CG writes: In this video we take a look at the opening hour 20 minutes of “Outcast – A New Beginning” from the retail build on PC (a sequel to the 1999 classic game). The game does look rather nice and is running at max settings in 4K using an RTX 4090 (with DLSS Quality, so that’s effectively 2K upscaled). The game releases to the masses on March 15th and offers some open-world adventuring in this story-driven action game from developer, Appeal Studios.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "It does have a lot of issues, but Outcast: A New Beginning also features its fair share of saving graces. It is flawed, but a somewhat good time in smaller bursts. It’s a shame its open world design felt generic, never succeeding at captivating me, because the core combat mechanics and admittedly great visual design did a lot of heavy lifting. It’s an unapologetic old-school game in its premise and content; it doesn’t try to be anything else, nor does it try to punch above its weight. Whether you think this is commendable or not is up to your opinion."
I'm keeping this on my radar. It felt like a AA game from yesteryear. Which is fine but not at $70. I'll pick it up on a decent sale plus thst comes with an added benefit of bug fixes so win win.
What's old is finally new again. This sequel 25 years in the making wears the 90s on its sleeve and adds gorgeous backdrops, surprising us with an experience as silly and fun as it wants to be.
