I was blown away by that! The trailer looks incredible. And we have a release date too! Next year can't come soon enough.

I can't be bothered to pick any faults with it, I'm too excited

Yes.

It looks great but I agree with Varrok about the OWI logo. I like the saw and everything but in the original it was dark and atmospheric whereas now it looks cartoony and amateurish. HOWEVER I did say that the trailer looks great.

CRUCIFY HIM

I wondered about the score. Because it sounded like Abe's Oddysee, but I could definitely hear Bross in it. Which is welcome, but I don't know what it is that I identify his work by.

Hi again. I think there will be another trailer with paramite theme (cause we have already cinematic with scrabs, scrabs and also... scrabs!). It's just my opinion, but think about that.

Monsaic Lines looks great. Nothing else really matters.

Or they want to keep some surprise for when we actually play the game.


Also those spider creatures are definately based on the early concepts of SW's Bolamites:

which were then changed to:

So are they called Bolamites and related to SW's Bolamites or are they now completely different?

Maybe they're actually called Balomites!

Question! Why does the trailer only mention Playstation platforms? Several news sites have interpreted that as 'New 'n' Tasty will be Playstation exclusive'. Unless the cross platform plans have been changed you might want to rectify that ASAP.

It's hosted on the Playstation Youtube account. Fair enough they'd only advertise the Playstation version.

The graphic design theme is Glukkon labelling. It's literally the name of the game.

They're Bolamites. That design is so cool. Their abdomen rattles when they're startled, how could we resist?

It's a trailer for the PlayStation Blog.

Yeah, I agree the design is very cool. And I just remembered that they are in this form in the SW intro as well.

Makes me wonder why they changed it in the SW gameplay.

It’s the ambience. There’s some deep, slow bass going on that’s very reminiscent of the ambient background music from Stranger’s Wrath.

Sooooo...... what is it?

Hey, maybe bolamites which we saw in strangers wrath are fully evolved bolamites? And those in New N' Tasty trailer are pre-evo's? PO-KE-MON! lol...

In this thread:

Oddworld Forum users insist that they have only seen one type of spider throughout their entire lives.

I loved the new trailer and everything. But.... when I saw 'Spring 2014' I felt like a big pointy thing went in me. :P

Just a little longer than expected, but I'd rather wait to see a game of great quality than get a game now that's been rushed. ;)

Keep up the great work JAW and OWI! :D

I also have a quick question, where's JAW's logo? :P Just curious.

Yeah I was kinda hoping for a release this year, but 'Spring 2014' probably means *Late 2014*

fucking Bross? really?





fucking Bross?

Goddamnit, Bross.

GAME GRUMPS REFERENCE

It's a nondescript bladder on a stick, possibly some kind of weather vane.

Practically speaking, it's a functionless but very "odd" background decoration. We've chosen to focus on it because, shockingly, you're not the only one who can poke fun at obsessive fandoms.

Think of it as our Companion Cube.

HIYA WOF SO HOW ARE THOSE MOD POWERS

I always thought they were communication methods along long distances, so it acts as a notification when the bladders are inflated. Light the beacons!.. Except they aren't beacons..

They'll be a veritable Chekhov's Gun come Molluck's Oddysee, mark my words.

Yeah, but Wil did say that they were the same species...


By the way, am I the only person bothered by the fact that the Oddworld.com blog/Twitter/Facebook/etc promised a release date and yet the video only said 'Spring 2014'? A season is not a date!

A season is totally a date I don't know what you're talking about

I was born on the 15th of Spring.

In the novel I'm working on, the dating system relies on seasons. THERE ARE NO MONTHS. I'm a madman.

I'm just wondering here, and I'm guessing I probably won't get an answer because it'd give an interesting part of the game away, but: are there any other animals from post-AO games that might be included beyond the bolamites?

At this point I was really surprised, and I bet WoF was too.
