Looks remade to me, hardly taking the old game and tweaking the settings.

Totally remade. For once, the graphics ain't based on volumetric pixels anymore (called Voxels in short... but since Minecraft people understand something very different under Voxel now, sadly), but on polygons like any "normal" 3D Graphics engine

I would have loved it being remade in Voxels, but I think the PS4 CPU wouldn't be very happy with that. Voxels are entirely calculated by the processor, not the graphics chip as it lacks the ability to render them. This also made the original very hard on the Hardware back then as even high-end CPUs couldn't render the game in a good resolution, 512x384 was the best achievable back then on the best Pentium III processors. Though, the 2014 PC rerelease called Outcast 1.1 upped this up to 1920x1080 due to added multicore support, so it would certainly been doable on the PS4, too

SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE!!



It bought it at release, marveled at all the voxels, then kept dying and dying. Never got far. I'll play it again in VR. Otherwise nah.
