    Outcast Second Contact Interview: Remaking The Journey of Exploration

    What makes Outcast so appealing and why should you check out the remake? Developer Appeal tells all.

    When Outcast first released in 1999, it was unlike most games at the time. It featured a huge world and oodles of freedom, allowing you go anywhere. If you wanted to participate in the main story, that was fine as well but in terms of free 3D exploration, it was one of a kind. Seeing Outcast: Second Contact, a remake of the original, made us think whether it still had a place in today's industry of open world titles and 3D sandboxes.

    To find out what's new while the game stays true to its predecessor, GamingBolt spoke to developer Appeal about everything from the series' everlasting appeal to the different features that define Outcast: Second Contact.

    How do you stay true to the spirit of Outcast while still innovating in Second Contact? Is there a fine line to walk?

    As developers, working on our own game's remake had been very difficult on our nerves at times! Should we try to be as truthful to the original game as possible, or should we modernize everything? Between nostalgia and progress, it's definitely a fine line to walk.

    Our goal was to try to re-create the same awe-inspiring experience for modern players, even for those with high AAA games standards in mind. Most of the narrative material was there already, so we focused on modernizing and enhancing the look and feel of the game. That means better graphics and more dynamic gameplay. Our goal is for both fans of the game and newcomers to enjoy playing it.
