Talk:Ridge Racer

message: Legend has it that Reiko's face is that of the artist who created her. The rumour claims that it was due to some sort of scanning process, or lately that it simply made it easier for the guy to draw her (Surely there'd be plenty of female references, though). I've heard it crop up now and again, so it seems to have become something of a videogaming urban myth. Anyone got an image of Reiko's creator's face to put this one to rest, once and for all?

Ai Fukami is better anyway.
Well, hardly, probably Kei Yoshimizu just used his face to get ehr expressions right.

thread_title: The Reiko Nagase thing

message: I will hopefully improve this article soon. Does look like a mess at the moment. --Thorpe 12:12, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing as no-one has taken the initiative I will begin the process of both cleaning up and de-stubing this article. Also, I am planning to either remove or condense the criticism section of this article, due to the fact that Ridge Racer is an arcade racing game, so there shouldn't be any expectation that the content of the game is realistic. Post any arguments here in the talk.--Ridge Racer 06:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean up 

message: I have just created articles for Rena Hayami and Gina Cavalli. I'll begin working on the other lady a bit later. -ZeroTalk 16:10, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Boy! I don't know anything about this other lass. I attempted a brief google for information, and recieved nothing. I'm speculating there might not be to much to add to the current article at this current time. I'll just do some clean-up and give the article some time to grow in the case someone else does locate something about her. -ZeroTalk 15:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character articles 

message: Can someone add that the reason there was unenthusiastic applause when he mentioned Ridge Racer was because the audience were most likely noobs who's first system was a PS2.
I'll get right on it. Or maybe not. I don't really care about games, games consoles or any of it, but having seen the video, you have to admit that man going 'Riiiiiiiiidge Racerrr!' is faintly ludicrous, to say the least. Although personally I find the fact that giant crabs are an integral part of Japanese history funnier. 86.0.232.60 19:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the whole "Riiiiidge Raaaaacer" thing probably deserves a mention. It's popping up quite a bit in Internet culture even now. Battle Ape 14:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  E3 

message: With the exception of RR64, when a Ridge Racer game is released for a new console, it's always a launch game or released just after the launch. Don't know if it's worth mentioning in the article though. --Mika1h (talk) 20:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While somewhat true, especially recently, it's not completely accurate. Remember that the PlayStation had several Ridge Racer titles released during its life cycle, then there was R: Racing Evolution that was released well after launch for both Xbox and GameCube, and the upcoming Ridge Racer Unbounded will arrive on established consoles, too. More importantly, such a supposition is considered original thought, and thus isn't appropriate unless a published authority makes the same statement. But, as noted above, that statement isn't really supported by the facts.  --McDoobAU93 16:12, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

text: While not all Ridge Racer games are launch games, all recent consoles have had an RR as a launch game. It has a reputation as launch series, with the mainline series, with the exception of RR2 for PSP, only appearing at launch. Since the creation of the series, only N64, GC, and the XBOX have not had RR launch games.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gohmifune (talk • contribs) 05:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sega Saturn didn't have a Ridge Racer game at launch, nor did Sega Dreamcast or Wii ... and I bought all three on their respective launch days. As stated before, this is all original thought that doesn't belong in the article unless a published source says it; for that matter, my statement just now is just as much original research, so I do try and practice what I preach.  --McDoobAU93 14:54, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
