Outcast 1.1 has been recompiled from the original source code and improved to run smoothly on today's computers.The main improvements compared to the original version are: multithreaded voxel renderer for higher performances, software bilinear filtering on polygonal meshes, part of the HUD redesigned to match higher resolutions, new high-resolution sky paintings, new launcher, native support of xbox gamepad, user-friendly controller configuration, a lot of bugs fixed and improved stability.
Please note: Outcast Classic remains available for download as a bonus goodie.
As part of a covert experiment, the US military deployed a probe designed to prove the existence of a parallel universe hidden from our own. Although the probe successfully entered the alternate universe and reached a planet called Adelpha, its first crucial data transmission is mysteriously cut short.
The probe's unexpected demise triggers a disastrous chain of events resulting in the creation of a black hole, one that threatens to destroy the Earth. Unless the missing probe can somehow be found and repaired, planet Earth itself is doomed.
Vast and diverse continents to explore, inhabited by thousands of living creatures
An excellent mix of action and adventure, well-designed combat and complete freedom of movement
One of the best games of 1999 with a memorable and believable storyline set in the not-so-distant future

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
A great. A legend. An amazing game that paved the way for many that came after. And the music.....oh the music! This comes with the soundtrack and its great. I got this for $2.99. An phenomenal bargain.
The smooth gameplay makes it easy to enjoy from beginning to end, and its flaws much less bothersome than they could have been. I recommend it to anyone who would like to play a third-person shooter action-rpg with an inventory but not leveling.
The Good
+Free roam with villages and side-quests.
+Good enemy AI.
+Ridable mount. Mounted combat.
+Gameplay is very smooth once you get used to the unusual menus.
+Decent dialog and good voice acting.
+Sci-fi theme that doesn't take itself more seriously than it should.
The Bad
-The vast majority of enemy soldiers are placed unintelligently with the most basic weapons, largely negating the benefit of the good AI past the beginning.
-Explosion radius is unintuitive, extending farther than is obvious.
-Weapons and many items have unintuitive names.
-Weapons are unbalanced.
-Mid-game is very easy.
-Ending sequence is a pain due to cheapness, won't let you backtrack, and hits somewhat unexpectedly.
I had bought this game due to it having one of the best user ratings on Good Old Games. I suppose it must have been a great game for it's time, but I personally did not enjoy playing it very much.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
