Honest question, do people seriously give a s*** about Ridge Racer still? Seems like other racers such as Forza, Gran Turismo, F1, and Need for Speed have completely surpassed the series and left it in the dust, at least in terms of popularity and innovations. Seems like the only memorable thing about Ridge Racer this gen was, "RIIIIIIIIDDDDDGGGGE RACER!" at a sony conference.

Unbounded was ok but I would take a traditional driftfest Ridge Racer any day.
