REAL RACING ROOTS '99 IN.... Ridge Racer Type 4 thread
I want to FUCK reiko
>>11487570So is the DRT Lizard Nightmare the undisputed TA champion for every track other than Shooting Hoops?

RTS>your shitty hugbox of a club
I am a GT1 guy but rr4 is very kino
R4's cars are so damn beautiful. Quite a few of them are more on the obscure side, too. Whoever modeled them knew their stuff and had great taste.
25 years later, still listening to "Your Vibe"
One of the first racing game that impressed me was this. Ps2 and dreamcast had good ones too though

>>11489663It's definitely up there. This and racing lagoon should be in clubs everywhere
>>11489663>>11489708Yep. Also Parasite Eve
>>11487814I hate RR4 cars, they look like frankensteins. Porsche 911 rear lights on several different models from different manufacturers is appaling.Ridge Racer V had the best cars.
>>11491439>they look like frankensteinsThat's the point, you dumb boring autistic faggot.
>>11491439Best looking Ridge Racer Type 4 cars are the starting cars and the devil cars. Everything in between is just awful and doesn't follow manufacturer theme. Every manufacturer has a 911 lookalike for some reason.
>>11491446>they look like shit on purposeWow great idea
>>11491439RRT4 cars are my least favorite in the entire franchise except RR64 but I don't consider that one a true RR game. The devs clearly didn't bother.
>>11491453If I wanted to see a Testarossa, a Civic and a 911 for the Nth time I'd look at a catalogue.
>>11487570why does picrel have the best gameplay in the franchise?
>>11491468R4 has a dozen of 911 in various states of disfigurement and a couple of Testarossas. What's your point?
>>11491471You should play the rest before jumping to wrong conclusions
>>11491479>a dozen of 911Get your eyes checked. A lot of real life cars have similar headlight designs.
>>11491483i have. have you played RR64?
>>11491493What about the rear lights? Check the manufacturer names on the pic, lmao
>>11491527Holy kek is this real?
>>11491527Yes this is what I mean. In Rage Racer every car was unique and every maker had their own theme.
Need more games with the stupidly cool sense of style that Ridge Racer Type 4 has. You can just feel the confidence.
>>11491502WDYM "have you played RR64"? How would I have known that it's not that good if I didn't play it?
>>11491557you made the same assumption about me, dipshit
>>11491565It's called an educated guess. A person who has played several Ridge Racer games is very unlikely to name RR64 as having the best gameplay.
>>11491578i'm guessing most RR fans haven't played RR64 and just assume it's bad because it wasn't developed by Namco. and i'm still not convinced you've actually played it
>>11491439>>11491449I will not accept slander of the Squalo or Destroyer. But yeah, many of the designs feel phoned in, especially the Age Solos.
>>11491585I am not a Ridge Racer fan but I have played all of them. I like Rave, Rage and V the most. As an example, name anything that RR64 does better than those.
>>11491615there's other boards if you wanna discuss modern games, big guy
>>11491619Which modern games? I didn't mention any.
>>11487570My 2nd most favorite original Playstation game. I'm glad a former friend offered to have it preordered for me from her store. Even when it was not easy for me to gather $60USD of back then money, I am glad I did for the game experience that just vibes with me.>>11489663Most definitely, I keep the OST in the car for long trips. I only ever really skip the Pac-Man song, but otherwise everything else is gold to me on the OST.
>>11491642you must have a negcon right?
>>11491585>>11491615Where did the RR64 anon go when they were asked a simple question?
>>11491659this is a RRT4 thread, take your gay little slap fight somewhere else
>>11491674Go back to your RRT4 reddit or whatever safe space you have if you are afraid of other RR games being discussed
>>11491654R4 is playable without it too. Every now and then I just don't feel like pausing the action so the JogCon can recalibrate itself. It is playable even with a standard controller, but having analog controls does feel like there's a more granular and more refined steering.
>>11491527Is this real?
Why are tendies unable to give praise to titles not released on other systems? They'll go as far as to latch on the ugly duckling of the series as long as they have the Nintendo seal of quality
>>11491527Only the Troop is a 911. The other two are an Eunos Cosmo and a Renault Alpine V6.
>>11492169....with 911 rear lights lol
>>11492269Do you also think any car with pop-up headlights is a Cord 810, you daft retard?
>>11492320NTA but that's literally the porsche 911 tail lights here >>11491527 you blind fuck
>>11491527wtf were they thinking?
>>11492402Doesn't mean the entire fucking cars are modeled after the 911, you imbecile.
>>11492320You're so thick...
>>11491527what's the issue? car manufacturers copy successful models in real life all the time too
>>11492413Yep, I've commented about this already. They probably were trying to outdo GT but ran out of ideas.
>Zooms complaining about cars looking the sameDid you fags ever play the original RR and its sequel?>>11489663It's in the top 10 of all time for sure.
>>11492434>Zoomer compares phoned in RRT4 cars to RR1 classics
>>11492447>Nigger with no argument compares RRT4 classics to RRV >>11491439Get lost.
>>11492447Type 4 cars may be on the lazy side but at least they are much better than Ridge Racer 64 toy cars
>>11492454RRV cars are the best for sure. Pure sex.
>>11492479>he missed the best oneagree but c'mon
>>11492479They are good, just not as good as the Bisonte, Starlight, Rondine and Squalo.
>>11492479I love how they reimagined the RR1-2-Rave cars and even threw in the Dirt Dash car as well
>Ridge Racer Type 4 thread>People keep looking for excuses to discuss any RR except RRT4niggers
>>11492492Red Lightning isn't even remotely similar to the Himmel.
>>11492495It's more like people keep seething about R4 to the point of trying to create infighting by comparing games in the series in a failed attempt to slander it.
Post gameplay faggots.
>>11492530
>>11492530I'm gonna play it again tonight.
>>11492492Yes, it feels and looks like a love letter to the arcade Ridge Racers, specifically Rave Racer.>>11492498Looks very similar to me.
>>11487570https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBWKwbjj020This song is the first thing in my music folder alphabetically, so whenever I open foobar and forget to turn on shuffle this is what I hear.
>>11492534You don't even need to drift through the chicanes, git gud
>>11492541RL is a Supra at the back and a Celica GT4 ST205 at the front (albeit without the two smaller headlights). The Himmel is a 911 Turbo and the back sweeps down much lower than the RL.
Here's the Rave Racer Supra, which is much closer to the RL than the Himmel.
>>11492552>The Himmel is a 911 TurboThe Himmel is not a 911 Turbo other than having a boxer engine and RR layout canonically. It has a lower profile, front lights are different, side windows are different, front window is much steeper and back window is vertical like Ferraris.In fact, it looks more like a Dino 206 GT with a widebody kit and different rear lights.
>>11492590Anon, it's a Japanese game. They like Porsches a lot more than Dinos. The Himmel has a boxer engine located at the back, the manufacturer is German and even the concept art was a 911 with some fancy bits on top.
>>11491615i told you already, the gameplay. also, your weird argumentative way of posting suggests you're just making shit up. RR64 genuinely just handles better than any RR i've ever played>i'm not a fan>but i've played every single onesure
>>11492608Do you have to be a fan to play all the games? I'm not a fan of cod but I've played a bunch.Fan means fanatic, by the way. I think this was lost somewhere in the past 10 years.
>>11489708I find Racing Lagoon a more enjoyable game than Ridge Racer 4. It has music on the same level but the driving physics are more challenging, the graphics are better and the story is more engaging than RR4s number of skippable dialogue still screens. Also it has unmatched night city driving vibe. RL is only ruined by shitty pacing of grinding the same short roads over and over again. RR4 Gran Prix mode is a quick arcade-like breeze through its eight tracks. I have no idea why they decided to add "a story" to it in the first place.
>>11492601You've posted an EO from a different game. RRV Himmel doesn't look like a 911 as seen here >>11492590
>>11492620>story is more engaging than RR4sIt really isn't. It's the very typical "miffed bachelors want to race illegally" set dressing.
>>11492624It's not a fucking Dino 206, anon. Jesus Christ.
>>11492625Maybe I should've said "storytelling". But the story itself is cool too. Illegal tuning, drivers going crazy, childhood friends getting hurt. It's better than 6th gen Need for Speed games for sure.
>>11492631I didn't say it's literally a Dino 206 GT. I said it looks more like a Dino than a 911 which is evident from the picture. Don't get so worked up over this.
>>11492612the guy is claiming he's played EVERY game, not just a bunch. which is probably bullshit anyway so he can think he "won" an internet argument
>>11492552>The Himmel is a 911 TurboThe Himmel looks like a 911 Turbo the same way as TVR Cerbera looks like a 911 Turbo - not very much.
>>11492647That was me and I admit that I haven't played Unbound and the 3DS one yet. Not sure if I want to. But the rest, yes, I've played them all.
>>11492643It's a 993 variation of the 911 at the rear with a 994 straight front, if you really want to be pedantic about it. The rear lights are probably inspired by the Datsun 240z of equal fame, and the windows are artistic liberties.>>11492670Removing unique IDs really was a disaster for this place.
>>11492685Now look at the EO pictures and try to find any 911 looking detail. Even the headlights are completely different and look more like the Dino.
>>11492685This doesn't look like The Himmel at all unless you find all cars with round headlamps similar. Hence the Cerbera reference.
>>11491471Desert tracks in RR64 don't fit the RR theme and make me want to play NFS3 instead which has much cooler desert tracks.
>>11492726this guy here probably does >>11491527
>>11492716What's next? The Rivelta isn't inspired by the Testarossa even though anyone who's normal agrees that it is?
>>11492731I think they have a point. 993 rear with the way its reverse lights are located within the "bar" is instantly recognizable and looks like that pic. I don't know any other car that looks like this. That Cosmo example by other anon is very different.
>>11492741Rivelta and Testarossa have the same general shape though. Don't make a strawman.
>>11492620>RL is only ruined by shitty pacing of grinding the same short roads over and over againYou don't have to grind anything. You control the buttons you press, fren.
>>11492756Same strawman you made here >>11492590 casually ignoring the fact that the front and rear bumpers, wheel arches and brake ventilation ducts of the Himmel looks nothing like a 206?
>>11492726Imo Himmel E.O. is supposed to be the Ridge Racer world equivalent of the 911, going by the German name and boxer engine but the look more inspired by various euro sport cars like Dino 246, Lotus Europa and Lambo Miura. Not 1:1 just the general idea and a modern body kit.
>>11492763You are correct about the wheel arches but c'mon>front and rear bumpersI literally said 'a widebody kit'.
autism/o/ thread
>>11492716Wait this anon is onto something
>>11492769>Ridge Racer world equivalent of the 911Pretty much, hence why they're fictional cars, but the autists refuse to understand something that is obviously referencing a car while not being a straight copy of it. No abstraction whatsoever.
>>11492779>reverse image searchedOkay this Dino 246 is even more similar than the 206 that I've mentioned.
>>11492786>>11492779>>11492776Still isn't one. "Bodykit" is a strawman because you know they don't look the same.
>>11492731The point was not about RRT4 having a 911, it was about RRT4 having three different car manufacturers sharing the same 911 rear lights. In Rage Racer the manufacturers were much more distinct and each car followed a general theme unique to its manufacturer.
>>11492823>don't look the sameNow show me my comment where I said they look the same. I only remember saying "similar" and "looks more like a Dino than a 911" which is confirmed by the pictures above. It was you who literally said "The Himmel IS the 911 Turbo".
>>11492823That was me >>11492779 and I agree with the dino anon. 911 is a fucking stretch
>>11492831Of course it's going to "look more like" a Dino if you pretend it has a "bodykit" to handwave the fact that they look nothing alike except for your precious headlights.Just so you know, the actual bodykit version of the Himmel is also in the game and it looks even closer to the 993 RUF CTR2, so I don't know why you want to die on this weird hill.
Gran Turismo and its consequences have been a disaster.
>>11487576fpbp
>>11492847>it looks even closer to the 993 RUF CTR2CTR2 does not gave the Himmels low profile, it's still the same 911.
>>11493719And neither 911 nor its deriatives have Ferrari style rear window.
>>11493719>>11493727That's called artistic liberty, as stated before.
>>11491439They don't like you either
>>11492778Youre mad your "culture" didn't make this
>>11492620Racing Lagoon might be the coolest 5thgen racing game. Not 'the best' - this goes to either of the GT games, but the coolest one. Pure poetry.
>>11492620>>11493821I really should sit down and give it another go.
>>11492728>Desert tracks in RR64 don't fit the RR themeThat's because RR is nip as fuck and shoehorning desert track in every single racing game possible is an American thing. RR64 was made in USA after all
>>11491674The problem with RRT4 threads is that there is nothing to discuss if you exclude other games.
>>11495486i think that had more to do with the particular anon they were replying to being a spazz
>>11495497Yeah there's some weirdo who keeps bitching in R4 threads while praising RR64. Specifically R4 threads, for some reason.
The jogcon is more enjoyable than the negcon but the default config is awful. 0 dead zone, 45 degree turn and normal force feedback is best.
>>11487576her character is funny because it goes along with the marketing to the growing male audience at the time. The music that goes "he gives me what I need", the intro where her panties fall out of her pant leg. They really just put a girl in so they could go like omg player your racing makes me so wet. I'm not gonna pretend it didnt work on me we need more blatant pandering like this
>>11498828I was unironically kinda sad when I saw some of the newer ridge racers did away with the hot girl marketing and just had a car on the cover. Lame
FINE! I'LL LISTEN TO THE R4 SOUNDTRACK AGAIN AT FULL BLAST
>>11498828Re-watching the intro as an adult, it's really blatant. Especially the way Reiko smiles, bites her lip, then smiles again before getting in the car. Pretend I attached a Gosling image to this post.
>>11498828>>11498832>>11499450R4 truly makes no qualms about being based.
