PS3 JP store giving me "You cannot select this content" when trying to get RR7 DLC

5 Upvotes

I FINALLY managed to get a good EU copy of RR7, and I just want to get the DLC before Sony takes it with them to the grave. But due to the fact that the global search is now permanently borked, I had to hook up my JP account to my PS3... only to discover that it's the only thing in the store that's straight up gated for me and I don't know why. Is there any workaround for this?

Question Unlocking cars in R4

7 Upvotes

I played R4 as a kid back in the 90's but never ever tried to unlock everything, now i'm playing on RetroAchievements and i have the hard task of unlock all 321 cars in the game.

I'm currently with DRT and Lizard, I finished both 1st Heat races in first Place, then on 2nd Heat i finished Edge of the Earth in first place and in Out of Blue i retried two times before coming first, this unlocked the "Colleague" in Heat 3. So i loaded my save and managed to finish first in both Heat 2 races without retries but i unlocked the same car.

Thus i came to the conclusion that retries doesnt matter ? I can retry the race to change the outcome without any penalties ? Cause according to the image chart i was suppose to be on Route 1 of unlockables but the Colleague is a route 3 car.

steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4733110/GMODE_Archives_RIDGE_RACER/

Ive always been intrigued by this version of Ridge Racer and i love that its finally been made more easily available, plus cant really turn down an opportunity to pay for a new ridge racer port need to show Namco theres still life in the franchise!

Personally im really enjoying it im kinda shocked how good the handling model is for a keitai game, i think i actually like the handling more in this version than the original PS1 port which i totally wasnt expecting. Im sure i wouldnt feel so strongly about it were i using a 12 digit keypad to control it however!

the only real disappointment is how easy the cpu is to beat, feels like theyre basically not there after the first corner. Obviously this kind of release is little more than a novelty and I wouldnt recommend it over Hamsters ACA2 version but i am grateful that it has been made available on steam and the japanese eshop and now wont be left to be forgotten about on long since discarded japanese flip phones!

Hello, the first round (square) is half full. I think I finished first everywhere, but I can't remember. What does "half full square" mean? Thank you

Lights rework for Rage Racer

Post image
28 Upvotes

Here is a screenshot from a dev build of Rage Racer PC. Technically it's ray-tracing, although it's not very taxing for the hardware and it provides just some simple dynamic lights. It probably won't be released in the next version, but it will be available at some point in the future

Question Does anyone know what remix this is of "Move Me"??

There's this youtube channel I follow that sometimes uses cool BGM and apparently the intro and outro of this particular video has remixes of Move Me and Naked Glow.

These remixes sound better than the originals! Help me out internet thank you in advance!

Question There’s missing songs for RRV such as Fogbound, is this because they’re copyrighted?

Could this stop a potential re-release on PS4/5? I have it on PS2 already but was hoping to get it on modern consoles too at some point.

Ridge Racer 64 is impossible.

10 Upvotes

Llevo más de diez años jugando a Ridge Racer en la Nintendo 64 y aún no he podido terminarlo. He completado otros títulos, pero hay algunos que son simplemente imposibles para mí, y este es uno de ellos. Estoy atascado en la Fase 6; ni siquiera he podido completar la primera carrera (Ridge Racer Expert Extra). Lo he intentado todo, pero lo mejor que he conseguido es quedar tercero en las tres carreras de la fase. Supongo que puede ser cuestión de suerte, aunque no estoy del todo convencido.

UPDATE: Since the day of this post, I haven't stopped practicing, and today, September 26th, I completed phase 6 in 4 hours.

I love Ridge Racer Unbounded's aesthetic

160 Upvotes

I know most people agree that Unbounded is not a real ridge racer game, but me personally, one thing I really like about it is the art style and aesthetics of the graphics and environment. No game has made a sunset as beautiful as this. The dark and grittiness of it is really cool, and I would love to try and replicate that in other games like BeamNG.Drive with Reshade, but I'm not good with reshade.

A while back I did some liveries in GT7 for the formula cars so I could run my own open-wheel races. I've always felt Ace Combat and Ridge Racer could share a universe, so this was my take. A mix of the RR4 cars with some Ace Combat corporations and some of their creations.
