Technically it's the brake, but it does put you into insta-drift mode, so it feels very Outrun 2-esque to me. If this were a full price, triple A title, I think the pickings would seem a bit slim, but for the budget friendly price it's going for I don't think you can go wrong with it. Here's some gameplay of the PS4 game I uploaded yesterday. The PS4 internal capture device really doesn't do the lovely 60fps fps gameplay justice. Also this is just the Normal mode. Expert ups the overall game speed considerably

Does the ps4 version do a split screen 2p mode?

Apparently it supports 4 players locally. I haven't got enough Dualshock 4 pads to actually put that to the test though.

Having played a few hours now, I can say the game was worth it's money.
Overall handling is nice - Sound is not getting on my nerves and the music fits in well.

However... It seems like there is literaly nobody playing the game online on Steam. I've been waiting in an empty Quick Match Lobby for like two hours without a single player joining in.
Also the game is... well... take a "fast" car, like the F-90 or the Mirage, and still every AI player will stick on your tail, keep up without problems and boost-slingshot past you all the time.
Once you fall behind a few feet, it becomes kinda impossible to catch up.

I completed every GP on "hard" so far, but hardly have any reason to even try expert difficulty.
I do all that stuff even without a Joystick ;)
