Outcast 1.1

This game is awesome, one of the best games I've played. The story, the vast universe, the gameplay.. AAA game! And now u can back the HD Remastered version of it on Kickstarter! Get the good old game we all love wrapped in new graphics and better AI and controlls, brought to u by the same guys who did the original game!! :D needless to say, I've already backed!

To this day I cannot understand why this got such poor reviews and even public reception back in the day. I only played the demo and was blown away, not just by the ground breaking 3D graphics for the time, but just how open and free it felt, while still keeping the quests and NPCs meaningful enough for you to care about them - and playing the full version now, I can see my initial wonder was not only justified but even exceeded. I can still remember reading some journalist's passing mention of this game in a magazine, saying it was "dire" and making no other mention of it. Perhaps this game was just too far ahead of it's time, too ambitious, that people couldn't accept what they were seeing? That has been my only explanation over the years for odd games like this. Nowadays it holds up, because I've been playing this on my laptop to fall asleep, and it works well for that - it has an open ended, whimsical quality about it. Some games have clear distinctions between the "quest giving" areas, and the "battle" areas. Not this one. Near the beginning, you're talking to an oppressed people on tropical farm land on an island while guards who are looking for you, patrol frequently. An NPC conversation could be interrupted by some approaching guards and a battle starts. That NPC could die, and you could miss out on a worthwhile side quest. It pays to be paying attention ALL the time. A quaint little "safe" area where you can stock up, borders strangely, and uncomfortably close, to a set of very dangerous enemies lurking about nearby. Don't push your luck or they'll be lead into this "safe" area and it won't be safe anymore. Have fun with this!

Awesome game, loved it, even more loved it when they updated it to 1.1 and fix the problems I used to have.
