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.

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?

So animals are more inclined to agitate them thus releasing their spores around the surrounding area and onto the animal.

Varrok 05-20-2014 02:32 PM

Do animals agitate things just because they glow?

STM 05-20-2014 02:58 PM

The luciferin attracts flies and such. You know how flies get attracted to street lamps and stuff, same principle. :)

Varrok 05-20-2014 03:10 PM

Are there flies in Oddworld Universe? (legit question)

Crashpunk 05-20-2014 04:10 PM

Yeah. The Fireflies. Or do you mean other types of flies?

You do know that glowing mushrooms exist on our planet too, right?

You can actually buy the spoors on Amazon and grow them for yourself! First thing I'm gonna do after I land in the US.

Phylum 05-20-2014 06:49 PM

Everything on this page is a lie. They have a man come past and paint them in radium.

Samtastic 05-21-2014 02:41 AM

Sony's Press event is at 11am GMT on the 9th June so I'm sure Sony will announce something there!

Nepsotic 05-21-2014 03:08 AM

What do Sony know about mushrooms?

Pirfsich 05-21-2014 04:30 AM

Everything, Nep.

STM 05-21-2014 08:13 AM

Not e-fucking-nough, is what I'd say. I want to know the total number of in game mushrooms and what their every purpose is.

Scrabaniac 05-21-2014 08:29 AM

I don't know why, but i find that the mushrooms are very Avatar-esque, It's not a negative thing, just saying is all

It makes it easier to shoot RuptureFarms escapees. Their corpses provide nutrients for the fungus.

That second bit is brilliant; it should be canon.

MeechMunchie 05-21-2014 02:16 PM

The idea that Glukkon industry is so ancient that organisms have evolved to exploit it is pretty cool. It's peppered moths all over again.

Nepsotic 05-21-2014 02:21 PM

That brings back memories of old biology exams.

Slog Bait 05-21-2014 11:53 PM

Biology is so great
