/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7201018
>one circuit
But that's false, at least for the home version. There's the easy/normal circuit (2 laps vs 3 laps), and then the hard/time trial circuit with the extra extension through the construction zone, plus the backwards versions of each. I'll give you the rest, though. RR1 is great.

>>7201018
>Daytona or SEGA Rally
Those games do what RR does pretty well--fast; fun; simple well-designed tracks and format; set to good music. If you said that R4 doesn't replicate the charm of Ridge Racer 1, I'd agree

>>7201052
>If you said that R4 doesn't replicate the charm of Ridge Racer 1, I'd agree
That's reasonable, but I'm not sure if it's right to assume R4 was even trying to replicate it. Most of the PS1 era games kind of do their own thing. If RR1 and RRR is a celebration of everything nineties- a system-selling arcade port with solid frames, absolutely bonkers music, and a general vibe of high energy enthusiasm covering everything from the announcer to the crunchy sound effects when selecting options in the menu screen- then R4 is a send-off to the decade, with a more subdued soundtrack, a cool overall palette, four teams/stories that bring the maturity of Rage Racer without the edge, and an in-game year's worth of more realistic road courses culminating at New Year's Eve, 1999.

>>7201018
No, it's just a glorified tech demo. It's shocking to me how a game with such little content and inferior racing mechanics to contemporary SEGA racers was so lauded. I think it just comes down to hype about the new playstation and graphics obsession.

What CD did you put in after the game loaded to listen to?

For me it was Warren G Regulators.

>>7201226
No, really.

>>7201018
fridge racer is complete shite, arbitrary weird as fuck cereal box on ice physics that aren't hard but just stupid

>>7201215
this

Ridge Racer 2 will always be might favorite.

>>7201215

this.

It's fun but not really that great, the physics are completely fucked. . Daytona USA is light years ahead in fun, physics, music etc. its only popular today because of the playstation and how much better it looked than the daytona port (even though that port played better)

Ridge racer on psp
RR type 4 on ps1
My faves
Love the handling, the cornering, driftin. The speed and weight of cars is just right and levels are tight. Peak racer for us retro types imo.

>>7201439
>brit slang loser appears
And hidden. Time to make my own britbong filter list :)

I remember Ridge Racer and Daytona USA being used as arguing points around which system was better back at school.

Ridge Racer was certainly closer to its arcade original than Daytona USA was, but Daytona was the better game overall. Daytona had three distinct tracks compared to Ridge Racer's 1 (with a single variation, not counting reverse/mirrored BS), plus Daytona USA could have up to 40 cars racing on the track at a time. Ridge Racer had the better framerate though.

I think that Sega Rally Championship is superior to both games though.

>>7201964
Really like the nitro boost for RR psp, but it's not technically retro is it?

Rage Racer was better

i always felt like this series was a rip off. imagine paying $60 to race checkpoints on like 2 tracks

Daytona did play better, the gameplay was a lot like the arcade, but unfortunately it was released at a time when graphics were the name of the game and RR undeniably looks better.

SRC is the crown jewel for sure though

It was bundled with PS1s for free, or you could get Revolution which had more distinct tracks.

>Is this the purest game ever made?
Yes.
I love how it's so simple to get into yet hard to master. Modern racers are bloated to the max with tuning and menus and shops. I don't have TIME for that nonsense!

There's just something about mid to late 90's arcade and sim racing games that are just comfy as fuck and I'm not articulate enough to know what that is. Amd I dont even care too much for racing games

Something about the simplicity tied with the hyper energetic music a lot of these games tend to have (or the drum'n'base/house stylings of R4)

Yeah. Maybe I'm just really lucky but I was able to beat every track variation on my first try. Super shallow game, cars have next to no variety and all play the same. It doesn't even have any sort of power steering mechanic.

Zoomer spotted.

"Imagine spending fifty bucks and getting an arcade game you can play at your house any time you want, as many times as you want, without having to go all the way to the arcade and waiting for the machine to be free and then spending fifty cents on every race" is how people actually thought about the situation back in the 90s.

>>7203446
If the single greatest purpose of a video game is to be fun and the video game in question is fun, then the video game is good

So is the high spec demo included with Type 4 actually the full game?

>>7205746
Yup. Only difference is there's only two cars per race instead of a full grid and two music tracks, but all four times two layouts are there, as is the 13th Racing and the extra cars unlocked for clearing Galaxian.

it is pure soul distilled.

>>7205761
And it's 60 frames so it's actually playable

you can increase internal res and overclock cpu in some emus. Poseurs on vroom claim they want a fun little comp on retro game then cheat change the settings to make it easier, pretty sad.

>>7206456
I like upping the resolution/textures just for the looks, but changing the frame fps doesn't seem fair in a competition

>>7206459
>but changing the frame fps doesn't seem fair in a competition
absolutely agree... unfortunately some dorks claim to just want a bit of fun when then ruin it with shenanigans that completely change the gaming experience... naturally i'm the bad guy for pointing out the sillyness of having a ps1 game comp and changing the game so it plays completely differently, nerds gonna nerd i guess.

RR64 was pretty fun, basically a revamped OG and Revolution with some of its own content. You can even choose to use the control styles of the prior games instead of the new one. You wouldn't think it was made by a totally separate team in the US.

Someone should make a racing game where girls are the cars and they hold wheels with their hands and feet and you sit on top. They go left or right depending on which pony tail you pull. Your penis could be the key that start their engines.

>Is this the purest game ever made?
I would say it's up there among other 10/10s.

Lets start with the aesthetics. Ridge Racer and especially Ridge Racer Type 4 are technical marvels on the PS1. The PSP remake is even more stellar. We’re talking a solid 60fps at all times, great track geometry and all the shiny cars your eyeballs could ever possibly take in. The colour palettes are cool, understated and muted, but that’s not a negative. Each course has its own identity, and where there is bold colour, it’s implemented masterfully. Round a corner and that coloured sky just hits you. The neon accents in the city courses come in at just the right time as to take your breath away. Add in the different times of day for all the courses, and you’ve got an assault on the eyeballs. Ridge Racer looks like it’s definitely punching above the PSP’s graphical weight. On PPSSPP, it looks about as good as it possibly can when scaling up to higher resolutions.The lighting, baked in as it may be, looks amazing. Some clever effects kick in at various bits of the track to simulate sunlight, cloud cover and more.

>>7201439
Ridge Racers is all about the gameplay. One of the few games that felt OK with an analogue nub on original hardware, playing these games in PPSSPP or PS1 emulators with your gamepad of choice takes that golden gameplay nugget and polishes it up to such a degree you’ll need sunglasses just to look in its direction.

>>7203486
Not so fast! You’ve gotta drift to take these corners. You’ve gotta boost to take over your opponents. To fill up your nitro boost gauge, you’ll need to drift through bends, hairpins and chicane’s at a high enough speed and with enough grace to please the system lords. If you don’t, no boost for you.

Certain corners require certain approaches, and if you don’t tackle them in precisely the way the game wants you to, you’ll be slipping and sliding all over the place. I love this. It forces you to learn the quirks of each of the courses. You’re punished with a loss of speed and no boost, so the impetus to do well is always there, and with the course’s being so memorable – a stunning feat, given their sheer number and make-overs – it’s easy to do. You’ll know them in-and-out before you know it, and your performance in-game will get better and better.

Let me say if you enjoy early Ridge Racer you need to try the psp remake asap (as fast as possible)

This is well said ^ if people complain about original RR lacking content they should try RR1 & 2 on psp.

>>7210283
>lacking content
Even games with massive amounts of content and game modes usually boil down to everyone playing a couple of maps. Just look at Battlefield 3 with deathmatch Noshahr Canals.

>>7210130
Maybe, if you are an ADHD zoomer who can't stand not having constantly changing stimulation going 24 hours a day.

In the 90s the goal of a game like Ridge Racer was to do races over and over until you had shaved every last second possible on your laptimes, then you'd show your friend, and if yours were faster you would hold it over his head and gloat like a motherfucker until a few days later when you'd go over to his house and he'd show you that he managed to knock a second and a half off of your time, and he would gloat like an asshole, so you'd go back to your house and practice some more and the cycle would repeat.

High scores and bragging rights were the name of the game, why do you think every single arcade game had its high score list display during its attract mode?

>>7203405
Same here. I believe it has to be something about a "summer vibe" that those games had: big beaches, cool energetic music, sunlight, fast action and the happy carefree felling of summer vacations, before the 21st century depression almost finished off those kinds of games.
