He talks about the first Stranger model of the Xbox they showed is different to the Xbox one they showed now. It's face is a little bit different and it has no crossbow anymore on the arms.

Beyond that, they're the same. The second is at the optimal angle for the cleverly placed edges that I'd assume are mostly hidden during gameplay.

I thin Mojo is right, it's all good and well for having a high res stranger, but what about all the other characters and then the massive gaming areas!

I think they're working on it!

Pretty sure that they're not just working on Stranger, given that this is a remastered version of the GAME, not just a remastered version of Stranger.

Call it a hunch.

I don't know how much the environments will be upgraded apart from new textures map. Upgrading Stranger was easy as they could use the CGI model and lower the polygon count, I'm not sure they could do the same with the levels models.

You would be supprised what a new lighting engine and the use of modern shaders can do.

a higher res texture map on low(ish) poly model just isnt enough, it would still look rough as hell. so im pretty sure theyre working on the levels also. creating a level doesnt actualy take that long if you work at it, as most of the objects are just repeated, just look at assassin's creed for examples of this.

The way that Microsoft works I'm sure that Xbox 360 won't see Stranger, many of the arcade games must sign a deal to be Xbox exclusive (or at least for the time being, considering how many released on XBLA, and then jumped over to PSN about a year later), for example a game called Machinaruim was denied and Xbox port because Microsoft was looking for the game to be exclusive, but it already had a PC port.

Original story can be found on JAW's site: http://www.jawltd.com/?p=630

How difficult would it be for them to get on the Xbox Originals list?

Probably a lot! Otherwise they would do it, I guess!

Seeing this news goes around on all news sites, I can't imagine Microsoft NOT be able to let this game be ported on the Xbox 360.

Anyhow I am more happy this game will be made for PS3 first, and not be ported from an Xbox 360 remastered game.

If only JAW had wizards, you can compress a disturbing amount of stuff with those.

I think they'd rather find a way to cash in on the work they're doing on the new version of SW, it'll turn up on Live eventually I'm sure of it. But until then as far as I'm concerned it's an exclusive for dat Tripple 'cause Sony stresses A.B.A.P

That first comma bothers me.

From Stewart Gilray's Formspring:

See, I told you.

Very exciting news, looking forward to playing the game again.

I really wish I had a PS3 right about now... Because I chose the 360 and am not about to purchase a PS3 as well.

I wish I even had a PSX.

Couple new screens I ain't never seen before...

Urgh, Stranger's eyes in that first one. Just... urgh.

Those screens- they're not from the nice shiny new version that JAW are doing, are they???

Nothing has been updated yet in those shots except for Stranger, as far as I can tell. It was my understanding that they've only just begun working on the project (maybe a couple months), so I wouldn't expect anything substantial at this early stage.

I really hope once the remastering's done it will be as pretty as Beyond Good and Evil HD

Wait... there are screenshots posted of that? Can you give me a link?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but as far as I know the main difference between BG&E and BG&E HD is resolution... So it's even not prettier than PC version

I dunno. It looks much the same to me.

Those 2 shots are WIP, our art pass will not be complete until February.

Stranger's eyes were broken in that picture, so don't pay them any attention.

As for Art in general, we're doing a lot of stuff at runtime that isn't up n running yet, but even we're like Woah on the tests.

WIP = Work In Progress?

I FEEL YOUR PAIN STRANGER.

Course that is

No it, stands for Wank In Perpetuity. Which that screenshot certainly was.

So from the new versions of said games announced and already release next-gen games, what do you guys think? Should I buy an Xbox 360 or a PS3? And yes I still have no new systems. I would appreciate an honest opinion.

If I was you I would buy Wii and PS3 :D

Honestly, a Wii???
Since Xbox gets Kinect, and PS3 already has the Move, I shouldn't buy a Wii anymore for sure (not that you should have done that before that)

I only can't let you decide if to go for xbox or ps. Me myself is a Sonly fanboy, but I am not into online game that much, so the better xbox live is not really sumthing I should really need. Further more all the better games for me personally are on the Ps3 (MGS and GOW most and for all).
And now Stranger is certainly coming for it, you still better pray they won't fail to get it on xbox sum time! (I remember Stranger was getting on ps2 too, but also that didn't happen!)

Ehh, joke, and I hope you joked with Kinect (Natal was better name). I'm 100% sure it won't be even as acurate as wiimote without WiiMotion Plus. As far as my knowledge PS Move didn't lower sales of Wii much. If I had a choice I would buy a PS3. (Yes, I have a wii, and I'm happy of that) Anyway, to stay on topic: What do you think - What the updates will be?
