RIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER EVERYBODY!
Hell yeah Riiiiidge Racer!
When you were a 10 or 11 year old kid and put your disc in your beautiful PSone, you only wanted a few things: Fun, a challenge, some nice sounds and good GFX.
Ridge Racer Type 4 for me was this experience.
It is amazing how in its time a game with 32mb or something around that much of GFX Ram felt like the most realistic game. For a kid it had the best graphics ever. Before playing this game again after so many years, my first thought was this is the wrong game. The game I remembered looked way better, but I knew this is the same game. The colors were exiting, the sounds were cool, and the graphics were phenomenal. Yeah, for a kid they were like that. Still to this day when I compare it to its time it feels the same way. I was playing the game and noticed the greatness of the Ridge Racer series in less than a minute. I in fact can totally understand Kaz's famous quote. If I was there I would get up and cheer the hell out of that quote. Ridge Racer, at least back in the day, did what it was supposed to do. BE FUN. I could sit down and play the game all day long and never get tired. Soundtracks were fabulous and unforgettable (Just like Bayonetta).
Nowadays you don't find many fun games anymore, maybe we as gamers have way too high expectations, but this is how it is now. I just wish we could get back to roots and make more games like Bayonetta, LBP, castle crashers, etc….Everything is so serious this generation that I barely ever go back to my games, not even MGS4 (I played MGS3 5 times and PO 3 times).
Looking back sometimes is sad, I could never imagine disliking a Final Fantasy game so much like XIII. We have lost something in between the 6th and 7th generation and I believe Jack and Dexter are also one reason for the whole thing. I mean come on; R&C has nothing on Jack and Dexter. What happened to Call Of Duty? I loved that game. What happened?
But for now, to celebrate the good old times, I'm playing Ridge Racer Type 4. I recommend you do too if you are one of the few gamers who haven't played this jewel. Go and buy it. You can still find it lying around somewhere waiting to be discovered by somebody who will love it.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
