There wasn't a single time playing this game back in the day that I didn't just sit for like a half an hour just listening to the soundtrack before actually playing the game
I just found about the soundtrack a few days ago. I cannot get enough of Lucid Rhythms by Tetsukazu Nakanishi . Fucking amazing, never thought I'd find that here (I don't know anything about Ridge Racer).
Agree. This game for me is a part of my childhood. And the graphics in this game blew me away. Especially the replay with that smearing filter. It looked like real life back in the days.
Never played this game before, just the first Ridge Racer on an arcade cabinet. Found some of these songs on a "relaxing PS1 music" playlist. Holy shit this soundtrack is fucking amazing.
I have been listening this soundtrack for more than 25 years. Masterpiece! Melbourne today just announced the sixth snap lockdown for 7 days. I would like to go out for a ride after it finishes.
I remember my mom playing this game with me, i was like 4 years old maybe 5 and she completed the game with all the cars, sadly the disc didnt load the game anymore now im 21, last time i saw my mom playing a game was gran turismo 6 with me hahaha
I was born in 1995 and my brother in 1979. I remember being a kid and playing r4 with him, i would always pick the grey/blue car because of the intro! Jesus, the nostalgy. Thank you so much for uploading memories from my childhood
Can't stop loving this soundtrack, listening to it once in a while makes me realize time can be stopped, go backwards, and drift those curves once again.
The first playstation game I ever had. Core sound track of my childhood, together with tekken 3's and Ace Combat 3's, were really ruling my mind and have given great inspiration and direction. Loving the micro variety of genres, loving the technological vision and the spirit..... I am eternally grateful to the 90's-00's Japan audio-video arcade production ..... they knew it .... THANK YOU NAMCO!
I probably listen to it a few times a week now. It's just absolutely amazing. There is one track which is just filled with glitch and breakcore goodness but in a way that does not affect the listeners like they would be by listening to Aphex Twin, for example.
Not at all!!! Cherish your memories and be thankful to have them. You can even play the game again! I'm replaying the Megaman X saga (while my kids are sleeping...) and I've had a blast :)
Most racers from the PSX era haven't aged all that well, but this game is more genius than most of today's offerings. Amazing music, track design, and controls, ESPECIALLY when using the NeGcon! I swear, that is the absolute best for racing games, and I hope Namco releases it again someday for modern systems.
Music awesome. Childhood experience - awesome. Car control - even back then I felt is sluggish and weird (Even though it was my first racer game and first ever game on a PS1 :) ) I really disliked the difference between the two type of break/steering of the cars.
In terms of the handling of the cars, this is probably least favourite of mine in the RR series. But still a great game. For me, the best part of this game was realising what the REAL goal is : collecting all the car variants, for every manufacturer and team combination, once you've beaten the grand prix.
Dude YES… especially that little middle section where it slows down, that part stabs me in the chest with a knife of nostalgia! Takes me back to being 6years old..
Ah 2001, the time when my uncle bought a PS2. At the time, he took me and my cousins to our then local GameXrazy ( Hollywood video store's version of GameStop ). While there, one of the employees offered my uncle Ridge Racer Type 4 & Mega Man X5 . Before gaining access to the internet nor game magazines, I had zero knowledge on what games were recommended. My uncle wasn't a gamer, and so he assumed my cousins and I would enjoy these classics. Out of the ordinary, I was the only one who enjoyed the PS1 titles. As my cousins were into next gen, I tested both PS1 titles. The first one I booted was Ridge Racer Type 4. Seeing the first intro cutscene, and hearing "Urban Fragments" just mesmerized my mind. I couldn't tell if this was a PS2 game, just seeing that epic intro sequence. Immediately, this was where my quality taste of video games started.
The soundtrack is amazing but the level of aesthetic detail in the menu screens / interstitial screens were also incredible. The only game that compares is Wipeout 2097.
Absolutely one of the best soundtracks to a game. Nostalgic as hell too listening to it now. Lol who remembers this on a demo disc from the late 90’s? 😅
Forgot all about this one.... the original ridge racer soundtrack can never forget for being one of my early memories of this techno rave sort of musics
This game is amazing. Great drifting, awesome cars, and the music is incredible. When I was a kid I used to just blast around the night tracks on time trial listening to the tunes. Good times.
Every single track in this soundtrack is amazing but Pearl Blue Soul will forever be the theme of my childhood. It's always the first song that is played in the grand prix (I have never changed this in the over 15 years i've been playing), marking the beginning of a new race and for me, the beginning of my love for gaming as a whole.
Somehow found this OST from the AI intro remaster. Helped me through a rough time, fixing a timing belt on an old 92 Toyota for the first time so I could move back home, this OST helped me do it. Blasted this when I was less than an hour from home after a 3 day drive.
Not a big gamer, but of all the games I have ever played, Ridge Racer 4 for the PS1 is by leaps & bounds my most favourite of all-time. Both the game itself & most def. the soundtrack, as well.
Gioco idilliaco ! La longevità è la sua pecca ma quando vi si gioca risulta immancabilmente stupendo . Se soltanto ci fossero il doppio delle piste, ossia un circuito per ogni traccia sarebbe perfetto .
I remember turning on the PSX and always let the game intro play out before I played the game. Then always selecting “naked glow” for the music for each race. My all time favorites.
I used to watch the intro and play this game just to listen to the music, no kidding. Then when the OST became available to the US I bought it and played it in my car while driving on long rides 😅
dude, I could never do that! there’s just something about tracks like The Objective and Burnin Rubber that make me wanna push the pedal to the metal - great for riding a bicycle to its limits, but I feel like I’d get pulled over 2 mins flat if I ever put this soundtrack on in the car!
I never knowed about this game, i just played AC3 and i like so much the OST, i see some people commenting about that Namco maked good ost with AC3 and Ridge Racer T4. I just have nothing to do, when come the idea to play this game and i liked a lot, theses ost so pure good. Man i love Japaneses games in PS1 era, theses guys is a genius in every aspect but when the topic is ost, theses guys are gods, they are so much creativity and ahead of our time.
My brother sadly passed away on Christmas Eve 2021 at the not so old age of 31 :( I miss him tonight… It’s times like these when I’m all alone that I think of him. He used to love gran turismo and ridge racer games, the toca series and Colin McRae rally games. All them ones. Nostalgia is like no other feeling on earth is it, My heart just got touched listening to one of these tunes, the feeling is So beautiful and sad at the same time for me listening back to old tunes from a game that we used to play 20 years ago. Music is the only thing that can transcend time and space I swear: it’s amazing what listening to music can do and the places it can take you. It’s times like these that I’m so sad, but I’m so grateful for the times that we shared when we were younger. They were good times. I wish I could remember more of them, maybe I’ll try, but in the meantime! I have this soundtrack to remember him by. Thank you uploader for bringing back great memories for me :)
yeah man. I may not have any nostalgic memories of this game, but there’s more than a few from its generation that make me feel happy in that sad kinda way.
Namco was absolutely killing it in this era not just for the games themselves, but the amazing soundtracks too. Tekken 3 and Ace Combat 3, amazing soundtracks too
I'm sad people don't know this amazing soundtrack. Not just for racing, but it is excellent electronic lounge music. Sounds so modern too!
There wasn't a single time playing this game back in the day that I didn't just sit for like a half an hour just listening to the soundtrack before actually playing the game
If you like this OST already that much without playing this...guess hooooow much you'd love after playing it :)
I just found about the soundtrack a few days ago. I cannot get enough of Lucid Rhythms by Tetsukazu Nakanishi . Fucking amazing, never thought I'd find that here (I don't know anything about Ridge Racer).
Dude, it’s the best racing game soundtrack since F-Zero X. Of course it has my seal of approval

This soundtrack had no business going this hard.
Downright Irresponsible!
Namcos sound team was killing it during this time period. Tekken 4 is also one of them legendary Namco OST
Seriously if this OST was issued on vinyl tomorrow I'd snap it up in a heartbeat 💓
I WISH
Never played this game before, just the first Ridge Racer on an arcade cabinet. Found some of these songs on a "relaxing PS1 music" playlist. Holy shit this soundtrack is fucking amazing.
can u link the playlist
@@incoopnito of course bro ua-cam.com/video/lsile6MA2QU/v-deo.html
It's a phenomenal soundtrack which hits so much harder than other games where they just use covers of other peoples' music.
I have been listening this soundtrack for more than 25 years. Masterpiece! Melbourne today just announced the sixth snap lockdown for 7 days. I would like to go out for a ride after it finishes.
Hello from frence and stay strong things are hella bad whit all the restriction law they made=/
keep it up, man - we’ll get through this!
feel ya buddy :)
8:36 Simply the best.
every song in this soundtrack is HEAT
IT'S RIDGE RACER!
RIIIIIIIDDDGEEE RACEEER!!!
REMEMBER THAT ONE?
I do :'(
I spent all my teenage days on this game! OST was written by Hiroshi Okubo, which I met and I'm grateful for this! Thank you Namco!!
I remember my mom playing this game with me, i was like 4 years old maybe 5 and she completed the game with all the cars, sadly the disc didnt load the game anymore now im 21, last time i saw my mom playing a game was gran turismo 6 with me hahaha
your moms fuckin cool dude
Motor Species is the hypest hype. I remember turning those corners on Helter Skelter just vibing to that as a 7 year old. Time flies.
I was born in 1995 and my brother in 1979. I remember being a kid and playing r4 with him, i would always pick the grey/blue car because of the intro! Jesus, the nostalgy. Thank you so much for uploading memories from my childhood

Also from 95 here, and SAME. I loved that gray and blue lined car so much.😢
We must’ve been like what? 6 years old? I don’t remember.
Very nice!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😀
Ridge Racer Type 4, is the best.👍

Ich war damals noch zu jung um das Spiel zu verstehen aber ich bin gefahren weil es mir spass geamcht hatte. Die zeit will ich wieder haben

Sucks to get old... :-(
It does, PS1 gaming was so ground breaking and took up so much of my teen years, hard to believe it was 22 years ago when I got my first PlayStation.
Charles Jones Agreed. I miss those days.
Not at all!!! Cherish your memories and be thankful to have them. You can even play the game again! I'm replaying the Megaman X saga (while my kids are sleeping...) and I've had a blast :)
i feel you brother
your right just want to step inside a time machine when this game first came out!

its on the ps5 now!!!
and still amazing. btw
the controls were by far the most garbage controls in the history of humanity but the game was nice
Beautiful music/game.. timeless memories... 1997-.........
1998
1999
So true
this gives me so much nostalgia it almost hurts 😢
Sameee
47:44 was always an epic song for striving for first place during this race. Beautiful sound track and game. Would love a remake for this game.
Dude YES… especially that little middle section where it slows down, that part stabs me in the chest with a knife of nostalgia! Takes me back to being 6years old..
The 90s were the best years of my life & this soundtrack is one of those reasons/nostalgic
BlurthaLegend Same here, I miss the good old days sometimes and I am not even that old.

Mesmerising soundtrack
My personal favorite racing game of this generation of gaming.
RRT4 Forever. Best Game Ever. ❤
The soundtrack is amazing but the level of aesthetic detail in the menu screens / interstitial screens were also incredible. The only game that compares is Wipeout 2097.
28:27 - 29:17 Sublime
Daaaamn bro okay.
So true
Absolutely one of the best soundtracks to a game. Nostalgic as hell too listening to it now. Lol who remembers this on a demo disc from the late 90’s? 😅
Demo disc Volume 10 in North America. Played the shit out of that demo disc as a kid
we had one, with the night stage in the port (can't remember the name). But the music did not strike me at the time.
Wow Ridge racer is top tier forsure, timeless as well
The first racing game I ever completed and in some ways my first introduction as a kid to 90's dance/house music. I love this sound track!
Incredibly influential.
Tears from my eyes hearing again this song (i dont lie) my favorite game ever!!!!
My past self would not belive me if I'd tell him that I'd be still listening to this in 2020...
2021, almost 22 here
@@LuigiIrace and still listening and chillin'
never stop listening, ridge racer
@@LeoPlayok you've been listening and chillin for 25 years?
@@Rochester92G indeed. And I still keep chillin 😁
Forgot all about this one.... the original ridge racer soundtrack can never forget for being one of my early memories of this techno rave sort of musics
Bought the game a week ago because of the soundtrack. Its so good, and Im so glad I picked it up!
What memories. Drifting and banging soundtrack.
I used to blast this whenever I'm taking a shower lol
it’s amazing workout & post-workout shower music
this OST was my intro jungle and 90s dnb. never looked back since.
I love the build-up on The Objective 43:03. Always made the last part of the race intense.
This game is amazing. Great drifting, awesome cars, and the music is incredible. When I was a kid I used to just blast around the night tracks on time trial listening to the tunes. Good times.
This is PEAK late 90s
Damn this is incredible. Entered my top Video Game OSTs and close to my top 100 albums. Crazy
Every single track in this soundtrack is amazing but Pearl Blue Soul will forever be the theme of my childhood. It's always the first song that is played in the grand prix (I have never changed this in the over 15 years i've been playing), marking the beginning of a new race and for me, the beginning of my love for gaming as a whole.
this, metal gear solid, final fantasy vii and crash bandicoot were the best part of my chilhood for sure
3:17 this song will always be a banger
This is in my opinion the BEST race car soundtrack ever by far!
This is the rank for me:
1- Ridge Racer 4
2- Sega Rally
3- Daytona USA
Greeting for those who used to play this master piece
Still one of the greatest soundtracks of all time

By the way, I am also a huge AC Milan Fan
Yes! RR4 is also my favorite game of all time and I didn't even grow up with it! I love the music and the style so much, it's perfect
god man this is so nostalgic
best racin game OST
LiangHuBBB Gonna have to agree. They really perfected RR with 4.
Rollcage would like to rival that
It's right up there, but Rage Racer, Wip3out and Wipeout Fusion are also in the mix (pun intended) :)
I used to absolutely love this game as a teen - would play it before and after school. I love the soundtracks from 90s videos games :)
The music and overall aesthetic of this game go a long way towards making it my favorite RR game. The racing itself being incredibly fun helps too!
Oh... memories on PS 1 :-)
2step garage, deep house and intelligent DnB
I played this game 23 years ago... 😅one of the best of my favorites...
