What would you like to see in a new Ridge Racer game?

As someone who's only played RR2 PSP, but very extensively, I have a few ideas I would like to see in a new Ridge Racer:

  • Add sprint (Point A-B) tracks on top of circuits
  • Add some Eurobeat/Eurobeat adjacent music in the mix
  • Add a day/dawn/dusk/night toggle, purely for aesthetics
  • Add a mode where nitrous is prohibited
  • Add grip class cars back in
  • Add the ability to customise lap numbers (e.g. from 2-5 laps) outside of campaign

They're some of the ones I was able to throw out off the top of my head.

What are some of your ideas?

Break Out Fire feat. Ridge Racer 2

You're right, Eurobeat does improve your drifting in racing games.

P.S. I wish a new Ridge Racer game will come out, hopefully with an AE86 inspired car too.

Does anybody here play any Ridge Racer game with Eurobeat?

As somebody who has sunk hours into Ridge Racer 2 on the PSP, I pretty much always play it while jamming to Eurobeat. It suits it quite damn well indeed.

I know it may not be super on topic. But Ridge Racer was also influenced by Touge racing.

Did the ANZACs fight for a White Australia like White Nationalists claim?

It is increasingly common for Australian White Nationalists to claim that the ANZACs fought for an Australia with a White supermajority, and for the White Australia Policy.

I recall that per Peter Cochrane's Best We Forget, racial anxieties around Asia and a desire to get British backing were strong motivators for Australia joining WW1.

How accurate is that claim?

A project for a product design class of mine. Inspired by F-16 and JDM

Car is electric. That's why no exhaust pipes.

Feedback and tips are highly welcome!

How viable is it to use clouds to hide in a dogfight?

In Ace Combat 7, you can use clouds to hide from hostiles and mess up their missile locks and tracking. How viable is it in real WVR air combat to use clouds like that?

God Arm reminds me of a certain pilot

When rewatching the Takumi vs God Arm race, I can't help but be reminded of Mihaly from Ace Combat 7. In a way I think the latter is the fighter pilot counterpart to God Arm in some ways.

I mean... both are old masters at their craft who have a habit of toying a bit with their opponents even though they can finish them off quickly. But maybe it's just me.

I got some callsigns for our local lonely driver:

PUGG: Perpetually Unable to Get Girls

Wingman: Constantly clings to and obsesses over his best mate of a Tofu Delivery Boy, and ironic given that he's a lonely driver

AFAR: Always Fails At Romance/Relationships, and always afar from girls

*CHAD: Constantly Hopeless At Dating, ironic given he can't get girls like a real Chad (AI generated callsign, but too good to not include)

Any more you guys can come up with?
