В честь предстоящего Ridge Racer 3D на 3DS и Ridge Racer Unbounded на PS3, Xbox 360 и PC, Namco Bandai решила тряхнуть стариной и дает классическому Ridge Racer второй круг по трассе. Ridge Racer Type 4, первоначально выпущенный в Северной Америке в 1999 году, будет доступен на PlayStation Store в следующем месяце для PSP и PS3.
К сожалению, для тех из вас, кто хочет испытать истинное наслаждение от Ridge Racer Type 4, ни PS3 ни PSP не позволят вам подключить контроллер JogCon. Вы не получите реалистичные (относительно) ощущения от вождения автомобиля, используя эти консоли.
LEGENDARY R4: RIDGE RACER® TYPE 4™
COMES TO THE PLAYSTATION®NETWORK IN MARCH
PlayStation®One Drift-Racing Classic to be Re-launched
for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) System and PlayStation®3 System
SANTA CLARA, Calif., (Feb. 16, 2011) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced their timeless smash hit, R4: RIDGE RACER® Type 4™, will
be re-launched March 2011 as a PS®one Classic on the PlayStation®Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, PSP®
(PlayStation®Portable) system and PSP®Go. The re-launch comes in anticipation of RIDGE RACER® 3D for the Nintendo 3DS™ system this spring, and the
recently announced RIDGE RACER® UNBOUNDED™ which will be available in 2012 for the Xbox 360® video game entertainment system from Microsoft,
PlayStation 3 system, and Windows PC.
R4: RIDGE RACER Type 4 was originally released for the PlayStation® computer entertainment system in 1999 and quickly garnered critical acclaim as one
of the best racing games available. The game also found a highly devoted fan base with its fast-paced drift racing gameplay. The unique story-driven Grand
Prix mode, jazz-influenced soundtrack and two-player split-screen racing were new additions for the series that set the benchmark for all future RIDGE
RACER titles.
R4: RIDGE RACER Type 4 follows the path of a rookie driver as he joins one of four racing teams. The game features 48 unique cars with over 300
variations spread across four car manufacturers, each with their own signature designs and handling. Players will race through eight legendary courses, full
of twisting hairpin turns and perilous straight-aways. Machines can be tuned for drift or grip-style racing based on the player's preference. The two styles
of handling allow for players to slide through corners or hug the road. Dominate the competition and become the world champion of drift racing.
R4: RIDGE RACER Type 4 will be available as a PS one Classic on the PlayStation Store March 2011. Stay in touch with RIDGE RACER news and updates on
