Outcast - A New Beginning - Interview with Yves Grolet (Creative Director) 

American here! Loved Outcast since it's 1999 release on Windows 98/2000 when I was a 4 year old! My dad learned about this game from a coworker who was a Windows game demo subscriber back then, and he let my dad borrow the demo version of this game. My dad let me and my brothers play it also, and we've loved it so much we decided to buy the full game! We still own the discs and the Prima guide book besides each of us owning the Steam/GOG version on our computers! I even informed them of this sequel once I found out, and looking forward to it!

Awesome video! So very happy that Yves get's to continue the story of Outcast as he envisioned! Heres to many more!

great interview !

Praise the Yods!! That was a lot of great things to hear! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both at Gamescom. It's even more amazing to see Yves talking about his hopes for this game and the future! I truly hope from the bottom of my heart that Outcast 2 becomes even bigger so we can continue our adventure for many more years to come! ♥

Interesting insights. Thx for the interview! I’m looking so much forward to Outcast 2.

There's a word here in the West of Scotland that perfectly describes the attitudes of the Talan, and that's gallus. Hopefully they are still as gallus as they were the first time around. Looking forward to this sequel so much!

Thanks for sharing this interview. I was impressed by what he spoke at the end. Actually all the information from Yves opened several debates. Until today I could not put the interview in Spanish on the Outcast Spain website, sorry for the delay. Greetings from Spain! ✌️😉

Cant wait !.AWESOME

Now available with english subtitles!

Sounds interesting. I can't wait!

Great video. Really enjoyed the demo at gamescom. Was a welcome surprise. Did not expect it to be playable, was expecting a developer presentation. Really gave me the outcast vibe.

*Thanks Yves* - gives me hope that I may "roam 'Adelpha' island" - after the _YA- "shoot droids on a spaceship" demo_ *_shock_* ...danke *Fabian* für die daher unkommentierten Videos.

This video inspires a lot of optimism!

💜💜

Fantástic!

It's always great to hear from Yves, and the passion he has for the game! I must admit what we've seen so far left me a bit skeptical though: it very much looks like any other traditional open world game, with repetitive tasks, something the original Outcast was the opposite of in its originality. A perfect example is what Yves called a preference for skills based progression, rather than quest based progression: quests don't need to be repetitive fetch missions, and can actually be an excellent source of narrative evolution of the plot (eg as they did very well in Mass Effect, Witcher and a few others). Skill based progression makes me think of those awful Assassin's Creed clones where you had to collect 100 feathers or fly across X targets to unlock stuff, which is boring and a terrible way to write a game. Let's hope it won't be like that for Outcast 2, and that it will be up to the amazing original game!

This needs subtitles due to his heavy accent.

I'm a little bit worried about that sci-fi part with robots fighting because this is new to the game and for now it doesn't make any sense. I'm also concerned about the Talans' faces which seem to be very repetitive. Several Talans with the same face. I'm also concerned about the soundtrack which is a big part of the Outcast experience!

These guys remind me of old school BioWare please, whatever you do, DO NOT take money from Black Rock, Vanguard or State Street. IF you guys need the $ go Kickstarter atleast!!!

Will stealth be part of outcast 2, as in more, less or the same amount as the first one? That is the only thing I liked the least about the first one. You got a stealth tutorial and more or less no real use for it except like in okasankaar.

So Outcast jumped on the train of feminacism also...
