Oddworld: Soulstorm behind closed doors

The guys from Oddworld Inhabitants showed me Oddworld: Soulstorm behind closed doors at E3 and I'm super impressed with what I saw.

However, I'm under NDA so that's almost all I can actually share about it as they asked me not to go into the specifics.

What I can say is that the whole game feels more fluid, more alive and more dynamic than any other Oddworld game.

It's like they took everything I love about Oddworld and turned it to 11. I literally had a shiver down my spine while watching it.

They really weren't kidding when they said this game was going to be dark.

I really wish I could share more with you guys.

Proper hyped for this, more so than for Death Stranding/TLOU2 and I loved the earlier games of both of those companies too.

Xavier you fuck! Why you must do this to us D: But this apart, glad to hear this game looks good and dark in the gameplay too. However, I must say, this all doesn't look fair imo, telling to us that you saw in preview the game. You're just teasing more and it's annoying, even though I'm still glad to hear that this game is going good.

I just wanted to be honest with you guys and try and share what I saw.

I know it feels like I'm teasing you guys but that's really not my intention.

Oh well don't worry dude, it's cool. You did the right thing, I was just saying the bad things about it (and that's what I keep doing with everything, and I should stop with it).

Nice dude, glad one of us got in to suss it out.

Can you tell us if it were gameplay or cinematics you got to see?

We're many people with you during the showing?

Was Lorne there? If so how is the old bean?

I'm glad you approve of what they've done so far.

Did they ask you for your opinion on anything or was it a play and run away?

Indeed - it was one of the reasons we wanted him to see it running.

And instead of giving it a more objective critical look, he went all fanboy and said it was perfect? (Well, 11/10 is technically more than perfect) What a waste of a potentionally good feedback

If anything about Soulstorm is less than 11/10, this one is purely on you, Xav

I'm kinda worried they're going to over-compensate for the goofiness of NnT. With AO and AE the transition wasn't jarring because it was subtle, so I guess all I'm hoping for is that they keep some semblance of subtlety and don't go full Dark Knight. At least not at first.
