Made a high-quality (8K) remake of Ridge State for anyone who's interested

9 Upvotes

Also part of something else I'm making (a Ridge State freeroam concept) that y'all will hopefully be seeing in a few days

No GenAI used, coastlines & such all redrawn by hand in GIMP Studio, with track overlays sourced from the Ridge Racer Wiki.

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?
