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.
You are "Cutter Slade" (yes, that's your real name) and you travel to an alien planet to save Earth. You wake up to discover aliens who conveniently speak English, have tons of ammo for your gun laying around and believe you are Jesus.
Outcast was updated to allow for modern resolutions in 2014 and it worked without a hitch. Unfortunately, it has some problems. One are the really bizarre controls. You use WASD to navigate menus and confirm with Left Mouse. Why not just let me use the mouse to navigate?? Saving is done with an item and is quite tedious. You run by default but you're still quite slow. The game definitely looks old of course.
The biggest problem is knowing that there's a remake. I mostly just tried the original to see if i was interested in the remake and i am, but i wouldn't want anyone to think this is still worth playing.
GOG, as good as you are, any chance of being able to download a game and just play it? No third party downloads, ec, just download and play?
Not good enough.
I'm sure that back in 1999 this game was hot shit but sadly controls and tutorials have moved on. This game has not. The controls in the manual are wrong. So you end up mashing buttons to figure out how to do stuff. This game should have stayed in the 90's.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
