You wait years for a good WipEout clone, and then several are scheduled to release the same year that the seminal series is making a comeback. Redout is one such anti-grav racer, and it’s set to suit up on the PlayStation 4 starting 29th August in North America and 31st August in Europe. It’ll be available both physically and digitally on Sony’s system.
Dubbed the Lightspeed Edition, the title will include an exclusive PlayStation-themed livery for all in-game crafts, and will also come with both the Europa and Neptune add-on packs included for free. The racer’s already available on the PC, but the PS4 version will see the addition of split-screen, complementing the obligatory online mode.
The problem is that WipEout Omega Collection is set to release in a matter of weeks and... Well, the original’s always the best, isn’t it?

I played the demo on Steam and it is a REALLY good looking game IMO. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of the feel of controlling the vehicles.
Great timing.
OmG, Redout vs Wipeout!
Which is better?
Another?! There's that Formula Fusion coming out soonish as well.
The jury is out on whether Redout and Formula Fusion can match up to WipEout, but at the very least, we're getting a WipEout game and two competent imitators.
Not the greatest timing, but hopefully they all sell well enough that we see AG racers, and arcade racers in general, make a full comeback.
I've been recently play wipeout hd/fury on the ps3 again and it really is an outstanding game, while I'm pretty useless at it. But as I only have 1080p TV I'm not sure why I would need to pick this up on Ps4. Also the Ps4 version has lost the 3d mode, which was amazing on ps3. Is there more to the game beyond 4k making it worth dropping £39.99 on it?
@K-Wud Well, it'll also include WipEout 2048, the PS Vita title. So you're effectively getting two games in one (plus the Fury content). If you've not played it, that may be enough to justify a purchase.
I'm personally getting the Omega Collection because I don't have my PS3 anymore, and I feel that WipEout works better on a TV rather than a handheld (although 2048 still plays pretty well on Vita!)
Edit: Also, it's £29.99, not £39.99, so that may help persuade you too!
We also have Distance releasing this year, which is another awesome looking futuristic racer (with very positive Steam reviews).
Awesome trailer. Looks a lot better than wipeyourbutt
I'll be getting Wipeout its a brilliant game, where as don't know if this is any good.
Excellent, we've been waiting on a release date for ages. Looks awesome, and splitscreen is always a plus!
