True, the music is definitely inspired by Oddworld music, probably the intro for Oddysee, but the lyrics are completely unrelated.

Also I'm starting to fear there will be no predownload

I was talking about the trailer music, the credits music is still horrible.

Yeah :/

Varrok 02-23-2015 08:17 PM

Soo scary you'll wait 18 years and a day for a remake instead of 18 years, I really sympathise

STM 02-23-2015 09:47 PM

Oh no we'll have to download it on the same day it comes out!!

Phylum 02-23-2015 10:34 PM

Speaking of which, any word on the size so that I know how long it will take to download on my shit Aussie internet?

Dynamithix 02-23-2015 10:57 PM

Oh yeah this is coming out tomorrow. Just pre-ordered it!

Xavier 02-23-2015 11:16 PM

The ps4 version was 5 gigs at launch. +about 1 for alf a month later. Its up to about 9 gigs now cuz of updates. So Itll probably be a little less.

Job McYossie 02-24-2015 12:28 AM

The worst part is if I see wariopunk playing it I can right click his name and press "launch game" but nothing happens...

Shade667 02-24-2015 01:45 AM

Sam got it early as well. He uploaded part of his playthrough to youtube.

Must have been written before Alf’s Escape was announced as launch-day DLC?

e: my laptop is as excited as me

Will we get it early cuz we're in the future?

abe is now! 02-24-2015 10:06 AM

Which are New N Tasty minimum requirements?

Question for Wil, since it's also being asked on the Steam forums, will we be able to pre-load the game at all?

There's no pre-load.

NnT with Alf's Escape occupies 7733 MiB of my hard drive.

No, release is simultaneous worldwide. Maybe there'll be some small discrepancy between Steam's and GOG's regional servers, I dunno.

Look just below the screenshot gallery.

Varrok 02-24-2015 11:29 AM

These reqs look kinda high for a Unity game. I still classify though.

Actually it looks like they’ve been revised since that blogpost: http://steamcommunity.com/games/3146...47962947290341

Varrok 02-24-2015 12:02 PM

They are... slightly higher now.

Crashpunk 02-24-2015 12:18 PM

For those interested in a little preview of the game.

Havoc 02-24-2015 12:20 PM

No they aren't? Highest recommended card is a GTX 560. That's nowhere near a high end card.

Varrok 02-24-2015 12:23 PM

What's wrong with that flying mine at the beginning?

EDIT:
@Havoc, compare it with Wasteland's 2 reqs. Wasteland 2 is also a fairly new Unity game.

Manco 02-24-2015 12:33 PM

Do you mean slightly higher than the average Unity game or slightly higher than the previous NnT specs?

Phylum 02-24-2015 12:41 PM

The minimum requirements are still really low, though.

Holy Sock 02-24-2015 12:41 PM

Aw man, can you really not turn off the dirty camera filter or adjust bloom levels?

I wish I could have done that in the Hobbit films.

Sorry.

Think its a way of pushing newer players forward. You go from a cutscene where ur running for ur life and then itd be weird if nothing was chasing you. Dont know why it doenst have a hitbox though, there are a few mines in the game with no hitbox.

The latter. Now my PC is on the edge of minimal reqs.

Yeah, I meant why it didn't kill the player. It hardly pushes players forward.

Shade667 02-24-2015 10:24 PM

I meant, that people see it coming and they are forced to run forward, unless u know it doesnt kill u.

Also, shoutouts to those sligs that spawn the moment u jump up the ledge. There are other sligs that spawn out of thin air at various points in the game :P

SoulStorm64 02-24-2015 10:25 PM

Hooray for waiting until noon for the game to unlock

Varrok 02-24-2015 10:27 PM

Or maybe they don't get killed and start to think that mines are not harmful.

Shade667 02-25-2015 12:35 AM

So starwin just informed me that the load times are quicker on pc, which is unfortunate.

That's not unfortunate, faster load times are a good thing for the vast majority of players.

Not hooray for waiting until 6pm! The one day I actually have plans in the evening. Gotta feel sorry for all the Australians, too.

Phylum 02-25-2015 01:07 AM

We just get to download it overnight. It's no huge shortcoming.

Xavier 02-25-2015 01:18 AM

I just had a look at the reviews of the pc version that are popping all over the net. Everybody seems to like it so much it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

My fanboy blindness prevented me from considering this contingency. I'm now lost. Wednesday was supposed to be Oddworld day! Not disgusting Thursday. Oh well!

It's good to hear people are digging it.

Gonna be a hassle for us though. Either we make entirely new categories for PC (bringing it from 9 - 18) or we figure out the load times and subtract.

Wish they made an option to have console load times. Saves us the hassle.

Xavier 02-25-2015 04:00 AM

Or you can take the times the game records for you?

You can, but the current times are RTA. And the in game timers also inaccurate. Not only does the leaderboard times not count milliseconds, they only show your best. Its okay for the any% and 100% categories, but we have a good ending category where you only save 50% of mudokons. Im going to start routing that category in March. We could use the save file times, but they dont show seconds, only hour and minutes.

Also ive had times where the ingame leaderboards just flat out refused to update. Theyre cool for people who like running levels individually, but theyre not great for full runs. And if we ever wanted to submit them to SDA wed have to use SDA timing,which is RTA.

Its okay for me though. Im not gonna be the one to figure it out. Or we could just split the categories, but if we do that then wed have to make more if the other versions have load time differences

..Had to log in just to say this.. holy shit are you acting like a privileged spoiled baby right now or what with that last sentence. "Console loading times", seriously?

Be happy theyve added leaderboards and all the stuff in the original PS release for speedrunners, Ive seen the way you act in other threads on the forums when it comes to acting like a speedrunner who thinks he should have the game 200% tailored to fit his speedrunning needs, SOLELY because you play the game ultra competitively - and it makes me mad :(
