They're sacred mudokon grounds, so presumably that has something to do with it.

Paramites.

Meeps.

Slurgs.

Scrabs.

It's beautiful...

Ohh! I was very curious about how they are going to handle that "Scrab fight" animation. Looks nice!

Looking good, the lighting is superb. :)

So we finally got to see bee hives!

Oh... Um, wow. That's... well, that's an interesting bee design there.

Dem sprites man.

Abe looks genuinely afraid of the bees, he never seemed to really care in the original.

They've really out done themselves on those bee models there!

No but seriously it does kinda work like that but it still looks a bit strange.

Screenshots are looking mighty fine. Also the bees will probably look grand zipping around.

Are you suggesting it's gif time? :p

This picture is all kinds of weird.

Well, it is a low-resolution picture and it looks like the anti-aliasing is a bit off, maybe because it might be taken from console. His eyes are a bit weird. Those bees are a little bit weird, if those are bees. Ah you're right, it is a bit weird.

The flintlock's fire is kind of janky, other than that it looks great.

But what's that thing below them? Is it just mashup of them, fast forwarded just like in Abe's Oddysee?

I think it's a cactus.

I think it's a dead Scrab.

Oh, right! Now when you mentioned it, yes, that looks like dead Scrab. Because NnT uses ragdoll physics for dead bodies, and that... thing.. looks like fallen Scrab.

This game has bees?

I'm not going to buy it now!

ftfy

Anyone else notice the bats in the foreground right infront of the camera? I thought they were black breaks in the textures till I saw the definition. It's looking awesome!

I hope some of the original sounds are still in for the scrabs.

Yeah! I didn't notice the bat on first sight but when I started with my usual "staring at new Oddworld picture for 10 minutes", I noticed it. Also, this is probably the most recent video with Scrabs, and it has a lot of Scrab sounds in it.

None of it probably sounds like the original, but I am still curious how will the "Scrab fight" sound. Because it was kind of a funny noise in the original.

I don't like hairless mudokons...

I think it's a nice visual contrast with the Native Mudokons.

But native mudokons don't have hair too... do they?

They do.

Oh sorry, thank you! but... why do they wear those masks? lol and I'm still wondering why scrubs don't have hair!

maybe they wear them to intimidate any newcomers, or maybe it represents some sort of hierarchy; those are probably guards.

I doubt it's hierarchy, It is more likely a representation of a tribe

We get a jumping Scrab this week :)

Are there any 'screens' in particular you would like to see in future comparisons?

The Sanctum entrances (at the end of the Nests) were always fan favourites.

Maybe one of Temple hub screens?

One of the employee lounges would be cool to see :)

Or if it has to be a scrabania themed, maybe where the slogs are near the entrance :)

I'd like to see the Temple Hubs :)

Wil/jaw_alex/whoever: You might want to fix the typo on the news post for this screenshot. I don't know what it is I'm meant to be treating lightly, but I suspect you meant 'tread'.

It's not dark enough!
