They've not seen a "mainline" numbered release of Ridge Racer since 2006, a spin off on ps vita in 2011 and a PS3/X360 in name only "Ridge Racer" unbounded.

So yeah, what happened?

I miss the simple arcade racers. I loved Horizon Chase Turbo, but I would love to see Ridge Racer take the arcade racer crown back!

I had this same question recently. The last Ridge Racer I played was awful, absolutely awful. It was a Vita Game and it shipped with barely any content, it was bizarre.

There was a period of time the game consoles launching with a Ridge Racer was actually gaming tradition, it was even a superstition that if you didn't launch with one, the console would fail.

The PSP, Xbox 360, PS3, Vita, and PS2 all launched with one. You can check the dates to confirm.

Ridge Racer is still one of my favorite games, and I loved Horizon Chase Turbo so much I recently picked up the physical Vita release.
