GIF time? GIF time.

My only complaint is that I don't have it yet. I hope you'll fix it, JAW. I believe in you

My eyes just ejaculated.

I'm so sorry.

Xavier 05-15-2014 12:45 PM

Just a quick question, is there any reason you guys at JAW decided to add those? It's both in the screenshot and the gif.

I think they play some part in making the scenes overcrowded, but I'm probably oversimplifying this. :p

CrowbarSka 05-15-2014 12:52 PM

There is a good reason, yes. :)

Xavier 05-15-2014 12:54 PM

Hold on, are those checkpoints?

Varrok 05-15-2014 12:59 PM

What's with the ball, what does the ball do?!

DOES IT SPIN?!

Xavier 05-15-2014 01:08 PM

I don't know if it spins but it wasn't there a few weeks ago :p

I am approve!

Scrabaniac 05-15-2014 01:45 PM

I think the sculptures would suit the job of checkpoints, it kind of makes sense actually. What else...? oh yeah.. OMG THAT GIF ALMOST MADE ME CREAM! I am seriously so excited for this game!

The only thing I would say is that for some reason I find that the fire and mushrooms are projecting a bit too much light compared to the original game. In the original you really had this "deep dark night" vibe that is now somewhat lost. And while I have to admit that the glowing shrooms look great, I think it just kind of changes the mood.

Yeah, I have to admit that the mushrooms are bugging me. Not necessarily because of the glow, but because of how many there are and how they’re clustered up into large, unnatural-looking groups. Maybe if there were less of them, and they placed around less frequently and less regularly, it wouldn’t look quite as busy.

These GIFs are fabulous, by the way.

Crashpunk 05-15-2014 02:59 PM

I am in LOVE with that sky.

STM 05-15-2014 03:59 PM

BATS!? Also thanks for the .gif, that looks excellent!

Nate 05-15-2014 08:46 PM

I love all the bits and pieces dangling in the background. It was that stuff that always made the original feel like a real, populated world to me. Plus they just look cool.

JennyGenesis 05-15-2014 11:34 PM

Urgh, they put the bats in this game?

They have a lost a sale!!!

I completely agree about the flatness of the sky, and the whole scene looks rather overcrowded. I'd say the atmosphere's been missed on this one guys.

Difficulty with grabbing a singular shot when it's inherently more fluid now. Remember the camera's moving more than it did in Oddysee, illustrated by the follow-up GIF...

Just because we're not ass-kissing like everyone else it doesn't mean we don't love the shit out of the way it's looking right now (hint: we do). Also, holy shit, does that look good in motion.

Yup, noted. And thanks. :happy:

There's a reason they were added and a reason they're in the shot and the GIF, yup. I think you guys figured it out though.

FFZ's an organic, wild place, you know that. ;) Not every area of the level will look the same, it's just a case of not wanting to show everything before the game's out.

These gifs are fantastic, and exactly as Nep said, we are die hard fans. We aint ever loosing faith. No matter how much we argue over music notes and comic sans lol.

Also, through out the development process, have you guys come up against any technological boundaries? e.g. things you want to add but cant?

Cheers for putting up that gif to put the game into better perspective. The screen shots are amazing but do not do it justice in how great it really looks when its alive.

Good ol' Bats!

I personally can't wait until you all get to play the game ;-)

Xavier 05-16-2014 03:36 AM

Fine, give it to us then :D

You can't blame me for trying right?

Varrok 05-16-2014 03:38 AM

I begged for a free NnT before it was cool.

Jordan 05-16-2014 04:04 AM

Can we have an exclusive Oddworld Forums demo? ;)

V_O_T 05-16-2014 04:23 AM

^

Speaking of, have you guys thought about releasing a demo for PC users? like, cut the game off at the point of where you get to the stock yards. I say this because its coming to PC a month after correct?

Pirfsich 05-16-2014 05:47 AM

The demo for us won't hurt the sales, because we are all buying it anyway! I don`t see a problem with a short demo :3

Xavier 05-16-2014 06:01 AM

If you're buying it anyway then there is no point for JAW to release a demo. ;)

I just wanna see what it looks like on my new 27" inch PC monitor tbh :P Demo or not, I can understand each outcome and I'm fine with either or.


But it would be sweet lol

Xavier 05-16-2014 06:17 AM

They can't do that. The fact Lorne was on stage at the Sony conference at E3 2013 meant that they had to be PlayStation exclusive for one month.

Sure you don't need any... *ahem* ... Beta testers?

Xavier 05-16-2014 06:25 AM

Oooooh that on the other hand...

I'd beta test the shit out of this game. :p

Varrok 05-16-2014 06:41 AM

I can test that! I tested SWHD!

Scrabaniac 05-16-2014 06:49 AM

If Demos don't hurt sales, why not set up a pre-order system where you purchase the full game but get to play the demo before release? In other words.. Pay £19.99 for the demo and get the free full game.. :P

Crashpunk 05-16-2014 07:00 AM

it's a neat idea, but I think Demos are a thing of the past now.

Question for JAW: Do you have any plans to release Steam Trading Cards and Badges for the PC version? I would love to have a Oddworld Foil Badge on my profile.

Also, I just set up my PS4 for recording. Ready and waiting guys :)

Yeah, and I really hate it, funny how I was just in Game, playing a demo version of Octodad on the PS4 yet there is no demo version to be found anywhere on PSN, why make a demo if it's only going to be played in stores?

V_O_T 05-16-2014 07:13 AM

I'm down for the beta testing idea too :D


canwealltypelikethistogettheirattentionandgetbetakeys?


Pre-order demo would be pretty neato. Putting it up for pre-order now would make some decent revenue and i think it only costs $100 or something to put up a game on steam in the coming soon section? not sure on Steams policies.

Pirfsich 05-16-2014 07:31 AM

The pre-orderandgetademoforfree-idea is great! :D

STM 05-16-2014 07:51 AM

I would pay more to 'beta-test' the game before it was released on Steam. >.>

Pirfsich 05-16-2014 08:12 AM

Who wouldn't?

Nepsotic 05-16-2014 10:20 AM

I wouldn't.
