Yeah, so many incredible tpp action adventure games came out since 1999, like um... Gothic and umm.. Gothic 2. There was also that Gothic 2:NotR game. There wasn't one game in 14 years better then Outcast in it's genre, so leave quotes like "it was great game for it's time" for journalists
Maybe Stalker Alpha will see a light in the end of tunnelI always have that strange, weird fascination about cancelled games. It feels like an alternate universe that "could have been". Even if it sucks, the sheer fact that there exists some data somewhere allowing me to explore that universe somehow, and that it will never be unveiled and showed to the general public disappoints me in great ways. I am still in tears over Earthbound 64, Van Buren, Project Jefferson, the Sam & Max Lucas Arts game and fucking Shenmue 3.

They are pretty close... to be released or to be vapourwareMaybe Stalker Alpha will see a light in the end of tunnel
How they are going, reached vapourware status yet?
Remember that time in history when games actually had real-time lighting and shadowing, and finally PC graphics were really starting to look impressive... and then it was all replaced with ugly low-res baked-in lightmaps because consoles couldn't handle it for the next 10 years?This is the second time Yves Grolet is trying to create a sequel to Outcast.
In 2011 he created a new company called Elsewhere Entertainment and in 2003 they released a tech demo. Unfortunately the company was closed soon after but at least we got some footage.

New Belgium-based firm working on series reboot
Development veterans behind the original Outcast IP have opened a new console-focused studio in Belgium.
Called Daoka, the developer is formed from AMA Studios S.A., which has worked on titles such as Fighters Uncaged and My Personal Self Defense Coach, and Belgian outfit Appeal S.A., staffed by Outcast creators Yann Robert, Yves Grolet and Franck Sauer.
The studio said it has been working on its debut title for next-gen consoles, based on the Outcast IP recently acquired from Atari, for the last two years.
First released in 1999 for PC, Outcast was a sci-fi action adventure game developed by Appeal S.A., in which the world is under threat from a black hole.
The Outcast IP put things in motion. Not many but still.

One area is a large city including a castle. Still the architecture is quite simplistic, no labyrinthine buildings. I actually like it the way it is.I'm still doing the first "area" (the one with a lot of farmer planting rice), and I've noticed something...is the game consisting only of outdoor areas (with a few houses mixed in)? No big structures, only running in the wild? I may have been spoiled by other open world games :/
