I think many casual oddworld fans will love an Abe HD remake. I can't believe the number of request I've seen for it when browsing on other sites/forums.

Some High res images are pictures of the games in beta. (eg Paramite stockyards)

I know i would, even though AO and AE is already pretty impressive to this day. It would be awesome if they make new content (New levels and designs)

Yeah, a HD revamp would be lush. The 2.5 thing seems a bit pointless. Yeah the detail would be more nice but the games are beautiful as they are anyway. If we are planning on a 2.5 remake you can count me in on the project in a years time when i've learned how use 3D programs. :)

i have no idea how to use programs like that.
EDIT: fucking hell

Please, cut the spam.

If you have nothing interesting/useful to say, just don't say anything.

@ Uncle_Bens

The second screenshot does not exist in the game!!!

its a beta, i think

It's photoshop, I think.

It's just an edited image, I know.

Someone told me it was a never release version of the game (I don't rememebr who.. Max?). I'm sure also the other two screenshots come from that version.

then its a beta

I imagine the state of the code for these old games is so bad they would have to make massive changes to rewrite the engine, so anyone who thinks its a case of changing a few sprites will be massively mistaken ;)

E.g sprites use a byte for the width and height, this limits the max w/h to 255 which is too low, which means update format, update code, rebuild all resources and editors etc.

Those screens are 640*480, though. The sprites just seem to have a lot more colour.

So is there any chance that we will see the source code to the game? Are the developers willing to release it?

Considering the fact it's still selling, no.

blue muds and HD

oh and the fee co beta areas i saw

Huh? That dosen't look HD to me, the xtractor muds look extremely close to the final colour versions too?

Wow, you can see Abes back and leg muscles in that pic ha ha.

hm this is from a beta version as i can see http://plataforma.meristation.com/EP...SSAE0025pe.jpg

Woah, this is a nice catch - Is this a sort of Elum Spawner thing? :)

Edit:
Sorry, Nate, I thought it was one of the less obvious things :P

I saw that elum thing in some guys video. He said it was an elum trap.

why doesnt it exist in my ao nor other,could you pls give me the link ? :3

Because it was a stupid idea and they decided to replace it with the honey.

Jeez, can't you guys just bloody well search the forums for these answers?

so what did you have to do to free elum?

We don't know, seeing as we have never played any version of the game with this included.

We don't know because that version of the game was never released publically.

I would really like to take a look at the old OWI computer's just to see some unreleased goodies. If these were going to be the game's graphics (I doubt it) and not just one-off promotions, that'd be AWESOME!

Here's something interesting, you just never know what will turn up.

The ones from the mine are from the AE demo for sure. Dunno about the others though.. guess they could always be fake too.
