Outcast is a showing of how much cheaper Blinn's original grayscale technique was to the current Normal Mapping. CPUs of the day can run it almost free of charge. The FPS has no dramatic dip when used on all these characters.
Sytem requirements weren't that high either. Its a wonder why they didn't use it more on non-microsoft consoles of the 6th generation. Tis a shame in the art department. : (
this means the game could have been co-op!!!.....give me the beta and put me to the test to crack it cus 2 player's in a single player game rocks like no other multiplayer out there!!!
I love to see early betas and absolutely love this game! Cutter´s helmet looks funny xD The strange shape could be assumed to fit for a Talan, but they don´t have such high-tech-stuff. But I realy like the Cloth, they look more Talan-Made (and especialy more Shamazar-fit) then the Ulukai-Shirt he wears in the final Game.
I'm not entirely sure, but it appears to me that Cutter has attempted to disguise himself as a Talan. I thought maybe the helmet/headdress was meant to imitate the craniofacial structure of a Talan's skull. Couldn't tell you why, though.
Another beta game mystery, I suppose, haha.
This beta looks beautiful, by the way. And I just have to say that Outcast is one of the most fantastic games ever made. Open Outcast looks interesting...
Wow, Outcast still impresses people even years after the release. Amazing. In 1999 I liked it because of the special looking graphics too. And the music - of coruse. I listen to it even nowadays. Remembering the emotions aroused by this brilliant game. *sniff* :'-|
CR35b please help me i cant install the world`s greatest game for vista says i have an error on installation (ikernel cannot be found) something like that if u could help me it would be great
Outcast doesn't make a lot of money, not enough regarding the money they spend to this episode, at the same time infogrames was in a very low-cash situation (near bankrupt), so mr Bonnel the president of the group stop a lot of good project, include this one.
The second episode was really start, a good friend of mine (Hi Victor) was invited with a lot of fan (most of the time webmaster of fan site) by infograme at Paris.
they were filmed, and they ask us what they loved in the first episode, what they want to see in the next one, they see a lot of artwork for this second episode, see some storyline.
lol this was a very early built then haha,but funny ,was and still is the best game ever imo ,no zelda or mario or kingdon hearst or Halo or metal gear can touch this. Gaming at it's finest

This was the best game ever!
I played through it first time 3-4 months ago (october 2007).
Bad resolution apart, there is no game like this! Well maybe one, Anachronox comes close!
But I loved the voxel landscape in this, to name one thing.

You need to run the game as an administrator
just find the EXE file and right click it for the option.
Failing that run it under another windows version compatibility mode.

Outcast forever! It will always remind us that todays games are coded so bad. A game in 1999 has a bigger stutter free world than many 2007 games ;)
