Hi Matty, I just saw some guy shat himself

I've been having a lot of fun with Outcast. I've been bouncing between Outcast and FF7 Rebirth

Got it for my 14th birtday in 2000. Our sh*tty Packard Bell PC had only 16 MB RAM, so i had to deliver newspapers to earn money to buy more RAM (which my parents had installed through a PC shop, because nobody had any hardware knowledge). Ran like crap (our PC didn'nt have a graphics card) but loved the game.

Reminds me of Elex! If this one ended up on ps + might try it but Dragons Dogma 2 is my guilty pleasure at the moment

Hi Matty. I just shat myself!

I hate that no one is talking about it out of their own desire, rather than it being a sponsor. Lots of these vids.

I started playing the demo but it is on a 20 min countdown timer. I liked walking around and talking to npc's but I quickly ran out of time before I got to see what the real gameplay is all about. I have it on my wishlist but the price is just a bit high for me right now

Digital Foundry did a comprehensive overview and retrospective of this new game and the original. Also, SpawnWave did a sponsored video as well, which I skipped because he’s started plugging ads, sponsored content, memberships and Patreon crap to an obscene degree lately. He’s on track to catch up to MBG. If it keeps up he’ll be standing in the intersection with a collection bucket like your local fire company.

"The RPG no one is talking about unless they are being paid for it" The title implies you are going to share a hidden gem that you love with us.....not do an ad.

I bought it a few days ago. But I am really caught up in Dragons Dogma 2 right now.

Reminds me alot of when I bought tons of random games back on my 360 and PS2 and played them. I enjoyed the random hidden gems like what this appears to be to me. I just got Dragons Dogma 2 last night, so after that, I may look into this one!

I remember when the original came out. Curious that it got a sequel, now...

Hi Matty, I heard some guy saw a guy shat himself.

I probably would have grabbed this for $35-$40. $60 is a bit much right now. Ill wait for a sale and better optimization

Thanks, checking this out now. I haven't heard a peep of this game and I've been craving a sci-fi game.

Funnily enough the ad before the video was for this game

Oh crap i had no idea about this!! Ive started fhe original outcast multiple times over the years but never been able to finish if, but it always intrigued me. I'll definetly pick this up!

Played the demo and it pleasantly surprised me. Will be getting it at some point when it has a decent discount.

To be fair a cpl months back Rogue Trader videos were going around. I had no idea it even existed. I bought it after seeing afew sponsored videos and it was amazing imo. Great game. Actually made me more open minded to sponsored game videos.

I truly loved this game. Some of the parkour trials are waaay too many, but you don't need to do them all. Aside from that , I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to see another sequel.

I like the 360 vibe and I hope we start seeing more game projects in that double AA game category. Hopefully it will let devs passion really flourish

Oh dear, I feel old now... I played the original game, and for that time it was really something different. Things we now take for granted, where experienced in that game for the first time. A lot of games that came after this original evolved in a better way thanks to this game. I replayed the game again after the remake, and it was a huge improvement. Not that is was perfect, because you could still feel it was a AA game without the massive budget AAA normally get. However - I can perfectly live those little imperfections, because it was a fun game. Now this new game looks like it's miles ahead of that older game, without loosing the charm. It is definitely on my "to buy" list, and of course I am going to buy it on my preferred platform - GOG (I love to have DRM-Free off-line installers). I am sure I am in for a good time...

I just downloaded and played the demo on Xbox the other day! It was kinda surprising

Looks good only thing stopping me is the price. I don’t even spend $70 on fresh AAA releases.

I'll definitively try it. When OG was made, it was a bit of a revolution, using voxels for this kind of game to have details you couldn't have before. Not much games had used voxels after either. I would easily put OG Outcast on my top 10 of all times. Now, realistically, it was already clunky at the time so... Music of OG is still today on my top 5, alongside with Dragon's dogma or FF7 for instance. This game did also something I have never seen since : if you were to seek someone, you would ask any NPC and they would give you a direction, a district, or if close enough, straight point it with "He is here Ulukai !", no arrows needed. I loved it. Now it might be a bit less efficient with a today size map. If you are not a graphics peeper and are not afraid of a bit of clunkyness, try the remake, it is OK and I do think the story is cool.

I’ve been balls deep in dragons dogma 2 for the past several weeks… might have to finish that up, and check out outcast.

I really wanna play this game. Didn't by it yet because here in Brazil gameskeep getting more and more expensive so I usually wait for discounts and sales. Looks like it has a cool universe and the design of the creatures really got my attention.

The games faithful to the first game they had the lexicon in the first game aswell but qol having it in dialog at same time

I played the original way back when. I remember it as being "weird" is the best way I can describe it.

Yes. This game rocks. Bought it on a whim, and I’m loving it. The sense of freedom feels fresh, like I haven’t seen in a game in a long time.

Definitely want to check this out but I need to finish dragons dogma, ronin, and actually start cyberpunk at some point… so many games so little time

Never even heard of this until now. Looks pretty good!

I've got over 6,000 hours in my backlog, so competition is fierce. The game looks good enough, but just not enough to take the place of something like Eiyuden Chronicle.

Rebirth took me 150 hrs to 100% Great fun, but thanks for this shorter recommendation. I personally loved the combat in andromeda.

This game looks right up my alley, but I don't by games on release. I'll pick this up on sale down the road for sure.

I was interested in this game. Thanks for covering it

i had the original, never played it all the way thru but it was one of the (if not the very 1st) true open world games.

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful looking game

Thank you for sharing this game with us. I love THQ and how they resurrect old IPs they don’t get enough credit I’m gonna try this game out tonight. Hoping for kingdoms of amular 2

I use to work at the hut😂 I need that hoody

4 years old in 1999 eh? What was I doing then… oh yeah……graduating…..high school….you wound me sir 😢

Me and my dad used to have the original one back on Windows 98 and it was kind of fun we both really enjoyed it it was really big at the time but I be both tried playing the demo on PS5 and it was the frame rate was so low the world exploration just didn't seem to jump out and excite I barely had an hour and I got extremely bored I think it's time has mostly passed but at least some people are enjoying it

I’m torn with how we review open world games now because think of what we want we don’t want bloat, but we will quickly say we don’t want a world that feels empty. That would mean we want every event that is put into this world that’s not empty so it will take a lot of events. We want them all or most of them to be handcrafted. That blows up budgets. That makes what we want and what we know is affordable at odds with each other.

I played the demo for this on series x and ps5. Had some fun with it but it didn't really grab me. Maybe down the line I'll revisit when on sale.

Not while it's $70. I'll wait until it's 50% off.

I played a little bit of this at the PAX before this last one the flying felt cool it was a bit vusually busy for my tastes tho

I played the demo and loved it. I bought the game and I am enjoying the full play though now.😊

I definitely wanna check this one out, looks pretty good tbh

As soon as this comes down in price I might try to buy it for 40

It plays like I hope the upcoming star wars game will, I really enjoyed the demo and the demo is available on Ps5 and Xbox too! I strongly recommend people give it a try.

I saw this game on Steam and wishlisted it. After the debacle with Star Wars Outlaws I'm gonna pick this one up to support the devs who are still making non-predatory single player experiences.

I enjoyed it a lot for what it was. Interesting quest structure, just wish the aliens weren't so ugly and the protagonist so bland lol

now i gotta check this one out

I think the only rpg I’m interested in is Shadow of the Erdtree from Elden Ring

Bruce Campbell should play the hero. Outcast is so underrated.

I've been absolutely loving this game.

Ive been talking about just cant afford it yet. It looks like a solid game but maybe ill wait for a sale

I really want this game but here on Brazil the price is absurd. Waiting a price drop to pick! I loved the first one back then, and the game is in my top 10 lists everytime

I’m gonna go try the demo!

Looks like Tak and the Power of Juju

Outcast 1 is my all-time favorite game ever. It felt like stepping inside the Star Wars Special Editions. Absolute phenomenal game at the time. And now we have a worthy sequel, although not the absolute bestest of best games ever anymore ;) The freedom, general atmosphere, writing and world-building are still top notch though.

Looks good, ill try it

Character creation would be nice

I’ll wait til the game is $20

I have the remake of the first game and it was fun ! I’m gonna grab this one ☝️ also

The game looks sick, I most likely will pick it up!!

I love THQ Nordic. They've saved some of my favorite franchises. I always do my part to support them. Sometimes I just want a jank game with some new stuff and charm. I'm going to have to pick this up now.

Im actually in the middle of playing this game right now, AND it's AWESOME!!! It's unbelievably awesome, as a matter of fact. It's everything that someone who loves a single-player open world would want in a single-player open world game. There is a lot, and I mean A LOT of voiced dialog and lore dumps in the game. The 360ness and 80/90s action hero aspect of the game is a huge plus for me. Other than that, this video covers everything that you would want to know about the game. I love this game... It's exactly what I needed. It's not Mass Effect 4, but it's the next best thing. If you love the Mass Effect games, then you will definitely enjoy this. Have fun!

The original was terrific, Matty. And I urge everyone to give it a shot. I believe it’s available on ps plus. Definitely going to buy this when I have the time to play it.

Just been waiting for the price to go down a bit.

I was talking about it 3 weeks ago

The quality of this remake\sequel is impressive. I remember playing this game as a kid in the 90s and this game blew my mind at the time. I really don't think there was anything like it at the time either. It may have even been one of first truly open world 3D games. It's a little too pricey for me at the current time but I do have it wish listed. Just way too many other games taking the mind share up presently. I wouldn't be surprised if this game doesn't sell well as I really haven't seen any other advertisements on it besides the rare sponsor spots on videos that I watch. Which is a shame but there is a lot of competition in the open world genre right now. Hopefully it does well enough to get a sequel or at least let the dev team keep operating. Solid and fair review Matty. Cheers!

Yeah i fancy this one, i also fancy Matty. ❤

Love it it kind of reminds me of crackdown for some reason

Oh yeah ….i remember this game….both from now and before when funhaus played the first one on demo disk and made fun of it

I don’t think it’s worth $70. If it had been $40 or maybe $50, I’d be apt to try it out.

Looks promising!

It's not a AAA? Then why is it $60 on Steam? sheez!!

will pick it up on a sale, just a bit sad they made the aliens very humanized.

Have you played ELEX and ELEX 2, Matty?

Yes Matt! Outcast is awesome!

I really enjoyed the demo. Deep sale, definitely.

I’m sure ACG will appreciate that he is NO ONE.

Hell yeah.... hellll yeah

Jank...when a video game gets videogamey. I've missed that charm.

Space gaming channels I follow have talked about Outcast - A New Beginning. I've seen Lets Plays. But we all know from the Starfield experience that you don't go to Bethesda and its content creators looking for space or Sci-Fi. Fallout's about as close as you get.

I love this game

It’s actually quite good

The original and it's remake are great

I played the Demo of this and it bangs so hard.

Pretty fun all things considered

I played the one that hit gamepass got all the achievements then just uninstalled the game

Respects to the demo

How is it Avatar inspired when this existed before Avatar? 🧐

Pass on that

I call this game Elex 5 😂 I actually like it!!

The original game had a similar plot and came out way before Avatar, if anything the biggest inspiration for Outcast was Stargate. I've almost finished A New Beginning and it's okay but imho the first game is better. I really have to praise the new game on a technical level though, the world looks stunning. The foliage density, ground clutter, biome variety etc, in a pretty much seamless open world (load screens only happen when using the not stargates) is wild for a modern AA title. It's just a shame that instead of staying true to the original they went the Ubisoft route with collectible/activity/outpost bloat, that coupled with extremely boring main robot enemies really does the IP a disservice.

Is the story good? That's all I really care about. I'm OK with "just ok" gameplay and graphics, if the story is engaging

Are AA games worth $70?
