I've done the obvious and watched videos on Youtube, and honestly I don't think it's that great.
I'd prefer Revolution and Rage Racer to be released on Premium.
As far as Arcade racing games go, I'd love games like Chase HQ, Power Drift, Super Monaco GP and Continental Circus etc rather than the early 3D games.
Outrun is great on my Switch."
Yeah, that's the reason Namco didn't port Rave Racer to the PS1 as it already had the Ridge Racer name well established, so they made Rage Racer instead, which was more suited to home consoles as it had extra modes and such, than being just a short arcade experience.
"Am i getting confused between rave racer and rage racer?
Rage against the rave...."
Rave Racer was originally planned for the PS1, but Namco scrapped that idea and decided to make an all-new console version as it would be more suited to the home - more modes and missions as opposed to just being an arcade port, which prolly would have sold less.
@MrPeanutbutterz Rave Racer will be 60fps, as the arcade was also 60fps - same with the release of ridge racer arcade in the previous arcade archives release, the hardware we have now days is more than powerful enough to emulate arcade systems decades ago.

"I’ve never heard of Rave Racer before. I thought the series just had a Rage Racer in it."
Many have not heard of it either, as the Ridge Racer series was made popular by the PS1 port, Rave Racer was on the sidelines at this time sadly.
