Outcast - A New Beginning - Combat Gameplay 2023 

What you see in this video is a highly upgraded gear. So you will only feel like this superpowered Ulukaï at the endgame. At the start your jetpack is weak, you cannot fly everywhere, only bost you upwards. I think it makes for a very rewarding journey to get more agile and powerfull over the Progression of the game. And it is not linear. You are not forced to a certain skill or way of playing. You can also walk 😉

@sukalemon I feel the same way

Cutter always had very scifi gear like teleportation and his magic backpack. Because of that I think it fits. And it's certainly not just an afterthought but they have built the game world around it with a lot of verticality and size. Which in turn makes this new part of Adelpha feel pretty epic. It's also probably a good solution to moving around quickly in the later part of the game when you have seen most places and want to finish your fetch quest, in a game without cars. Sure, you could ride a Twon-Ha, but that jiggle gets old, fast, and you have to look for where that dumb beast ran off to after every fight... 🤣

@@OrtwinR Being able to fly some Adelphan sky beast would've been cooler and more fitting to the game

@@007nikster2 Well, you can do that, as well. At least the Galenta, maybe a Ventilope, looks like those Nom-Noms are used by Talan for air races as well... But you need a more dynamic, immediate solution for navigating all those vertical details. I'm glad I don't have to worry as much about falling off a tree house in Emea or one of those pillars in Desan. It's certainly not the same as in Outcast 1 but I do think it will fit this game well because it was entirely built around these movement options.

Select hardest difficulty and you really need to approch carefully and slowly or you'll get reverted quickly...

And yes, as many have pointed out, the Talan voices are too human. We need back the otherworldly weird voices of the first game.. haha

@@Roberto_Mafra We are old and nostalgic, I don't know if the audience that will get to know the game would like the old voices... I have a feeling that they want to capture a new audience with this game I think that's good the only thing that I don't like is that hair hahaha. I prefer him bald

Thanks a lot! It means a lot to us that superfans like you are positive about the direction and changes we made.

hehe yeah that jetpack certainly feels Elex-ey. Tho I gotta admit I kinda enjoyed jetpack-based world exploration in Elex - it's def more fun to get places with jetpack than on foot

Of course everything will be explained in the game and Story! We took grear care to do so.

Sounds Like Star Wars

Me too my friend, 24 long years ... it is a dream come true.

Hopefully we'll get some more news soon 🙏

THQN usually announces Release dates quite close to the date and when it is guranteed they make the date. They dont want to push it around constantly like other companies do...

Unfortunately stealth is not a focus of the game design. Therefore we dont have these tech gadgets anymore. But there are new interessting combat options that you can aquire during the game.

@@PlanetAdelpha I got it, thanks for the reply! I'm looking forward the release :) the game looks great!

Cant say exactly which Hardware it needs for max details, but the team is heavy into optimization. Unfortunately bringing back David Gasman was not possible.

Unfortunately no co-op as it was designed as a pure singleplayer adventure. There are several levels of difficulty to select, so you should find your challenge.

The game will be shipped feature complete as a complete gaming experience. No Zort planned.

The trouble with this is that the whole game needs to be designed with that in mind. In the first game, all NPCs could give you directions, which was great because it made the world feel alive, but it also meant you didn't get too lost. But if you don't build that, and then just turn the waypoints off, it will be really hard to find things, especially in a larger world. I hope they have the NPCs who can all give you directions like in the first game, but I suspect it's too much of a task

@@danielmorley8943 I think it was confirmed after initial feedback about this that a pointing where to go system has not been implemented this time and it was already too late to add it. On the other hand, I think the devs are very aware that they have to think about both, the old school Outcast 1 fans and the modern players used to quite a bit more comfort. I'm looking forward to what solutions and options they came up with. While I am pretty lazy and glad about most of the handholding in modern games, I'd probably turn off a lot of it in this one, as well.

@@danielmorley8943 indeed it is complicated to turn everything off. I am not making any promises, but it might be possible to turn off helping Tools and certain HUD displays, but not everything. Again, I cant promise much, we'll see what can be done.

@@OrtwinR yes as you said there will not be the exact O1 System where everybody can give you directions to everybody. That would habe been costly and quite difficult to pull of late in dev and had to be sacrificed for other more important improvements

Ich denke im fertigen Spiel wirst du froh sein im späteren Spielverlauf dank Jetpack schneller reisen zu können. Wie ich schon öfters geschrieben habe ist die Upgradestufe im Video als eher Endgame anzusehen und du wirst große Strecken des Spiels nicht so mächtig sein und nicht soweit fliegen können. Das kommt erst nach und nach und fühlt sich toll an stärker und agiler zu werden.

Yeah me too. Maybe I'll do a commented livestream of the remake leading up to the sequel Release.

Manfred Lehmann war leider keine Option, er ist ja auch schon weit über 70 Jahre alt. Es wurde aber ein sehr guter und Würdiger Nachfolger mit Torsten Münchow gefunden!

Ich bin froh, dass nicht nur mir das Gesicht und die Haare des neuen Cutters komisch vorkommen

In the final game you can easy chose any audio and subtitles of your preference and combine.

Thanks and Lennie Moore is an amazing composer. Outcast simply cannot be Outcast without him 😎

Leider nein. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist das unmöglich noch hinzuzufügen. Wurde von Anfang an als Singelplayer designed. Aber ich gebe dir recht, würde spaßig sein die Kämpfe zu zweit.

@@PlanetAdelpha Jetzt wo Appeal parallel Erfahrungen mit Co-op sammeln konnte, aber vielleicht eine Überlegung für die Zukunft? 🙃

@@OrtwinR tja spannend ist die Idee allemal.

Devs are working full time to get a smooth Performance for launch!

What you see here is late game jetpack with mayn Upgrades. It will be a constant and rewarding process to upgrade it. at the start your jetpack is way less powerfull!

Sad to hear you disliked it so much 😕 I also grew up with the original and it stayed my favorite game of all time through all these years. The sequel does certain things different, yes, but the soul of Adelpha is intact with the Talans, the Story, the Lore. Those things are not featured in this video (which has a focus on showing off the combat) but are very important parts of the full game experience. I hope you give the game a shot and see if you can find enjoyment in those parts.

@@PlanetAdelpha Hey, thanks for replying. Now that I've read through my comment again, I think maybe I was the one exaggerating. Of course I'm staying with what I said and I will definitely check this game out some time after its release, but I don't think this game deserves my full price purchase (yet). The reason I reacted this way is just because I think modern games are too different to what we grew up with. Things in this video look too unrealistic from the games perspective, if you know what I mean. As if this is another game-universe, not what we know. Like, I don't want the next Outcast to be another single player Fortnite, I want Outcast to be Outcast. Or another example, the controversy with Blizzard and Diablo 4, if you've caught that recently. Blizzard made D4, which looks like the old games we loved, but in its soul, those games are nothing alike. Besides, the people who worked on said older games aren't even in Blizzard anymore. Anyway, that's another topic for corporate greed and stuff. I'm happy people find joy in this teaser. After all, that's what games should initially be about, right? Take care, guys.

​@@Riszu I understand what u saying, but hey they want to bring new players to the game or you think new player would be interested if it was like the first game and be excited like you was for the first one back then? Dont be angry about the game gameplay you dont know how hard it is to make those animations look good the devs and design did a good job despite being generic and avarage gameplay we see nowadays, buy it and play it and enjoy dont think about the past game but the present one and how you can enjoy it. I also have bad points to make I dont like his look also we know if it was a attractive woman this game would sell a lot but they decided to make a man and a old look one with dad jokes so yea i dont think they kinda want to be like the other games .. anyways lets enjoy the game when it releases

So what youre saying is, it looks like a video game..

@@WoodstarForges More like "nothing special" But feel free to enjoy games like that and don't let people tell you what to like or what to do.

Fair to share your opinion. I still hope you will enjoy the full experience the game offers. As the title of the video suggests this is a combat focus video not showing a lot of other gameplay the game offers.

@@PlanetAdelpha oh but it makes the whole game... I wish you d ve stuck with the old mechanics and enemies. the style we all adore

I agree that recent Trailers and Material focused too much on the combat. Hope for a character and Story Trailer soon, we need one! But dont be afraid or misled be these combat Trailers. There is still a lot lot lot of Exploration, dialog, cutscenes and universe to uncover. Combat and platforming is only part of it.

That's just a combat part and does not show all the different gameplay this game has to offer...

@@PlanetAdelpha the visual is cool, i keep an eye.
