RIIIDGE RACER!!!111 .

.

.

Type 4 playthrough where you get to see every variation of the main campaign.

Some parts of the video alternates between English and Japanese to make certain dialogues between the characters a little more authentic.

I have provided subtitles for those who do not understand such languages.

Also, if you wish to skip to certain parts of the video or want to hear my thoughts and reviews about this game check out the time stamps on the video description or at the comments section.

Enjoy! So, you're the punk who's supposed to give us a winning season, eh? An inexperienced punk at that.

I'm Yazaki, the manager of this team.

I can't believe those bozos at the top.

.

.

Sending me an inexperienced rookie like you.

Well, since our team doesn't even register a blip on the racing fans' radars, the worst you could do is to ruin our nonexistent reputation.

By the way, our benefactors upstairs have agreed to let us choose the sponsor we want for this season.

So, what do you say? Why don't you amuse me by choosing the car that you want.

We've got a sponsorship deal with Terrazi.

Are you happy now? The manufacturer's car has the accelerator off and the body has some characteristics.

If you don't want to end in the first race, you will be able to ride this car much longer.

Come on.

The first qualifying round begins! First place! Whoa! Is this some kind of a sick joke? What's the matter kid?What? Do you want a parade in your honor or something? What do you think this is? A Sunday picnic? You have no idea how hard this Grand Prix is going to get.

Whatever the case, I consider this race to be a fluke.

So, why don't you impress me by getting first in the next one? Another first place? Are you starting a winning streak or something?.

.

.

What? So you didn't win because of luck.

I admit it.

Are you happy now? Second heat's coming up.

You know, they're not going to let you win this easily again.

Why don't you thank the crew and call it a day? Hey kid, have you been to the garage yet? We got a new car for the second heat.

The geezers at the top were blown away by your performance, so they went to town and got you the best.

But you've gotta remember that the other teams have new cars as well.

We still have our work cut out for us.

This is the best that we can do for you.

The rest is up to you.

Go get 'em kid! Whoa.

.

.

Way to go, kid.

Even though you had a high spec car, how did you get first place? That ain't normal.

Maybe you're better than Giuliano.

.

.

Oh, never mind.

.

.

I'm talking to myself.

.

.

The last race of this heat is coming up.

Don't get cocky and start slackin' now, you got me? First again.

.

.

Another first in the second heat? Yeah, you're the real deal.

You're a genius all right.

Man, nothin's gonna change how I feel about you now.

You can go and mess up any way you like, but I'll stand behind you 100%.

The Final GP's coming up.

It ain't no picnic, but you got me all worked up about it.

We were able to get a new car for the Final GP.

She ain't perfect, but in terms of overall performance, she'll do the trick.

But I hear the other teams have gone the extra mile to get new cars as well.

Any moron could tell you that the level of competition is going to be high.

But a little competition ain't gonna get you down, right? I know that ain't your style, rookie.

It's our chance for victory, kid! Go get 'em! Good job, rookie! You did just what I expected you to do.

The new car's perfect for you.

You know, you're gonna be famous now.

It's not a bad way to make your debut.

We will be gaining a lot of traction in Japan.

I have a supportive FAX right here.

Just read it.

To PRC staff, Please forgive me for the sudden FAX.

I can't stand from here, tried to get a hold of you.

With this new PRC crew on the rise and is sure to be such a great team.

No one expected this to happen.

It's a great excitement, no matter where you go, “PRC JAPAN” is sure to be a big deal locally right now.

.

.

.

.

.

anyway, keep on moving.

From our standpoint, we will be fully supporting the PRC, please keep this FAX message a secret between the two of us.

Good luck out there! PRC! Good luck out there! PRC! – Reiko Nagase .

.

.

Hello.

.

.

.

Yeah? .

.

.

Say what? What does Giuliano have anything to do with this?! Draggin' my past through the dirt, huh?! Back off!! .

.

.

Those press scumbags.

.

.

They make me want to puke.

.

Hey, what are you doing here? That phone call? No, it has nothing to do with you.

Sorry.

.

Pay no attention to it.

So you've gone through the finals unscathed so far, eh? You're just a monster driver.

You're so good, I think everyone else is about to give up.

There are two more races left.

Let's do it!! “RRR Backstage Drama- “Former RTS Driver Yazaki Breaks 13 Year Silence to Return as PRC Manager!” “The Truth Behind Ace Driver Giuliano's Death- The Yazaki Link Revealed!” .

.

.

Looks like the cat's finally out of the bag.

That was my mistake.

As his teammate, I should have yielded my track position to him.

.

.

It was as if I killed Giuliano myself.

The press hounded me to death and.

.

.

.

.

I thought I would never come back to racing.

But the years helped me deal with that mistake.

.

.

To redeem myself, I wanted to keep a promise I made with Giuliano- to win the RRR Grand Prix.

Sorry, that's enough of my sob story.

You somehow remind me of Giuliano.

.

Even though you don't look like him at all.

.

.

Oh, by the way, I've completely blown away by your three perfect wins.

The final race is coming up, so why don't you rest up? The final race is up next.

We have a new car that's tuned for high speed racing on the final track.

She's a real speed demon, kid.

The crew worked on fixing her up all night long.

She's perfect now.

You'll probably have to deal with a driver from RTS in this final race.

Old man Gilbert's team is no joke.

.

.

Well, we can't stick our tails between our legs and run away now.

Come on kid! .

.

.

This one's for you, Giuliano.

.

.

You did it! You really did it!You won the Grand Prix! And four perfect wins to boot.

.

.

You just had to get yourself into the record books too.

.

.

When you came around the final turn.

.

.

I don't know how it happened, but I found myself right by the finish line.

And I saw it with my own eyes, kid.

And I saw it.

I saw you crossing the finish line.

.

.

The same finish line Giuliano and I failed to cross 13 years ago.

Can you hear the crowd, kid?It's good to be here.

It's good to be back.

.

.

.

.

.

What am I babbling about? Man, seems like this team's made up of a bunch of emotional cry babies.

.

.

Get outta here, kid.

The press is waiting for you.

No one else.

Remember, you're the one who won.

– A New Beginning.

.

.

– “Giuliano.

.

.

Memories can be cruel.

” “If only I had stopped you that time, even if I had to hit you.

.

.

My guilty conscience will be with me forever.

” “I can't stand the pain alone anymore.

” .

.

.

I was able to keep our promise today .

.

.

Although someone else had to fill your shoes.

That kid is good.

.

.

Maybe even better than you.

.

.

“Giuliano, will you forgive me if I have a dream again?” “A man can change, as long as he lives.

” “I want to race again with the kid who taught me that.

” – This is the most powerful team in RRR history – – And so began the legacy of the PRC – That's kinda cute how the credits take place at the Daikoku PA.

Anyway, the run you've witnessed in this video was done in my first try.

.

.

around April of 2020 by the requests of our ongoing supporters.

I'd like to thank them for none of this would have happened without them.

This is a good casual arcade racer that's very easy to get the hang of.

Would I play another Ridge Racer game? Probably not unless a new one that gets released in the future.

Story wise: the most relatable arc for mewas when we raced for the American team.

I have this obsession over handicapping myself for extra gratification.

Meaning that it feels extra rewarding you win as the underdog team.

It's always great to root for the losing team anyway.

I'm sure the majority of the players would have picked the French team due to the romantic dialogue between the team owner's granddaughter but for the boys listening: she not into you bro! I felt like I did the race order wrong.

Apparently the first team set I've completed was the most difficult and was supposed to be done last which was a good thing; causing the remainder of the game relatively easier.

After completing the American team, I had a very easy time with the vehicles that have grippy cornering.

Most of my issues stem from the American and Italian cars.

Those bad boys are a ticking time bomb when trying to corner.

They're very unpredictable when the vehicle decides to drift on its own causing us to set us up for failure for the entire race.

As far as I've experienced, there's no way for those vehicles to do a grip turn, no matter how long you've release the gas or brake without turning.

As for anyone that wants to give this game a shot: it's very friendly for casuals players to try out.

The first set of races will give you a leniency to be at least in third place in order to progress, which gives you a leeway to learn the game's physics.

During the last 4 races, the game requires you to be in first place all the times.

That shouldn't be a problem given that you get the hang of the gameplay flow during your first three races in.

The tracks are very easy to memorize especially with those helpful signs giving you a cue when a medium to hard turn is about to approach.

The rides are fictional but they bare a resemblance to some iconic 90s race spec vehicles.

Ranging from a Classic Corvette Stingray to a Mitsubishi GTO.

I'm also feeling the orange cel shaded visuals too! So to recap, it's a good arcade racer that's straight to the point.

But yeah, thanks for taking the time to watch this video.

If you liked the video, don't forget to leave a thumbs up, subscribe, and turn on the bell button since I'll be making more videos often.

Let me know on the comment section which racing games I should try out.

You have until the fall of 2020 to request a game.

If the video game you requested is intriguing enough, you'll be featured in the beginning of that said video.

That's it for now, till next time!.
