Got it for my 14th birtday in 2000. Our sh*tty Packard Bell PC had only 16 MB RAM, so i had to deliver newspapers to earn money to buy more RAM (which my parents had installed through a PC shop, because nobody had any hardware knowledge). Ran like crap (our PC didn'nt have a graphics card) but loved the game.

He said outright that the content is sponsored. Honest as always. But between the lines, I think it seems to me that he didn’t like the game? Some things he: jank, generic protagonist, bad voice acting, very little to do in the open world, short story with a lot of exposition, not much variation in the environments and game play, and many others. Given the many good games we can choose between in a similar price range, not a great recommendation it seems to me.

Digital Foundry did a comprehensive overview and retrospective of this new game and the original. Also, SpawnWave did a sponsored video as well, which I skipped because he’s started plugging ads, sponsored content, memberships and Patreon crap to an obscene degree lately. He’s on track to catch up to MBG. If it keeps up he’ll be standing in the intersection with a collection bucket like your local fire company.

Oh dear, I feel old now... I played the original game, and for that time it was really something different. Things we now take for granted, where experienced in that game for the first time. A lot of games that came after this original evolved in a better way thanks to this game. I replayed the game again after the remake, and it was a huge improvement. Not that is was perfect, because you could still feel it was a AA game without the massive budget AAA normally get. However - I can perfectly live those little imperfections, because it was a fun game. Now this new game looks like it's miles ahead of that older game, without loosing the charm. It is definitely on my "to buy" list, and of course I am going to buy it on my preferred platform - GOG (I love to have DRM-Free off-line installers). I am sure I am in for a good time...

I’m torn with how we review open world games now because think of what we want we don’t want bloat, but we will quickly say we don’t want a world that feels empty. That would mean we want every event that is put into this world that’s not empty so it will take a lot of events. We want them all or most of them to be handcrafted. That blows up budgets. That makes what we want and what we know is affordable at odds with each other.

Im actually in the middle of playing this game right now, AND it's AWESOME!!! It's unbelievably awesome, as a matter of fact. It's everything that someone who loves a single-player open world would want in a single-player open world game. There is a lot, and I mean A LOT of voiced dialog and lore dumps in the game. The 360ness and 80/90s action hero aspect of the game is a huge plus for me. Other than that, this video covers everything that you would want to know about the game. I love this game... It's exactly what I needed. It's not Mass Effect 4, but it's the next best thing. If you love the Mass Effect games, then you will definitely enjoy this. Have fun!

The quality of this remake\sequel is impressive. I remember playing this game as a kid in the 90s and this game blew my mind at the time. I really don't think there was anything like it at the time either. It may have even been one of first truly open world 3D games. It's a little too pricey for me at the current time but I do have it wish listed. Just way too many other games taking the mind share up presently. I wouldn't be surprised if this game doesn't sell well as I really haven't seen any other advertisements on it besides the rare sponsor spots on videos that I watch. Which is a shame but there is a lot of competition in the open world genre right now. Hopefully it does well enough to get a sequel or at least let the dev team keep operating. Solid and fair review Matty. Cheers!
@Spr1ggan876 ай бұрын
The original game had a similar plot and came out way before Avatar, if anything the biggest inspiration for Outcast was Stargate. I've almost finished A New Beginning and it's okay but imho the first game is better. I really have to praise the new game on a technical level though, the world looks stunning. The foliage density, ground clutter, biome variety etc, in a pretty much seamless open world (load screens only happen when using the not stargates) is wild for a modern AA title. It's just a shame that instead of staying true to the original they went the Ubisoft route with collectible/activity/outpost bloat, that coupled with extremely boring main robot enemies really does the IP a disservice.

So two questions. 1: Do enemies respawn now? The original game had a set population of enemies and once you killed an enemy soldier or a group of enemy soldiers they were gone for good. 2: Are the questlines that weaken your enemies still preset? In the original as you gained support of the population of the games regions the remaining non-boss enemy soldiers would start suffering permanent debuffs like inflicting less damage or reduced health, based on what type of resources the regions supporting you had provided to the enemy army.
