If I understand correctly, Vlam is criticizing OWI for still being a small studio which is overambitious, because they're thinking they'll manage to make new Oddworld title without necessary 3D game design knowledge, and proposes that remaking MO after Soulstorm Brew would get JAW mentioned experience.

Also he criticizes Lorne for hating big companies though he wants OWI to become a big company (once again).

I guess.

If they absolutely HAVE to chop the game into parts to be able to make it and they just split the game into 2 episodes, 15$ each, that's fine with me. The original version was equally split on 2 discs as well, after all.

If it's really the only way to make the game possible, it's still better than no game at all. More than 2 episodes would be kind of ridiculous though...

I just threw up in my mouth a little. The whole idea just makes me cry. >_<

Aw what, ew... I hope that's a joke, but you guys have made it really hard to tell whether you're mockingly criticizing the game or genuinely freaking out.

It's a stupid idea, that's the point we're basically aiming to get across here.

Why?

Just like Exoddus on PS! 2 disks!


But really, if that were the case they'd need to release the next episode a week later because if the first one turns out bad, no one will be inclined to play the 2nd part.



Quick question, do we agree that the pace of the game should be slowed down? compared to the New N Tasty title.

I think you're missing the point of episodic releases...

V_O_T : if it is slowed down then that wouldn't be a faithful remake.

Isnt that how the walking dead games were released? To be honest, the only episodic games I have played are HL2+ eps and the wolf among us. So i'm going off that and talking out my ass.

Well yeah it would have to. Depending on how they want develop it. But what I was getting at was if you guys felt what I felt when I played. Did it feel too fast paced and if you liked it?

That's not how the walking dead games were released.

AE had amazing pacing.

V_O_T : not the same pace as AO. It plays more "smoothly" than AO, also you get the feeling that you can "rush" the levels who are longer.

Telltale episodes come out about once every 2 months.

That is like comparing a dwarf to a giant.

AE being in 2 discs is not a justification for the HD version having a multiple episode release.

Nope, but if AEHD is an episodic game it would be logical to make those episodes analogous to the 2 discs.

I wouldn't mind the game being split into two sections, that would be fine. As long as they both came out at the same time and counted as one package.

Then what would be the point of an episodic release?

Never said episodic. Not sure where you got that from.

"Should the AE remake be Nepsotic?"

Now that sounds like something I'd throw my money at

Same.

THIS

They shouldn't split it at all. It's literally pointless and adds nothing.

You embraced the dark side.;)

I think that the real question is : episodic or not, are you willing to pay more than NnT's price ?

If they go episodic I assume it wouldn't be with the intention of making it better or worse, but more to do with some business strategy given the budget and projected timeframe.

It's Abe's Exoddus HD dude.

I'll pay whatever.

The title of the thread.

*notes

:lol:

Seriously though, don't make it episodic.

By the way, while we're on the subject of money and stuff. Did NnT ever meet its required target of 250k units sold to begin with?

That's classified. Developers and publishers usually have good reasons behind not telling that kind of stuff if they don't want to.

For once I agree with you, I think it's an excellent question.

I know I stand with Crashpunk on this one, being the huge fanboy that I am I'd probably pay way more for it than what's reasonable. :)

You can note that down as well Alex :p

We're reserving the one of a kind Super Mudokon Edition at $500 just for you, dude. ;)

For Crashpunk*

I'll just torrent it.

This forum, man.

We're such a loving fanbase!

Im fine paying whatever. I got my moneys worth out of my whole PS4 from NnT.

:)

Don't tempt me. Please don't :p

Just make sure that all levers work as intended in Exxodus and ill be a happy camper.

That Zulag 3 lever still haunts me...
