“Rave Racer”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Compared to Ridge Racer 2, Rave Racer adds two new tracks as well as the ability to play the original two, various handling changes, force feedback steering, and improved car and racetrack graphics.^[5] Like Ridge Racer 2, Rave Racer featured a new soundtrack. The new tracks contain various side roads, but some of them take more time than others to complete a full lap of the track.

It was the first game to feature high resolution 3D texture mapping, a feature which was not seen on other platforms until the Dreamcast over three years later.{{Citation needed|date=February 2018}} Rave Racer ran at a resolution of 640x480 and 60 frames per second.

A Microsoft Windows version was originally under development for NEC's PowerVR graphics processor,^[6]^[7] and was demonstrated in early 1996. However the game was cancelled, thus no games in the Ridge Racer series were released for PCs until Unbounded in 2012. A PlayStation version was announced later in 1996,^[8] but it too was cancelled.

While there was never a home release, the game's exclusive tracks were later included in the PSP Ridge Racer game in 2004, also including some of its soundtrack in either original or remixed form.^[9]

Reception

A critic for Next Generation remarked that while the game makes few changes from its predecessors, those changes are important enough to make it a dramatic improvement. He found the more accurate and responsive control particularly pleasing, saying it allows players to pull off more impressive maneuvers and race without having to compensate for the controls. He also praised the fast-paced music and graphical touches. Concluding that "despite only four courses, one of which is a rehash, this racer kicks", he gave it four out of five stars.^[10]

In 1996, Next Generation listed the game at number 94 in their "Top 100 Games of All Time", citing "a force-feedback steering wheel, loud speakers, a huge monitor, and a link to up to seven other units".^[11]
