It's hard to share memories of a game that was never released, but I am a huge fan of Ridge Racer and have been for years, especially, but not only, after its mid-00s fleshing-out in the form of Ridge Racers, Ridge Racers 2, Ridge Racer 6, and Ridge Racer 7. I've always considered it one of the hallmarks of a brand of racing that hasn't been getting nearly enough attention of late, and even though it's had some missteps - Unbounded, Driftopia, Draw n' Drift, arguably Vita (at least in its implementation) - the core game has always been there and has aged remarkably when treated right. I was gutted to learn about this eighth mainline installment for the Nintendo Switch that was cancelled before it could even be announced, as it would have found its way into my Switch library very quickly. As things stand now, I regard it as a prime example of the good the GoG Dreamlist can do, perhaps resurrecting the project and giving it a new lease on life on the PC.
