It's both terrifying and reassuring that the AI can keep toe to toe with you at this difficulty - I feel like it can be far too easy to leave them in the dust in lower difficulties of the first game. Still not going to do nightmare races once I get redout 2 though 🤣
@@Joltout that's something I'm really curious about actually. How deep does the ship building go? I've not seen any footage of it - just what was on the trailers
@@an_ordinary_goose It's more limited than it seems, because you're gated by the events you have access to. If you focus on the parts you'll have some choices where you trade 7% here for 8% there, but you'll only get drastic changes if you go back to previous leagues and mix parts from different classes. On the other hand, the ships are dramatically different from one another. Stability, Steer and Thrust really change how you're looking to take turns. Durability changes your boost routing in significant ways. And yet Top Speed still feels like the most important stat. It's really quite impressive.
@@228zip it does sound interesting. I'm hoping to get it within the coming weeks. Is the season pass worth it because I missed a lot of expansion tracks and liveries in the first
@@an_ordinary_goose in redout 1 the dlc was even more as the main game. the concept is simple: if you wanna try the game, buy it for 20 bucks. if you want more, take to another dlc's up to 40 and then up to 60 bucks wich is the standart price for a big newcomer. grab the season pass because there will be many more tracks and this is everything you need.
Its only today that I realized that there is massivly less friction in the air.. you can get crazy speeds there. Casual 2400 and its not slowing down the accel much.
I think it's the lower gravity and turboing mid air giving me that speed. The air friction on this track iirc, is 2nd highest only to water sections and trench.
This and Cloud Ocean are my two favourite biomes in Redout II. Also the video has two heavy lags (3:35 and 5:38) and lots of small stutters throughout. Is your rig feeling fine?
Yea, the game isn't optimised all that well, so on certain zones for me (Mars is a pretty common offender) my PC can make it look kinda choppy. It should be playing fine since it can handle more demanding games well enough, but I suppose they need to iron out some issues to optimise it better.
@@Joltout What are your specs and settings? I think the optimization issues might come from quick loading and unloading of resources. It can't really be compared to other "better looking" titles for that reason. That doesn't excuse issues, it just means that it's hard to compare it to other games.
I need to learn how to get a racing line like that. I feel like you're skipping so many opportunities to boost, but I certainly couldn't beat Nightmare AI that convingly, let alone in the ESA-AGR.
I haven't bothered learning pin point accurate boost patterns yet. But in general, I just do it on straights when I have the HP/heat to deal with it. Plus, in some spots, I'm still not confident with them thanks to some slight turns that're deceptively difficult to remember.
@@Joltout There's a lot of short straights where you can afford to spend half a hyperboost and gnaw into your health. I'm always trying to either be spending or regenerating my resources - you need to plan both - and sit on them as little as possible. For instance on the mars tracks you can always boost hard through the finish line, because it's followed by a series of tight corners where you can do nothing but regen.
That's not much of a problem, but I was tossing up between Conq and Lunare for the theme of the zone, rather than the challenge lol. Was going to pick Lunare since it seemed like a better fit, but we'll see lol
@@Joltout Yeah, Conq ain't that bad. In my studies, I have found that Conq really struggles in fast, shallow/medium corners. Where other ships would tackle them without a problem. Conq demands good strafing at high speeds.
God, the way you get through the chicane just past the start line at 1:50 is just *chefs kiss*
So satisfying

I deliberately build my ships slow to give the AI a chance lol. So don't feel too worried about the difficulty in RO2 lol

Joltout in 12th.
NPC racers: "I sense the natural balance has been disrupted. I am in danger."
I love your wild and exciting driving style!
I find it fascinating in a way that a well-calculated mechanical drive does not.
You sir drive like a boss, you just earned a sub.
This is how it feels to drive to work in Houston. People on the highway are savage's
Those jumps are soo good nice race.
HERE WE GO, PEOPLE!
Ok, I'm definitely gonna have to practice what you did at 5:23
The jump at 4:23 is genuinely terrifying. Landing that *can't* have been easy.
It's pretty easy, honestly. Especially with practice behind it.
@@Joltout Fair enough! I guess it's moreso then just the sheer size of the jump that's intimidating.

I have no idea what game this is, it just randomly poped on my screen
Soo beautiful...
This game can be so frustrating at times
But when you are going well then it feels soo good because you know its not a given
Godamn, this is terrifying and awesome. How do you do it?
Fun and practice 👌
I wish you could change the boost pad sound effect to be like the one from the first game.

what do you guys think about hyperboosting in wide corners?
Depends on the corner
And how wide/long it is
When the time come to make the Neo Tokyo video, I challenge you to use Conqueror when doing so.

@@thomaskraus7077 conq real good with the right build, it holds its own in tt runs. I got a handful of Xbox records
I don't want to backseat youtube you here, but maybe consider streaming mode? This song may get your vid struck by copyright.
Yea, I know. But I don't mind. The song adds to the race imo, and I did wana race to it lol
@@Joltout That's fair, it's a banger track
Song ?
