Sorry if this has been clarified elsewhere but I really don't want to skim all 26 pages of the thread. Do we know if the game will use the same 2.5D format of New'n'Tasty or is it something different? I'm really hoping to see a 3D Abe game in the near future :X
Also, is it a slightly modified adaptation of the original game a la N'n'T or a new game entirely? From the announcement I got the impression that this would be a sort of expanded edition to the original game which is something I'm personally really looking forward to seeing.

In a nutshell, SoulStorm will probably be like NnT (and slightly darker).

Vlam's got no evidence to back that up by the way. Just putting that out there.

Vlam 05-14-2016 08:47 AM

Auriel, you should read the 26 pages. STM is trolling.

STM 05-14-2016 09:36 AM

No I'm not, Auriel. We literally know nothing about the game that isn't on the Soulstorm website. Everything else is conjecture and supposition.

So, here's what I think: y'all should CALM THE FUCK DOWN. This is a press release. A press release that is specifically responding to the criticisms of the previous game. A very vaguely worded press release that is filling all of your heads with ideas of what the game is going to be like. It doesn't actually say that Abe is leading all 300 muds across the desert, although that's what many of you have assumed. It doesn't say that it's a new game set in between AO and AE, but there's many people suggesting that too.

Here's what I interpretted the press release to mean: It's going to be AE but slightly less cartoony. Nothing more, nothing less.

All of you are just asking to be disappointed when the game comes out and it's not the wonderous fantabulousness you're imagining. Jeez, do Oddworld fans never fucking learn?






If yes, they should harden the fuck up.

I'm an authority now?

It all depends on what you mean by "like New n Tasty". I seem to remember a recent interview in which Lanning suggested the gameplay would be like NnT (which I presume means no grid and no flipscreen), but as far as tone, who knows?

I've cited you in every uni assignment I've ever written.

I voted for you in the presidental elections. Unfortunately, some other guy won.

My post was very clearly my own opinion and based on nothing more than speculation.

And based on experience. Some opinions are better than other. Don't be so modest.

Nepsotic 05-17-2016 12:35 AM

My opinion is the best.

STM 05-17-2016 09:59 AM

Nepsotic you're not even supposed to be here how can you have an opinion?

Nepsotic 05-17-2016 01:12 PM

At least I left for a bit, which was my plan. You made a leaving blog then didn't even fuck off! The cheek!

STM 05-18-2016 12:06 AM

I did for like, four days. I didn't expect go suddenly have so much free time at work. Any way glad you're back d00d.
