I'm not a PC gamer you see and I heard it was coming to consoles, nice to see Switch getting the love too.
Can't wait to play it

Playing this for the first time after reinstalling the Enhanced Edition, and going from a GTX760 to a GTX1060 6GB.
Night. And. Day.. Jesus.
I am so happy with this game. It was really choppy for me before so I couldn't really enjoy it properly. Smooth as butter now at max settings.
I thought I'd try a different controller / control method as an experiment as well. Using a fighting game pad of all things (hori commander 4), with the d-pad set to function as the left stick on the pad, and the in-game control settings set to "Arcade" so the strafing is done with L1/R1, and the pitching is done with up/down on the d-pad. The way I end up holding it is ignoring the 6-button layout on the pad and just using the first 4, and holding strafes with my two index, and brake/accel with the middle fingers. So no fingers actually need to move from their spot.
Odd I know, but I'm gonna stick with it for a while. I know some will say the lack of analogue steering / strafing / pitching is a no no, but I've not missed it so far tbh. It's odd, but it seems to work. Ended up using the d-pad in Mario Kart 8 as well tbh. Never got on well with analog in arcade / kart racers. Don't know why.

That sounds like it would be fun to try. I'm a big d-pad fan for wipeout games, will give this a shot, though I'm already used to the controls with the game.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
The game does need a lot to get those visuals, will be interesting to see how it is on Switch. Hopefully they can get it right...but I fear it will be 30fps.

Yeah I'm the same with WipeOut as well. And it'll definitely be interesting to see how it runs on Switch. I'll consider double dipping when I eventually get one because having it on a portable would be nice. Game looks lovely, but I think I'd take frame rate as priority when they try to optimise it for switch.

Excuse my language chaps but, this game is FUCKING ACE.
I'm waiting for reviews. But if the Switch port plays well and looks good enough, I'll go Switch to have it portable as well as on TV.
Fast RMX has proven that a 60fps racer on Switch can look and perform great, so hopefully Redout does too.

Whats the best way to get around corners?
Break and steer or only use both sticks to steer? I hit the walls way to often and I'm not sure when exactly to use the right stick

Don't use the brake. Leading up to the corner steer the right-stick away from the turn (your ship will "drift"). Then when you actually take the corner move the right-stick into the turn. It's tricky. Someone earlier in the thread posted this video that shows the concept - you can see how the sticks are used in the upper-right corner.

Old track visuals have been reworked too. It just looks amazing and is so fun to play.
I was hoping they'd take it to the next level and they've landed it tbh.

Just snagged it yesterday. Steam is full price and after the patch I begun to be interested again in this one.
Went on internet market and found this - grab it y'all!
Grabbed this game on Humble Store yesterday, totally worth it !
Does anybody know if it's possible to use a custom soundtrack for this game ? The songs are bad ... but they are bland as hell ..
holy shit, I never realized why I was hitting the wall so much ... thank you so much !

It doesn't support it right now which is why I have just started playing with Music volume set to 0 and wipeout music playing on spotify in the background.

Impressed by the commitment to ongoing, substantial updates. Hope it continues.
The music that plays during first of the new Neptune DLC tracks is definitely more interesting than any of the other music that I can recall (from playing the game for a bit at launch), with some repeating ‘Spiderman Suite'/Elfman-style flourishes starting at 0:12, giving way to gradually intensifying Hans Zimmer-esque layered atmospherics, with some nice vocal and guitar inflections here and there as the piece builds.

Was gonna ask the same thing.
Fast RMX doesn't feel like a futuristic ship racer as much as WipeOut ever did. It feels like they just replaced the model of a really fast car with a ship, and this is because the ships feel so stuck at a certain distance from the ground. Comparatively, WipeOut's Studio Liverpool put a lot of effort into the bobs of the ship as it glided along, the way it landed after a long jump, all these small details to feel like you're in a ship.
Also, Fast RMX suffers from a course selection that goes for quantity over quality and an unnecessarily tight camera angle.
I'm curious for myself (and I bet others reading may be as well), are the issues related to things like VR-level performance hitching hurting the immersion, or more perspective/movement related?

Is the one on humble bundle the same as what's on steam? I.e., the "enhanced edition"
It's the same thing most likely, there's only one version on steam, and I'm pretty sure it's a steam key that you get with the humbebundle sale.
It probably won't include the recent dlc, you can decide to get it later if you want - there's a lot of game there anyway.

Vertigo Bonebreaker was damn hard.
In general, survival events seem like the hardest ones, I struggled on the previous one too. They require mastery of the track and perfecting your raceline even more than time trial events. Health and "surviving" are actually irrelevant - using the shield, healing, or hull powerups proved useless because if I was hitting enough walls and mines to need them, I wasn't going to come close to Gold because of time.
This game is great though. Feels like a great balance between the strengths of both Wipeout and F-Zero to me and is scratching that itch for both (despite Omega Collection hitting in a week, unlikely to jump into that too soon).
It has certainly clicked with me a lot more than FAST Racing Neo did on Wii U. I didn't get into that enough to want to sink a lot of time into it but I can't stop coming back to Redout.
Soundtrack is great too. Love this song.
Oh, and if anyone wants to trade color schemes I have a duplicate Tangerine Sunset to trade for anything except Frozen Water.
These drops are terrible. I've gotten three of the same color scheme and a livery for the worst team in the game.
Got gold on everything in the first two classes, and class three is going to end that with the very first event. I sucked at cylinders in F-Zero and I'm not doing much better here. I can get out of them pretty cleanly but I just can't get through them without spinning all over and losing a ton of time. Been trying for over two hours and only hit bronze time three times, two of them only barely.
Worst part is, I know the game is going to throw a survival event at me on this track. I doubt I'll ever manage bronze on that.

Today I wrote this comment in steam forum

I just found a way to fix the problem. In the path C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\redout\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Edit the Scalability.ini file and put this
[ViewDistanceQuality@3]
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.1
Obviously, you have to use Epic value in View distance option in the game. In my case I don't have a performance hit, but maybe is no the case for everyone. What is clear is that LOD dissolve is gone and the game is way prettier now.

NEW FEATURES
Added a new Europa song, Conamara! Legit named after a region of the Europa moon, which is named after a region in Ireland. Look it up.
Soundtrack and Artbook updated to reflect the additions.
Multiplayer: the host can change laps number and game mode without having to quit and re-host a new lobby. (yay!)
Added controller vibration on ship explosion, we thought it would be a nice touch.
TITLE STABILITY
Fixed all residual frame dependencies: life regen and speed bonus still were.
Fixed a memory leak that would potentially slow down your system after a few consecutive races.
Fixed a bug that could be exploited in Speed mode: it was possible to accumulate bonus time before crossing the starting line for the first time, carrying such bonus through to lap 1.
BUGFIXING
Fixed bug for which the accelerator button would become unresponsive if kept pressed during game pause or tutorial message screen.
Fixed a bug for which options would not be persistent in split screen after the first race was over.
Checkpoints value were cut when above 100. We honestly never thought somebody could do that, damn you uberpros.
Lobby chat fixed for AZERTY keyboards: pressing A would quit the chat. Sorry again, dear French friends, we never meant to silence you. Especially after the elections.
Fixed a bug for which the position indicator would go nuts if you died during a jump (long due, we know).
Fixed a bug that would respawn you in the phantom zone if you died very close to a portal gate.
Fixed a problem that would display the wrong upgrades in multiplayer lobby if changing ship multiple times.
TRACKS AND VISUALS
Fixed some lightning issues related to shadow cascade, dynamic shadows and static lightmaps. Yadda yadda technical jargon. English for: you just got better shadows in most places.
Neptune: some moving arms of the space station would compenetrate with the track, potentially causing serious incidents. The SRRL would like to apologize and inform the pilots that a new Neptune operative director has been appointed, as the old one was always drunk.
Neptune: fixed some killing volumes around asteroids, that were actually larger than the asteroid itself. Again, the SRRL would like to apologize. All the over-aggressive asteroids have been replaced with more quiet and less aggressive ones. They got scolded.
Fixed jumps in Europa Shallow Water, Volcano Fingertips and Abruzzo Unmanned where some AI ships would constantly die. Arena Race career events on those tracks have also been changed to other event types, because nobody likes free gold medals, right?
No bunnies added to the game at this time.

I can wait until the DLC is on sale. I'm still struggling through the campaign.
Difficulty feels all over the place. I can beat some of them in one or two tries and others are absolute grinds that take multiple days. And that's not even figuring in platinum, I'm not even going to attempt to reach those times.

So besides prevention of running into walls, is there any reason to not use the turbo/boost button over and over? I haven't noticed any penalty/limitation for it, so I'm guessing this game just wants me to -- paraphrasing the movie Better Off Dead -- "go that way, really fast."

I think devs have said that futuristic racers (in cockpit at least) make people puke.
