I want to see two Scrabs fight in glorious 2.5D!

OddYouko 05-14-2014 07:15 PM

As everyone else has also said; The Stockyards. :p
After I saw an image for the Stockyards, I'm even more eager to see it in actual gameplay!

Scrabania as well.
I'm itching to hear it's music; it was a second favorite of mine, after the Stockyards.

And duh, Elum of course~

the added tid bits of newish/repolished cutscenes.

This is another thing I'm interesting in seeing.

I wanna see how they've done that monsaic lines screen where you use shrkul after getting Scabania and Paramonia powers.

And like JennyGenesis says, I want to see a full-game side by side comparison too.

Most importantly, I want the game to be overwhelmingly received and for Oddworld Inhabitants + JAW to be catapulted back into the real business where loads of money can be made and reinvested to make more Oddworld games from the ground up with the original designers at the helm with Lorne and Stewart as joint directors.

I'm already so impressed by just the footage of the game that my fave Abe game Abe's Exoddus remake is my number one craving right now. I think I enjoy following the progress of game developing more than actually playing the games.

Just inserting crashpunks video here, but what I would like to see is this video done again, but with the entire game!


I would actually love to see that too.

JennyGenesis 05-15-2014 08:30 AM

I'm also excited to see the speed runners have a crack at this, especially with that achievement to beat the best time.

Consider it a future video. :)

JennyGenesis 05-16-2014 08:12 AM

I know that this of course will never be inserted into the game, bit just imagine if we had the feature they implemented into Halo Anniversary, where by pressing the button you could change the graphics to the old game.

Crashpunk 05-16-2014 08:29 AM

Maybe it would be a cool idea to make a bundle with the two on Steam? or perhaps offer a discount to AO if you buy NnT?

MeechMunchie 05-16-2014 06:04 PM

I'd appreciate vice versa, personally!

A bundle with the two of them would indeed be very neat. :)

Nepsotic 05-18-2014 05:29 AM

Why would people want the old one, though? Sure, fans like us would, but fans like us already own it.

That's not the way to look at it. The real question is: if they make a pack with both of them that is only a couple of bucks more than NnT on it's own, how many people will choose the pack instead of only NnT?

Steam is known for being a platform where people buy tons of games they will never play, just for the sake of owning them.

JennyGenesis 05-18-2014 08:20 AM

Or simply just to see how new n tasty compares to ao.

People might agree with this statement if they were one of those people who are like "The remakes/new ones are always better, the old ones aren't worth playing". I'm hoping new fans will be more than happy to try the older games too.

Nepsotic 05-18-2014 09:22 AM

Remakes in games ARE usually better. I think this one may even be, but of course I won't admit it. It's a possibility.

paramiteabe 05-18-2014 03:47 PM

I would like to see how they achieved jumping through wells. That was one of my fav things about the game. Also all the environments and movies.

Scrabaniac 05-19-2014 02:06 PM

I thought this was the most appropriate threat to put this in.. Someone's saying New 'n' Tasty will SUCK?!?! I'll let you read for yourselves, but i for one have faith that JAW have recreated a masterpiece. Is it serious or not? I'm not fantastic with sarcasm..

Isn't El Dango a member of OWF?

Most of the “reasons” listed are parodies of posts made in this forum, and he ends his post with “(I love you, JAW, you've done a brilliant job!)”. Pretty sure it’s not a serious post.

STM 05-19-2014 02:54 PM

Holy shit, that is a fucking amazing article.

Varrok 05-19-2014 03:14 PM

Checkpoint system is not the same as quicksave.

MeechMunchie 05-19-2014 05:42 PM

Seriously though, fuck mushrooms.

Xavier 05-20-2014 08:29 AM

Cool article, the more "positive" stuff about the NnT on the web the better.

El Dango AGAIN 05-20-2014 08:55 AM

Hot damn you guys, never expected anyone here to pick up on it, haha. Just to clarify, this isn't meant to be mean spirited towards any of you, it's just an homage to this, which is one of my favourite parody articles, and some of the discussion here made for good inspiration.

I expected this to gather the interest of Dtoiders more so than Oddworld fans (which is why I didn't post it here), but I guess using the Oddworld name guarantees the opposite. In any case, I'm glad some people here enjoyed it!

Pirfsich 05-20-2014 10:47 AM

"It's bad because it's different" says it all.

Your opinion, I "dont share" it.

Nepsotic 05-20-2014 11:25 AM

Are you alright?

STM 05-20-2014 12:12 PM

Dango, pretty sure you summed up about 95% of the complaining down on OWF any way so it's totally relevant and rather funny.

It made us laugh, anyway.

We spent today adding more mushrooms just for you.

Nepsotic 05-20-2014 01:13 PM

I like mushrooms.

Varrok 05-20-2014 01:16 PM

Why do they glow? From the biological point of view. What's the purpose of this mechanism that does that?
