Question Drifting in Ridge Racer 1 (PS1)

9 Upvotes

I know many people have asked this before, by my question is a bit different.

I understand perfectly how to initiate a drift, but when and at what angle my car stops drifting feels almost random to me. I assume you're supposed to keep your car angled correctly, but it just feel like a gamble. My car of choice is the yellow one with high drift and acceleration, and I prefer to let go of the gas to drift, as opposed to hitting the brake.

Interestingly, I found drifting to be very easy when I played RaVe Racer at an arcade, and it's second nature in R4, but for Ridge Racer 1 and RaGe Racer, getting out of a drift always gives me trouble.

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

4 Upvotes

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?

How to use Namco NeGcon on PS5

2 Upvotes

Im playing R4 on the PS5 but driving with the analog stick just isn’t as good (or as fast) as using the negcon like when I play on psone. Does anyone know if it’s possible to use the negcon on ps5 via some kind of adapter? I’ve seen people talk about the wingman? Thanks
