That looks like a good price... What's RRP? Also, does this include the VR mod?

NEXT GENERATION AG RACING IS HERE! Redout is a tribute to the classic 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. 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 recognizable 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.
Speed. 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.
Features:
Includes Europa and Neptune DLC, plus a format exclusive livery for all your ships. Split screen to race against a friend/online multiplayer mode for up to 6 players. Career Mode: +100 events to race, experience, levels. Ship Upgrade: 4 upgrade categories for each ship: Engine, Magnets, Structure, Energy. A Diverse World: 30 tracks scattered around 6 locations on a post-apocalyptic Earth, plus boss circuits. Different Challenges: 11 event types: Race, Pure Race, Time Attack, Pure Time Attack, Speed, Instagib, Survival, Score Based Endurance, Last Man Standing, Boss, Arena Race. Create your story: 7 racing teams, each requiring a different driving approach, and 4 increasingly fast racing classes. Powerups: 12 racing-focused, upgradable powerups: additional turbo, shields, self-repair drone, advanced grip system, slipstream enhancers and more.
Hard to give an rrp as not many places are selling it. But it's the cheapest I could find, hopefully mine arrives tomorrow.
No mention of vr mode for ps4 :thinking:

Thanks... I've just read that they're planning to add PSVR support in a few months... Rumours are that it'll be a free patch :smile:

Good to hear, I don't imagine it'll be that complex to do. Other vr patches I've had seem to be amazingly small for what they do.
Hopefully the console versions are as good as on PC!

Already known to be good; it's been out on PC for ages. Unfortunately for the developers now it has WipeOut Omega collection to compete with.

Played about 100 hours of the PC version, I love this game so much, more than any other AG racing game I've played. Makes Wipeout look tame by comparison.

Might have to pick this up. I love Wipeout but I have pretty much completed it and so not sure I want to re-buy it again anyway. Saying that no doubt I will once it's real cheap but this looks pretty awesome.

Does the Wipeout online multiplayer not have the replayability factor?

I guess so maybe yeah.

There's enough room for more than one futuristic racer surely?

Of course! Especially on Xbox where Wipeout is not present.

Seems like a very good game, career mode has plenty of options with two upgrade systems.
