Ridge Racer 5 - Ridiculous Driving

Behold, the most insane, stupid, bizarre and downright hilarious driving mechanics a game has ever known.

Watch as cars are able to steer the WRONG way round corners, drift in the opposite direction to turns and generally lose control yet still navigate the track.

And I still win the race! xD

EDIT - Some people seem to be getting the idea I DON'T like this game, I acually DO like it. I just find it really funny with its strange drifting/handling engine.

@PeaceUnitX2000 Oh geez now you've reminded me of the old cartoon opening with the kid driving pink and the inspector to the cinema in that crazy looking future car xD

I'll bet that anybody who watches this and hasn't played the game will think that it's godawful. If you DO think that, you're grossly mistaken! This is a case where the physics are so bad that it actually adds to the fun of the game.

@MrJoshuaSalway1990 Very true ^_^

Sir, You made my day. I used to be pro at this game, but even I didn't know you could do that.

[FireDragonKaryu]

@QuintonHobdy Glad you liked, you learn something new everyday afterall!

No other game can touch Ridge Racer physics. LOL

[FireDragonKaryu]

Wether its realistic or not isn't the point, ANY racer that lets you turn left to go right is ridiculous! xD

i am the best angelus driver on earth

[meganico98]

no videogame has more arcade-y physics than the almighty Ridge Racer!

@Harkz0r Whether the above is true or not, I just find it kind of funny to see a game with these kinds of graphics still adhere so closely to the original in terms of physics.

Ah, I know this! I remember this from Ridge Racer Revolution where I was younger - I read it was because the AI turning was left in the powerslides so regardless of where you're actually turning you will still not hit anything. I remember one course in Revo (Expert) where there was a really narrow tunnel, and I used to just slide in 360s through the thing haha! Actually, in the original Ridge Racer for PSX this behaviour wasn't present IIRC, or at least not to this extreme.

@MrEp5 I'm fully aware of that. Truth be told, I SUCK at realistic racing games (at least without driving aids, but even then my performance is less than stellar). I just end up spinning out and crashing. Here... I have little to worry about.

[MrEp5]

lmao.. thats insane! xD

@MrJoshuaSalway1990 This is what Rage/Ridge Racer is all abou!! ^_^ .. and the awesome soundtracks aswell ofcourse!
