It just...shone too damn brightly. So much so that this 2010 remake of a 1999 game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcast_%28video_game%29) may well get more exposure.
Open Outcast is a fan-made mod for Crysis Wars, which seeks to recreate Appeal's brilliant open world adventure title with visuals a little more appropriate for this third millennium. Not that Outcast's graphics were bad - indeed, for 1999 they were revolutionary (http://www.metzomagic.com/images/2006/Outcast1b.jpg) - it's just, running on Crysis' engine, it now looks better.
All you need to download the mod is a trial version of Crysis Wars. After that, you can grab a demo of Open Outcast from the mod's official site. If you've never played the original, I'd highly recommend it.
