So, if I understand correctly: we aren't exactly talking about "new levels" (only extended).

I don't think it'll be as simple as new levels. I imagine it'll be quite vast changes to the whole game. But that's speculation.

Quality over quantity.

I mean, if we were talking about the "reimagining" of MO, I will say "of course". On the other hand, AE... I remain skeptical.

I suspect the game will be broadly similar to the original in terms of what locations are seen, how the game plays (based on NnT), maybe even down to the structure of most puzzles. I think the difference will be a more fleshed-out story with a slower opening (the Weirdos might very well be written out or appear later in the story) and more attention paid to the themes of addiction and desecration.

Judging from the announcement, the biggest changes will be in tone, shifting towards a more self-serious and darker tone closer to AO.

Yes, Manco, so we're talking about a "remake" (like NnT) instead of a "reimagining".

I hope there isn't a rep-limit, because at this rate I'll be all out. :fuzcool:

The locations visited can be broadly the same, but if the story and tone has significant changes it would be a very different game. Then it would depend on how much of the minute-to-minute gameplay the carry over.

But how?

Depends on your definition... how much would have to be different for you to consider it to have crossed the line into a "re-imagining"?

Little late there, but yes they are pretty cool prints and shirts.

I hope more merch comes. I'd love a life size slig mask replica. Or even mounted skeletons of oddworld creatures.

Actually, the oddworld pendant as a necklace would be pretty sweet. But a really high quality one made by Cartier or Bvlgari or something.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. THIS. I NEED THIS.

It has to come with LED's and sound, as well as optional models (the visor variant and gas-mask variant).

You're all overly excited about a remake (like New 'n' Tasty, which isn't a carbon copy of AO, by the way).

It's not. It improved some things and it fucked up some things. Every remake does (besides Resident Evil).

I think you all understand my point. Even the Manco wasn't able to answer my question.

Lol anything short of "this game will be bullshit" counts as "overly excited" to Vlam

I'm waiting till I see it before I make a judgement. Like before mentioned, all we know are buzzwords, concepts and some rendering which most likely aren't indicative of what Abe will look like when we're finally playing.

I'm happy there's a new game in the works.

I've been searching new elements they could add to the game (except Mudombies):

Molluck is dead?

Missing, presumed dead. But actually not.

I guess now Alf can't say that he drank his first brew in Necrum desert.

Maybe he's just a filthy alcoholic liar.

All info we've gathered from Dear Alfs confirmed false

Mollock's trial finally?

What do you think the chances are of "Sligstorm" (as in the fabled albino slig game) being released as DLC to the new game?

I don't understand your question.

Sorry I meant Sligstorm, my phone autocorrected to Soulstorm. Shows how much I've been using that word recently, I've edited my original post to avoid confusion.

Ah, now I understand. My answer: what will be the point of playing a recolored slig?

We talked about it: www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=22141

Because it'll most likely be a new and intriguing way of playing the game?

You've ALREADY played SligStorm (except the regular slig isn't albino).

Well, some people still play for the story you know...

I'm just saying: it's understandable why Lanning hasn't released Sligstorm as a game (not a fangame).

It wouldn't really make sense to launch as a standalone. Wasn't the original intention to release it as a bonus disc in an Oddysee / Exoddus double pack that never came to fruition? You could argue that you've already played Alf's Escape because you've already played as Abe in N'n'T by your point Vlam.

It starts to get gimmicky when you play as a slig for too long. You can do a lot more with Abe (and still play as a slig). Moreover, he was supposed to escape from RuptureFarms...

I know what you might say: let's do a "slig+". But: 1. He is supposed to be "weak". 2. It's too much work for OWI (only for a DLC).

So, are you saying Abe is supposed to be strong?

He can blow people out with just his mind.

He's headstrong. I don't see the problem, you're not looking at it very creatively, Vlam.

A Novel/Graphic Novel would be a great way to tell a story like Sligstorm.
