In regards to presentation all the natural environments looks great I think. Totally in line with the original, too.

But, yeah, it's hard to deny that the Sci-Fi look of Rupture Farms creates a much different atmosphere than the version you see in the 2012 footage. The original Rupture Farms looks pretty boring I might add - and not in a "it's a grimy, nasty industrial factory" kind of way. Bar a few select screens the design of these areas aren't that great. The opening cutscene does far more to establish the feel of the factory than the rest of the game does. There's a grimy feel to it at times but that 2012 footage is a great improvement to the design of the original (at least the opening - the screens after the vent aren't too great).

To be fair, the screens before the vent are almost identical to the ones we got. All that got changed was the lighting and the addition of a few sci-fi things like holographic displays and the checkpoints.

RF isn't that different from the original, but the lighting does a lot to change the atmosphere.

For me, Abe would always shuffle forward a bit before hopping, usually ending in blowing himself up

I will say that the exterior of Rupture Farms is cool as fuck, also insanely unfitting, like they didn't even know what game they were putting it in.

just like matthewmatosis heyooo


The default jump requires you to hold forward on the stick while pressing the jump button, which makes it real easy to accidentally nudge Abe forward and onto a mine.


I’m looking forward to SoulStorm Brewery 2.0. All pipes replaced with luminous neon.

Introducing SoulStorm Energy Drink!

A step in the right direction!

I was never a huge fan of analog controls for platformers to begin with, but that's just my personal opinion. Especially in a unforgiving game like Abe's Oddysee where platforming precision is crucial I think analog controls are detrimental to the experience and only add more frustration.

Yeah I can agree with the hopping being annoying, but classic controls completely fixed that issue.

I dont know, I dont remember having any issues (besides that) with the controls, but its been a long time since I started playing and I dont exactly move in the way they intended - Slow and steady.

GUYS, DID YOU HEAR?


Psst, Shade's a speedrunner!

Basically what other people said, but also the fact that they don't work well with puzzles that require fine timing.

Shade must have Alzheimer's.

...?

It's not only the hopping though. I'm glad they fixed jumping with the classic option but you still can't control Abe using the D-Pad.

Old duffer's going senile.

I laughed WAY too hard at this lol

He's not retarded, just French.

Nice fanart. I didn't know dogs could talk though.

Me neither. The more you know.

Haven't you watched Family Guy?

Nope.

Scooby Doo, then?

Hahahahahaha :happy:

Yes the new direction made everything seem more goofy and less threatening in general.

I am keen to see the SligBarracks again however, I thought that was cool because I like Military things. :happy:

Just make your game keep track of your progress better. Thats how you avoid stuff like skipping all of scrabania and giving me no competition.

And make DOUBLE sure that the mudokons listen to me. Happens all to often that I tell em to get down and then I shoot and they die, even if theyre in the get down animation.


I want them to fix the stuff that you guys probably never experienced.


Also, I dont know if bats are in Exxodus, but Nerf bats,

You are indeed forgetting things: no bats in exoddus.

Switching to classic controls fixed the hopping issue for me too. I didn't have any problems with the controls after turning classic controls on. Everything worked smoothly. When you are near a ledge or a lever, or a door, etc... it usually locks on which is really nice. So many times in the old one, I would be one step short of the ledge and it wouldn't grab onto it, and it got me killed.

I think they should keep Greeters the same. Either keep the lasers the same or change them simply on an aesthetic level.

You are also forgetting things: I never played exxodus.
