Discuss.

[Gilrod]

Awesome news! can't wait.

[Connell]

Wouldn't have thought you were an Oddworld guy personally

[Xavier]

Wow speedy shit, I guess I'll close my new topic then and paste my impressions here:

New article on Oddworld.com
http://www.oddworld.com/2014/04/oddw...e-date-update/

If I understand it correctly we will know the release date in less then 45 days. So yay!

The fact they have decided to enable Cross Buy is realy sweet as I was going to buy it on PS3 and was toying with the idea of getting the Vita.

Also Screenshots!

Oh yeah I want to add, this Firefree zone screenshot is absolutely fantastic.

[Scrabaniac]

These screenshots are amazing. It's a shame it's not going for a spring release, but I already new that. As for release date announcement before 9th June, I will imagine we will hear about that on the 8th :P

[Bullet Magnet]

Oh hey, I didn't know Smallface was in this game.

[JennyGenesis]

Damn! Still no solid release date :'(

But the mention of E3 has got me curious, is the game being shown there?

[Xavier]

I just want to be sure I got this right:

Is the game to be released in less then 45 days or are we going to get the release date in less then 45 days?

Because on Facebook, VG247.com (and Stew shared the post) seems to think it's going to be released before E3. Seriously, when you make a statement like that make 100% sure it can absolutly not be ambiguous.

[Wil]

The release date will be revealed before E3.

[Varrok]

Oh. Apparently you can manually aim rocks/grenades now.

[Xavier]

The release date will be revealed before E3.

That's what I tought, but that VG247.com post on FB made me doubt.

Thank you for the clarification


EDIT: Ha! VG247.com edited their post! Glad this got sorted out.

23:59 of course.

Awesome News!

Loving small face, as BM put it. Not so much loving the little whistle music notes but hey ho you can't have it all. All in all it seems to be coming together nicely, cannae wait for June now!

Still hoping the PC release isn't too long after the PS4 release though!!

[El Dango AGAIN]

Screenshots are gorgeous as usual. Also I'm glad that aiming has become less of a guessing game, that's a massive improvement!

[Pirfsich]

Still hoping the PC release isn't too long after the PS4 release though!!

Well, we need to wait at least 1 month...

[Holy Sock]

Screenshots looks great. But man, I feel like I'm spoiling myself!!

It's for the deaf gamers! Visual cues and all that.

[AvengingGibbons]

They've nailed the sillouhette effect for Paramonian Nests, looks scrumptious

Anyone noticed the grenade/rock throw aiming guideline in the rupturefarms shot?

[MeechMunchie]

Oh. Apparently you can manually aim rocks/grenades now.

Yes.

Also, Scrabs have tongues now.

[Varrok]

They had them before, they were never showed ingame though, I think

[Wil]

Also, Scrabs have tongues now.

I've still got my fingers crossed for fluffy Sligs.

[MeechMunchie]

They had them before, they were never showed ingame though, I think

... so they didn't have tongues.

[JayDee]

Damned Smallface, that was going to be my idea!

Seriously looking forward to seeing this released now. It looks beautiful and that £20 price is the best news I've heard all week.

[Varrok]

... so they didn't have tongues.

We've never seen your penis, that must mean you've never had any.

No, we don't want to see your penis.

Because you don't have one, lol.

[RoryF]

So is this pics or it didn't happen, or no pics but it happened anyway? I'm confused.

[Nepsotic]

That FFZ screenshot gave me a headache.

Looks amazing, though.

[Jordan]

Nice to see more of the Stockyards.

£20 is great. I'd pay 40 but still 'tis all good.

[MeechMunchie]

We've never seen your penis, that must mean you've never had any.

But if I draw a picture of myself with a vagina, that means I must have one?

So is this pics or it didn't happen, or no pics but it happened anyway? I'm confused.

Order of events:

Scrabs designed
AO
AE
Tongues added to design (AoOWI page 226)
MO
Tongues added to actual Scrab models
MOHD
NnT

Varrok thinks that because the idea of giving Scrabs tongues was on paper, that means that Scrabs, as a metaphysical artistic construct, had tongues.

However, no actual Scrabs with tongues appeared until MOHD, making New 'n' Tasty the first Oddworld title to feature Scrab tongues at launch.

Duh.

[V_O_T]

Looks wicked! The attention to detail is incredible!

The music notes are a bit unrealistic but neat none the less

Amazing effort as always with the little things. The small masked Mudokon is a brilliant idea. Can't wait to see more from you guys I hope it gets darker and darker :3

[Connell]

The music notes are quite a big intrusion on the atmosphere. They're basically smashing down the fourth wall, building an en suite bathroom and inviting you all to play Wii Music whilst you're there.



Great game though guys, looking forward to playing it and stuff.

[Nate]

The musical notes don't bother me. The flatness of the tube in the background of this screenshot, and the way the vines wrapped around it just cut off at the top, on the other hand... [\nitpicky]

All the other pics look great, though.
