Hmm, do we have a pre-order date for Steam yet? I can't find anything to suggest one has been set yet.

So...5th February?

teehee

So while we're talking about the PC version...are any of the JAW team willing to talk about what exactly has been..fixed for this version?
As in I'm hoping it's namely..Abe jumping into wells like Pam Poovey on Speedballs..The animations being too fast, the overall pacing of the gameplay being cranked way, way too high because of said cocaine sniffing animations? The sounds of certain creatures..the music in cutscenes blaring over Abe.. The fact that slogs are no longer threatening in the slightest due to the music changes and hell even just the sounds of the slogs themselves?
Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the art style or the gameplay.. but please for the love of god can we please just have these things fixed? I'm sure plenty of people have mentioned them before but it's like those who have the testicular fortitude to say something are drowned out by the cacophonous wails of those too blinded by rose tinted nostalgia glasses to even mention anything..

Hopefully after learning from new n tasty, exodus will be grace us with its presence a lot faster. I'm already hungry for it and i haven't even played new n tasty yet.

There are still bugs that need to be fixed before minor aesthetic changes.
Zulag 3 is still cursed...

Holy Sock 01-27-2015 02:15 AM

Yeah, i think you're going to get the same game with some "subtle fixes" as mentioned on Twitter. It's a port not an overhall. If we're gonna get changes as big as new character animations you'll have to wait for the Exoddus remake to see if they'll do anything.

Crashpunk 01-27-2015 04:53 AM

I can bet the game will be just a straight up port with PC functions. And that's fine with me.

Nothing is impossible, But if they were going to do a massive bug fix, they'll have to do it for PS4 as well.

1st time playing munch and hearing paramites with pig noises and scrabs with tigers or lions but it made me want to cuddle them not run in fear of my life. :lick: compared with the horror noises of AO & AE much tamed for 6 year olds i hope slogs didnt get tamed in nnt oh...

in watching that the music doesnt change at all how you know to panic and shoot for your life with the dynamic music missing :dodgy:

Shade667 01-28-2015 06:41 PM

I love the style of New n Tasty personally, I dont see any reason to change it. Animations are fluid and flow in a natural sort of way (or what id expect from a skinny, flailing mudokon).

But that Zulag 3 cursed room doe.

There are two mines that don't react to grenades on PS4 in one of the rooms.

Shade667 01-29-2015 02:03 AM

Thats not the problem. We use a workaround for that, takes like 4 seconds longer, we run a slig into the bottom one and time when the Mudokons run across so they get in safely. The problem is the elevator going up to the power switch. SOMETIMES it doesnt decide to work. Sutiibu posted a video on the Blog a few months ago, when we discovered the glitch. It kills a speedrun instantly, have to restart the level. Im pretty sure we tested if dying resets it. Even then, thats a dead run.

It's a problem, for sure, and one that's fixed going forward. :fuzwink:

Shade667 01-29-2015 02:09 AM

Edit: nvm, didnt read the post properly.


Are u guys aware of the othr bugs? I know sutiibu's game is unstable and crashes alot, its why he doensnt run 100%. Mines stable though, no problems, other than the infinite roll glitch. Sometimes if I go into a roll space too fast abe will infinitely roll and I cnat stop him until he hits a wall, hell even roll over air. usually its straigth into a slogs hungry mouth though, or a mine.

That Walter White figure is awesome and there's just so much space there, perfect! What are those two other movie posters besides Blade Runner and The Thing?

What? Theyve already announced the release date, 25th of february.
There was a big blog post about it, even crash made a video.

Holy Sock 02-02-2015 02:00 PM

You can pre-purchase it on Steam now. Although not in the UK it seems...

:

Pre-purchase details:

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is now available for pre-purchase release. The pre-purchase price is just $20 / £15 / €20, and with a 10% discount on pre-purchases. Pre-purchasing will also grant upon the game’s release access to the expansive Alf’s Escape DLC and the Scrub Abe costume DLC as part of the bundle at no extra cost.

Both sets of DLC will be available on Steam for everyone else on release.

--

Game release:

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty will release on Steam (with other retailers to be announced) on the 25th of February, 2015. It will launch for Windows, Mac and Linux at the same time, with one purchase unlocking all Steam versions.

Minimum and recommended specifications:

4GB of RAM and at least 10GB of hard drive space are required, regardless of the version downloaded.

Windows:

Minimum spec:
Windows 7
Intel i3-3220 (3.30GHz)
Radeon HD 5700
Recommended spec:
Windows 7 (64 bit) Service Pack 1
Intel i5
Radeon HD 6800 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 770

Mac:

Minimum spec:
10.8.5 Mountain Lion
Intel i3
Recommended spec:
10.10 Yosemite
Intel i5

Linux:

Recommended spec:
Ubuntu 14.04 or similar
AMD Athlon X4 750K
Radeon R7 200
Language support:

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty has user interface menus and cut-scene subtitles in: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Turkish, Polish, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese.

The game carries English voice acting only.

Steam version specific features:

The Steam version of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty supports keyboard and mouse – and Xbox 360 controllers throughout the menus and in-game, and there’s also fully configurable keyboard binding.

The game supports frame rates of up to 60 frames per second and resolution up to 4K (both spec dependent) with a number of graphics sliders for settings like texture detail, anti-aliasing and so on.

There’s also Steam cloud synchronisation for game saves, Steam leaderboards and a set of Steam trading cards.

Other tweaks and improvements:

Listening to feedback from last year’s PlayStation 4 version, the Steam version of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty features the same ‘old school’ controls that were introduced a few months after release, which more closely resemble the controls found in the original Abe’s Oddysee (with respect to walk/run and lateral jumping).

We’ve also removed the cross-game promotional banners, added the ability to skip all cut-scenes without already having watched them and addressed a number of bugs (including indestructible mines in one part of the game and a somewhat unreliable elevator towards the end) and, of course, included all the incremental benefits brought by the updates to the PS4 version like adjusted level layouts and audio design fixes.

Yay! It's on steam for pre order?! Woo hoo!

Crashpunk 02-02-2015 02:20 PM

Dumb moment
 
Ye- wait no. It just says Coming soon. :fuzconf:

I thought Holy Sock meant the store page doesn't load in the UK (for some reason).

Holy Sock 02-02-2015 02:20 PM

It just says "Available: Coming Soon..." for me.

Crashpunk 02-02-2015 02:50 PM

It's fixed for me.

It's priced at £13.49 -10%

Manco 02-02-2015 03:05 PM

Pre-ordered.

I see some people already have game-time logged for it …

Strnadik 02-02-2015 03:21 PM

Gonna pre-order in a few hours, I just can't wait!

V_O_T 02-02-2015 03:40 PM

Pre-ordered and ready. Thats 3 times i've gotten this game now... See OWI? This is how much lust I have for thee. I still plan on gifting some copies too.




Please, please let this franchise be revived and given a great future. The lore of the universe is what I'm a sucker for lol.

Holy Sock 02-02-2015 03:48 PM

Aye, pre-ordered it meself there. I look forward to the big nostalgic dump.

I don't know if anyone has asked yet, but what's the plan with DRM in the PC release?

pls respond

SoulStorm64 02-02-2015 05:25 PM

Pre ordered, couldn't pass up that price can't wait to play it!

Phylum 02-02-2015 05:49 PM

Going to pre-order when I get back from the shops :D

Shade667 02-02-2015 06:30 PM

Im giddy. Not to play the PC version, but because of what it says at the bottom. No more Zulag 3, cursed room? What is this Black magic!? Wish it happened sooner, I got the elevator bug in a recent run :/ Also, cutscene skipping, yes please. When I deleted my save date for the leaderboard wipe I had to sit through every cutscene. So annoying for a speedrun.

Hulaabeo 02-02-2015 07:15 PM

I return from the dead and find myself with the pre-order for New and Tasty on my lap. Tis a glorious day to be alive!

SoulStorm64 02-02-2015 07:24 PM

too bad steam://install/314660 doesn't work anymore :S....

Nate 02-02-2015 09:45 PM

Is there any news on the DLC yet?

SoulStorm64 02-02-2015 10:54 PM

On the steam page it said that the dlc would be available once the game is released on PC on the 25th, at least that's what I gathered from it.

Both sets (Scrub Abe/Alf) are ready to roll day one. Pre-purchases will get the 10% discount off ONNT and the two DLCs. :D

It's whatever Steam's basic DRM is. No other wrappers etc.

Last minute glitch when it went live. Should all be fixed now.

Havoc 02-03-2015 02:27 AM

Are the Steam Trading Cards viewable somewhere? I'm kinda curious what you guys did for those :D
