Ridge Racer Died in 2006! But At Least It Died a Good Death
212Ridge Racer is one of the best arcade racing game franchises of all time and Ridge Racer 7 is one of the best PS3 games IMO. It’s retro games royalty and rivals what Sega did with Daytona USA. It’s one of the best arcade games of all time! and you gotta love what Namco did with Ridge Racer 7 on PS3...which is retro gaming these days! I swear! It's a PS3 hidden gem too imo because I rarely hear people mention it!

It's high time we talked about the Ridge Racer franchise on the channel, as its basically one of the most successful video game franchises ever made! But this is Video Game Esoterica...so we are going to be talking about this Ridge Racer retrospective a bit differently. From Ridge Racer to R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 to Rave Racer and Rage Racer with stops along the way for the PSP Ridge Racer Games, the Xbox 360 Ridge Racer 6 and of course Ridge Racer 7 on PS3! Plus more!
PS1 was my first 3D console ever and I still fondly remember it as being one of the best pieces of retro gaming hardware around!
Up Next: Ridge Racer 7 on PlayStation 3. Sure the arcades had a ton of awesome racing games and some would even be considered arcade hidden gems but IMO the console games like Ridge Racer 7 100% hold their own!
Namco had a TON of awesome games on PS3 and had a ton of awesome arcade games in the Ridge Racer franchise but Ridge Racer 7 is the end of the line for mainline games sadly!
I played this in RPCS3 via PS3 emulation...which works great!
