REDOUT 2 Review - The Final Verdict
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2022
- 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.

I tried to count to 5 without seeing the ship hit the wall.
Lmao. Playing with a Sulha for the first time definitely wasn't a horrible idea
@@stepexgd6628 wouldnt help much with another ship when he still hits the walls on the trakc with the smoothests turns lol
@@wile123456 Star Wars Episode 1: Racer (yes, with Anakin Skywalker!) was more fun than this because the speed is about the same but the racetracks are *WIDE* (with very few narrow sections) and *you hit the walls less often,* even if it's your 1st race!
I know it doesnt seem easy when you feel like you're desperately trying not to bounce from wall to wall, but try looking farther ahead, it improves your spatial awareness, immersing you into the game and deeper into a flow state
that's a life lesson too
I’ve been there
dceafult view should be the cockpit view, since the ship is too much in the center and blocks the view ahead in 3rd person
The game truly deserves the title "THE FASTEST RACING GAME IN THE UNIVERSE". it will give you a blast and the satisfaction that it gives you when you can pull off a clean turn is incredible just like in Elden ring after you kill the bullshit boss for the first time.
Seriously. It's something so simple, but being able to pull off a turn without slamming into a wall is somehow ridiculously satisfying.
@@anhilliator1true. It’s easier for Wipeout players as well i think.
What also CRAZY satisfying is using mega boost in loops, or even add the regular boost with it. So cool!
You sound like a generic add written by a 12 year old...
Are you 12?
Free on epic games 🎉
We have a wipeout successor now we need a Motorstorm successor
PLEASE! Motorstorm and Split Second are the most slept on racing games.
Agree!
@@claytonharrell9046 They are not slept on at all. Motorstorm was a huge success..
Don’t disrespect Wipeout by comparing it to redout! Look deeper in the differences, don’t just look at resolution
@@reeanimationgaming1034 such a success that thay haven’t made a new one in years 😆👍
Redout absolutely sings on high refresh rate monitors. It’s frame-perfect.
Does this game support 120fps?
@@nrXic Yeah I play it at 144hz so I believe the frame rate is unlimited
Is anybody here having issue of game literally being freezed after the Press Any Key startup screen?
This game should deserve more love. it's a shame that too few people know this game, maybe some UA-camr can promote this game.
Because its not a good Dame for Casual Gamer? The devs are stupid to make this game so hard.
@@JonasSaleen you are damn right, sure the game is hard, that's why the Dev implement an assist slider, I tried max assist, the ship is still in your control. It improve like 10s compare to my no assist run. The game really can give you the sense of speed which need for speed really need a lot more speed. 🤣
@@JonasSaleen The game is just not meant for you, so don't play it. I don't go to, say, fighting games and whine that they're too hard for me (since I suck at fighting games) and that they should be easier. I just don't play them.
@@RashFeuer26 "The game is just not meant for you" is something that's fine to say for established and popular titles, but Redout2 is pretty much a flop. I hope for the developer's sake the development costs were relatively cheap...
@@sexylittlewilly Max assist is a joke. The AI decides which way to go and on some tracks the ship acts like it's on rails.
I dialed mine down to less than 50 and my times are actually a little better!
I think I remember playing Redout 1 on Vive VR, was pretty intense
Is there any support for HOTAS/HOSAS? Or is it controller only?
A decent review, but I think you should have talked more about and used driving aids. Plus Redout also has physical limitations. It is a "realistic" game in its setting. There are no "helpers", which can't be explained by lore or track design. At least it feels that way.
Something which is hard to find out is also how much the locations impact the experience. In the first game all tracks were really integrated into the environment and not just tracks slapped into a background.
There was design like few track pieces and no gravity or low gravity, roots which you need to avoid, unique tubes or simply tracks fitted into an environment.
Or stuff which made tracks unique. For example one portal, because the track was one of the first to feature it. Or a "railgun". Or large and small caves. Or debris.
I think this was one of the things which made the design so good and it also made it feel less "gamey", which is rare for games rooted in fiction.
Please remember that there is Pacer (from part of the team of Wipeout) and there is also Antigraviator, although redout looks the best.
BallisticNG is my best ag racing game
Why are there no Ghosts in Time Attack?
I came here to put a review of my own 10/10!!! Never played redout before, it def has a learning curve but it’s addicting Af. The difficulty imo is honestly based off the map. Some maps can be very punishing due to falling off edges or missing a jump. I play on the “Redout difficulty” the AI is aggressive as hell but it’s so satisfying zooming side by side with them or catching up last min for a comeback!!!!
i have NOTHING to do with sport or racing games but this hovercrafter is something different. it is soogood
You should give the original Redout a try too, it's awesome. Should be on a pretty steep sale at some point.
Somehow this reminds me about good old Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Still have it on my old N64 and time to time i still drag my old CRT TV from storage and play my childhood games through it, including star wars racer
Judging by the first game, it's a fun series.
Does have issues though. Mainly, the default controls that require holding down the right trigger while manipulating the right thumbstick absolutely murder your wrists. It's simply not natural to crank the stick while holding the trigger over extended periods.
Skill issue
@@hyperx72 Mechanics issue. Pulling on the trigger while using the right stick at the same time for extended periods is stressful on the joints. A kid probably woundn't notice but any coder who built up carpel tunnel would definitely suffer complications.
@@docsavage4921 There isn't really another efficient way to have a control scheme like that unless you unbound the throttle trigger, so what you're asking for is a completely different method of moving the ships. Also, say hi to every other shooter on controller where you frequently have to do both.
@@hyperx72 Shooters are a bit different though, they don't require as much precision (Hence no need to constantly ride the stick) and you squeeze the left trigger in spurts.
Even despite that of course many will have problems from extended play, due to the ravages of age if nothing else, but having to hold down the left trigger and ride the stick for minutes at a time would exacerbate the problem.
@@docsavage4921 I feel like that's more of an uncomfortable control scheme for certain players, since I feel I'm a lot more used to it without any issues. (Just perfected a race too after trying for at least 30 minutes)
I would love a new Extreme G game. Loved X.G.R.A. the sense of speed was better than Wipeout and brealijg the soundbarrier is awesome.
Ive been one who has been clamoring for Fast RMX to be ported to next generation consoles, as I love the simplistic but robust art style, and the gameplay is nice and challenging..... How would you compare the 2?
Congrats you have been selected among our shortlisted winners,contact the number above to claim........🎁
I do believe it leans more towards other anti-gravity racing games that are more on the arcade side, both Redout (moreso this one) are quite technical, leaning to "simulation" - no wild mechanics, just the track, jumps, and boost
'... and *maybe* some fun race tracks'
I think that might be understating it. It's pretty fundamental
What’s with all the stutters?
The game stutters badly on PC like most PC games recently. It depend on settings too. I fixed it for me by forcing DX11 and setting textures on low.
" The AI feels too aggressive at times, which is fine"
Also reviewer - "I hope this gets patched up".
Like damn dude, next thing you know, people is going to be referring to this game as a "souls like" racer 🤷♂️
As a Wipeout fan I was expecting a more technical game. The game looks beautiful but the driving is not precise and the tracks are mostly straight lines. Have you tried PACER?
The last game I played that felt this fast yet in control was F-zero X* and SW: Episode I Racer. I really enjoy Redout because it requires some practice to really get good on a track.
* F-Zero GX had better graphics but never felt fair in terms of difficulty or control
You have a similar game back in 2001 and its called Ballistics. It was really good and hard, but it was not so known back then.
You mean BallisticNG, right?
@@stepexgd6628 no Ballistics 2001 - Developed by Grin.
Is this coming to VR? 1st version had PC VR mode
It reminds me of the game I used to play called "killer loop" !!
so far I like the first redout better since it's easier on the eyes with it's motion blur as this one has none ;/ but it's clear to me that they've at least tried to improve over the original. So they get mad props lmao
If you like Redout II
BallisticNG is an instant buy ;)
BallisticNG is honestly one of the best games I've stumbled across.
All I want is a modern Wipeout with 21:9 and 32:9 support. HDR and full Freesync adaptive sync features. If it would be released for PC I wouldn’t have bought my last 3 Sony consoles.
I recently download redout and the HUD style is completely different from this one. How do we change it?
Hes on console😊
On my pc it looks different
@@FANMADETRAILERSOnVideogames Oh I get it. Silly me 😅
I can't think of anything less satisfying than bumping into walls on each side of a narrow track. Same reason why I don't like Hot Wheels in Forza 5.
"final" but if the first game is anything to go by, it'll at least get a lot of support.
Hopefully because the game itself is amazing but there's some tech issues

9/10. -1 for broken/too hard speed mode races... but in first redout i have the same problems with this mode.
They get much easier once you unlock Conqueror, and even more so as you memorize the tracks and get more performance upgrades.
3:41 lol how'd you die there was someone going backwards
GOING FAST MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE!
Why is this footage so choppy? No way it runs like that surely. Something up with this capture I swear
Tried it on the switch... The frame rate is all over the place making the game pretty unplayable. Gonna try it on the Xbox series s next time there a decent sale.
It's on sale now
better than the last 3 free epic store vault games ngl
If i have a money or choose my wishlist of my parents, i will play this game if have a redout 2 physical version games, well that's my wishlist
the gameplay at the start 💀💀
Guy spent more time on the walls than the track.
Playing some of the later levels, boy I miss walls.
Okay, no I cannot sit down through the whole thing from the visuals I get to see. Or when I heard the line that taking too much damage takes you out of the race.
First off, that is something only for Arena races where a ship death always results in a DNF. I'm sure people will counter with Last Man races and respawning puts you at a massive gap disadvantage. LMS races auto-eliminate last so they don't waste time getting the lap finished when they'd be taken out anyway; And even toward A-league have I've been able to clutch back a win from a crash.
Redout Difficulty, 0% on all assists that I set manually. So don't say I'm not being challenged.
And just the constant wall bonking from weak track and vehicle knowledge just paaaaiins me to see it. And to see the immediate run to arcade instead of walking first with at least completing B-class to the A-class promo.
I know I'll sound elitist on those; but please. Do try to take it slower at first. Redout 2 is a lot of learning to do; Tracks, ship stats, ship selection, and burning up to the edge of your HP with only audio clues.
There isn't shame not going the absolute fastest from the get-go. Like how a new boxer can't challenge the champions from the start; its learning the fundamentals first.
I can't imagine you got far into this judging by these captures
Extreme g n64 vibes
This isn't an arcade racer. It's more like a sim. It also plays nothing like F-Zero (GX).
Great review!
i miss F Zero
You are hitting the walls way, way too much. you won't even get to S league unless you race clean. The problem with reviewing a game like readout 2 if that you have to race clean and fast through a steep learning (competence) curve to ever come to appreciate it properly. Very few people will manage to get to the SRRL league. This game is serious about skill. It revels in an old school level of difficulty that will take months to progress through... but dam it is fun to go this fast!
Did you want him to wait months for him to review the game and "git good" before he does? If that's the case reviews will take too long to release and it kind of defeats the purpose. Reviewers don't have months of time to just spend time with one game.. They review games and many games through out the year. Think it be best if the reviewer maybe got some clean footage and had someone who can actually play lol.
@@Killswitch1411 good points and thats why we should never take game reviews too seriously. I agree about the footage too, that's just really bad racing. Ugh!
the people who enjoyed it most are veterans from the first game, since it retains most of the principles of the other, but now refined
partly it's because these veterans understand that Redout is "arcade" merely out of reality limitations, it's pretty consistent and technical like racing games that lean to simulation, and that's why it's both so satisfying and challenging
No kidding. I was attempting a Time Attack event today with one of Old Cairo's reverse tracks, and it took me over an hour to get 4 stars because:
1. I was hitting the walls too much.
2. Hard to maintain long sharp turns mixed with pitching upward.
3. Lack of track signs in certain spots that could potentially slow me down if not pitched correctly, meaning I had to fully memorize them myself or pay closer attention to the driver notes.
4. Boost management while taking energy management into consideration, which isn't efficient because recharging stops at the moment I hit a wall, meaning boosting less often than the proper amount.
5. Trial-and-error regarding which route in split paths is shorter.
You actually need to take your time and fully practice each track, normal and reversed, if you ever want to nail most of the events in the campaign.
The learning curve in the game could take days, weeks, even months, before the game can be truly enjoyed to the max.
I'm still in the B-League, and the variety of events just keeps me motivated to keep going. The unlockables are quite nice as well.
@@MrGRmask I'm starting out in S league but there are some wicked speed events I have to get through to advance further.
Seem like a good time to take a very long break.
I know it's arcade, but I'd like a wipeout-like game, but more on the side of simulator. I know sounds BS because there is no such thing as anti gravity, but to me it would be refreshing.
Great game only if hitting the wall wasn’t as consistent as it is in game
Who is here because the game is free on epic games 🤓☝️
I plan on my entire family adding it and hopefully it can be fully LAN supported. And would be nice if it was more like Wipeout. I don’t play Redout much because the control and feel is junk compared to Wipeout
I am gald that they made a sequel. But after playing Reodut 1, Redout 2 seems like a massive downgrade. The only thing that really improved are the controlls.
The rest is arguably worse.
that's nostalgic my man, i like the old tracks more too but the even better controls art sick and the boostsystem is perfect for this game. ...but it's so fukin hard sometimes...
Honestly I see many improvements in Redout 2, so for me it is a clear upgrade.
@@GangOfVortex The controlls got better, yet. But I would debate about the booster system. It is clear that about half of all players don't really like it. And I see why. It takes away so much from the racing and creates a managing simulator. Plus, the warning and regen sound effects really are quite annoying when you try to use the boost as much as possible.
The problem with Redout 2 is that it is the only real option for AG racers right now. The controlsl are amazing but everything else really got downgraded from Reodut 1. The actual game speed is reduced, the campagin mode is even more of an mess, the upgrade system got completely linear, race tracks and enviroments lost so much character and the ost got significantly more pale and uncharacteristic. The races themself are great, but they don't have much character and flair anymore. They don't follow any design language.
Many people don't seem to care too much for quality but looking from professional perspectives, artists, musicians and game designers are heavily criticising the game in the forums. Not because something would be terrible, but simply because the game lost so much quality compared to the first game. Random players are happy regardles but Redout fans are a bit disapointed to see their belioved franchise treated like this.
The controls are the biggest downgrade dude. Its mainstream as fuck now. Ships turn to easily. gone are the drone physics that made me enjoy the first one.
@@Wylie288 Interesting. You are the first person that I see that dislikes the conbtrolls, not including the boosting mechanics, which almost everybody dislikes.
I admit, the controls felt a bit strange at first. But one gets used to it fast.
Personally, I like the more snappy controlls, even when it lost a bit of that "drone" like feeling.It allows for much sharper turns and tracks.
Regarding that, I would have prefered it when the different ships would have greater variances in controlls, so everybody can get what they want.
I also really like that we now have to turn the ship during a jump, but I kind of dislike that they implemented it using the D-Pad.
This game is great. It's hard yes - it demands that you git gud. But it has an incredible sense of speed. Nothing compares to taking a corner perfectly at 1200 km (750 miles) per hour.
Yep, I love games that force you to git gud. Loved all the souls and I'm taking a break from rocket league to play this and oh boy it's nice. I'm playing zero assists and redout difficulty and it's amazing
Damn...! The way you keep banging the walls so many times under 30 seconds, due to the narrow track, doesn't look like "fun" to me! *Star Wars RACER* had very wide race tracks (with some narrow *straights!)* which minimize the chances of constantly hitting the walls and increases the FUN factor!! The developers of RedOut 2 should have paid attention!
game journalists, everyone
This isn't an arcade racer?
Play Pole Position. Thats an arcade racer. This is far too complex to be something deployed anywhere in an arcade machine. Its a full one racing game bro.
Or play Burnout, now THERE is a true arcade racer.
I don’t want to sound rude but you need more practice. I became very good at this game. I love this game
tanx 4 the rev

Choppy framerate.

do better or get gud 🤣
" if it can achieve the same status as rocket league " ... aka " if it can somehow compete with the product of the merging of 3 megacorporations worht more than entire countries combined " 🤣🤣🤣
It's a racing game not hitting the wall game.
This game shouldn't be at 30fps. It's a crime.
I tried 30 and 60 on the original PC version, tbh you can't tell the difference.
@@docsavage4921 I wish I was like that. Unfortunately I can and it makes gaming all more expensive lol.
Why no weapons tho...
Weapons slowed the game down in the original title, at least that's the multiplayer feedback. They would need heavy balancing that would overhaul the game entirely to maintain the speed while providing explosive action.
I guess the developers found they were more trouble than they were worth to implement. It's hard getting a game this fast to be functional, much less adding chaotic ballistic mechanics.
For me personally I didn't like items in the first game I feel like it was one of the reasons that one never clicked with me. I much prefer this game over the first I just can't stop wanting to play more.
None of these games feel as good as F-Zero.
Oh wow! Pitch! Never done before in a futuristic ship race game! Never before right???? Pitch is new?
LOL. Well the twin stick control does allow turn, strafe and ptich/yaw/roll which taken together are a next level of control imo. It requires more skill to fly ckean, you can't complete the game without it.
Not new. F-Zero X had this on the N64. Always pitched the nose down right after the mute city loop.
Literally Wipeout 1.
4 players online on Steam. kekw
Amogus
Yay twelfth place
So f zero
Redout II is decent, 8 out of 10.
30fps bro
Cool, but the art style is so bad I cant look at it. I will keep playing BallisticNG.
Yes, the color schemes are distracting, too intense and jarring. but you'll get used to it.
You're nuts, this game is one of the most beautiful games ever. Amazing colors and variety.
@@YashaAstoradude, try to relax.
i don't know why, but this game looks incredible WHILE playing
Redout is lazy art
Yep!
mad cus you cant drive? or er fly!
ahhhhhhhhh .... please show video of someone driving WELL!! ... all this constant crashing against walls makes me vomit
Redout 2 is a hard-ish game for sure, but damn this guy is just terrible. Maybe try playing the game with at the very least one of your eyes open...?
Anyone can review a game but this guy can't even play this game right.
I got this pirated on pc from 3 (reputable 😂) sights.. and not one would load up so f this game
maybe you should support the developers instead
@@Dasheble maybe the developers should make a better game with lower difficulty for Casual Gamer? Own fault.
@@JonasSaleen So because you suck you automatically deserve it for free?
@@JonasSaleen get good or get out.
@@JonasSaleen Partly that, but the most important thing they should make is a demo. Then again, virtually no one would buy RedOut 2 if they had the chance to play a comprehensive demo...
Love anti gravity racing, but this looks shit and half baked, and last resort left a bad taste in my mouth with shit tracks and not to mention pacers horrible race challenges, and 0 multiplayer interest, I’ll skip
It is a poorly designed game that disguises it FLAWS as "DIFFICULTY"...
Old trick, nothing new...
This game is not only a CHEAP rip off of the Wipeout series (where the real fun and DIFFICULTY is), but it is "difficult" in the same way it would be "difficult" for you to win... IF I TIED YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!...
It is "difficult" not because it demands skill from the player or because of a well balanced system that is precise, with a small margin of error...
If you want crazy, fun, challenging anti grav racing...
WIPEOUT SERIES is sadly the only choice (so far).
Let this garbage join the likes of E.T. THE DUMP!
Cant stand the AI sounding voice!
There's no combat? Why?!
This could have been the "Blur" of antigrav racing.
What a miss.
The combat is the player wrestling with the controls. lol
you'd be to busy with straffing and boost
