Poly count too low too different from the original Scrabania too orange free-fire zone too blue Abe too purple rope not ropey enough can't find my favourite granny porn site no ferns in original Paramonia.

I think that just about covers it.

No but seriously, fucking awesome.

Jordan 10-31-2013 09:59 AM

These screenshots are incred! Can't wait to play it.

Slog Bait 10-31-2013 10:08 AM

So excited

Crashpunk 10-31-2013 10:31 AM

These screenshots have make my whole week. Each and everyone one of them are gorgeous.

Varrok 10-31-2013 11:21 AM

They look promising

Crashpunk 10-31-2013 11:34 AM

Hmm. What's this all about?

We've added a new type of gameplay that works with your Move/Wii balance board/gyro in your Vita. Abe wobbles on very thin platforms like ropes, pipes, fences, linen lines and strings of sausages, and you have to gesture wildly in the opposite direction to regain balance. For PC/Mac, you have to twiddle with the volume dial on your speakers.

Happy Halloween.

I know right, they added a new creature. Some kind of bird. Any info on this Wil? :p

Yeah it's actually a larval Clakker. ;)

Phylum 10-31-2013 02:48 PM

I think the thing bugging me about the eyes right now is that they're completely illuminated but not at all glow-y.

That paramonia shot is fantastic. Even more keen for this now.

The image scrabaniac posted of Abe walking in the cave looks really nice. I'm curious to know if it'll be part of a cutscene or a little intro to when you enter another section of the level?
It looks like it may be a cutscene of Abe entering the Paramonian temple.. They have announced that NEW cutscenes will be featured! Just like this bad boy right here:

13897

I reckon this is an extended cutscene of Abe falling into the Stockyards Escape :)

In the screenshot with the two mudokon statues, presumably the camera will be mostly fixed on a certain viewpoint and the player walks towards the entrance. The old portal effect just won't work in a 3D game, although a blinding shining light may be a bit strange to say the least.

Scrabaniac 11-01-2013 06:03 AM

I think that's a cutscene, if I remember correctly from the original

Bullet Magnet 11-01-2013 06:12 AM

Get those screenshots out as wallpapers, dammit!

Varrok 11-01-2013 06:18 AM

At least stop giving screenshots in crappy, compressed JPGs.

I agree! The following ones are great wallpaper material:

I don't like that 'sunset' scrabania shot. The colours (pink to yellow) look too cliché, and it doesn't give that baking hot, lifeless feel that original scrabania has. It's too smooth, too sweet.

The sky looks quite flat, and very PS1 quality.

To me, it doesn't feel like the environments are as real / alive as in the original and I think it's partly because there's so much empty space, like in that 'sunset' type scrabania image.

Slog Bait 11-01-2013 10:54 AM

There's the nitpicking we were looking for

STM 11-01-2013 11:06 AM

There's the pot, but where's the kettle?

Bullet Magnet 11-01-2013 11:13 AM

the one I like most is this: http://www.oddworld.com/wp-content/u...013_scrab3.jpg The Scrabanian Temple was always my favourite, and the detail and palette here is exquisite.

Yeah, that one's pretty awesome.

Varrok 11-01-2013 12:20 PM

Does the remake use grid system? I'm pretty sure it has been established but I'm not proud of my short-term memory

Nepsotic 11-01-2013 01:35 PM

I agree with Avenging about the Scrabania shot.

E: I've decided I don't care, because I've realised I won't be able to actually play the game.

Slog Bait 11-01-2013 01:40 PM

Maybe not as soon as it's released, but I'm sure you'll get to play it somewhere down the line :0

Crashpunk 11-01-2013 04:02 PM

I'm doing everything in my power to promote this game; so I made a video with me giving an in-depth look into the screenshots (Perhaps a bit too much in-depth.) and I had nothing but positive things to say. Honestly, I can't see not a single thing wrong with the shots. Anyway here it is.



Think what you will. At least OWI liked it.

MeechMunchie 11-01-2013 06:38 PM

But it's the "n" he didn't pronounce...

And apparently CP "forgot" about the one with the horrible portal effect. I see what you're playing at, man.

Just found this at the top of the 'support' page on their website, fairly sure it's not been released with the rest of them? Looks promising.

Really guys? Did you need to bring that up?

I generally did forget that screenshot. I looked at the website after I recorded and saw another one. And yeah I agree with most people. I'm not keen on the Portal effect either.

E: Looks like I also forget the one on the support page as well. :)

MeechMunchie 11-02-2013 02:36 AM

I didn't bring it up. I'm on your side, knocking STM down a peg.

Besides, Monsaic is just a garbled portmentau of Mosaic and Monastic anyway.

You can't knock my pegs down, man. My pegs are fixed deep in their little holes.

I'm sure I could push them in deeper with my hammer.

pupbenny 11-02-2013 07:29 AM

I imaged the 3D bird portal would look pretty much like this.

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps0aba04aa.png
2D, Side On View on the left and a 3D, Face On View on the right.

Obviously slightly more detailed.

Varrok 11-02-2013 08:03 AM

We can't even see them fully from the front in-game, even in this 2,5 perspective. So why even bother changing it so it looks good from the front?

Slog Bait 11-02-2013 08:23 AM

I'm pretty sure someone drew that exact same thing last time we were complaining about the portal and what it should look like.
