To be fair every forum has a Nepsotic. ;)

You can't have your five dollars. For example, if they kept the one Mudokon at a time rule, I would've complained about that.

BIIITCH

If it didn't have Quicksave. I think I might of cried.

It's funny because it's indistinguishable from when he's not joking.

I expect the "Locked" option is challenges, time trials, stuff like that. It would be nice if there was a New Game+, though I'm not sure what that would involve. Maybe it'd take away Quicksave.

The quicksave might be the best addition ever.

That and all'y'ah.

6:02:40 i randomly clicked here and saw the New 'n' Tasty Logo on the Indie Developers screen on stage.. I really hope theres some footage within that 11 hour video, I just cba to watch it all :/

The lack of Quicksave and All'y'ah in AO are two things that sometimes put me off playing it.

Yes I'm a bad gamer.

You are not alone...

I think Nepsotic was using the word 'sick' in the good sense of the term.

He was.

...

Oh.

I thought he meant sickly, as in not good.

New 'n' Tasty is coming to Xbox One!

Wow. I did not expect that.

Surprise!

First day went really well, people love the game, both Oddworld fans and otherwise. Hopefully there'll be some previews and videos up from press over the coming days.

great news jaw_alex :) can't wait to see gameplay footage. been checking here and googling but still no uploads...

Great to hear that the PC version will be coming sooner than the Xbox One and WiiU versions.

Nice to hear people are appreciating the game

we got some new screenshots

Things that sadly don't look as good as the original:

Rupture Farms and the Stockyards

Things that look beautifully better than the original:

Absolutely everything else.

We'll be live at http://t.co/RyyFwU9EuO soon :)

Haha. Seems that Microsoft finally came to their senses.

I'm very much liking the look of those screenshots, personally. I like the little detail of the spikes added on the Chant Orb.

Yay, it's on.

New 'n' Tasty Livestream up Next!

It's on next for anyone wanting to watch.

Okay. It might be because I'm just used to the originals but I think a lot of the character animations are too fast. Maybe the slower animations don't work as well with the modern 3D engine but it's certainly jarring. It's looking pretty well otherwise and maybe it serves the gameplay better this way.

EDIT: I'll clarify a little. Some seem a little jarring since others are not quick. So Abe Sneaking, rolling, pressing the UXB are more in line with the original which makes some actions like running through doors and pulling levers feel very quick.

But otherwise I think it looks great!

You can't do it any other way though. It's trying to recreate animations which were made for sprites only with 3D models. Like what you said, anything slower won't work.

Also the fact the game is 60 FPS might effect the animations. But I don't think it's too fast.

Lots of new gameplay during that stream. The game is looking polished and ready to go! :)

Yes, the animations are really skippy. They need a lot of tweaks not to look artificial.

Also, they fixed the minedisarmanimation. Also, you can scare off birds. Also, mudokons follow you even before saying "ok" to your "follow me" command.

I don't like the "goal achieved" effect thingy. It's lacking the awesomeness the PS1 version had.

Also, can't Abe just step around UXBs?

I agree. All the way through watching that I just had one thing stuck in my head to comment when it finished: quite a few of the animations seem badly paced. He looks like he literally teleports through the doors. Rather jarring.

The later parts of Zulag 1 look a lot better than the start. I loved the grey-ish meat saw parts, they looked good compared to the amount of orange that comes prior. I like the bird portals, I think that works apart from the comic sound effects, but I think that is one change I will be happy to adjust to.

The rhyming couplets that take the place of loading screens are also quite nice, yet surprising. I don't know much about the intricacies of games, but from looking at New N' Tasty I didn't think it would need rendering time (if that's the right term) at every door.

On the whole, it obviously looks great and I still can't wait to play it. I am fairly confident if I was in attendance at E3 I would stand at that stall until I completed it.

Yeah, this is the impression I got.

It's not connected to the issue and so it doesn't make any sense whatsoever

It's very possible it's too easy to get away from Sligs and such if they don't get up very quickly.

have i missed oddworld live? Or has it not come up yet?

You missed it, man. But it should show up on Youtube.

where can I rewatch this? damn it, missed it.

god dammit, that wasn't advertised very well! Hopefully it'll appear

It's possible that trying to emulate the speed of sprite animations for some actions interrupts gameplay a bit too much or, through playtesting, seems irritatingly slow.

It's too late. You'll have to wait
