That's not it lol... I just think gamers after PS2 era really don't know what Ridge Racer is.
The franchise was popular in 1993 with the Nanco Arcades and became even more popular as the launch title for PS1 in 1994... the reveiwers praised the graphics and audio never saw before in a racer game... a milestone for the industry.
The PS1 received a lot of more Ridge Racer titles... and after that is common a new console release received a Ridge Racer launch title.
Ridge Racer 64 - N64
Ridge Racer V - PS2
Ridge Racer 6 - 360
Ridge Racer 7 - PS3
Ridge Racer 3D - 3DS
Ridge Racer Vita - Vita
The game is not more that important for the industy because a lot of race games evolved and revolutionized the game industry... and Ridge Races just continue to do the same think everytime for every console game.
But it is classic... and expected in every launch console announce... so that's why the people go crazy when before the announce of the PS3 the Kaz shouted Riiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer... so time to PS3 reveal.
Everybody here expect a new Ridge Racer launch title for PS4 and Kaz shouting again... classic.
