I Hope so, that was quite scary looking in the trailer back in the day! Isn't today the weekly comparison and gif day? :P

Is it the guardian angel/shrink?! :O

I gotta wake up in 5 hours time. I usually stay up till 3am just to see what shows up lol.

Scrabaniac 06-06-2014 07:29 AM

@jaw_alex You guys sure know how to spoil us :D I would LOVE to see how the Temples have evolved from '97, I can only image pure epicness.

Scrabaniac 06-06-2014 08:47 AM

Damn look at this temple! That lil mo'fucker looks naasty!
(Sorry for dbl post)

Since day one, there are two areas they've absolutely no questions asked 110% nailed and improve upon - Paramonia and the temples! Scrabania also looks superior to the way it did in the old game.

Great work JAW! Now the temples might end up being my favorite locales!

Holy Sock 06-06-2014 09:10 AM

Ain't lookin' too shabby, now.

MeechMunchie 06-06-2014 10:43 AM

Yeah, now I've got a similar layout to compare, it's easy to see how good these new assets are. I wonder how much of the difference in tone comes down to the simple resolution change - It's been observed by many that low-res graphics have a very crude, spooky quality.

But hey, Oddworld isn't a horror series. I've come to terms with that.

Holy Sock 06-06-2014 03:50 PM

Man... I'm starving for some GIF!!

V_O_T 06-06-2014 04:52 PM

Me to! I'm itching for a gif. It's like a drug addiction. I'm starting to see crab cakes in my patisserie. They're hiding next to the salted caramel tarts :/ I swear.

There's something wrong with you people.

So much irony I had a heart palpitation.


Looks great, I'm starting to sound like a broken record now. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it done, Paramonia looks gorgeous, reh teh teh.

AvengingGibbons 06-07-2014 12:57 AM

I just wanted to make this because I saw how beautiful the newer iterations are compared to the stuff we saw last year. Absolutely stunning, well done JAW :)

It actually isn't the right green.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Job McYossie 06-07-2014 01:17 AM

I can't help but notice now that the mudo statues there have hump backs.

Varrok 06-07-2014 01:20 AM

If you remained in that pose for at least couple hundred years, you'd have hump back too.

Nepsotic 06-07-2014 01:31 AM

They were probably only like that for a couple of seconds but then the wind changed.

AvengingGibbons 06-07-2014 02:11 AM

You all noticed the tufts on the rope that stretches across to Scrabanian nests? Finesse :)

Scrabaniac 06-07-2014 02:31 AM

I was gonna mention that earlier actually! The detail in this game is amazing, and it isnt even released yet :)

Shit. The turquoise actually is more spooky.

I think it's supposed to be dawn when Abe gets there, though, so moonlight wouldn't make much sense.

Not to toot my own horn, but I do like this palette more.

V_O_T 06-07-2014 07:37 AM

Anyone else think the paramites look small? In the original they seemed a bit bulkier and more fierce looking. What do you guys think when you see the latest tease?

Oziah 06-07-2014 08:16 AM

I noticed they were smaller, yeah.

I'd imagine it's because in NnT they act even more like the pack animals they are supposed to be (hence the mad rush of them chasing Abe in the GDC trailer).

So I think that whilst they're smaller, there are more of them, or they're quicker or something like that.

Probably makes them differ from the Scrabs more :)

Holy Sock 06-07-2014 08:23 AM

I think Abe's just a big bigger.

I mean it doesn't really look that small here.

as opposed to this.

SoulStorm64 06-07-2014 08:39 AM


The heads on the new statues are looking down too far! It's not like the original and that glow! I mean c'mon guys! I know that the old fmvs were made from really old 3d program with a inferior lighting system compared to today's engines but c'mon!!!! You are ruining it JAW!!!!!

(Sarcasm over the roof)

Good point. They could also be adding younger and older paramites too, which would be amazingly awesome to show off the little ones near the entrance and the bigger ones as guards in the final paramite trail. Like in the picture you posted, that one seems much bigger in size to the latest tease one in that other area.

JennyGenesis 06-08-2014 12:02 AM

I think the size thing may partly be due to where the actual camera is pointing, in the screenshot of the Paramonia nests, the camera is very close to Abe, which may make the Paramite appear larger.

Scrabaniac 06-09-2014 04:38 AM

Maybe we could have a gif to get an idea? Jaw_Alex *Hint Hint*.. ;)

Kinto 06-09-2014 10:47 PM

Long time lurker here. Got a quick question. Being that New n Tasty is releasing on the PS4 first, if I were to purchase the game on roommates PS4, would I be able to download it onto my PS3 when it's released for the PS3?

Phylum 06-09-2014 11:00 PM

I believe it's PSN cross-platform, which would mean you could download it from the relevant PSN account.

Or whatever it's called these days.

e: SEN account.
