History VideoGame / Redout

''Redout'' is a futuristic RacingGame developed by Italian indie outfit [=34BigThings=]. Largely inspired by games like ''VideoGame/{{Wipeout}}'' and ''VideoGame/FZero'', it released onto Steam on September 2, 2016, and came out on UsefulNotes/Playstation4 and UsefulNotes/XboxOne on August 29th, 2017, with a UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch port (handled by Creator/{{Nicalis}}) coming out on May 14th, 2019. It was also released onto the Epic Game Store for free in the first week it was on the store between 12th May - 19th May, 2022.

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted in the sequel. Heat management is ''critical'' and as a result, hot parts of the track (indicated by the track walls turning yellow) means a much longer delay between turning off the boosters and cooling down.

* MightyGlacier: The Koeniggswerth ships have the best hull structure and have great handling, coupled up with a decent energy pool. However, they're the slowest team off the line and their top speed isn't much better, either.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Unlike many other anti-gravity racing games, which use the left analog stick to steer and pitch, the shoulder buttons or triggers to strafe, and the face buttons to accelerate and brake (except in ''VideoGame/{{Wipeout}}'' where under the tradition control scheme, strafe buttons are air brakes rather than having a singular brake button) ''Redout''[='=]s default control scheme on consoles uses the left stick exclusively to turn, the right stick to pitch and strafe, and the shoulder triggers to accelerate and brake; as such, veterans of other antigrav racers may have a hard time adapting to these controls. That said, there is also a "Classic" control scheme that is more in line with those other games.

The game is set in the year 2560 AD, after a mass exodus from an Earth that has been stripped of all its natural resources and made too difficult to inhabit due to global warming. [[ColonizedSolarSystem Most humans have inhabited other planets and satellites within the Solar System like the Moon, Mars, Titan and the other moons of Saturn]] through {{terraforming}}, while the Earth is now largely used as a place for testing and amusement parks. Meanwhile, a popular sport, called the Solar Redout Racing League, or SRRL for short, the fastest - and most dangerous - racing championship ever conceived, has become far and away the most popular form of entertainment in the solar system.

* DeathMountain: UsefulNotes/{{Mars}} was recently announced as the fourth DLC location and the third paid one. The complex is built in the Arabia Terra continent and, thanks to the Red Planet's low gravity, the pilots will also race on pipes instead of in them.
