I just came a little. Looking fabulous!

Mudokon sleeping pods in this screenshot of Rupturefarms.

Do you think they'll bring back that Guardian Angel guy? It'll be great

Also, I believe non-fans who are watching the trailer right now are like "what the fuck is this game about???"

Slog Bait 11-14-2013 08:39 AM

Yeah, there isn't really anything in the trailer that highlights the fact that he works for a meat processing plant in a really corrupt society

Nepsotic 11-14-2013 08:44 AM

Okay, now I'm actually really fucking excited. I like the music a lot, despite the fact that it gives the trailer a feeling of Inception-y style epicness. It kind of works.

OKAY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, NOW.

Steamer_KING 11-14-2013 08:49 AM

Wil, you should be proud. Even OANST wants to play. Welcome back OWI. We missed you greatly...

Want to hear an inane complaint about the Rupturefarms shot? Of course you do!

I wish it had fog effects, instead of a flat gradient.

I actually don't mind that much, but it would make a nice touch.

I love the animations, I hope the game runs in 60fps (youtube caps to 30 frames per sec), it looks really smooth. The music is awesome and true to the original, the sounds too. The graphics are a bit better than I expected from Unity Engine, so it's great. I enjoy the scenes with scrabs and cages, it just feels right. The trailer isn't MO-like cartoony, which is also a good thing.

Furthermore, when I look at the screenshots, the gamma (mostly in Scrabania) seems lowered and look much better than on the previous ones. I almost feel like someone actually reads our OWF rants D:

It doesn't seem like a case with the trailer, but they might have rendered it before they lower the gamma, so no big deal.

There are two things I don't like about the update, though. One of them is the stone lift from here, and the other is the OWI logo from the beginning of the trailer. Both look very cheap and with made with no extra thought. See the originals here and here.

That is all.

Wow, those screenshots. It's just looking better and better!
And after watching the trailer, I'm pretty much sold! I loved the scene with BigFace reviving Abe, so dramatic. :P

DarkHoodness 11-14-2013 09:14 AM

Heh, the nitpicking.

This is certainly looking a lot better than I expected it to be - To the point where I'm lost for words. It's looking to be a beautiful re-imagining of AO. Damned nice indeed, and those visuals look incredible.

I think they’re allowed to market a remake of a very well-known game at people who remember the original. That’s their core market.

MA 11-14-2013 09:23 AM

i'd like to concur with my brethren that Abe's eyes aren't shiny enough. buff those eyes. make em shine. i want to see the sun reflecting back at me and burning my retinas out. make me blind.

seriously though, looks great.

Michael 11-14-2013 09:25 AM

Excellent trailer and screenshots, I think the tone is perfect. Abe himself is characteristically clumsy and exaggerated, yet the world and environments retain a dark and foreboding feel. Overall, the humour seems aptly dark and ironic.

I really like how much thought and attention to detail has gone into the new levels to make them seem more functional and believable, and how the world and canon are being expanded/connected with things like the bolamites, sleeping pods, and the sligs rounding up scrabs!

It seems Abe's barrel ride has been replaced with the stock conveyor belt scene. I actually think it's both funnier and more appropriate, considering it leads to, well, the stockyards. Everything that I've seen so far that's different to the original seems like it could be an improvement.

Which is sort of the problem, right? Until the glare from his eyes becomes actually blinding, rendering the game unplayable, they have not performed their duties in a satisfactory manner. I know you'll get away with this most places, but this is the odwoorld forms. You can't slip this shit past us.

[Logo complaint]

To be honest, Oddworld Inhabitants barely has any of the same staff any more. If anything, it would be dishonest to try and present themselves as the same company they were 17 years ago.

BEHOLD

Mr. Bungle 11-14-2013 09:34 AM

New trailer looks wonderful. So excited for this to come out.

OANST 11-14-2013 09:36 AM

Give this boy a job.

Crashpunk 11-14-2013 09:39 AM

Just Add Water have nailed the trailer. It blows me away how close it is to the original.

AAAAAAAA JUST GIVE ME THE GAME NOW!

Wil 11-14-2013 09:43 AM

When BM spots it, he'll magnetize bullets.

Scrabaniac 11-14-2013 09:45 AM

This looks incredible. Just amazing. I really cannot wait to re live my childhood :) I love how tense the trailer is too! The 2 second paramonian temple bit totally looks ready for a paramite jump scare!

I don't say they should recreate the previous logo animation. Just make it as cool as the previous one

I had to go back through the trailer again to get what you were referencing, but I agree.

you're right. i swayed from the path for a moment, there. it'll never happen again.

this is fucking it, right here. this is the Abe we all know and love. we need this shit in HD.

Oddworld: Abe's Exorcism

OddYouko 11-14-2013 10:04 AM

Oddworld: Abe the last Airbender
Avatar State, yip yip!

Cannot wait to see the full intro now! Abe sounded really good, sure they didn't take the audio from the original? :p Again, really, really well done, and I'm excited to play it on the big screen!

Havoc 11-14-2013 10:17 AM

That took what, 1,5 hours? Great job... just great.

Bullet Magnet 11-14-2013 10:26 AM

-Scrab skeletons
-Bolamites! Very happy about that.
-Scrabanian bladder thingy
-First time I've ever seen a scrab run from anything.

I would post it earlier if only you 'liked' my posts.

yeah.

you see this is what makes people dislike you, Havoc.

You know there's actually a dedicated tag for this on TOGG? :p

Bullet Magnet 11-14-2013 10:58 AM

I like to imagine that if I hadn't said anything it would have been entirely forgotten about, unlike every other detail that was painstakingly recreated at great inconvenience.

Slog Bait 11-14-2013 11:01 AM

What would we do without you, BM

OANST 11-14-2013 11:20 AM

I'm going to be honest and say that I don't know what we're talking about.

V_O_T 11-14-2013 12:23 PM

The green shades are too differ-- aw sod it, fantastic attention to detail JAW.

The cut scenes look better than a majority of the next gen titles for the new consoles lol. Honestly, well done!


I wonder if we'll see a remake of the Shrink commercial. That is hands down the most creepiest and awesomest trailer for any game imo.

Oddworld, I have missed you.

OANST 11-14-2013 12:36 PM

Sooooo.... what is it?

Cloudman 11-14-2013 12:47 PM

Michael Bross' score sounds like his best work yet! Really driving home that Oddworld atmosphere.

I just sort of laugh snorted and sprayed my hands in snot. Thanks for that.
