This is a comparison to both Arcade and PS2 versions of Ridge Racer V (released for the PS2 as a launch title for the console back in 2000 and on the arcade in 2001)

You can actually spot the difference in both versions, since the Arcade version uses the Namco System 246 hardware (which is a more powerful PS2 arcade hardware), the graphics are way more darker in that version. While the PS2 version are way too bright

Plus the intro uses a full 3D environment instead of FMVs. For proof, you can check it on PCSX2 Emulator by changing the graphic settings


I don't own both the clips so i may credit it for the original video capture of the intros
