Anti-gravity racing games

lol poor

it's fantastic

i've been playing a lot of these wipeout/podracing/fzero games lately, and redout is BY FAR the platinum choice for competitive high-stakes, skill based gameplay. Oh, and speed.

Redout boasts a large variety of beautiful, challenging tracks with amazing music, a huge selection of sweet rides, four speed classes, a high skill ceiling, a dedicated community, devoted developers, vibrant and detailed graphics, an optimized backend so anyone can play, and an unrivaled feeling of speed.

The game is fucking hard, and if you feel like you'd get frustrated mastering every little mechanic, then you'd be better off playing a simpler game like FAST or formula fusion, y'know, for kids.

But if you're down with playing a multilayered experience that's all about breakneck speed, and tight/intricate controls, Redout is the undisputed champion here.

I've played f-zero, wipeout, pod racing, fast rmx, formula fusion, GRIP, airride midoki, and motherfucking redout.
of these games,the only one that even comes close to the deep controls of redout is f-zero, and the only ones that compare in terms of speed are, again, f-zero, and FAST rmx.

FUCK, I LOVE REDOUT SO GODDAMN MUCH

Have you got a video showing how fast it can get? I thought about getting it but it fell off the radar due to Wipeout.

...

Is this fresh copypasta?

...

I haven't seen a gameplay video of Redout yet that doesn't look like a fucking crawl.
It looks fun and all, but this shit here doesn't even come close to the subsonic speed class of Fast RMX in this video. Is this just the bottom speed class? Where can I find a video that shows off the real speed the game can offer, or is this shit as fast as it gets? Also, is there an option to turn off that sickening motion blur? That shit is terrible.

To be fair, that second paragraph reads pretty heavily like a marketing promo.

shit's not letting me embed, just look up "class 4 redout" on youtube. And sure, they might not have all these burs and shit like fast racing does to make you think you're going extremely fast, it instead conveys how fucking fast you're going to the player through the controls.

with fast racing, I was always able to tackle the corners every time, no matter how fast, and the game instead makes you think you're going WAY faster when you boost by just blurring everything and raising the FOV.

You can /feel/ the speed, it can't be conveyed through videos alone.

At this point they could do a 1:1 HD port of F-Zero GX to any modern console with online MP hastily tacked on and I'd buy 3 copies of it so I could play with my brothers.

RIP Extreme Gravity Rage

I'm gonna guess the "sense of speed" he was going on about IS the blur, and he's a pleb. But that gameplay video is also clearly some kind of polygon-tier (((games journalist))) so you can't count on them to follow a racing line, maintain speed, or know how to fucking turn without hitting a wall.

Emulate this. Then weep that Psygnosis is dead.

No.

Dude Redout footage is like 100% blur and after-effects.
I turned motion blur off in FAST RMX before I even started racing. Can I turn all this shit off in Redout?
And I'm loving how the first result I found for Redout Class 4 racing shows a guy trying to skip a portion of the track F-Zero GX style and running into an invisible wall and exploding. The wall even becomes a visible grid of neon lines to let you know it's there. I'm not impressed.

I agree that 3 is better but just saying no, doesn't really count as an argument.

The cake broke embedding, because Javascript is shit. They put in the cake, and redefined a global function which stomped on posting.

Until it gets fixed, you can go to Options, then User JS, and put this in there and hit save to fix post options:

null !== document.querySelector('form[name="postcontrols"]') && document.querySelector('form[name="postcontrols"]').addEventListener("mouseup", function() { sessionStorage.quoteClipboard = window.getSelection().toString() }), $(".post-table-options").css("display", "none"), window.optionsShowing = !1, $(document).on("click", ".show-post-table-options", function() { return window.optionsShowing ? ($(".show-post-table-options").html("[▶ " + _("Show post options & limits") + "]"), $(".post-table-options").css("display", "none"), window.optionsShowing = !1) : ($(".show-post-table-options").html("[▼ " + _("Hide post options & limits") + "]"), $(".post-table-options").css("display", "table"), window.optionsShowing = !0), !1 }), document.forms.postcontrols && document.forms.postcontrols.password && (document.forms.postcontrols.password.value = localStorage.password), 1 != window.location.hash.indexOf("q") && window.location.hash.substring(1) && highlightReply(window.location.hash.substring(1))

All that is is the code in the global init() function that the cake redefined. Putting it in User JS forces it to execute anyway, fixing post options. If you put "audio[0].pause()" either at the top or bottom of that, you can also force the audio to start out paused so it doesn't play in every fucking tab.

Did you play Fast in Hypersonic? Fast is pretty easy in subsonic and supersonic. Hypersonic is still rather easy for GP, but most of the fun is playing against real people anyway, and it gets the speed. Fast has some blur and FOV narrowing during the boosts, but Redout has that shit cranked to the max by default. As long as I could turn that shit off, I'd be alright with it.
I'm probably still going to buy Redout anyway, just because I'm so starved for good antigrav racers.

Weapons and other lolfucked mechanics ruin racing games

64 just feels like an afterthought compared to Wipeout XL and 3

That's an opinion

It's a fact.

Probably Holla Forums fucking up again.

I found this: youtube.com/watch?v=eHdmWjoLytU
It looks pretty fast. If that speedometer is in km/h, then the player moves at around mach 1 on straights, and mach 0.5 during turns. I'll have to agree with on the effects though. They're a bit too much, and unless the Switch version lets you turn them off it'll be just as hard to play on handheld mode as Fast RMX.
I might get it after beating Wipeout and RMX.

It's the cake; see for a temporary fix.

I'm still going to buy Redout. There are few enough of these games that I can buy absolutely every major one that comes out and not come close to breaking the bank.

HOW THE FUCK I DO DOWNLOAD THE MUSIC GODDAMMIT I HATE WINDOWS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Let's ahve a thoguht for those other AG games that never quite made it to popularity
And other but I'm too lazy to remember

If you mean the music playing in the thread just use inspect element and the network tab, granted it will only work if you're fast enough to catch the file being buffered or have it on while browsing normally but still.
There's probably some other way or even an extension that does the job for you but I don't care enough to look that up.

...

Seriously though, why does nobody talk about this game? It's fun as fuck.

Mark posted the megalink for it all.

Why does my thread still have the cake?

I had. I figured it was probably the Alacrity daemon and that making a post would fix it. Indeed, it went away right after I made my post.
