R4 is peak Ridge Racer. Everything just fell into place with this game.

That two player mode was kind of bad tho. Not that the racing is bad, but I just wish the camera pushed far out enough for you to see your car. It's a very bad angle in split screen

I was so used to playing Ridge Racer on PSP emulator and Ridge Racer 2 on my PSP 2000 and felt that the gameplay mechanics started from somewhere. Then I finally got to play this game on my newly bought Miyoo Mini Plus and finally come at the realization that yeah...this was the one that started THAT! It's drift mechanics, sense of speed, and the tracks were very familiar to me immediately and it's awesome! One thing I love about this is the collision detection because they felt right and made sense than the collision detection of the Ridge Racer games on the PSP. Plus it's drift mechanic don't tend to overdrift than the PSP ones. Like when you pull off a drift, the car immediately snaps back to normal on the track. And hear me out... I'm playing it using a D-pad (which still feels great.) So yeah...this game is my number one Ridge Racer in my books now. 💯

Correction: not all ps1 games had warping textures/polygons. See Tobal 2 for example (and others). Also, the x is silent in prix.

the only way to counter the warping is split up large surfaces into lots of tiny ones

R4 is one of my favorite racing games of all time. Its' atmosphere and sound quality contributed a lot to how it felt, as did its' hyper-modern UI. I adore it, and I'd list it on my Top Ten PS1 games of all time any day. The soundtrack is unbelievable. Namco's soundteam was on bloody fire at the time in ways that are harder to understand now. Between R4, Ace Combat 3, Tekken 2/3, Soul Edge/Caliber, etc, Namco definitely deserved a spot on the VGM hall of fame, along with Capcom, Konami, and Squaresoft.

Thank you for giving props to Rage Racer! It's still my favorite of the old Ridge Racer games with tighter (if not more jank) car control, more punishing on wall and vehicle collisions, and heavier/harder hitting soundtrack. It also had the custom logo creator with a simple paint and color mode! It was way ahead of it's time. R4 to me has a cleaner presentation and easier car control. R4's intro is absolutely GOATED though!

Fun Fact: The intro of Ridge Racer Type 4 was an ad in The Netherlands. I know it was an ad, because as a kid i have seen it on TV.

@@pikminologueraisin2139Sony's official emulator within the PS3/PSP is certainly great, very accurate and high compatibility. I impulsively bought some games on the PS Store (ironically including R4) and it's a perfectly fine way to play the games without enhancements

the game's only flaw may really be the bloated car selection the gameplay is too standard for me but that's not a flaw just a preference but this means I don't play the game much (and that means I will never unlock all the cars !!! FF)

I love Ridge Racer It's a great game on the PS1 and PSP and I'm happy Namco made it easy to play on modern gaming consoles. Ridge Racer is a amazing classic Racing game franchise. Cool video. ^_^

11:50: Pocket Station is available in PAL and NTSC/U In the LOAD/SAVE menu. 19:57 480P = 240P. The Max resolution of PS1 is 640x240p. 640x480 is only achieved by interlacing the image.

I've always liked it on artistic merit, but I have to say it doesn't feel as challenging as the previous games in the series, for better or worse. Still, the "story mode" concept is something I'd like to see more of. It could've worked brilliantly with one overarching plot and some new characters added from one game to another, like in Tekken.

I never really liked this game but I admired the game developers for creating a cool racing game. Back then I would much rather play Gran Turismo 1 & 2, Crash Team Racing, Need for Speed-series, Test Drive series, and such games over this. That's just my opinion though. I did not like the handling of the vehicles in Ridge Racer Type 4 and became bored instantly. I just wasn't hooked when it released and I still aren't hooked to it now. It just feels like a copy paste type of game that had a good foundation but they never did anything with the actual game itself like actually making the player feel in control of their car instead of always ending up driving into walls and that was what made me quit the game and move to better alternatives.
