Sweet! Enjoyed this on Xbox

No release date still. Will keep an eye out.

Have the platinum trophies for both Wipeout HD PS3 and Wipeout Omega Collection PS4.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Looks great!

 

[VeganElduderino]

How is is Redout 1 ?

 

[Fbh]

Nice, looks really good. I actually like the art direction in this better than in Wipeout

How is is Redout 1 ?

Haven't played it but it has a 80 metascore and "very positive" reviews on Steam. So apparently it's pretty good.

 

[Alexios]

Doesn't look better than last gen WipEout (which itself was just a gen-before-the-last-gen remaster to begin with).

It look just as good , but Redout 2 looks like wipeout on steroids .

BallisticNG is WipEout on steroids.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

This looks good. We need a brand new Wipeout on ps5 though! Loved the Wipeout collection on ps4 pro. Native 4k/60 fps and fun as hell.

That's a fuggly one tho

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Makes me want a new Extreme-G Racing game.

This is my problem, I tried Red Out 1 and Pacer but the former doesn't hook me or feel as good as Wipeout HD/Fury/Omega Collection and the latter had weird performance problems I couldn't solve, the framerate would crash when I passed over transparent track sections even when it perfect 60 at all other times, made it unplayable. I should go back and try it at 1080p maybe to brute force through the issue but the game was crusty as fuck at 1440p so I just gave up. Obviously gameplay is king but I want it to look decent as well.

I should just play Omega Collection on PS5 I suppose, because I never really dug into the new league much, I had Elite Gold on every track in the HD league except bloody the Phantom Sol 2 Single Race and the Phantom Tournament on the last page because I would/could get Gold on every race but I couldn't even finish Phantom Sol 2 without exploding and would come 2nd or 3rd on Chenghou Project at best. Eventually I just had to accept I can't do it, or at least not the way I was playing. Maybe the more fine-grained/accurate sticks and triggers on the Dualsense will help with cornering.

I haven't tried Grip but Rollcage was always more of a silly fun game than something where I felt driven (harhar) to actually do better and progress.

Great.

 

[ipukespiders]

While this game looks great, it just reminds me that I need to revisit Wipeout HD on the PS3. It's been way too long.

 

[PJX]

Sweet! Enjoyed this on Xbox

Was it arcadey controls (Daytona, Sega Rally) or more like Forza Horizon?

 

[freefornow]

How is is Redout 1 ?

I couldnt get into it. Pretty enough. But Wipeout superior in just about every aspect in my opinion.

I'll get it for free !

 

[CleverCaviar]

my apologies for the necro, but someone leaked the original Wipeout source code: PSX and Windows builds



I found the most recent, and relevant discussion, and here I am. If someone wants to make a dedicated thread, cool. This could then be deleted.

 

[Shifty]

Going by the first one, RedOut is no next-gen WipEout - it's closer to the lovechild of F-Zero GX and WipEout Pulse / WipEout HD thanks to the strafe mechanic. Good shit though.

BallisticNG is WipEout on steroids.

A fellow student of culture I see

 

[Md Ray]

How is is Redout 1 ?

Pretty good.

 

[Miles708]

How is is Redout 1 ?

It was ... not bad, but it felt like a bit amateur in the overral "packaging" of the experience, from UI to UX in general. Soured me on the rest of the game, t the point where i resold it.
I hope they managed to craft a better User Experience with this sequel, hope it'll feel more like a complete package than an indie PC game.

 

[yurinka]

It looks good, but isn't the next-gen Wipeout I want. The one I one is a brand new proper Wipeout and made by Sony (Firesprite). Until now the most similar game to Wipeout I saw recently is Pacer (specially its PC version).

 

[RoadHazard]

Looks nice enough, but I don't know about "next-gen". Doesn't look that much better than Wipeout HD from two generations ago.

 

[01011001]

the issues I have with most modern Racing games like these is the lack of an actually enticing career/campaign mode.
I feel like that part gets so often neglected and the games suffer from it. and I hope this one does it better

because let's be real here. how long will the online community really have a stable playerbase to make the game interesting beyond the initial release window if it doesn't have a good career mode?
especially for games without crossplay that splinter the already relatively small playerbase into multiple systems

 

[ReBurn]

I wonder if the Windows version will compile and run?

 

[Notabueno]

Redout is a good game, but unfortunately is nowhere near Wipeout, especially in terms of design, some of the most renowned designers worked on it in the 90s/Y2K.

Looks good, and the dynamic soundtrack sounds interesting.

For some reason, I've never been a fan of the strafing in these games. Just something I didn't want to deal with, and it has sort of kept me from playing them more than I'd like to.

 

[Alexios]

This is a promising candidate (but doesn't have AAA+++ gfx either).


It seems like WipEout meets Jetborne Racing but less simmy than it.

 

[A.Romero]

Just a PSA for anyone interested: Redout is available for free at EGS in case anyone wants to try it out.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

34BigThings' sci-fi series Redout decided to branch off and experiment with things, and last year, the result of that was space shooter Redout: Space Assault. When all was said and done, it wasn't an experiment that worked out for the best, but thankfully, the series will soon be returning to what it's good at.

After some delays, Redout 2 is finally going to launch imminently, and here, we're going to talk about the game, its key details, and why you should be excited about it.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I have the first game,

I remember it was too hard as hell!!! and that they were the first tracks.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

How is is Redout 1 ?

HARD AS HELL!!! But awesome.

Its the "F-ZERO" (Almost) of Playstation... also coming to Switch.

 

[Fahdis]

Wipeout Vet here with muh Plats. RedOut is the only game that satisfied my itch for speed but not necessarily vehicular combat because there isnt any. But the music, colors and speed is absolutely amazing and the DLC track design is BONKERS! Wipeout doesn't come close in terms of this. What Wipeout is good at though is the stress of the vehicular combat while going at Super-Sonic or Rapier speeds. RedOut is definitely faster. Unless we talk about Zone mode, but to get to those speeds you have to be a Zone Zeus.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Physics seem more arcadey and vehicles feel a bit weightless compared to wipeout. Solid ripoff though, didn't even bother to change the name a bit to set itself apart. Reminds me of Land Rover vs Land Wind.

 

[Varteras]

Since Sony brought Firesprite back into the fold, they were formerly Studio Liverpool who made Wipeout before Sony shut them down, I wonder if we'll see another entry from them. Firesprite seems to be working on a lot of projects. Last I heard they could be working on as many as five right now. Obviously Horizon VR, but also a mobile game, a narrative adventure, and two multiplayer games. If they can work on four or five projects at once, I would imagine in the future it wouldn't be much of a hassle to set aside a small team to work on a new Wipeout. This game just reminds me how much fun I had with the franchise. Especially back in the early days.

Just tells me you haven't played the game. Its not a ripoff by any stretch of the imagination just because its an anti-grav racer. In this scenario Forza, Arsetto, Project Cars and Gran Turismo are also rip-offs of one another. Wtf.

 

[Apocryphon]

The first game was ok. This also looks like it will be pretty good but I'd kill off all of these Wipeout-inspired racers for an actual next gen Wipeout or an F-Zero game for Switch.

Yeah, redOUT, and fictional anti-gravity vehicles that are not found in reality is the same as racing cars that exist in real life.

Because Digital Cars are so much more real than the real ones? Oh no.

[Cattlyst]

Picked it up yesterday. More of the same - if you enjoyed the first game you’ll enjoy the sequel. I picked it up on XSX and it’s super fast. Intrigued to see how it runs on Switch when it launches (played the first game on Switch a few years back)

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Adding this to my wishlist. I had tons of fun playing the first Redout.

 

[Drew1440]

Looking forward to this, Now we just need a new Wipeout from Sony, F-Zero from Nintendo and Quantum Redshift remake from Microsoft.

 

[Doctor Hades]

I really enjoyed the first Redout and the visual design was really stunning too as was the sheer sense of speed. I've been waiting for a sequel for a long time but I also enjoyed Pacer as well, which was graphically more sophisticated and closer resembled the PlayStation WipEout games.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Thanks to its focus on speed and a relatively high-skill ceiling, Redout 2 might end up being too niche for some. This also means that it’s a rather one-of-a-kind game these days, and if going down insane tracks at high speeds in futuristic rocket ships sounds fun, Redout 2 can be a great time.
