Outcast - A New Beginning - Demo Gameplay (Gamescom 2022) 

7:12 - going back to the ambient music after the fight and hearing the old music themes again in a newer form gave me goosebumps.

This looks amazing, but I miss the original voice. Hope a few locations from the first game will be in this one.

Now I feel worried. Outcast 2 main character sounds like a dorky Nathan Drake. Guys, this is a bad sight

This second game looks more action oriented. But its good - its like Giants Citizen Kabuto + Original Outcast ❤️❤️❤️

I cant wait to play this. The first game from 1999 is a masterpiece.

Oh, yeah! Any chance this demo will be released to the public? :)

love it!

i hope there will be an option to turn off the enemy hp bar and the dmg numbers.

This looks amazing! I'm trying to get my friends to play Second Contact on their consoles in order to introduce them to the series, as I'm making my way through that just now and am totally immersed, with the belief that it was totally underrated and looks/plays way better than many had claimed. This is on a whole other level, though, and I'll be keeping an eye on its progress. Cheers for the video!

Also sieht doch eigentlich ganz gut aus is zwar unklar wann es released wird aber das wirkt schon recht gut

Willkommen zurück liebe Talaner. 😁 Weiß man schon, wie es um die dt. Synchronisation steht?

Why is he aiming with strafing? Move the camera.

I gotta say, this game looks really good for a AA dev team. Though I feel like this demo didn't do the game enough justice. Still looks interesting nonetheless.

This looks so good.Thx

As a game i like what i am seeing, looks fun! But those talans dont really seem to act or talk like the talans we got to know from part 1, a bummer as they add so much to the exotic, mysterious and alien feel of adelpha.

This is amazing. But it kinda needs more population density.

Wow, das sieht fantastisch aus! Kann es kaum erwarten wieder in die Welt von Adelpha abzutauchen. Nur, dass Cutter mit dem Jetpack wie ein Hovercraft am Bauch durch die Landschaft fliegt sieht super weird aus. Ich denke hier würde ein aufrechte Position besser wirken.

Good! But...the face of Cutter Slade...I dont know why i dont like. But impressive graphics and good gameplay.

voxel?

Sieht sehr gut aus. Aber noch etwas hakelig

Elex 2 Greetings!

Das Kampfsystem ist ja mal unterirdisch... Hoffe da wird nachgebessert. Der rest war ok.

Ich bin irgendwie zwiegespalten. Das hier sieht sehr gut aus. Besonders für ein AA Spiel oder im Vergleich zu Second Contakt, aber mir sind ein paar Dinge aufgefallen wo ich hoffe, dass das an der Demo liegt, denn sonst sind diese irgendwie für mich Red Flags. 1 Tag Nacht wechsel. Ist bei Teil 2 so wie in Teil 1 immer Tag? Wenn ja würde ich das irgendwie schade finden. Outcast 1 war einer der ersten echten Open World Spiele und daher mache ich weder dem Original noch dem Remake einen Vorwurf das es keine Tag Nacht wechsel gab. Aber im Jahr 2022? Ich meine ich ziehe mal den vergleich zu einer anderen THQ Nordic marke die gerade Gehypt wurde. Gothic. Hier gab es in Gothic 1 im Jahr 2001 das von einem kleineren Team entwickelt wurde als damals Outcast was Immersion, angeht den, schritt den ich mir schon damals von den Sequel erwartet habe. Nochmal es muss jetzt nicht so sein wie in Gothic das jeder NPC und jedes Monster seinen Tagesablauf hat (Beim Gothic Remake sieht das schon anders aus.) aber ein Tag Nacht wechsel ist doch im Jahr 2022 bei Open World Spiele Standard es den man ist, Bioware. Ich hoffe wirklich dass das einfach nur an der Demo Liegt aber ich gebe es ganz offen zu irgendwie hat mich am Remake der ewige Tag gestort. Und wenn das so ist kann man das bitte irgendwie Ingame erklären z.B das es im System wo Adelpha liegt mehrere Sonnen gibt oder Adelpha in der Habitablen Zone eines Roten Zwerg ist und deswegen eine gebundene Rotation hat. Denn das ist schon ein Immersionsbrecher. 2. Die Weitsicht. Ach ja AA Spiele und die Weitsicht. Vielleicht liegt das hier auch nur an der Demo und der Begrenzung, aber irgendwie hätte ich mir von der Weitsicht doch mehr erwartet. Denn auch hier gerade die Weitsicht war im Original Outcast doch einer der großen Grafik Features, da finde ich es ein bisschen semi geil, dass wir hier am Stand der letzten Konsolengeneration sind (hallo ich habe mir vor fast 2 Jahren eine neue Konsole gekauft und ich frage mich regelmäßig warum habe ich das getan. Ich habe noch nichts gespielt, was nicht mit Mühe entweder auf der alten Generation laufen könnte oder sogar noch auf der alten Läuft Xbox Series S.). Das sind jetzt keine Punkte wo ich sage das Spiel wird schlecht, und wie gesagt ich kann mir gut vorstellen dass das einfach an der Demo liegt.

Sorry for littering your comment section but, yep, my fears from back when I first heard about this sequel are confirmed. I hate to be the honest one and say it out loud but this is the complete opposite of what made Outcast an amazing and unique game. Why did the devs think it was a good idea to make it a generic over-the-top futuristic shooter? Who are they trying to appeal to? 12 year old kids from back in 2015 when this was popular? Maybe it would have been a hit when they tried for a sequel two decades ago but now this kind of game is so over-saturated to the point that its a meme. I honestly can't tell if I'm watching gameplay from Mass Effect or Halo or Anthem or Destiny or Titanfall or Apex Legends or Horizon Zero Dawn or Warframe or Ark or Infinite Warfare or Final Fantasy 15... List goes on. The generic UI and generic damage numbers popping up every time you hit something are a massive turn off in any game but specially here. The weapon customization, while sounds like a good idea in paper, is just an overused chore that doesn't work in most games much less in this one. Cutter Slade looks and sounds like my long lost uncle going through a mid-life crisis. If they straight up used the original low poly model from 99 it would look a billion times better. He went from a badass but believable Navy Seal to a Master Chief on crack. Sure he had some futuristic and crazy gadgets and weapons in the original game but it never felt over-the-top, he always felt like just a human using his military training and Earths technology in an ancient world. Now he can fly, make magical blue shields and punch enemies into orbit. I get that the devs want to adapt or modernize the game for new players but this is going way too far to the point where the game lost its identity, heart and soul and blends in with an endless ocean of generic futuristic shooters out there. This new Cutter is a parody of himself and the dialogue isn't snarky and witty like the original, its just extremely cringe. The voice actor does what he can with the script but hes just not Cutter Slade. That flying close to the ground part was the dumbest looking thing I've ever seen. Little things like the talan speaking English to himself while alone before dying to the worm and the way the talan in the village has absolutely no reaction to a living legend coming up to talk to him makes no sense. Yes I'm sure there will be explanations and blah blah blah but at this point I'm just ranting. The soundtrack, as expected from the genius and virtuoso Lennie Moore, is perfect as always. The world is absolutely beautiful, amazing job there but in this day and age that is not impressive by itself, it just looks similar to any other map we have seen in hundreds of other games, might as well call it ''sci-fi planet #6437'' instead of Adelpha. The maps in the original game were so unique and still look pretty and mystical to this day even with the horrible and limited 1999s graphics. Even the iconic moons are so hidden, I've seen them like 3 times in all of the material that is out like trailers and gameplay and I had to pay close attention to notice them. Second Contact nailed it perfectly but somehow we got a massive downgrade in style even if we got an upgrade in graphics, and graphics alone doesn't make a world believable or immersive. And as much as I love open worlds, the game lost its identity again with the one big open world with tons of Daokas as a cheap fast travel system instead of multiple isolated new regions and a visit to past regions, which, in all honesty, is what every fan wanted the most out of this game, even if they don't have the courage of saying so out loud. I could go on for hours but thing is, as much as I want to be wrong and hope the best for the Outcast 2 team, this is a flop.

Please put a limit on the use of the jetpack, this needs to be nerfed urgently. Go back with Twon-ha. And I don't like the idea of ​​points on the screen for missions, the fun of Outcats 1999 was precisely looking for the Talans just by compass indications, not with points on the map. Beware of many enemy robots, I hope that we fans of the saga encounter other enemy Talans too instead of just robots. Otherwise it's very good. Good job.
