Never made it out of Japan, and it was probably a better concept than it ended up being as a game... but it was around.<br><br>Then there were, as you hinted at, some racers with more RPG-ish elements. SNK's Riding Hero was an early Neo Geo motorcycle racer with a story mode. Ridge Racer Type 4 was kind of similar in that it had an actual narrative story mode. <br><br>At any rate, I'm thrilled to see anything new Ridge Racer. I love 6 and 7 (6.5?), and I'm happy to see we may not have to wait for a new console launch to see the next entry in the series.

There have been many racing games that have some RPG elements, and vice-versa. But never really a true fusion of the two. That's actually something I'm surprised we haven't really seen, a Racing RPG.
