On this day in 1998 Namco celebrated the PlayStation's 4th birthday by releasing the 4th and final Ridge Racer game for the system: R4. One of the best looking, best playing racers on any console this generation, R4 was an incredible swan song for PSX! #Namco #R4 #RidgeRacer
Racing Evolution - The Rise and Fall of Ridge Racer
In the early 90s Namco's Ridge Racer was one of the most important games in the world. Leading the way in the arcades with bleeding edge technology, then becoming a flagship launch title for the…

On this day in 1996 Namco released Rage Racer on the Sony PlayStation. This felt like a true departure from the arcade roots of Ridge Racer, introducing car mods, rudimentary setup options, a paint booth, and a campaign mode. Great stuff! #Namco #RidgeRacer

35 years ago today Namco followed up its smash hit Ridge Racer with a PlayStation-specific sequel: Ridge Racer Revolution. While it improved upon the original in almost every way, some people complained that it felt like a full-priced mission pack. #Namco #RidgeRacer
