      It wasn't out of the loop for them to showcase their previous generation games running on newer hardware, especially a portable console. People wouldn't mind having their old favorites to be playable on the go.
      Of course it isn't something that would done these days, yet there is a growing demand for backwards compatibility.
      Back then, running ps1 games in your palm was amazing for its time. I would've freaked out to see ridge racer running on such a small device, but I guess the audience got bored, it was an interesting yet dull presentation.
      Also to add; the PSP really was aimed for a teen and 18-30 target demographic. Most of them have had fond memories of playing on their original Playstation and this was again, a way to get them excited.

      that really isn't true, usually the only reason they remove backwards compatibility is because of cost, or because there's such a difference between the way games are coded then and now that they cant keep both going together without limiting the new software/hardware. its not like nostalgia is new either, re releases of old games were a thing in the 2000s and if people didn't want backwards compatibility, why did every console have it.

    This comment section is really interesting because I’m seeing multiple nostalgia cycles interacting with each other. There’s nostalgic comments from ten years ago. Like on ridiculeando’s comment, people commented below saying it’s super 2012. Really lets you know how old this video (and conference) is.

    I dream a lot. I'd even say I dream too much. So when I thought of a new Ridge Racer game, I thought it was normal. Of course, many things would have to be changed. After an opening clip during the game, Kaz Hirai's voice would be heard, nothing else.
    "It's Ridge Racer!" he says, in a background with constantly racing cars. If you press Start, the game uses another clip from Hirai: "RIIIIIDGE RAAAACEEERRRR!"
    My friends thought I was nuts.

    It's really terrible that Namco isn't interested in Ridge Racer. what really makes me angry is Namco did not announce a new Ridge Racer, but personified it. For god's sake, Ridge Racer's rival, Cruis'n returned in 2017, Hot Wheels racing game returned in 2021, and LEGO racing game and F-Zero returned this year. Top Gear(Top Racer in Japan) returns next year. Even San Francisco Rush might return. I saw that Digital Eclipse and Atari were interested in San Francisco Rush. If Rush returns, Namco should be prepared to be criticized.
