I was a little concerned by the old-school'ness of the controls, but there's a Control.ini file that you can modify to your liking. I'm gonna go out of control on this game this weekend.

I get nostalgic about this in a way I don't really about anything else. It broke my heart that a sequel could not be made. What modern day open ended games like oblivion don't seem to understand, is the importance of the meaning of the overall vision, and fitting everything into that context. Although Outcast is free roaming, everything seems thematically related to the purpose of the game, which is basically anti-colonialist. With games like Oblivion, not only is the main story quite boring and bland, but none of the secondary plots/characters and locations really have anything to do with any overall purpose or theme, making them feel empty and characterless. Long live Outcast! without doubt my favourite game ever. I get nostalgic about this in a way I don’t really about anything else. It broke my heart that a sequel could not be made.

I never played this at the time because all the games mags gave it crap reviews. Looks like I missed out big time, as this sound like just the kind of game I would have loved, warts and all. Gutted!
