided to lend it me (all I was used to at the time was rage racer, which my curiosity drove me to climb my bookcase for) I was instantly shocked by this amazing intro, I listened to it about 3-4 times before actually bothering with the game, then the graphics and game physics nuked my brain and I fell in love with the game, of course I had no idea what I was doing so I chose the race team with my favourite colours (PAC RACING CLUB) and did my best, I was also surprised to find that the Assoluto Fatalita was in the game, as it was completely different from rage racer (or so I thought) I'm glad I discovered the franchise (by climbing that bookcase all them years ago) and I'm sad that there's no RIDGE RACER 8 for ps4 and Xbox One

I wouldn't stand on a road where cars go 300km/h

I still have the game and I always play it now and then. What a legend game. Love the intro, love the music, love the girl, and love the car.
