So, WipEout: Omega Collection may be out next week on PS4, but for PC gamers, here's your solution for a futuristic racing fix. At a lowest-ever price of £10.79 (60% off), Bundle Stars are offering the excellent Redout: Enhanced Edition as their latest 'Star Deal', available for 24 hours only.
Blurb from the listing: ----------------------- NEXT GENERATION AG RACING IS HERE!
AD 2560. Earth has been stripped of its natural resources. High-speed racing is all that matters now. Redout is a tribute to the old racing monsters such as F-Zero, WipeOut, Rollcage, and POD. It is designed to be an uncompromising, fast, tough and satisfying driving experience, soaked in that vertigo that stands at the core of the arcade racing genre.
Redout is the fastest game ever made. If you can handle it. It's not about the numbers you see on screen, it's about the vibrations, the landscape and buildings flying by, the high-speed collisions, the effects, the sounds, the immersion: everything is meant to feel like you're going FAST.
The floating system and driving models are based on physics: each turn, slope, hard braking, acceleration, each turn and twist of the track will apply a unique force to the ship. A sharp low-polygon style blends meshes and terrains with the latest state-of-the-art shading and lighting effects provided by the Unreal Engine 4, creating beautiful and instantly recognisable aesthetics. Breezy coastlines, eerie frozen landscapes, vast desert plains: the melancholic, dystopian atmosphere of a semi abandoned Earth is the background for the most high-speed, tense and beautiful futuristic racing clashes.
BEST EVER PRICE! Do you think you have what it takes to be the best Redout pilot in history? Prove it. For 24 hours only or until stocks last, save a blistering 60% on Redout: Enhanced Edition and achieve true glory.
Key Features:
- Online multiplayer - match against 12 players around the world for a real challenge
- Optional VR Support - Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or OSVR. Get inside your HMD to experience 3D and distances like never before
- Career mode - 100+ events to race, experience, level up and upgrade your ship
- A Diverse World - 25 tracks scattered around 5 locations on a post-apocalyptic Earth, plus boss circuits
- Never bored - 7 event types, from classic Race to innovative Arena Race and Score-Based Endurance
- Create your story - 6 racing teams, each requiring a different driving approach, and 4 increasingly fast racing classes
- Unprecedented Control - Control is the most important feeling when you are racing at 800km/h. We came up with the next generation in AG handling.
- Powerup - 10+ racing-focused, upgradable powerups: additional turbo, shields, self-repair drone, advanced grip system, slipstream enhancers, and more
- Music for your ears - full 5.1 support and a dynamic soundtrack that will drop sicker and sicker beats the faster you go!

True :stuck_out_tongue: I am impressed the Switch version is getting released earlier! Usually the other way round.

There are better information sources than Metacritic. :wink:
But yes, the game is coming to consoles later this year - PS4/Xbox One on 31 August; Switch on 27 July (give or take a couple of days).

People are going to find Wipeout super tame if you have played this. For me this is the best AG racer ever made.

Thanks, after hearing all the negative press about formula fusion and the latest release I got this.
Now I just need to watch Hackers and listen to the Prodigy, Voodoo People on repeat

If you're getting Redout after a Wipeout, consult your GP.
