Ridge Racer Type 4 is not just a game. It's an art, a beautiful art full of relaxing vibe.
I really love its UI design and music, futuristic and top-notch at the time
One of the best racing games for PS1. Though not the best Ridge Racer games out there (IMO thank you). Everything about R4 is different compared to its predecessors or successors.
The music, the design, the vibe is so perfect
it was the racing game that got me interested in cars when I was only 5. i'm planning to wrap my next car in the R.T. Solavlou livery, it's either an integra DC5 type R or Celica GTFour, Though I'm not sure on which one of the two to get yet.
@@LetsuGaukiRIDGE RACER TYPE 4 is as amazing as Nijigasaki High School Idol Club due to how perfect that game was.
For all those young'uns out there, Ridge Racer Type 4 was MIND BLOWING at the time. The graphics, music, the cinematics, the animation was absolutely ART for the time. While not much today, Reiko's animation when her shoe break, her hair in the wind, the movement of her skirt, her sigh, her facial expression, all that was the TOP OF THE TOP at the time. One of the best displays of Video-game as an Art.
EDIT: Reading other comments, I'm glad to see a lot of people think the same. ❤️
in the middle of a race, notice a young lady, gently pull over, have a little chat, offer a ride, go to the finish line, beat everyone else and win first place
"Nothing personal, kids" - nameless champion, circa 1998
i love the part where the car is in the tunnel, the motion is so smooth and it looks so clean especially for that era of animation
@Pixxit679for me R4, both PSP Ridge Racer games and 7 are the best ones.
@@eliazansou995agree. Its as amazing as it sounds.
I grew up playing this game (I played it from about 3 years old until I was 10 if I remember correctly) and this game was so good some of my EARLIEST memories are of playing it.
that transition from radge racer to RRT4 shows so much maturity and growth that I cannot comprehend. 1998 was a great year for gaming.
One of the GOATS. 🐑🐏
From Ridge Racer 4 onwards the game basically turns into Ace Combat, but with cars
R4 had to compete with Gran Tourismo and didn't have to be a take home arcade game. They killed it
I agree with you two, too!
I miss when games had so much class and love poured to them.
When games used to be fun.
These masterpieces might have been forgotten by the newer generations but they will always be iconic representations of a great era.
RRT4 was the game that introduced me to the world of Drifting back when I was a kid.
Although the drifting mechanics in the game itself felt crude and sluggish, they were onto something for sure.
RRtype 4 for life! 😂
Forever....
@@deejayatariCoco Hayashi, Ayumu Uehara and Shioriko Mifune and Lanzhu Zhong also loves R4 forever.
Reiko Nagase really resembles Ryoko Hirosue and apparently the game designer was inspired by her look. Google her if you love the character. She’s over 40 now but she’s still beautiful and kicking it.
Shioriko Mifune also looked similar to Reiko Nagase due to how beautiful both of them are. Period.
If they make a RR8, I nominate Chiaki from CyberJapan Dancers
Wasn’t her face scanned from a man?
Kicking it? I think you mean Flooring it.
RR4 Soundtrack is still vibe at 2023 ,playing in my car driving
same
100%
It is an absolutely timeless soundtrack.
@@RicochetForceyep. Even Urban Fragments soundtrack also rivalled Colorful Dreams Colorful Smiles, the alltime best anime song!
@@whiispyysame too for me.
RRT4 is one of the strongest arguments for the "videogames are art" claim. It is so masterfully crafted in all of its aspects, the results of divine inspiration and good experience with the hardware, as it came out towards the twilight of the PS1 era. Namco was absolutely on top of the game back then, releasing behemoths the likes of Tekken 3, RRT4 and Ace Combat 3 in three consecutive years. I'm envious of those that saw that unfold before their eyes, as I could merely catch up with these games way past their prime.
Not to mention soulcaliber! In that same year.
@@alexandermorgan4098yep. Soulcalibur 1 & 2 are still legendary till this day.
RR4 and Reiko the best forever!
Yep. But Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is also the best forever like RRT4.
love so much r4
Type 4 intro was the best intro in the series. Cinematic and the games music brings back so many memories of that era
Agree.
Not the best intro in the series.. Its one of the best intro in gaming history
TYPE 4 💯
They should remake Type 4. Can you imagine, the same music, menus, art style, racing feel, but with 2023 graphics instead?
Reiko Nagase in R4.............. best dreams for a young ridge racer
You kids will never know the feeling of seeing Ridge Racer in the arcades for the first time!
Yes i have...until Daytona USA came along. 🤣😂
So true!
@@StillTheVoid Pssh.... Daytona USA paled in comparison!
RR4 was the most beautiful and epic intro and that Reiko is perfect.
Yet, I loved the RR evolution intro as well, so harmonic ❤
5:26 Simply The Best!!!
So apparently Ridge Racer and Ace Combat are in the same universe, and Reiko Nagase is the older sister of Kei Nagase from Ace Combat 2.
An interesting teory, has the same last name so........is posible.
@@gdvelasquez2570 Funny enough, Reiko loves cars, and Kei deals with fighter jets... and supercars since the Vector W8 of the 1980s have had one thing that was the inspiration for a supercar design... fighter jets.
@@gdvelasquez2570well not theory but is a funfact confirmed by Namco itselft
Boy, they really couldn't settle on a consistent name for this franchise
Riiiiiiidge Racer!!!
fell in love with Ridge Racer Type 4 intro, always repeat it couple times before i press start just for the music, cinematic and Reiko Nagase :). for me it's the best RR franchise intro till now followed by R: Racing Evolution
I remember how much of a big deal RR4 was when it came out, a console magazine (maybe PSM) even did a scene-by-scene preview of the intro with screenshots. Good times! But RAGE RACER will forever be in my heart. I spent so many hours on that game... stellar soundtrack too
Cool i want old days back
Type 4 was a masterpiece!!!!
Ridge Racer 2 PSP being available on current gen platforms now, hope that sparks the much needed comeback of this series.
yeah, if subscribed to MULTIPLAYER thing on consoles. At least they made PS1 Legend of Dragoon available for purchase on PS4, but not RR 2 PSP. Great bussines model overall, clap clap sony
what new platforms can I play it on?
@@hitpeppens2932 I recently bought both R4 and RR2 for 10€, without needing a premium PS membership. Give it a try if you're still interested.
`Ridge Racer Type 4` is such memorable, best soundtrack ever 😅
As a 17 years old who didn't grew up with Ridge Racer but grew up with the same style of Racing games and other games
I just would love to see Ridge Racer back !
I'm tired of Need For Speed or Forza its the same thing every game !
If Ridge Racer returns it would change that !
RRT4 & R-Racing Evolution intro are perfection.
yeah mate lol
NAMCO knows how to make very good racing games. Time for them to get back into making them.
in real life, it seems possible to me to ask them to do something for ridgeracer. just after in less than 24 hours they answered me with a positive answer and a few months later they finally made a port of the psp version in the psplus premium subscription. And I recently asked to distribute the soundtrack of the ridge racer franchise on platforms like spotify, youtube music, .. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the game and if they really do it I think that the ridge racer community this manifesto to revive the franchise
They only thinking about Wangan Midnight
Studios are made of people, the last mainline RR game came out in 2006, I'm fairly sure most of the staff that worked on that game have already left the studio.
RR4, this intro....legend.
Nothing better after that.
That over a decade later we still don’t have another Ridge Racer game is almost as infuriating as Nintendo refusing to acknowledge that FZero exists
This deserves all the likes in teh world, just how we deserve RR8!!!
Imagine a current gen remake of R4 using Unreal 5 and a 1 to 1 4K remake of the opening...i would do anything for an anime series with 3d style of R4 opening video.
Rage Racer and RRT4 are ones i dearly want in a compilation if they decide to re-release the series. The ost is also very nice. Still rocking Urban Fragments intro song from RRT4 while driving in my car.
Rage racer just hits different, darker, more mysterious, Awesome cars, Love that game, i still play it.
Ridge Racer Type 4 !!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
that was amazing, I loved every moment of it
IIRC on Ridge Racer PSP in the gallery section you could watch a collection of the intros too.
For Rave Racer it says people mistook the girl for Reiko when in actual fact no one knows who she is!
So Rave Racer has also been the most memorable for me due to this forgotten character.
RR Type 4 is The best of the best RR imo. ABSOLUTELY Need a REMAKE!
I've never played this series yet I feel nostalgic watching all this. Games like this, especially the ps2 games evoke that style and feel that you barely see in games nowadays. Every racer these days are just sim games, when they can be so much more.
Anyway like #420 reporting in lol
R4 is a piece of history encapsulated pristinely. Not to mention a massive part of my childhood. There will never be another racing game quite like it. How I crave for a remaster.
Jamás voy a olvidar la presentación de Ridge Racer Type 4, mi RR favorito !!!
Nothing beats R4 but I sure do miss playing on my iPhone/iPad (Accelerated and Slipstream).
Ridge Racer Type 4, Ridge Racer Type 4, and... Ridge Racer Type 4.
And Ridge Racer 5.
Lol🙂
fuuuck this is beautiful. THIS IS ART. thank you
The first game still is Ma favorite. Just pure fun!
5:28 레전드
Reiko...thank you, this is a work of art!
Type 4's intro is fantastic, yes, but it's also incredible how close the real-time intro of RRV comes to the fidelity of the pre rendered visuals from just 2 years prior.
You a real one for this
Man i just miss the music of early RR games, just that smoothness to it.
9:45 side information 🤝🏻
Miss this series. It went out with a whimper.
6:40 The scene where the music picks up and it shifts between the shift, the tach, and the slide....mmmmmmm
R4 and Grand Tourismo 2 were the shit. I remember playing this on my massive 27inch TV with Quadraphonic sound system.
They really liked to put focus on showing Reiko's feet in these openings huh
She breaks a shoe in RR4, goes Barefoot in RR1, RR2, RR6, and then wears open toe heels in RR7 title screen
Why Namco dont show Reiko in Dancing Eyes videogame !? 😢
With a silent step this saga (and that beautiful japanese style) can face without fear gran turismo and nfs
I love this one, The Ridge Racer Anthology!!!! 🚗🛣️
Kimara Lovelace. The voice of RRT4 one of the best house ñ music singers un the 90s... and the excelent cgi intro from masters of namco... Simplemente SUBLIME!!!
R4 Pearl Blue Soul forever in my playlist
RR5 ❤
Back then R4 is my goto racing game on PS1, GranTurismo might be win by immersion, but R4 gameplay is much more fun racing game
Feels more like Ace Combat but for racing
i lowk wanna play ridge racer 4 the music and this typa art style makes me wish i was born sooner god it jus looks AMAZING
WE NEED a remaster of Ridge Racer Type 4
Ridge Racer PSVita has a great soundtrack too.
It could be the best of Ridge Racer on 30th Anniversary on this celebration from NBEI!!!!! Thank you, Reiko Nagase!! For everything!!!
1: Type4
2: Rage
3: V
Type 4 will always have the best intro ❤
I had no idea r racing evolution was apart of the ridge racer series
bcuz it's a spin off game for the Ridge Racer series, just like Critical Velocity.
Still playing Vita RR today, and 3d on 3ds. Sometimes 5 and 7. RR6 on xbox360 was awesome, maybe better gameplay than 7, I regret highly that I sold it along with the console. EDIT: Type-4 on Vita too and found an old copy of Rage racer. It was a brilliant racing series. Dunno why the 8th entry on Switch was cancelled.
First one I played was Revolution, second one and I think my favorite opening was Ridge Racer for PSP.
She was my dream as a teenager
Reiko Nagase, Sister To Kei Nagase (Ace Combat 5).
They look the same
Type 4's intro is nostalgia overdrive
i watched the intro for RR4 on cable tv like a 100 times.
Reiko Nagase will always be my original game girl crush! 😍
She introduced me to the japanese world of "Cool Beauty"
Yep. Reiko is definitely best girl!
I remember in 2000 were there were 2 other RR models, many requested to have Nagase in RR type 4 to be back and that is why she was back in RR 2004 and many future RR sequels.
😍Rage Racer and Type 4 😍
R: Racing Evolution intro song is a hidden gem, but yea RR Type 4 is a masterpiece. Beginning to end.
I subscribed #281and FOREVER you have my TOTAL support (Bell activated etc...) nice sharing and finally welcome my friend😉👍
気付けば自分も40代だけど、永瀬麗子も生まれ年の設定から考えて現実だともう結構いい歳なんだよな..。時間の流れを感じてしまう。
R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 deserved a remaster
finalmente comprendi que Rage racer si es del universo de ridge racer. 2:59 ♥ gracias.
In the Ridge Racer psp intro that's me on Ridge Racer V and on the PSP versions of Ridge Racer.
I miss RRS I had it when I had the Samsung J1 ace now it's dead. 😔😭
rage racer and type 4 are pretty good. everything after soulless and unmemorable
R4 opening is always my favorite
7:06 😳💕
I've never forgotten those beautiful legs
Goddamit Namco, you don't have to compete with Gran Turismo and the likes, RR series is great with all of its fantasy carmaker. Just release RR8 on PC and let this old man fall in love with Reiko Nagase all over again when sliding like crazy while listening to all that crazy good techno track.
The only Ridge Racer game was Ridge Racer Revolution on the PS1 (still have that game) and MAN is Unbounded such a jarring turn of tone, being all dystopian, secret society and lawlessness, rather then all about the thrill of battling the clock.
i actually grew up in arcades with Rave Racer!
When i was a child, I used to stop the car to wait Reiko after the tunnel LOL
R4 was a complete vibe.
Damn didn’t know they made a new one
♥
Ridge Racer Type 4 and R:Racing are the best ❤
RR Type 4 is still the best intro for a racing game in 2023, R: Racing was a good intro too btw
@5:27 that's when i saw the picture that i was pushed by an unknown force to set the volume to MAX. You too ? RRT4 ❤ Amore 🚘Assoluto🚘😉 ! 😜❤
22:22 So here is the game where NFS got idea to give name for their new NFS Game.
"NFS UNBOUND" 🙃
And note about Type 4....
It took NFS until 2003 with Underground for them to get their own female character that is Canon. 5 years for them to create someone who isn't as intriguing as Reiko. Plus, would've it made more sense if the RR games had a storyline about how she got into the passion of automobiles and detail her climb to the top of the street racing scene? (No, R: Racing Evo doesn't count.)
Critical Velocity ? Mean, I should try that.
it's basically Chase HQ but from Namco
Celle de Ridge Racer V la meilleure pour moi !
Ridge racer type 4 was my joint
Funny how the cinematics of today become the gameplay of tomorrow.
