IGN put up their preview on the Outfit at GC Games Convention. It’s pretty general and mostly repeats all the points from the Gamespy review. One of the points that is repeated is the March 2006 release date. I’m hoping that it’s the European release date. Here is a quick snip.
While Relic is best known for their PC RTS games, The Outfit is pretty much a gritty, balls-out action game set in Europe during World War II. There are a few RTS elements, which we’ll get into in a bit, but for the most part it’s run and gun and gun and gun. Because The Outfit focuses on military action, firepower, as well as thousands of bullets, play a big role in the game. Luckily, instead of running out of ammo, guns just overheat. It’s not so bad for most types of guns — you just can’t shoot for a while — but if you overuse the flame thrower when it’s hot, bad, bad things are bound to happen, especially to your hands, face and any other bits of exposed flesh.
