Side by side comparison between the Playstation 5 emulation of the original PS1 version of Ridge Racer (available via Playstation Plus Premium) and the PC emulator Duckstation (4k resolution and PGXP enhancements activated) of the original 1994 release and the 60FPS "Turbo Mode" version, released in 1998.

So this is how I learned that the PS1 Ridge Racer released today for PS4 and PS5. Time for some serious nostalgia.

I seen that it was coming about a week or so ago but yeah if you blink you will miss the news of classic releases nowadays.

PS+ UI needs a redesign or at least be more consistent with what is shown.

Looks like the only way PS5 can beat Duckstation is for Sony to buy the rights and never ever release it to public.

You don't have to have PS+ to play the classes you can also buy them but the days of weekly PSN & Xbox Live threads kept us more informed about releases

Being able to purchase some classics has nothing to do with my point. It's often a chore to seek out new classics or trials offerings in the PS+ App.

The PS app sucks balls when it comes to finding stuff. I usually end up starting a remote play session to my PS5 to find what I'm looking for.

The PS5 app is what I was talking about, but I can only imagine what a mobile app would be like.

Yep, I'll never understand that desire to be so conservative when emulating classic PSX or PS2 games. Old 3D games don't look good on modern screens unless they're rendered in HD (preferably with downsampling) or at least have a good CRT filter.

My point was that the online community did a better job of keeping us informed of releases when there was a weekly schedule for releases .

It's open source. They could just use it.

The actual arcade version is also available.

How the fuck have we had this many posts and not one

The emulated/improved version looks like the System 22 arcade version now.

The arcade version of the game is also emulated in PS4 (Arcade Archives Ridge Racer), PS5 (Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer) and PC (different emulators like MAME).

There's also the PSP's Ridge Racer 2 emulated for PS4 & PS5 (like the first PSP Ridge Racer this games includes most games, tracks and songs of most titles in the series).

And there's also Ridge Racer Type 4 for PS4 & PS5.

They won't as they can't have any control over it.

 

[Gitaroo]

perspective correct texture makes 3D pixel art even better on PSX. Sony need to get that implemented.

Yeah the Arcade Archives & other ways of playing old games on the newer consoles seems to be overlooked but they're quick fun.

These memes killed a great series

I bought it when it released but it isn't as fun as the PS1 version to me.

 

[adamsapple]

Duckstation (and Beetle) having PGXP gives them an instant advantage over the official emulator.

No lies detected. This thing is my preferable way to play PS1 games. If you want classic graphics, you can have that, too. It really makes games like Xenogears look so good and worth another full playthrough, just to experience that soft Remaster feel.
