I really think these franchises need to take a break, step back, and come up with something genuinely fresh if they want to be great again.

Though it’s still somewhat overlooked, a remake could be exactly what today’s gamers are looking for.

Okay, so this is awesome news for us old-school racers! PlayStation just announced that the very first Ridge Racer game is coming back on both PS5 and PS4 in less than a week! It originally hit arcades way back in ’93, and then landed on the PS1 in ’95 where it blew up. That version led to a ton of sequels over the years.
