GameInformer has shared a video, showcasing 15 minutes of new gameplay footage from Outcast: A New Beginning. In this video, we get to see the jetpack mechanics that let you fly around the alien world at high speeds. We also get a glimpse at the game’s combat mechanics.
In Outcast 2, you step into the shoes of Cutter Slade, a former Navy SEAL known for his dry wit from the 90s. Your adventure unfolds on the alien world of Adelpha, where you’ll aid the local Talans in their struggles. Thus, you’ll engage in fast-paced battles against invading robot forces.
Now as you’ll see, some of the game’s traversal mechanics feel a bit rough. The sliding does not feel smooth, and the wingsuit could have been better. I’m certain I’m spoiled by Batman: Arkham Knight and Just Cause 3. These two games have the best wingsuits you can find in any game.
Outcast: A New Beginning is a double-A game, so don’t expect it to compete against most modern-day triple-A titles. So, I hope that its story will be interesting enough to keep my attention. Otherwise, this game will be dead on arrival. It may sound harsh, but that’s the truth. This isn’t a Souls-like game (which can appeal to a huge crowd). This is a third-person action game with some RPG elements and a crafting system.
THQ Nordic will release Outcast: A New Beginning on March 15th, and there is still no word on the game’s PC requirements. As soon as we get our hands on them, we’ll be sure to share them with you.
Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more!

Looks like it’d be fun for 10 minutes. This made me want elex3 or something else from PB.
People in general are way more harsh to AA titles than they are with buggy glitchy broken AAA titles
god this guy is so stupid, kyle hill, is that that thor looking “soyience” guy that gets spammed everywhere in youtube? I hate him, first game was not like avatar it was literally ripping off stargate and it was not open world it had regions and it got a remake, also forget spiderman 2, other games had wingsuits just cause to far cry and elex 2 and windfolk had jetpacks, in elex 2 and spacebourne 2 the jetpack functions the same. I swear people need to check out more AA games.
I appreciate the work you did on this and thank you for all the wonderful stuff.
I hope it delivers, I could use a decent adventure game, those are rare nowadays.
Looks like a flop. Plays like a flop. It might as well be a flop.
Fantastic! This is a truly amazing piece; I have gained a lot of clarity from it.
I expected terribl-er. Not too bad. Jumping and flying should have a bittt more weight, less like a puppet on strings and it would feel much more solid.
Lovely! This has been an absolutely fantastic post. I appreciate you sharing these specifics.
I would say it is one of the first 3d open world games, along with Driver: You are the wheelman.
Let’s finally accept that we will NEVER see great games like in the 90s anymore.
Cos one of the most important reasons that these games gave us so many feelings was the fact that they stimulated our imagination, thanks to their simplified graphics.
Pixel art was kinda blurry especially with scanlines, which was absolutely great to make character faces hard to distinguish, which help us imagine ANY face, actually.
Same for landscapes which were full of mysteries begging to be explored.
Low-poly 3D was also kinda good to some extent for the same reasons.
But now that we’ve reached the era of realistic gaming, all the magic and imagination are gone completely. It’s over.
This new Outcast looks and feels mostly like earth.
The otherworldly feeling of the original game is completely gone.
This also makes me realize that maybe it means that I didn’t really love games?
I guess I was more in love with my own worlds which I imagined THANKS to these games. Now that it became impossible, games lost most of their value to me.
(That goes for books too. How many of you were disappointed when a movie was extremely badly adapted from a book? You preferred the way you imagined the story in your mind.)
Some indie games are still doing it for me, but since it became so easy to use realistic 3D assets and stuff, there are less and less of them.
If you add to that fact that talent has vanished, art direction is a thing of the past, and so-called “artists” don’t even try to create anything memorable…
In the end, this new Outcast feels incredibly generic and bland.
You feel nothing from it.

these kind of games have my interrest because they remind me of toy action figures i played with.
I loved you even more than you’ll say here. The picture is nice and your writing is stylish, but you read it quickly. I think you should give it another chance soon. I’ll likely do that again and again if you keep this walk safe.

Hi Neat post There is a problem along with your website in internet explorer would test this IE still is the market chief and a good section of other folks will pass over your magnificent writing due to this problem
You could never find the words to describe how much I loved you. No matter how beautiful the picture is or how polished your writing is, you read it quickly. To be honest, I think you should give it another chance soon. I will probably try to go on this hike again and again if you make sure it is safe.
I enjoyed it just as much as you will be able to accomplish here. You should be apprehensive about providing the following, but the sketch is lovely and the writing is stylish; yet, you should definitely return back as you will be doing this walk so frequently.
Better this AA, then woke AAA like horizon zero puke with UGLY revolting butch lesbian main hero, dindus and LGBTP everywhere
Keep up the amazing work! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next.
