Outcast HD Reboot & Expansion by Original Team.

I thought it was pretty cool the original team got back together and reacquired the IP. They've made a fair bit already after couple days on kickstarter:

I enjoyed the original and are excited its the same guys. Especially since they're adding more depth. ^_^

They posted a second update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/outcast-reboot-hd/outcast-reboot-hd/posts/807491

Loved the game back in the 90s, so I hope they can at least reach the minimum goal.

But they should try to get Bruce Willis (yeah, probably no interest/or too expensive) as the voice actor for the english version of Cutter Slade. The european versions had the respective voice actors for Bruce Willis. Cutter Slade and Bruce Willis is a really cool match in my opinion.

I haven't played the original game but I really hope the kickstarter campain will be successful. I had the pleasure to work with these guys a year ago and I can't wait to see what Outcast HD Reboot will look like as they are really great artists!

They posted a 4th update with a bust of the main character and it's looking really great =D

I'm really excited since Outcast is my favorite game of all time and back then it was very much ahead of it's time in my opinion

Looks pretty cool, reminds me of Body Harvest on the N64

Are they going with a voxel engine (i know the original wasn't real voxel either some other tech that involved voxel but really cant recall exactly what it did), because the visuals look kinda voxelish.

The developers just posted a video of actual gameplay, although characters and animations are still from the old game. It's looking really great =D

Kinda bummed they're so far away from their kickstarter goal amount. With such a short time period left it seems highly unlikely to succeed
Perhaps if they'd spammed polygon or kotaku and the like they could get some more attention.

Warhawk,

I am huge fan of Outcast. And I was full of happiness when I found out the original team is making HD update. It was a sad day for me, when the sequel to Outcast was caned back in the days. So to play a game with latest graphic fidelity was a huge moral booster.

I still remember every voxely level part. Even the story with all the character in it. Back in the days it was a thing of a beauty, with those awesome landscapes and great gameplay. Nice curvey hills and mountains full of mistery, plants and creatures. I also remember the water with great reflections and ripples when you swim trough it. Supported bye awesome orchestral soundtrack. It brings tears to my eyes, just by thinking of it.

So as an artist, I was wondering how they are tackling this huge task to remake everything from scratch. Here is a great video they have released.

They have released the second part of the video that warhawk posted above: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/outcast-reboot-hd/outcast-reboot-hd/posts/832214 Sad that they will not reach their funding goal (unless they magically get $350.000 in 3 days). I hope they learn from this kickstarter campaign and try again when they have more things to show.
