177: R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1), Ridge Racer 7 (PS3)

Hi podfans!


A long while ago (167 episodes ago in fact) we reviewed 'Ridge Racer' (PSP) and 'Ridge Racer' (PS Vita).


It turned out 'Ridge Racer' was still good in 2023 and 'Ridge Racer' was still bad in 2023! We also discussed Jalopnik.com's 'Ridge Racer' ranking from the same year to see if we could work out which 'Ridge Racer' was the best that had ever ridged?!?


It seemed as though the series had been inconsistent throughout the years and we didn't have enough knowledge to understand which edition is the best version at the time so we left it there like an itch one day you really should address. A bit like fun 'Athlete's Foot' if you will...


It turns out TODAY is the day we scratch that itch. Mmm satisfying... Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaacer is back on Living La Vita Loca podcast and we're sure you all couldn't be more... ambivalent... about our discussions on the long dormant series.


We're concentrating on a couple of home console iterations this time out. Rich takes us on a flying lap around R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 (1998, PS1), the sixth edition of the series from a five year span in the 1990s. Can a game 28 years old still slip into top gear easily?


Meanwhile, Fazz drifts around the potential dilemmas of Ridge Racer 7 (2006, PS3), an updated port of the maligned Ridge Racer 6 exclusive on the Xbox 360. Could a console hop provide the racing machine with the jump start it desperately needed?


Finally, we totally nail a 'Ridge Racer' ranking of our own because we KNOW thats what people want to hear from an amateur video games podcast in 2026.


Enjoy the ridge!
