I know this doesn't directly link to Frontier or anything, but I was just wondering if anyone here ever played Outcast. It is a game that comes up in my head often and whilst reading all the articles about Outsider there are a few things that remind me of Outcast.
One feature I read about that drew my attention to The Outsider was that David B intends to make the game genuinely free roaming, in a way that not even GTA allows. As I was thinking about this I was thinking of the level of freedom that was given to the player during Outcast. There are other things and I could spend all day talking about this game but I was really just interested how many people had played it and if there were any similar feelings about it. In the end Outcast was still an action adventure with lots of shooting but one that I feel could have perhaps been ahead of it's time. I do remember it being a truly great game and my comparing it to Outsider is nothing other than complimentary to what I think Frontier are attempting to, and I hope will successfully, achieve.
I would be especially interested if any of the design team had played this game, heck considering the sales it got I would be interested in hearing from anyone who had played this game.
