True, most notably the lighting, which makes a huge difference. I still prefer the graphics of the 6 years older 1993 arcade-version of Ridge Racer 1, tho.
Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Need for speed, nostalgia pura, que afortunado haber crecido con los mejores juegos de carreras, la vieja escuela nunca morirá :')
Other than the music, the transitions in the menu screen is the best thing about this game...it tells you how much soul the production team put into the game.
I used to really love this game, in fact I still have it sat on my shelf. Watching this makes me wanna load it up again and play it for old times sake. My favourite race was always the one where you race through the airport at night, it was always really atmospheric I thought.
If I had this game in my life as a kid, I'm positive I'd be a different person. I even had a PS1 but didn't know about this game. The music, the racing, the physics... I'm tempted to play it for the first time right now!
Para mí este Ridge Racer, junto al original, es aún uno de los mejores que han salido de esta emblemática saga. Y de la banda sonora, no es necesario decir nada... simplemente sublime! Saludos..:-)
Heh, I remember when I was a kid and playing this for the first time and being so amazed at the visuals, especially the trails made by the break lights. And then years later, I played it again and blitzed the game in about an hour. Still utterly impressed with the game and the music. My god, the music.
-Music -Gameplay -Atmostphere - It even had story and different teams you could play with ! Fuck, even the menu design and the commentator voice Everything was soawesome, miles away from it's time ! Why the Hell can't Namco make a new RR like this one ?? Make the exact game ( or something like the intro movie ) i dont care ! JUST TAKE MY MONEY ! Why Namco ? Why ?? You took Fun and made it UNfun ! WHY ?
They were really trying to push the Playstation with this one. If i remember right they were aiming for 60 FPS gameplay but couldn't do it without sacrificing the graphics too much.
Gosh, I remember playing this game back in primary. It's the only car racing game I've ever liked up to this day. I wish they would remaster this for the PS4...
Here's the last era for classic Ridge Racer era (1993-1998), in the beginning of Gouraud-style graphic before 6th gen era & 2000s PC game era. The soundtrack are finest and definite solid. Atleast NAMCO IPs appears on this game very unique such as Tekken, Ace Combat, Klonoa, Pole Position, Galaxian/Galaga, Pac-Man, Mappy, Dig Dug, SoulCalibur and more.
This brings back so many memories. A long time ago I chose r.t.s with assoluto and a obtained the bisonte for the 2nd stage and when I advanced to the 3rd I ended up obtaining the regalo it only happened once I could never do it again
Part 2… I have other car race games, but this RRT 4 will always be in my heart forever! I'll get you back some day my good friend RRT 4, even though I live on the other side of the world!!
This game brings back so many good memories. A friend let me borrow this after he was done, and I played the shit out of it. Did all four teams. so much fun.
Damn I spend lot's of time during my summer with this game when I bought it. Really awesome racing game. Getting new cars was fun, soundtrack was great & Reiko Nanase is so cute.
See, I'd really like to play this right now, because it genuinely looks like massive fun. You don't get this kind of happiness from Forza or modern Gran Tourismo titles.
....I played this wonderful RRT 4 game 13 years ago, sadly I didn't bring it with me when I left the UK 13 yrs ago, it's still in a storage facility, I haven't been back for 13 years now, wonder what condition it’s in. I remember it was in its plastic case, so should be alright, watching this clip on YT brings great memories of hours of play all those years ago. Part 2 below…
one of the best racing games ever! =D its a shame that such a series goes so bad today. namco should do much more work on the enviroment and style because this is the true potential of ridge racer.since Ridge racer 5 with the nitro boost they totaly forget the music ,the beauty and even the story. =( ridge racer type 4 was the best one because they put some story in which is really good . even the cars looks much more realistic than in ridge racer games today . i want the old style back , namco!
Thanks for the vid. I needed a reminder, as I'm trying to decided whether to download it on my PS4. I still have the free keyring that came with this game originally, attached to my car keys.
OMG I LOVE THIS GAME i used to play it as a kid, when i first bought my PS1 with my own money, i used to stop at the same track imagining i was picking up the girl then go for the finish line hahahah xD
Does anyone know how to do the unloack all cars cheaton this game? It says on the internet that I should put in a code at the halfway point of the frist race of the Gran Preix. Any help?
Out Run, Top Gear, Gran Turismo 2, Ridge Racer Type 4, Metropolis Street Racer, NFS Most Wanted, Forza Motorsport 4 son joyas que recomiendo jugar si te gustan los juegos de autos. No se si algún nombre se me escapa...
This is and always will be my favorite game in the world since i was a kid and even now is still my favorite the greatest racing game of all i miss it so much i think this is the game i want for christmas definitely i gotta get that game and really keep it this time
Awesome longplay. I LOVE this game. Also, I tried opening the bonus video on the website and it won't work with any of my MKV players. Any idea what's up?

the way namco create the final race and ended the final lap with happy new year on the screen is always my favorite part in R4
Namco stepped their game up big time on Type 4, these graphics are impressive even today.
True, most notably the lighting, which makes a huge difference.
I still prefer the graphics of the 6 years older 1993 arcade-version of Ridge Racer 1, tho.
It still age well by today standard
Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Need for speed, nostalgia pura, que afortunado haber crecido con los mejores juegos de carreras, la vieja escuela nunca morirá :')
I was with 6 years old playing this one and beating it!!!!! Now I'm watching this and I'm near to tears... What a lovely memory :')
OMG, same here
same
you had amazing games back then I wish I could play these kind of games
Same here brother, the year was 1999 and i used to get so excited whenever i unlocked a new car with all the truck reloading/unveiling the car and all
4 years old, now I’m about to turn 20 tomorrow. Sigh lol.
this ridge racer had the best original soundtrack
hands down
Agree
I still listen to the intro, feels like a real song.
I love the menu style of this game, the music overall is absolutely amazing
you know you're a badass when you can stop mid race, pick-up a chick, and still have time to win!!
All I'm hoping is that the racer got a date from Reiko after winning the championship (or at least her number). I am not sorry for thinking that.
Other than the music, the transitions in the menu screen is the best thing about this game...it tells you how much soul the production team put into the game.
One of the best soundtracks ever on the PS1. This, Warhawk, Chrono Chross and FF7.
and Tekken 3
And Spyro

They need to remaster this and re release it
lol considering today is 9/19/2018 they kinda listened to you
was here to say that. ps1 mini is almost here.
@Gibbon and it's trash
Heh, I remember when I was a kid and playing this for the first time and being so amazed at the visuals, especially the trails made by the break lights.

Ridge Racer Type 4 > ridge racer unbounded
Past Namco > future Namco
WTF!!?? These MusiC COMPOSERS ARE JUST OFF THE WAAALLS!!! 22:30 11:22
-Music
-Gameplay
-Atmostphere
- It even had story and different teams you could play with !
Fuck, even the menu design and the commentator voice
Everything was soawesome, miles away from it's time !
Why the Hell can't Namco make a new RR like this one ?? Make the exact game ( or something like the intro movie ) i dont care ! JUST TAKE MY MONEY !
Why Namco ? Why ?? You took Fun and made it UNfun ! WHY ?
SimplyMyselfication maybe because they have been eaten by Bandai :(
+SimplyMyselfication everyone play shooter now :(
and at that time,R4 has better graphic than Gran Turismo 2
Amar Haiqal fuck no.

THIS GAME WAS LITERALLY MY CHILDHOOD.
0:53 の靴が駄目になって素足で移動する民を 1:37 の2番のレーシングカーが救うプロローグが尊い。👠
Good lord, the music in this game. How cool!
this game still looks amazing for a ps1 game!
i fnished this game 3 years ago man you bring back memories
This game is now on the PlayStation Classic.
*but no Dual-shock controller made it stank a bit SONY* 👎🏻
R4 is an excellent racing game. And i ever won the game thousand times with all except DRT.
The most iconic opening for any RR game imo
*amazing race game worth buying a PS 1 for and for MGS for!* ⭐️ ❤️ ⭐️
I like how the intro runs at 30 fps compared to the other ps1 games with 20 fps full motion video.
I'm in tears memories
omg i wish i was young again
HERE WE GO! IT'S SHOW TIME!!!!
The final lap, keep it calm
Ah! what a memory! I played this when i was in grade 2!!
I loved the multiplayer mode!!
This game is so amazing much better than nowadays games
This is beautiful.
"ASSOLUTO" oh man this brings back memories....forever young man
Amazing Soundtrack
I'm not ashamed to say I bought my Atenza because it looks like a RR car...
This takes me back to my college days.
This brings back so many memories. A long time ago I chose r.t.s with assoluto and a obtained the bisonte for the 2nd stage and when I advanced to the 3rd I ended up obtaining the regalo it only happened once I could never do it again
Part 2… I have other car race games, but this RRT 4 will always be in my heart forever! I'll get you back some day my good friend RRT 4, even though I live on the other side of the world!!
easily...EASILY one of my favourite PSone games, and i still own it!!! Great story, visuals, and just....fantastic soundtrack!!
now i want to play it again. its so old and so much fun! ^^ i still remember my first time beating the final race as a child. memories...
Awesome graphics , soundtrack and game overall. But my fav in this game is the storyline of every team, especially rts.
One of the best soundtracks EVER
I loved the intro. But the gameplay, physics, etc wasnt my thing. I was a TOCA and Colin Mcrea guy.
Quite an impressive technical achievement on the PS1. Great game!
i love the music used in this game
This game brings back so many good memories. A friend let me borrow this after he was done, and I played the shit out of it. Did all four teams. so much fun.
Damn I spend lot's of time during my summer with this game when I bought it.
Really awesome racing game.
Getting new cars was fun, soundtrack was great & Reiko Nanase is so cute.
This reminds me when back in the day the playstation was awesome! Good memories. Nice Vid! One of the best racing arcade games ever made!
I love that song Quiet Curves; I heard it from my PSP version first. I had no idea it was in the PS1. 11:14
See, I'd really like to play this right now, because it genuinely looks like massive fun. You don't get this kind of happiness from Forza or modern Gran Tourismo titles.
I do not know if it is because we are getting old, but games today are not that fun like PS1 days.
Back in the day, we dream to drive 3D cars like that or if could ever be possible.
Now is even better :D
Never played it, but it looking very atmospheric and very impressive for PS.
Im' m not a fan of the racing games , but this was awesome at the time . got the original one , and is still a great game today
the best soundtrack for a game EVER
This looks so impressive for a psx title!
Agreed. The fireworks in the final stage have always impressed me!
I elevated my game just so I wouldn't have to face an angry crew chief.
....I played this wonderful RRT 4 game 13 years ago, sadly I didn't bring it with me when I left the UK 13 yrs ago, it's still in a storage facility, I haven't been back for 13 years now, wonder what condition it’s in.

The best in the series.

music at 47:06 told me that shit was about to get real
Heaven & hell was the hardest track !
+tuco ramirez I still have Nightmares of that track...
+tuco ramirez hate that track thou....
Out of Blue are worse!
That sharp left turn made me lose so many times
Thanks for the vid. I needed a reminder, as I'm trying to decided whether to download it on my PS4. I still have the free keyring that came with this game originally, attached to my car keys.
How did you get it on your ps4?
My bad. It's downloadable on the PS3.
My favourite Ridge Racer game and the last of a great series, the following games just feel the same
Team Mappy and proud
OMG I LOVE THIS GAME i used to play it as a kid, when i first bought my PS1 with my own money, i used to stop at the same track imagining i was picking up the girl then go for the finish line hahahah xD
Let's watch some more Ridge Racer and this is going to be fun :)
Perhaps you can try Pac Racing Team and Terrazi as my suggestion.
thank you for playing this masterpiece so i can focus on my homework.
I'm thinking about taking that portion about the rules and adding the missing audio in. We'll see.
PocketStation programmer? I googled that, it seems like the VMU from the DreamCast, but was only released in Japan... Interesting.
great arcade style racing series. easy to pick up and go.
Awesome Game that brings back old great times !!!
Does anyone know how to do the unloack all cars cheaton this game? It says on the internet that I should put in a code at the halfway point of the frist race of the Gran Preix.
Any help?
I love it!
I just finish this game today... So AWESOMEE 😍 😍 😍
WOW What team you finish?
RTS
MMM
DRT
PRC
?
@@Mx64MaxyImpress i used PRC Terrazi
RR4 is best RR. Best main mode, best classic gameplay, defintally the best music.
@ValisHD and again ... this was the awesome 90s . XD
nice chilled out music
Great game and music!
MY MOST FAVORITE RACING GAME EVER!!!!!!!
Out Run, Top Gear, Gran Turismo 2, Ridge Racer Type 4, Metropolis Street Racer, NFS Most Wanted, Forza Motorsport 4 son joyas que recomiendo jugar si te gustan los juegos de autos. No se si algún nombre se me escapa...
We have to wait in this month on Ridge Racer 30th Anniversary
This is and always will be my favorite game in the world since i was a kid and even now is still my favorite the greatest racing game of all i miss it so much i think this is the game i want for christmas definitely i gotta get that game and really keep it this time
this game is fucking epic..always choose japan team.Their story lane is fucking awesome. I feel like Hero when finish this game..
Still waiting on Ridge Racer PS4, namco/Namco Bandai...
Or even ps5
O Ride racer Typ 4 é um jogo que eu adoro do fundo do coração
memories...
:')
Awesome longplay. I LOVE this game.
Also, I tried opening the bonus video on the website and it won't work with any of my MKV players. Any idea what's up?
What better way to celebrate Y2K than to win a championship!
I REMEMBER THIS GAME WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THIS FOR MY PS1 IN 1999 I BEAT THE GAME WITH THE LADY OWNER
The Edge Of The Earth tracks give me PTSD flashback
Heaven and Hell for me
Amazing game, but if there was one thing I'd change, I'd make it brighter. It's a very dark game. I turn up the brightness on my tv each time I play.
The 1st two ridge racer games were so bright. This one goes for realistic shading, but all I care about is the gameplay and being easy to see.
lol she sings "I feel the need for speed" real bad marketing over here haha. game is a legend
"Playstation X" the code name for the ps1 while it was in development
@Zontar82 i mean Crash Bandicoot 2, NFS 5 was Porshe NFS (same people did the music as NFS 4 High Stakes)
PSX games has best soundtrack than others.
This game is in the top 5 street racing game for ps2
1 More Win Kimara Lovelace love this song!!"
