Outcast PC game - Attack in Motazaar

Just fooling around in Motazaar, attacking some barracks with soldiers.


A bit of info on this fantastic game:

Outcast is an action-adventure computer game by Belgian developer Appeal, released in 1999.

Instead of an hardware-accelerated graphics engine, Outcast used a purely software-based combination of voxel and polygons. Makes for much more interesting terrain, at least at the time. I think (pretty sure, well, damned sure actually) they also used voxels for many buildings, walls, trees and stuff. An ingenious use of voxels!

The music has to be mentioned too:
Outcast features a high-quality orchestral score performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra and choir. Fitting beautifully with the gameplay, like in a great movie!

The story and execution is simply brilliant! Too bad Outcast 2 was cancelled.. this game was unfortunately never a hit, and the company went backrupt while developing the sequel.

[stevesan]

This game was so cool. Open-world and open-ended. Even today it's extremely unique.

It doesn't hold up to todays visuals but I still have this game in my top 5 favourites.

how to get all those guns

@cerealpipe you can bet your balls that this is the best soundtrack: that's the MOSCOW SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA! Actually the game came on 2 cd's, and the second one (that was "mixed content", so "data+audio tracks") contained mainly the game soundtrack. I remember playing it on my hi fi set!
