Gotta be honest I was born a year after this game came out and only played it for the first time in 2024. Both this opening and the game itself some of the best things I've experienced in gaming nothing has matched this energy
I legit thought graphics couldn't get better than this. But this is still amazing - the animation is still crazy smooth, and this entire soundtrack still bumps.
For it’s time this game is incredibly gorgeous. I mean it still is, It’s very impressive that this was a PSX game. Not to mention the killer soundtrack the games got going on.
Miss my teenage years...this crazy .I'm 40 yrs old....me n my god brother up all night playing this, listen too,Bone thug, Master P,TLC, Busta rhymes.. smh...good ol DayZ
He's the one for me There's no place I'd rather be... Yeah To the finish line, Everywhere you look he's right on time With his silent stare... Blazing through the open air He's without a care Ohhhh..... Yeahhh.... Everywhere you look he's right on time Movin' to the beat Can you feel the heat, When the tires kiss the street Step back, it's ridge racer... A ridge racer He gives me what I need One more win its ridge racer... A ridge racer I feel the need for speed Step back, it's ridge racer... A ridge racer He gives me what I need One more win It's ridge racer A ridge racer Racer! Ahh, yeah! Ridge racer! Ridge racer! Ahhh... Roohh... ridge racer... Step back, it's ridge racer He only wants to give me what I need Yeah... Ridge racer! Ridge racer! (ridge racer...)
They chose a wonderful video to remaster, but to me, this still looks a little pixelated & a little blurry. Not much, but for something that says it's remastered, it should look better than this. (I watched in 1080 mode.)
I bought it rather recently because I’m 14 and have a love for old games and I’m playing it right now and it never gets old I find myself never being able to skip the intro and I’m happy that I’m experiencing what you slightly older people experienced back in the day
@@unlisted3741 I was 5 years old in 2005 playing this game , fresh new house we moved into and the nostalgic feeling is still with me. i still have my original ps1 and the game.
@@sardaar_ no worries lol, it wasn't meant to be demeaning in any way. I just got carried away by how epic this intro and music is, add a couple of beers to it, and voila 😂 I was a tad older, must've been 9 or 10 at the time this released 😁
@@b1oZARD ik it’s all good. I just was wondering when will I ever know this game cause I always finished all the way to the last but could never beat it back when I was in school. I was wondering what was the name of this game till I found out about it through another video regarding uninstalling the game in ps3 i think and I was Leonardo DiCaprio whistling that’s it that’s the game I was playing as a kid on PS1.
My big brother bought this game during the holidays at Toy R Us and I thought it was a mistake. I wish I could go back to the 90s and tell him how right he was lol
I've loved all the Ridge Racer games, even Rage Racer. All the games in that series had a very specific gameplay style and unique flavor. I hope Bandai Namco will revisit that franchise soon.
This intro .....tekken 2 and 3 intro......resident evil 2 .......the old ps1 cg intros just hit different.....oh and also pro evo 2 with the queen song 😊
This is the game made me like the ridge racer series, it was one of my favorite, i like the opening, the sound tracks in the game and opening sound track, game play cars and so on.
Que elegante❤ recuerdo que yo lo tuve de niño para play me lo regaló mi padre y me dejó muy marcado, no recordaba su nombre y gracias a un vídeo en Instagram di con el vaya recuerdos!
Yo lo compre de oferta con el poco dinero que podia ahorrar de pequeño, ni lo conocia, pero me encanto, ese modo historia que tenias con el jefe del equipo en el que eligieras correr estaba muy bien para la epoca, y la intro hasta ahora me pone los pelos de punta, juegazo.
After years of searching for this game I only had a memory of the intro. I finally started asking an AI to help me zero in on it and within 5 minutes it had found it. Incredible.
I saw a DJ called ANZ at white hotel in Manchester UK and she played a remix of this song and it went so hard. I've tried finding it for a year now but cannot find it at all
This game is one of the main reasons PS1 was better than n64, the ability for full audio tracks made the games so much better and the game looked a lot better than rr64 even though the system was less powerful.
imagine creating such a masterpiece of an intro full of emotion and story telling just for a fucking racing game with the worst graphics imaginable, il never forget the first time i played this
That girl probably would be in her late 30s by the time it's the 2020s now.. She'd be gorgeous anyway, like Audrey ❤️.. Also it's interesting that a GT40 look alike was featured in this game
@@jujubewomack196 why do i play gta sa when i was 5 (im now 11) Well then againt it had some bad stuff Well atleast i play it on ps2 hehe boi My brpther beat it
From low income, to now driving a car that costs more than a house. This inspired me... now I just need to find a hot Asian chick to pick up.. (being almost 40..)
after playing the series again, i gotta say, this game has the perfect mix of women and cars. forza is just gay and nfs is just sexxed up and goes nowhere. ridge racer actually has women you can simp for.
This is still, after 20 something years is my favorite video game opening of all time.
This intro slaps. The next best intro I can think of is the one from the original Tekken Tag Tournament
Definitely one of the best racing intros I’ve ever heard from there its Gran Turismo 1/2
@@PrincePiscesFr, Gran Turismo 2 and R4 are my fav childhood games. So many memories. I have never skipped these intros.
@@shrooom1979 nothing like The Cardigans in a video game
GT 1 had a better opener than GT 2 imo

Right in the childhood feels!!

I’m 40 as well bro. This game hits hard
still in my teen years and this shit SLAPS, my fav racing game of all time. A top 10 game for me
What's a god bro?
meanwhile, I just convinced my 7 year old little brother to play it 😂 it's such an amazing game
He's the one for me
There's no place I'd rather be... Yeah
To the finish line,
Everywhere you look he's right on time
With his silent stare...
Blazing through the open air
He's without a care
Ohhhh..... Yeahhh....
Everywhere you look he's right on time
Movin' to the beat
Can you feel the heat,
When the tires kiss the street
Step back, it's ridge racer...
A ridge racer
He gives me what I need
One more win its ridge racer...
A ridge racer
I feel the need for speed
Step back, it's ridge racer...
A ridge racer
He gives me what I need
One more win
It's ridge racer
A ridge racer
Racer! Ahh, yeah!
Ridge racer!
Ridge racer!
Ahhh... Roohh... ridge racer...
Step back, it's ridge racer
He only wants to give me what I need
Yeah...
Ridge racer!
Ridge racer! (ridge racer...)
Dear oh dear, it has been over 20 years already, I remember this intro like it was yesterday
I remember having this video on a PS1 demo disc and it blowing my mind as a kid.
THE VOCALS ARE SO ASTONISHING, OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD
Kimara Lovelace, man!
Best opening for a racing game ever. Nothing tops it.
I have goosebump and tears. I had spent lot of hours playing this title, when I was a teeanger.
yes, this game is so cool that no other racing game in the same generation can beat (even Gran Turismo could not)
If this intro didn't get you pumped for a race, I ain't got no clue what will.
Whoever remastered this intro did an amazing job, looks phenomenal.

@@shuttittuppitt9355I don’t think it will ever be properly remastered because the video is just way too low quality your gonna see artifacts.
@@shuttittuppitt9355 th-cam.com/video/2UAlfZ90yFI/w-d-xo.html this will probably be the best it will get
@@shuttittuppitt9355 th-cam.com/video/kspAv1rtFHY/w-d-xo.html this is good too
this takes me back, havent seen this in 20 years
This was one of my first PS1 games
This was one of my most played racing game in my childhood, so cool.
I was 5 years old when I start to play this legend
ME TOO!!! Back in 2005
I bought it rather recently because I’m 14 and have a love for old games and I’m playing it right now and it never gets old I find myself never being able to skip the intro and I’m happy that I’m experiencing what you slightly older people experienced back in the day

Hell yeah.
Ridge Racer Type 4 is an Amazing Racing Game!!
I remember this blowing my mind for being so cool
the nostalgia is hitting so hard
PERFECT!!!! i was trying to fid the name of the game and the cutscene all evening haha
I finally found this opening! I love this song and video!! 🤩💯
Finally after all these racers I found it.
You mean you forgot about it???
@@b1oZARD bro i was 6 years old how the hell would I know since English is my second and all I remember was vivid dream

My number one favorite best racing game on my beloved ps1 game library...perfect
Easily top 5 greatest racing intro of all time.
GT 1/2 on your top 5?
damn this game had so good opening graphics but a ps 1 game thats crazy
This and wipeout 3 reminders of great times
To be honest. I turn on my PS1 put the ridge racer type 4 disk and wait for this intro…
En la actualidad nadie creería que este intro tenga 25 años
great song! love this song when it came out and til now.
Obra maestra de la época 😎
My childhood !
My big brother bought this game during the holidays at Toy R Us and I thought it was a mistake. I wish I could go back to the 90s and tell him how right he was lol

Damn, it's been a while, I played this when I was 5.
Still fire after all these years!
I never fell in love with the physics of this game but I always loved the intro, the menus, the music.
what would you call this genre of music?
burning soul music
House music?
It’s “retro wave” genre.
Really gives that euro beat pop vibe.
Definitely house music. Listen to "Ah" by Bellaire (even Bellaire as a whole) you'll get that same vibe.
Racing

certified hood classic
This and Soul Blade intro - the best intros ever!
Yes!
This has just been announced as part of the PS Plus Premium lineup for March!
I’m so hyped
one of the greatest opening of all time ♥
this really takes me back....
that first scene in which the car's exhaust expels fire
1:20 - 1:23 for your satisfaction. Be cautious u might shed a tear
I actually did 🤣
Un gran recuerdo 👍👍👍🇨🇱
PAC Racing Club racer would have gone "fuck that shit, I'm winning the god damned race".
This game is one of the main reasons PS1 was better than n64, the ability for full audio tracks made the games so much better and the game looked a lot better than rr64 even though the system was less powerful.
My favorite game as a kid
Como me para los Pelos a mis 39 años , y la vida continua y yo sigo pensando que todo es mentira rajado por la carretera :)
Reiko is so cute
Solvalou were way too fast for the competition... so much so they can pick up a spectator 😏
And still cross the finish line.
Man this game was THE shit back then pfffff

She'd be gorgeous anyway,
like Audrey ❤️..
Also it's interesting that a GT40 look alike was featured in this game
This game came out 24 years ago. The girl would be in her mid 40s by now!
best game opening~!
