We wanted people to be able to play it immediately. :)



Maybe you'll find out more about Alf than you thought in Alf's Escape...

I thought you might say that. You're such a cock tease. D:

Did you guys spot the sign with a huge "Alf's Brew" written on it?

Did Alf hold some kind of tavern inside RuptureFarms?

In trailer description was written that there will be some suprises,so may be there will be some cutscene that will explain the Alf's story.

No cut-scenes.

Mainly just hinting at one part of the trailer that got cut at the last minute to leave a nice surprise in there for players who play the DLC.

One for the fans, anyway.

Havoc 08-12-2014 04:13 AM

So as far as story narrative goes, where does this fit in the timeline? During or after Nnt?

El Dango AGAIN 08-12-2014 04:28 AM

If Alf's Escape is the kind of DLC we can expect from future Oddworld games, I'll be very happy. Not a big fan of the pre-order costume thing (costumes should always be an unlockable bonus within the game itself), but this is awesome! Additional gameplay that stands alone from the main game is the way all DLC should be done.

It takes place at an indeterminate point during Abe's return to RuptureFarms.

I can't get over how gorgeous it looks. Playing the game for my 4th time in a row and (while my controller charges) I sit closer to the tv and pick up neat new details in every bit of scenery.

The screens look fantastic, will there be in game dialogue with Abe and alf? Apart from the usual hellos and follow me's?

But on a seriouse note, have you added Easter eggs in the game as a whole? I'm not sure if we've found them yet tbh :( I.e the elusive unique slig. Plz let is know if there are more but don't spoil the search ;P

Xavier 08-12-2014 05:57 AM

The screens look amazing Alex, thanks for sharing.

That's what makes the most sense, thanks for confirming this. :)

Scrabaniac 08-12-2014 06:34 AM

looks incredible. As there are no cutscenes, will there be dialogue during gameplay then?

Connell 08-12-2014 06:38 AM

Is it me or does one of those screenshots depict a new area of the Stockyards? If so I am very happy.

Dynamithix 08-12-2014 06:51 AM

Looks fantastic, now just bring the game to other platforms too!

It's never coming to other platforms!

Sorry, Dynamithix.

We have an exclusivity deal with the Playstation 4 and the Atari ST for the next 4000 years. Magnavox Odyssey should follow (for obvious reasons.)

They give us this information and no one listens. Sometimes I think JAW's presence here is wasted.

Crashpunk 08-12-2014 08:18 AM

It's like that everywhere. Half of the comments on my videos are "WHEN IT COMING TO [insert system name]"

People need to learn how to Google something...

Stop making up retarded stuff and making it seem like Alex/JAW said it...

Holy Sock 08-12-2014 09:54 AM

We did. Just a silly joke, Havoc.

STM 08-12-2014 03:17 PM

Yeah calm down Precious.

Bullet Magnet 08-12-2014 10:00 PM

Two questions:

1. Is it accessible only through the main menu, or is there a new door somewhere in the main game?

2. Will Alf's escape be made available on the other platforms that NnT will be released on?

Phylum 08-13-2014 01:14 AM

It's separate. Selectable from Chapter Select.

It's a menu thing.

Varrok 08-13-2014 01:45 AM

Can you accomplish your DLC goal by just straight-up killing Alf?

Yes.

Michael 08-13-2014 01:29 PM

So I caved and bought a PS4 :D Abe's Oddysee was my first game on PSOne in '97, and my first game on PS4 17 years later is... Abe's Oddysee! That's some real progress there :p

Seriously, the game was amazing, an incredibly authentic recreation of the original. Very much looking forward to Alf's Escape, the trailer looks awesome!

It's a menu thing.

I think BM's question was whether it was only available through the menu, or if it was also accessible through the doorway, as was their original plan. I had wondered the same thing.

JennyGenesis 08-14-2014 01:52 AM

Do you mean the doorway in the secret area of the Zulag 4 hub? Personally I think that putting it there would be ridiculous, I actually had to end up looking on this forum to find that secret area!

Slog Bait 08-14-2014 02:18 AM

Sounds like the perfect place to me

Holy Sock 08-14-2014 02:24 AM

If Alf's Escape is as difficult as they've said then it's probably best to leave it out of the main game.

OWI_Alex 08-14-2014 03:14 AM

Xavier played through Alf's Escape today. :)

Slog Bait 08-14-2014 03:18 AM

PFFF he totally sent you to brag for him, didn't he

Arrrrrgh! I haven't even played the rest of the game, yet! Hope he enjoyed it!

On a side note I now want to see a livestream of Xavier and OANST playing co-op.

JennyGenesis 08-14-2014 04:19 AM

I don't...

Varrok 08-14-2014 04:31 AM

Me neither

Slog Bait 08-14-2014 04:36 AM

Do Xavier and OANST ever even talk to each other

Holy Sock 08-14-2014 04:39 AM

You all suck. Especially Varrok.

JennyGenesis 08-14-2014 04:46 AM

I wouldn't mind seeing a live stream of Xavier.

Phylum 08-14-2014 04:50 AM

Aren't you straight now?

JennyGenesis 08-14-2014 04:56 AM

I didn't mean like that!

Holy Sock 08-14-2014 05:03 AM

So did Xavier play this at Gamescon? EDIT: Reread previous posts. Yes is the answer.

STM 08-14-2014 05:21 AM

I just wanna see OANST playing NnT full stop.

And I loved it :)

Here is what you should know:
- The new content is about the size of Zulag 4.
- You explore a brand new place in RF.
- It’s realy hard, I finished the original game on hard without issues and I struggled in some places of Alf's Escape on normal.
- A lot of the puzzles require very good timing.
- You will love the new saws. :D
- You will meet someone new we only heard about but never saw.
- Alex had a lot of fun watching me fail over and over.

If you have questions about it shoot ;)

Holy Sock 08-14-2014 05:33 AM

I initially thought we might be seeing the Guardian Angel pop up in Alf's Escape but then I remembered Wil's quote in that the model was too complicated for a simple cameo... and we *did* see it in the Guardian Angel trailer so I guess that rules that out.....

Hmmm, Lady Margaret perhaps? Crig the Slig? I dunno....
