I believe Namco Bandai is working with Arcade1UP to make that happen.

@@TBONE_2004 That's cool, but I'd also like to see A Switch collection of those games.

@@Launchpad05 never happening im sorry

@@ruth4831 even in 2023 still not happened.

Good races, good times!

They just need to remaster all of them on PS4 in 4K HD graphics and we can all be happy. Slap in some online so we can all meet up and relish the past.

Hello I’m from 2 years into the future, we have PlayStation plus with ps1,2,3 and psp emulated games I’ll see y’all on the track

Best playstation time I ever had. Bringing the arcade feelings home. GO GO GO....

Right on point. The lack of new Ridge Racer titles are the sole reason I stopped buying PlayStation's after PS3.

Chris jT - Namco’s System 22 arcade hardware which powered 1993’s Ridge Racer, 1994’s RR2 and 1995’s Rave Racer, had a bunch of DSPs and texture mapping & shading chips from Evans & Sutherland. E&S has all kinds of 3D workstations and image generators for flight military combat simulators. Namco worked with them in 1993 The “TR3” chipset un System 22 had 400 GFlops of processing power and a lot more memory. For comparison, the N64 had 100 GFlops in 1996. The PS1 did not work with floating point math, so even less comparable. Not only that, but even the fasted PC 3D accelerator cards of 96/97, like 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics and NEC-VideoLogic PowerVR, weren’t able to match System 22 performance in practice. The original PlayStation was not even remotely close to this. PS1 hardware made a nice low cost arcade board (System 11) that allowed near perfect ports of Tekken, T2, Soul Edge and other games to home. Like how Sega’s Model 2 and Model 3 boards had texture mapping chips from Martin Marietta and GPUs from Lockheed Martin’s Real3D computer systems division / spinoff company.

Ridge Racer 2 never came out for the PS1, but Ridge Racer 1 did.

@@blahdelablah Ridge Racer 2 is pretty much Ridge Racer Revolution (PS1).

I already closed this version, I have it here at my house.

@@TV-Omega Which version?

Yeah, fuck the sim gams man. Ridge Racer was the best on PS1. At least we still have the NFS games, but they haven't been able to top NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 for me. Rivals came close....

Me was need sim racer because my driving was not very good. But after got more better real life driving, I want arcade gamestyle instead.

because shitty game devs like to call their undeveloped or oversimplified game mechanics "arcadey" to try to make people judge them less harshly. For example, somebody would look at that crappy ridge racer draw and drift game and call it arcadey because it has lots of bombastic announcer voiceovers and oversimplified "racing"

Although I never had the chance to try out this game myself, I don't think there was a view change button until Rave Racer. There are quite a few videos of the first two games on the arcade cabinet and I haven't ever seen a different view. Also, the Rave Racer flyer specifically mentions the view change, which isn't stated about the first two games. flyers.arcade-museum.com/flyers_video/namco/21201301.jpg

@arronmunroe - Makes sense, the option was always in PSX conversion, so thought I was missing something from mame emulation, thanks 🙏

The soundtrack actually is different. This one has a rearview mirror, unlike the first one. Also, this one has multiplayer for up to 8 players.

@@arronmunroe right... Cheers for that So then, really it's not a sequel, more like an update 😅

Weird the arcade version was not ridge racer revolution so the gamers pf the arcade could race the same levels as in RRR

@@arronmunroe And sadly didn’t seem to have cool triple-screen cabinets

The music in this game is so deliciously 90's. I fucking love it.

@@MrMechasexual NOW GO GET R.T. SOLVALOU!! LEAVE THEM IN THE DUST!!

How?

@@robertforster8984 it's not hard to drift in this game, it's basically on-rails, you can turn the wrong way and do a 360 and still come out of the corner with most of your speed lol

MAME 0.211 with i5-4590

Looks "perfect"? Have you seen the way the camera tilts? lol

@@TheOneAndOnlySame that's because they're using controller no?

@@St_Rizla dunno, perhaps yes. Looks hella weird.

I don't think that can be done in this game.

No. I believe the movement would look smoother if I actually was using one.

Namco should bring Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer 2, Rave Racer, Revolution and Type 4 as a collection

Yes, they should bring it back with wheel support

@@TheDarkwingj Or hell, they need to make Ridge Racer 8, and include those tracks in tribute forms. All those tracks could EASILY make for a huge collection of Grand Prix challenges. And to go further, build on what Type 4 perfected and place each track in a respective GP, with the easiest being made for the first GP, and the most challenging for the finals.

It's coming😎✌️

@@k7psych when😀

I think all you need for this game is the latest MAME and the zip file for the rom. You mention core, but I didn't play this on Retroarch.

@@arronmunroe thx

Was that only for time trial? Name entry is seen at 16:10.

I'm not absolutely sure about this, but I think it is related to using a joystick to control the car. This game was designed for a steering wheel, and I assume it would look smoother using one.

😎😎😎

MAME

@@arronmunroe thank you.

I think it might just be a problem with the emulation.

@@arronmunroe Nah, this is how RR is handled on arcade, it's to simulate tilting as you steer the wheel, a weird choice for sure, it's even there when playing in 3rd person view. They toned it down in Rave Racer.

@@PassionWagonYT Didn't the real arcade have a analog steering wheel? If you're playing on MAME with a keyboard then it'll probably look like this, the game will be seeing its virtual steering wheel go from none to full steering instantly.

@@SerBallister You can use controller analogue sticks to simulate the wheel turn, it still has the jarring tilt.

@@PassionWagonYT these early racers lack a bit of polish so that makes sense

I used an Xbox controller.

the driving is a bit different

That was my favourite car

@@retroonyoutube5402 ME TOO, SOLDAT ALL THE WAY!!!
