Outcast: Original (1999) vs Remake (2017) Compared

[@werdle92]

1999 intro scene was much better. Blade Runner Style noir lighting. Far more stylish and sets a different mood.

[@ezassegai4793]

yeah cinematics were so much better

[@YouNosfe]

So true, old things are sometime better.

[@Inception1338]

seriously game design was in its peak in the 90ths.

[@TheAbhorrentTruth]

Definitely, had way more charm and impact

[@kkolyan373]

indeed, why didn't they just left intro as-is, since they haven't enough funding to remake cinematics well.

[@Lieutenant_Scrotes]

This blew my mind as a child back when it was released in 1999. A real pioneer in open-world gaming.

[@suvetar]

Likewise - It still looks pretty impressive now! There's a certain visual charm to voxel landscapes!

[@DirectxPERSON4]

There is something so beautiful about the 1999

[@GeoCrockerPot]

My story of learning about this game was my dad had a coworker who subscribed to this Microsoft Windows PC game magazine in the late 90s, and when this game was out in 1999 when I was 4 years old, he let my dad play the demo version of this game. My dad loved it, and he bought the full game at that point! I've played it SO many times over since! Loved the story, the characters, the music, and the effects of the weapons/equipment! My dad would often mimic the soldiers' callouts or screams in battle and I always laughed at him! No one I ever knew has ever heard of or played this great game and felt as though our family were the only ones in the US who knew about this game. I miss the old Windows 98 and 2000 besides XP! I also now have it on my Xbox, and I look forward to playing the long awaited sequel developed by the same Appeal guys when it's ready!

[@edgey642]

It's clear to see the remake was made with a much lower budget than they'd hoped, after a failed Kickstarter campaign. I absolutely loved this game and have played it through several times... Was hoping for the remake to look more triple A rather than 5yr old Indy title. But hopefully this gains enough popularity to continue the outcast series with a bigger budget. Maybe we'll finally get Outcast 2?

[@Balnazzardi]

Well idk....for Kickstarter campaign their goal was 600 000 dollars and for that they would have only updated the game's visuals, pretty much what they now managed to do for this remake. So I would assume the game's budget was somewhere between 600 000 and 1 million. But yes, to be able to fully remake the game, its dated gameplay and poor quality animations, they would have needed much bigger budget. Its a shame that those updated visuals really bring Outcast to life in entirely new way, the game looks incredibly good at times for low budget release, but the gameplay itself as well as those animations/character models obviously are not at the same level and its darn shame, cause Outcast would have deserved those things to be updated to modern day as well. As for Outcast 2, I wouldnt hold my breath unless some bigger company/publisher would be able to see the potential and fund the development. They would at very least need some-one like THQ Nordic to back them up, even more preferably some-one like Microsoft to bring modern triple A game budget and then we would have a chance to get proper, modern sequel to Outcast. But from the sales of this remake (and Outcast 1.1) alone? Not a chance and like said BigBen is small publisher without the kind of funds that would be required for Outcast 2.

[@pixelcount350]

edgey642 This is crazy how hypocritical the gaming community can be. You ask for a change with the triple A games yet you guys can't even support the people are trying to change the industry.

[@tonytendencies4698]

It was such a great game and deserved a better remake. My friend Doug was one of the original game's designers and without him and the other designers returning you were never going to get something memorable like the first game.

I think the remake is really well done visually, yet somehow they managed to make Slade less expressive in the remake. You can see it in the comparison in their mouth movements at 3:35. The biggest pet peeve of mine, however, is that they totally missed the comedic timing of him realising he's talking to an alien at 3:26. In the remake he reacts before he's even properly taken a look at Zokrym. Such a fun, original game either way no matter which version you're playing.

[@Andreas-hp3se]

Man, I can't help but think the original just has a much more interesting look. It looked phenomenal back then with a really otherworldly appearance, and the remake just looks "normal" to me. I was hoping the remake would use a similar voxelly heightmap method of rendering the world but instead it's just.. Polygons. Okay.

[@Agoz8375]

Urban Chaos and Fighting Force also need a remake :-)

[@retrovertigo7560]

[@rodri55555]

I still have my 2 CD's and booklet from original one. I have finished it lots of times, and still have the GOG version... At this moment I'm playing for the first time the 2017 version. It's quite great to play this game with improved graphics... But basically it is the original game, same music, voices and everything... And same Glitches and bugs, and etc... So, for nostalgics like me, it's awesome to play 2017 version. But for other players, that haven't played old version, this game will be something boring and old styled.

[@espiongerbil]

Hold up, they remade the game?! I bought this back in '99 and was so hyped to play it! On the way home from the shop, I was reading the manual and it was talking about alien languages, exploration, and concepts that were beyond many games I'd played at that point. I can barely remember the specifics now, just that I was SO eager to play. I got home, installed the game, watched the intro... And then it crashed. I tried everything I could back then, in an early internet world, to get it working but it just wasn't happening. I thought of returning the game but decided to keep it on the off chance a fix would turn up and I'd be able to play. It's been sat on my shelf since, besides a couple of attempts to run it on newer PC builds, gathering dust. I just looked up at it again and decided to watch some videos to see what it played like, since I was never going to get the chance... And there's a remake?! God, I hope it lives up to the 20+ years of anticipation...

[@pajdovelicanstveni]

Did you ever manage to play it?

[@espiongerbil]

@@pajdovelicanstveni I did, yeah. It was brilliant and bizarre and a little bittersweet. To finally get to play it after so long was very satisfying. Obviously, compared to modern titles it's not as complex, and a lot of the improvements we've made in game design are noticeably missing. At the same time, a lot of the homogonising games have gone through since was lacking. I love the story, and the twists it took. Comparisons to modern games fall flat when I consider how old the game is, though. Outcast was implementing so many gameplay elements long before they became standard. If I'd been able to play the game back in '99 I think it'd be one of my most talked about and loved games. Outcast should be up there as one of the trail blazers of gaming history. It does so many things we take for granted now. It's sad that, for whatever reason, it never became the success it should have been.

[@ravengaming4143]

The remake looks pretty good but it will never be like the original in it's time with the, for the time, revolutionary voxel tech. The new game is just another sci-fi adventure out there, but in 1999, it was *the* sci-fi adventure that really showed what fast PCs could do.

[@FraggyTheFrag]

Raven Gaming revolutionary voxel tech? You're a funny guy! Voxel was an overaged technique in '99...but they mixed up voxel/pixel techniques, that's why the game was looking damn good back those days, even the max. resolution was under 640*480... ;)

[@KrotowX]

This game was a blast 20 yrs ago when original release came out. Intro was better then, yes. Still very good remake even for limited budget. I hope they will be able to refresh it even more. Most important thing here is that old good games become remaked for decent hardware. Which is cool in my opinion.

[@mipuist]

- the water looked amazing in the original, in the remake it seems to be dead, no character-inducted waves on the surface - kind of disappointing as the graphics are supposed to be better not worse - the voxel terrain made the world more natural and alien looking at the same time, it is hard to achieve similar impression with the polygons it is hard to mask the straight lines that does not occur in the real landscape that often, still not that bad - the original was very colorful and full of "light efects" (given it's time) the remake looks little too cold - the head shapes of the inhabitants - they had some kind of noblesy in their shapes that seems to be missing in the remake, they just look weird - the rounded font used in the original felt more pleasant and better suiting the atmosphere (i see others may be less sensitive to this :) - the intro, I guess the money ran out? + still going to play the remake, it's the opportunity revive the memories :)

[@serdib]

Outcast... Unreal... sweet childhood 👦

[@avinotion]

The weapons were dope. Each one with three modes (basic plus two upgrades). Pistol: normal, ricochet, and stronger bullets (ricochet was my favorite) Grenade launcher: timed, impact, and mines Laser: normal, stronger, strongerer Flamethrower: meh Rocket launcher (or am I mixing this one up with laser) That's what I remember from 20-ish years ago. Enemies were cool too: soldiers of different ranks, feline-like predators, a long-neck monster, long neck smaller monsters, some big fish, a pterodactyl, and a big dino.. Learned some new words in English from it (if you haven't guessed yet, it's not my native tongue): excrement (that big monster's poo mission), marshes, gaamsaav :)

[@GameIntrosFinales]

It's been a while since I compared the games, but as far as I remember, the inventory and controls were better in the remaster. However, the charm of the original was missing. It could be that there are patches or mods for the original that improve the controls and inventory so that you have the old graphics. Both games are currently available on GOG for less than 2 €/$, so you're not taking a big risk with your purchase, and you can still return the games within 30 days.

[@GameIntrosFinales]

Ah, by the way: the cutscenes of the original were much better.

The new remaster uses the unity engine with the original game engine running together in the background. The game is near on identical but I do agree with most people that the new intro was a disappointment.

[@flashn00b]

Is it just me, or do the graphical upgrades include artwork downgrades? Although the voxel-based world does look a lot worse in terms of graphical fidelity, one can definitely see that the game had a certain art direction behind it and the upgrades kind of watered them down. The most notable seems to be the nonhumans having human facial features.

[@LisandroLorea]

They did have human facial features if you look at the original concept art but with flatter noses and a bit more reptilian look. The new ones look kinda generic

En fait, rien que pour son histoire et son I.A, le jeu vaut le coup, même ses musiques, mais par contre omg le reste, la maniabilité du héros aussi lourde qu'un bahut et les bugs à foison, inadmissible de vendre ce jeu en l'état actuellement sur PC à 30 € même si bon, je sais bien qu'il y a les vendeurs tiers m'enfin sur Steam, le jeu est vendu à peine moins cher que d'excellents jeux même vendus aussi cher comme un The Witcher 3 par exemple, c'est surtout pour ça que la pilule a du mal à passer, et puis, n'étant pas un nostalgique du premier opus, forcément je ne tombe pas dans ce piège, mais autrement comme on me l'a offert, j'ai quand même apprécié de jouer à ce jeu. Tout ça pour dire que ça mériterait un vrai remake genre refonte totale des graphismes et du gameplay et là ouais ça serait une tuerie

[@jeanbaudrand9969]

Balnazzardi just a question about gameplay: is it possible like in 1999 version to run facing the camera (Down arrow key) AND target something rear the hero, very useful when an ennemy chasing you. In my opinion the shoulder camera is too close to the hero for being as good as 1999 version.

[@drzeissler]

it would be fucking awesome if the old engine had some extra effects (pixelshader-water/reflections) because of the much more cpu-power of current machines. it would be totally awesome if thy used a raytracing-engine like the new star-wars-demo instead what they did for the second-contact.

[POLYBLUES] The developers didn't have the money to go full triple A.

I really don't know how I can play the original anymore. I've tried the update and I just can't see myself ever going back unless the original has had some major graphic overhaul mod. Still a real shame on that intro. I don't understand any reason why developers continue to do this. I really don't and they clearly know it's no better.

Remake: _exists_ Internet: it is so much worse the grapix bad, what they changed sucks and what they kept shouldve been changed

Cutter Slade managed to get younger but he still sounds like he has throat cancer, like that guy who used to do the movie trailers. I loved the original with all its bugs and weirdness it was still a great game for its day. Just got the new one but haven't played it yet.

I so love the original. If there' was an alternative ending, I would be tempted. I'm old, I can live with the old graphics. I would have prefered more content over updated visuals. It's super cool that they kept the old sounds. It's like a time machine.

Widely considered the greatest PC game of all time.
