StormHammer Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 This is for anyone who might remember another game with Outcast in the title...namely, er...Outcast. It had one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game - and the graphics were different for their time. The sequel is now well in the works, and judging by these screenshots (which are not representative of the final quality of the game, they say), it certainly looks like it's going to be good. Anyone else looking forward to Outcast II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbo Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 yeah, i remember outcast. really a good game, actually. unfortunately, looks like this one's on the PS2, which actually disproves a comment i saw on another forum, i'm pretty sure. oh well.

Darth Simpson Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 I think Outcast II is heading for both PS2 and PC. It looks great, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted October 26, 2001 Author Share Posted October 26, 2001 Yes, it is being developed for both PS2 and PC, according to the blurb at the official site. Actually, the screenshots showed so far are from the PS2 version - so the PC version should look a lot sharper. Incidentally, they're no longer using Voxels...but a new 3D engine.

CaptainRAVE Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Yup. Im re-playing it again at the moment. Its an awsome game. I remember posting on these forums a couple of weeks ago when the game was announced. Unfortunatly noone here will run it. Its goind to be soooo detailed their going to even render every blade of grass. Hope its as good as the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRAVE Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 My friend also had that problem, he asked to borrow the CD's from me, but I kinda forgot, and am playing it again now anyway. In my opinion it still rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 i gonna go and buy it today! then patch it up and hope it works. i really like Cutter's headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted October 27, 2001 Author Share Posted October 27, 2001 I believe the patch for Outcast was necessary due to later versions of DirectX. I'm not sure, but if you have DirectX 5 or 6 you might be okay with the install. Of course, not many people still use the older versions of DirectX, so you'll probably have to patch. I know it really annoyed me when I first got the game, installed it...and discovered it had erased itself from the hard drive. I was not impressed...but I persevered...and I'm glad I did. Heh, talking about it makes me want to play it again... I hope they make sure Outcast II is bug-free prior to release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
