The fast and the colorful.

Redout: Solar Challenge Edition is now available DRM-free, 50% off until December 5th, 2PM UTC.

Ready, set, GOG!
That's right, this love letter to the rad arcade racers of old is finally on GOG.com as the timed-exclusive Solar Challenge Edition, which includes all DLCs, bells, whistles, and colors known to man. Diverse environments, dozens of tracks, plus the option to face your friends in local split-screen multiplayer!

Meezl: So this game seems to lack key rebinding and is basically one-layout-only, basically a console non-port. What a load of BS. A shame the great totalbiscuit and others of his status actually praised this. "Works great with xbox controller" - yeah, the only thing it works great with, typical lazy dev response these days. Cut online multiplayer and no key rebindings. Come back when you can implement features from 1993, guys.
Well there is your problem. If you consider totalbiscuit a great one and rely on this, you are bound to be disappointed.
May he rest in peace.

- Language can only be changed in Galaxy, not in-game, no language_setup.exe available
- German language is not available, contrary to the information on the game card
- Not sure which controllers are supported. My RumblePad 2 obviously isn't. Can only play with keyboard, meh

Buttspikes: I'd say yes: I prefer games not being released if they are going to get chopped off and handed incomplete.
It is one thing to sell a game DRM-free without some single player content and another to expect that multiplayer support built on APIs provided by a DRM-service would be replaced by a a native LAN / direct connect mode this late in the development.

As long as future-proof multiplayer modes were not chopped off I don't really mind if a DRM-free version is sold without multiplayer support as eventually that would stop working anyway once the third party services it relies on are gone and therefore it is better to not get attached to it in the first place.

Any ideas about how this game support the different existing controllers ?? And if there is possibilities to fix the support with any software like x360ce ??

I may be alone to think like that but I'm tired about all these games nowadays which cannot support simple gamepad... (noname, thrustmaster or any others) I refuse to buy official gamepad and to participate in the locking that consist of support for only certain gamepad...

Guess I have to skip this game, that seems to be a nice one...

Loger13: What about the soundtrack? In the description there is no information about this. *It should be noted that the soundtrack in the game is good and it would be a pity if the "full version" "which includes all DLCs, bells, whistles, and colors known to man" does not contain it.
Seeing that there is no official answer to this (apart from a "no" between the lines by stating:

I would like to add that I would also be willing to pay extra for the soundtrack. I just don't want to end up without the option at all (like with "Rise of the Triad 2013" for example)!

Yep. Dev totally ignore my post with questions.

I can confirm x360ce works perfectly fine with Redout.

Thanks for the support. We are sorting out GOG support to non-gameplay DLCs, but I don't think it will take a long time to get an official answer about those (soundtrack and artbook, that is).

Bought it earlier today. Looks amazing!

I always play games offline, so online multiplayer is indifferent to me.

Actually, thanks to the SmartSteam emulator, Steam's multiplayer API continues to function in the complete absence of Steam and Valve. When Valve inevitably succumbs to entropy as all things do, Steamworks multiplayer will still exist, and the GOG version of this game will still be shortchanged.

That's just stupid on so many levels.

The multiplayer API may survive the closure of Steam, but as I don't see myself buying anything on that platform as long as they don't officially label which of their games are DRM-free, that emulator is not an option form me until that happens or the service is gone and its games are considered to be abandonware.

Either way, unless a developer had enough foresight to make the effort to properly support LAN / direct connect from the start instead of relying on Steamworks features, fixing that mistake later will most certainly be so much more expensive task that we almost never see it happen and instead the game either gets released here without multiplayer or not at all.

No answer yet as to whether this game includes VR like the Steam version?

Also, does this game have any LAN at all? Not sure if the Steam version has LAN either.

Bought! Thanks peoples.

Sorry again ;)

LAN multiplayer is not possible at this time as the current implementation still needs the Steam apis to function. I know it's dumb, but that's the situation :(

As per the soundtrack, as I said above, we are still discussing it with GOG, hope to provide news pretty soon!
