Rage Racer (PS)

Product Information

There’s our Ridge Racer ranking. If you’re a fan, be sure let me know what you think of this list in the comments. Happy drifting! In case you missed it: My one overriding thought of Rage Racer was that the hit detection didn’t really feel right, especially when you drove one of the smaller cars. You would think that driving a smaller vehicle would make it easier to overtake opposing racers as the smaller size should allow you to sneak past in sections where a larger car would struggle, but on more than one occasion, the game treated it as if I’d collided with an opposing racer when there was genuine air between us. Considering that bumping into another racer slows you down considerably and costs you precious seconds, this was a situation that frustrated me more than once.

Another error exists in the Ridge Racers 2 reverse course, where cars may fly off the road along the right-hand turn at the ruins, causing players to uncontrollably hit the corner's outer wall and lose a lot of speed. We couldn't find some of the information and covers for this game. When more accurate information or covers are obtained, the entry will be updated adding the missing information. Breathtaking hills and narrow hairpin turns put a premium on shifting, drafting and sliding skills. All of the 'standard' cars can be upgraded, with the cost increasing greatly from one grade to the next. The highest level to which the cars can be upgraded is Grade 5. This means the Assoluto Ghepardo cannot be upgraded, as it is a Grade 5 car as standard. Grand Prix mode in Ridge Racer Type 4 is the only time where she is seen in action as the race queen in actual gameplay.To begin with there is only one car in your collection. After you have won some money in races you can either upgrade this car or enter the car shop. Pachi-slot Ridge Racer 2 (2009) is a direct sequel to Pachi-slot Ridge Racer, again released in Japan.

Released in the winter of 1996 in Japan and then in the spring and summer in the US and Europe, respectively, Rage Racer is the probably the first game in the series that really “felt” more like a console game than an arcade game. Everything from the opening CGI animation (featuring the debut of series mascot Reiko) to the more standard menu screen give off the vibe that Rage Racer was a game that was made with Sony’s grey slab in mind first and foremost. Ridge Racer Revolution was also made specifically for the PlayStation, but it still retained that more arcade-like feel in its presentation.

Ridge Racer [a] is a racing video game series developed and published for arcade systems and home game consoles by Bandai Namco Entertainment, formerly Namco. The first game, Ridge Racer (1993), was originally released in arcades for the Namco System 22 hardware, later ported to the PlayStation two years later as a launch title. It was met with several sequels and spin-off games for multiple platforms, the latest being the mobile game Ridge Racer Draw & Drift (2016) with the latest mainline game being Ridge Racer 7 (2006). Gameplay involves the player racing against computer-controlled opponents to be the first to finish in a race. Drifting is a core aspect of the series, and is used to keep speed while turning corners.

Produced and compossed by Tetsukazu Nakanishi and Hiroshi Okubo during summer/fall 1996, the genre of music consisted mostly of 90's electronica and drum'n bass, which was a slight departure from the euro-dance/club styles that early Ridge Racer. It marked the beginning of Namco's new primary Sound Team after their former members began working with other companies doing production on games such as Street Fighter EX (1996) and Driving Emotion Type-S (2000). Ridge Racer Unbounded (2012) was released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows. The game is a large departure from the series' core gameplay, instead focusing on vehicular combat akin to the Burnout series. [8] The game features four distinct courses, each winding through a multitude of ancient landmarks, natural wonders, lighthouses, tunnels, and villages.
