This is fantastic! But wait, is Munch's Oddysee HD coming to PSN? I could have sworn it was just PC and Xbox? I hope it is!

His face looks a bit droopier and less expressive.

It's still an big improvement over the old model overall though. The ponytail has a texture now!

Hey, where's the OWI necklace?

I think the OWI Necklace was just a feature they used on covers and promos. He never had it in-game.

And his face does look a bit depressed. They could of made him happy :D

No, he hasn't quite got there yet.

Not that he's human enough anyway.

I'm pretty sure BM was joking. All the same, I don't think a non-human creature is capable of attaining uncanny valley.

What is this then? If not a promo, I mean.

Considering OWI is now Oddmobb and their logo has changed, perhaps Abe needs a new necklace.

The neckless could of just to make people know Abe is part of the Oddworld series or just a little logo cameo, simular to Diddy Kong's Hat has the Nintendo logo on it.

Seriously I don't know. Go ask Max, i'm sure he'll know the real reason :P

I thought that OddMobb was the name for there soical site they planned? Oddworld Inhabitants is still there name and logo?

Sexy.

Has it been stated anywhere that this actually is an in-game model rather than a one-off promotional image?

I would hope a one-off promotional image would look somewhat better than that.

Alf?

Yes, that's the Abe you'll be seeing in Munch's Oddysee HD. He'll look even better in Abe HD!

Apart from the fact that he looks a little too glossy (must be the floor wax), Abe is looking good.

Now that's HD.

The top of his head looks a lot darker than I remember.

That gloss really just puts me in mind of glossy fish scales, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

That's the actual in game model? Why JAW/OWI, bless your hearts. I'm pumped for this.

Hurray! he's happy ^_^

I see the Scrab is less purple this time.

Paramite looks better IMO. Scrab definitely needs some improvement.

The Paramite is looking sweet. I agree that the Scrab needs work, it looks kind of in between Munch's Oddysee and the HD quality we've seen with other things.

That's probably because the Scrab has two key differences to the other characters we've seen so far:

1. It has much, much more detail in its body structure, i.e. lots of muscles and crevices in its torso and legs, and
2. It has much less detail in its textures; it's pretty much just two colours, with no patterns or anything.

As a result, it's much harder to trick the eye into thinking it's super-hi-res-CG-quality, compared to high-textured Abe and the low-detail Paramite.

Paramite is rather perverted.

Also bear in mind a) they're still working with a hastily-constructed, 10-year-old engine, and b) both Scrabs and Paramites appear in large numbers, which limits how detailed each can be.

It would be nice to see the Scrabs and Paramites appear in more than 1 level each.

Well, considering the engine restraints, they both look pretty damned good. :)

They did, but wernt you dissapointed with them onyl appearing in 1 level each?

EDIT: DOUBLE POST ACCIDENT.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't they overhauling the game engine in order to make the HD update feasible at all?
