What am I in for?

A great time. I recommend using analog controls.

It's an arcade racer; don't expect Gran Turismo. Unlocking all of the cars can be a pain. There's Pocketstation support, but IDK what the specifics are.

The sheer height of the late 90s aesthetic and the last truly great and new Ridge Racer game. You will learn why every single racing game ever with custom livery support has at least one person sharing an R.T. Solvalou skin.

Don't skip the intro.

Get a JogCon - it was pretty much designed for R4

An incredibly stylish and soulful racing game. Don't bother unlocking all the cars though because it's a pisstake.

Crap music and a game that can't decide if it wants to be a sim or arcade

Arcade racing of the highest order. Gameplay, atmosphere, aesthetics, soundtrack. The absolute pinnacle of the 1990s racing scene.

Complaining about 9 attempts. Is this your first racing game son?

>>6843737
Why even bother playing if you're not going to drift absolutely every possible moment you can.

>> No.6843910

>>6842863
Don't drift and don't hit the walls. You lose way too much speed if you do either in that circuit.

The expert difficulty is tuned a bit tight for the circuit: you won't make the last pass until the final lap. But on normal and easy you should have no trouble at all.

>> No.6844112

>>6842863
Don't drift or slow down at all.

Use manual to get a rocketboost start.

You can get round this track without braking at all.

Analogue controls or nothing, IMO. It's so fucking smooth and precise that way. Easily the best controls of any PS1 era racing game in analogue mode.

Not bait. R4 has shit music. Revolution is the best soundtrack in the series

The most overrated Ridge Racer game in the series, the worst Ridge Racer game at the time it was made, and possibly the most overrated arcade racer of all time. Slow, boring, horrendous chase cam. Play Ridge Racer 1 or Revolution instead

>> No.6844708

Chase cam is shitty in every entry in the series. Also RR64 is underrated.

>> No.6844746

No, it's excellent in RR1, and in Revolution you can fix it in the settings. Rage's as far as I can remember is fine too

Bad taste in games is almost always just thinly veiled ineptitude when you get down to it. It's just frustrated retards who can't play games (designed to be completed by children) without throwing a hissy fit

That wasn't even me (I'm the "original" revolution anon), but good to see there is someone on this board who isn't a complete neanderthal.

Angelus is beatable (I've done it, as did most of my friends growing up). Why are you so anally molested about it?

Was finally able to beat the race. The problem was I wasn't revving up to a higher gear at the countdown and I was also taking some of the turns too sharp and slowing down.
Fuckin' cheers anons

Maybe it works for bizarrely arcadey stuff like the Rush series, or zero g racers where you're moving so fast and the cockpit is so low relative to the track design you couldn't see anything, but games like RR are for first person only. Third person simply doesn't allow you to drive the best you can unless the camera is fixed directly behind the car with zero 'sway'- something that's pretty rare in games (I can think of the early NFS games offhand and that's about it) because for some reason most people -like- the sway. Hell, the original Ridge Racer arcade cab didn't even HAVE a chase cam, and was one of the machines that had a well-known 'full size' version with an actual Miata being used as the controls and a huge-ass projection of the game in front of it.
