Ridge Racers Beats
Namco tunes in a song list for its PSP racing game -- lots of classics here!

December 03, 2004 - Namco already filled us in on some of the special modes that will make Ridge Racers for PSP a warm "Welcome Back" to a series that has taken a long time off since its last entry (unless you wish to count R:Racing Evolution, which most will not.) This week, the official Ridge Racers Site has a deep feature on all of the tracks to be included in the game.

A total of 30 tunes included, Namco has composed 12 new tracks for the PSP game, with six remixes of old Ridge Racer classic tunes and another 12 tunes that are direct from the old versions of the game. All of these tunes are selectable from the PSP game's menu -- each track is divided up into virtual "discs", and you can choose which set of tracks you want to play before you begin from these pre-made lists (or randomize your choices out of what's on there.) Below is the full track listing from Namco's site, with a rough description of what kind of music these tracks (many of which will be familiar to you in some form or another) will sound like.

Complete list of tracks at the link.
 
R4 -RIDGE RACER TYPE 4- - Your Vibe - Original of another Type-4 tune

R4 -RIDGE RACER TYPE 4- - Eat'em Up! - Original recording on R4 -- you should recognize this tune from a certain Namco classic!

OHHH YEAH!

For those who don't know, Eat em Up was the R4 OST-only (I think - I never found it in the game, anyway) remix of music from Pac-Man and, best of all, Pac-Mania. It RULES!
 
This would have been THE game to introduce custom soundtrack functionality via memory stick, but I guess this is good enough.
 
i need to stop reading these ridge racers topics. they'll only tempt me to consent to inevitably absurd japanese launch prices. :(

awesome soundtrack, though. i like the selections from old ridge racer games.
 
I haven't been this excited for a racing game in YEARS. Cannot wait for Ridge Racers!! :D

Unlock the Pac-Man car
 
Hopefully, some kind soul will record these tracks from the PSP to tide me over until the OST release. Remixes of old RR tunes, older RR tunes, and original music is too much to pass up.
 
No, what they need to confirm is if you can turn off nitros.

You can handicap multiplayer rounds, so I assume you can do it there, but I don't know if there's to be a classic, nitro-free mode.

Someone is making a racing game with a worthwhile soundtrack--the first time in years probably--and you're complaining that it doesn't have custom soundtracks? Please die and leave video gaming to the non-tards.
 
The nitro system is kind of cool. It recharges the more you drift. Trust me you won't be bitching after you play it.
