Figured this thread should be made what with the recent re-releases on PS4 and Switch.
One of my favorite games, was in a clan for it for awhile but it ended up disbanded.
It has a pretty active community even today, and the modding capability is fantastic, Movie Battles II and Movie Duels II often have plenty of people playing.
People say Outcast has better combat, but I disagree, especially if we're talking multiplayer, in Outcast DFA moves are way too forgiving and it goes from being good at the game to "who's better at DFA", Academy significantly slowed DFA down a ton, which makes it much harder to pull off.
