Technically, Lorne could have just dubbed Abe, as he did many times before, but he preferred to torture people instead.

The Vyker Labs are based on Lorne's people-to-mudokon torture basement.

In fact, Munch's Oddysee started as his first large-scale torture plan.

im the vykker with the squeaky voice

Oh. That Vykker. That's my favorite one.

It was the most successful torture method in history.

i thought that was your posting

No, it was Munch's Oddysee.

Link broken for me

What's wrong with watch dogs? That's probably my most played game this year. Yeah the graphics downgrade is a bummer but the combat and shooting were great. Especially with 3D Vision.

Yeah no. Watch Dogs was a mediocre free roamer at best that took the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed formula and threw the player into a modern urban environment. It was a fun game to mess around in but not worthy of any prizes (or money).

Anyway, unless JAW makes an announcement soon I'm standing to loose my Christmas bet. Which, ironically, was meant as a joke back then. Now it's actually something I hope will happen.

I think with the limited data we have ... the game does not launch at Christmas...Hope I'm wrong but my bet is for March 2015

There was no doubt in my mind that the PC Release would be in 2015, I just recently visited my brother in Pittsburgh and he has a PS4, I kept telling him he needs to get New n Tasty but he doesn't want to spend the 30 bucks...

Man am I Jonzing to play this game.

It says Dec 2014 on Wikipedia but then again can't really trust an editable wiki. There are some major issues with porting to Wii U (limited space on 8gb model) and some of the other platforms which are not as similar as the PS4 architecture

It probably says Dec 2014 cuz they really wanted it to come out by the end of this year.

Stewart told me on Twitter once that they were hoping to have Munch Vita out by March 2013. Don't take much stock in release windows.

NOTE: I could be completely mis-remembering this. Pretty sure it was March 2013. Iunno, it's a while past anyway.

I got into an discussion with some folks on Twitter about those in game ads. Because I didn't agree that they were the spawn of Satan I got labelled an eggo and a fanboy who refuses to acknowledge when Oddworld gets things wrong. Then I got blocked. I mean I didn't even get to say there's a couple of things about NnT that I'm not a huge fan of! But I have a problem guys. Why can't I stop arguing with people about Oddworld? Why does it aggravate me so? And why must I vent on the Forums where, ironically, Oddworld fans would give even less a shit??

Man, I just wanna play New 'n' Tasty on PC already.... :(

But oh well. It's almost Christmas ;)

My PS4 copy is still getting use everyday ;) No need to wait...

He jacks off to it, is what he's saying.

Why, that doesn’t sound New ‘n’ Tasty at all!

How else do u spend 6 months playing a game u can beat in 2 hours? :P

Actually, awaiting for practically a year for a game to be released on PC is too tedious. After all the PS4 walkthroughs I am even losing determination to purchase it.

I have to say at this point I’m really surprised how long it’s taking them to get the PC and other console releases done. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a multiplatform game go so long between releases like this.

I wonder what the holdup is.

I'm guessing there's a valid reason as to why. Nevertheless it's pretty poor show to wait so long even after the platform exclusivity deal has expired. It probably sounds like a lot of cry-baby fan wank but it's a bit odd to penalise a majority of fans because of the machine they want to play on.

I'll support Oddworld for as long as I think they deserve it but this is a bit of a piss take.

Stranger's forum on Steam is almost entirely full of threads with people complaining about the game being broken, so I assume they're going out of their way to make sure the same doesn't happen with N'n'T...

They said here that they're "not quite finished with ensuring the game is fully optimised for all hardware, and have at least a couple of months left before release." And that was a couple of months ago, so I hope that they'll at least have some news about it soon.

You know, I'm starting to feel similar, and I haven't even seen any video of it. I'm just starting to lose interest.

Let me announce the true and obvious reason, that you all might have known long before.
They desire to gain more money from PS4 contract accomplishments.

I dunno about that...I mean, have you seen the kinda shit Lorne Lanning puts on Facebook?

Enlighten me.

You guys aren't the only one that has lost intrest, not that I don't want to get the game, just the hype train that I was onboard of is no longer the case. I've already seen multiple play throughs of the game and everyone that I saw play the game are terrible (Besides for CrashPunk).

If it takes another 6 months.... It's whatever you can't help it. But hot damn.... That would make me lose so much more intrest.

Those who lose interest now will probably still buy it and play it anyway at some point after it comes out.

As true, I avow, DarkHoodness, though this is too obnoxious.

He's as hippy as it gets. Anti-capitalist out the arse.

Avarice is inevitable. I do not believe his exclamations after all the charade with game production. A hippy would never produce videogames.

Dude this is an English speaking forum.

I don’t think they’re penalising anyone for their choice in console but I think it’s really weird that they’ve now been working for six months on a game that was developed on a multiplatform engine from the start. Other than one blogpost giving a vague status update and a demo of the PC version at an expo a few months ago we’ve heard nothing.

I could understand this before when JAW were a newer and small studio that were working on porting old console games to new platforms, but it’s getting irritating now.

YOU ARE GOD DAMN RIGHT!!

Wait, I don't get this. You mean they're penalising everyone else because they decided to develop for PS4 first?

Anyway, I hope they take their time. It sucks waiting but it will suck even more waiting all this time and be given a game that wigs out constantly. NnT on PS4 was rather buggy at release and, although JAW were very good and communicating with its audience and cranking out the patches, I don't think they can afford to repeat that with any of the ports.

I mean look at the Master Chief Collection. It's obviously on another plain as far as popularity goes but there's a game that's had an insurmountable amount of negative press because it's so buggy. If it had been delayed by 6 months a lot of people would have been angry but, in hindsight, the game would have been much better received.

And as Dark Hoodness pointed out Oddworld on PC doesn't have the best reputation. The originals require a resolution hack to run in a 4:3 ratio, Munch's Oddysee doesn't work for half it's costumers and, although Stranger HD fixed a lot of the serious issues Stranger PC had at launch there are still some people who can't really run the game.

EDIT: So they should be trying to make NnT PC as bug free as they can. Test the utter hell out of it.

DOUBLE EDIT:

Also, beyond cynicism, there's no evidence that JAW or OWI recieved a handout from Sony. As far as we know Sony got 1 month of exclusivity in exchange for New 'n' Tasty being showcased on their E3 2013 Stage Show.

JAW are going to have to do a hardcore PR blitz when this finally does come out. Anyone who was mildly interested in the game but willing to wait for the PC version will have completely forgotten it by now.

Key sentence. The Halo collection is a port of games from old hardware, and there are big problems that come with that. They've said that there's a fully playable PC game there, so they either have one big problem with a certain hardware set or they're piss-fiddling with little details to make every scene run smoothly across the board. If they have to have hundreds of little hacks to make each scene run well on all hardware, then I really feel sorry for them, but they have a lot to make up with their PC reputation.

Anecdotal, but my favorite story of a port is Kingdom Hearts from PS2 to PS3. They lost all of the original data, so they had to basically recreate everything from the final retail version. Given the drastically different hardware, that probably meant recoding the entire engine. All of the graphics were redone from scratch. It was completely spot on, to the point where nobody could have known that it wasn't just copy+pasted with new graphics. Considering the differences between the PS2 and PS3, remaking it was probably a big part of the reason it was so good.

When I get a new PC Ill make a walkthrough for you :)

Also, Kingdom hearts 2 HD for PS3 is a terrible port. Theres 40 minutes more loading times.
Then again im a speedrunner, so casualy that doesnt matter...
