Developed exclusively for Sony's Playstation, this fourth title in the Ridge Racer series features new visuals, powered by goraud-shaded polygons, giving every car and track a more polished appearance, while keeping the same arcade gameplay popularized by the first game in the series.
Although it includes the usual time attack and a new split-screen versus mode, the game focuses on Real Racing Roots '99, Ridge City's three-round, seven-race championship, with the grand finale in a speedway on New Year's Eve.
The player begins by choosing one of the four teams available (from easiest to hardest): Micro Mouse Mappy, led by the lovely Sophie Chevalier who hopes to win the first title for many years for the French national team in honoring his ailing grandfather, Pac Racing Team, a newly formed Japanese team led by Shinji Yazaki that hopes to create an immediate splash on the Ridge City racing scene, from Italy champions RRR Racing Team Solvalou, with the demanding Enki Gilbert at the helm, and the American team Dig Racing Team, which struggled financially, with team principal Robert Chrisman struggling to provide the driver with a car capable of overtaking his opponents.
After choosing a team, the player can choose one of the four car manufacturers available: Lizard and Assoluto keep the old RR tradition of cars drifting wildly around corners, but Age Solo and Terrazi offer a new experience with their "Grip" cars which require more breaking and careful trajectories, but are easier to control in turns.
The player earns (and therefore unlocks for free play) cars by completing races; however, the final placement defines the quality of the car. By dint of sneaking into the first two rounds (the final GP only accepts one victory), the sponsors will not want to invest in the team and instead of a new car, the mechanics will only upgrade the current vehicle. But winning all the races allows the driver to reach the Shooting Hoops circuit with the fastest car. Combining all qualifying placements, 320 cars are waiting to be unlocked.
R4 Ridge Racer Type 4 also includes an additional disc, with the original Ridge Racer in higher resolution. For a time, the game was also sold as a bundle with Namco's innovative Jogcon controller.
