The history of Ridge

[Dogg Thang]

Hmmm, yep it's all RR4 for me too. That was the ultimate in racing games for me. Beautiful style, fluid handling, great tracks, great soundtrack. It's perfect.

Did they ever get rave racer to work on emu on the pc ??

I have tried it a few times over the years but never worked well, i would love another go on it !

I would also love the songs on my xbox hdd to play !

[Pacman555]

Yeah I'm an RR4 man myself. I want to play it now, but my PS2 has decided that all discs that aren't audio CDs or DVDs aren't Playstation or Playstation2 discs .

Oh well, an excuse to buy a nice new slimline one :P.

Isn't the title R:Racing Evolution not Ridge Racer Revolutions?

More importantly was it really a Ridge Racer game?

[Shimmyhill]

Ive just been playing Ridge Racer (original nasty pal version) on the ps2, im totally buzzing - awesome game, just love it.

Im getting a psp for rr alone now ! (well when the price settles down )

[Riskbreaker]

Music: This is a tough one. RR4's soundtrack for me was nigh on perfect with only a couple of tracks I didn't listen to and RRV had some stand out tracks.

I'd have to say Samurai Rocket from RRV closely followed by Move Me RR4 and Your Vibe RR4.

Special mention has to go to the credits music in RR4 and V which are completely fitting for their respective titles.

Track: Bayside Line RRV in the evening - has to be in the evening! with Wonderhill a close second.

Style: Has to be RRV, the whole thing is incredibly slick and pleasant to look at. It has two negative points though, the commentator as already mentioned and it doesn't have the much superior RR4 intro on it. That said the RR4 intro wouldn't feel right without the music and the music doesn't fit in with RRV.

Ridge Racers on the PSP looks like it has everything bang on, RR4 style intro, great music, handling the lot. A definite purchase for next year once my bank balance recovers from the xmas season

How anyone would want to even remotely consider purchasing RR on the DS is beyond me.

Not officially. The "R" in R: Racing Evolution was always pretty vague.

[Papercut]

I'd say it was part of the series, but then Namco bottled it.

[saif]

R: Racing was not a Ridge game. It was a nod to it to increase sales but it is not Ridge. Just play it to tsse the difference!

[Papercut]

I know it's different, but it's heritage is clear.

Favourite music : The ragga jungle one in Rave Racer that I can't remember the name of...

You're such a Pimp - that's Heart to Heart, my fave Rave Racer track too! It's was one of the secretish ones you had to hold brake for.

[Pacman555]

Saurian you are OBSESSED with the word pimp! I seem to remember you even posted a picture of a comedy pimp on the Photowall .

Oh and Daytona, ****es all over Ridge Racer

[Wools]

PIMPS?

Anywho, after all this talk of Ridge I booted up Ridge Racer type 4 and the music that plays during the replays gets me so pumped up watching it. Thats the best music in type 4.
