And so it begins...

We'll be at E3, and we've got a few slots left to talk Oddworld and show off New 'n' Tasty. Email us: press <at> oddworld.com

Indeed it does.

I wish I could go to an E3 event. But life gets in the way of life lol.

All the best to you guys while there :)

Will you have a booth? Anyone on here going to it?

Is it just going to be Lorne and Stew, or other JAWsers as well?

I don't think it's the right time to go into specifics. We do have a presence there though, so hopefully lots of people will be able to play it. :)

If anyone from OWF is going, shout.

I'm not sure anyone from OWF has a press pass. Unless the E3 is now open to the public.

Any chance you guys are coming to the gamescom or any other convention?

E3's open to anyone affiliated with the games industry, AFAIK. As far anything after that, one thing at a time!

My uncle used to chip PS1s back in the 90's... can I come?

I mean if you guys could put in a good word about the OWF and we are affiliated with OWI/JAW.... then we could come ;)

Woo! I'm already hyped for E3 so this is some awesome news!

If a playable version of new n tasty is on display am I right to assume that it will just be rupturefarms?

If a playable version of rupturefarms is on display am I right to assume that it will just be new n tasty?

OANST just made the killer argument!

Edit: Sorry Jenny.

Will this be filmed so us who can't go can see it online?

Well I guess so yeah, this is E3, the point of it is to promote the games as much as possible. What better way to show people playing the game to do so?

I'd be disappointed if not. Players will be free to film and photograph the game, yes.

Ok that means a shit ton of new footage is incoming soon. :D

Hope so!

Ahh im excited! Also, may we be blessed with a new trailer to announce the official release date? :P

They have days left to announce the release date!

Some new footage here in amongst the other bits: http://www.oddworld.com/2014/06/lorn...s-playstation/

I like most of the new parts. I find that orange once-LED signs a weird choice though. Can you tell us something about them?

The mine deactivate looked... wierd.
Abe`s hand was suddenly up there and twisted around :s


nitpicky.

I believe these animations are still placeholders, unpolished, shown only for E3's sake.

Leading multiple mudokons at once confirmed?

Yes. It has been said months ago. Also shown in the trailer.
WTF, you should have seen it....

Since our GDC gameplay trailer, yep. :)

As nitpicky as we get, it's helpful none the less.

It looks fantastic but them sligs look way to hyped up on caffeine. Some things need to be slowed down imo. Otherwise it feels like the life is too animated and hyper. Not fluid and lifelike. They're heavy pants I'd assume.

Other than that I love the look of Abe preparing to throw the rock lol.

I don't like them, I much prefer the old black backgrounds with green and red text.

Maybe that is just in rupture farms.
looool

Great work, heres the standard input
 

It's looking really sharp ; but since you benefit most from input - JAW must get a fix on the still-not-quite-there-character animations and that's about it from me!

(You cannot release a AAA game in which one of the few dozen boxed animations is hideously broken. (Pressing the UXB). It's simply unacceptable but I'm hoping its on your to-do list)

It would make me so, so happy if you guys got rid of the dust and shit on the screen throughout the game - it will date quickly. I can imagine the discussions that led to it (it looks gritty and real) but you might want to lead the trend away from this instead of following it. Who knows.

Other than that it is surely looking sharp, I am really excited and have more faith in it every day

Loving the visible checkpoint system, Very retro! :D
(I'm guessing the blue Mudokon face on that little screen was a checkpoint)
It's really coming together guys, Well done! :)

God this game looks so pretty, New 'n' tasty certainly blown my previous expectations out the window!
Now we just need that release date ;)

Please don't be 2015

T-6 days.

Loving the Scrab in the cage passing by, although won't it kinda ruin that shadowy, mysterious presence they're given in the Stockyards? Agree about the UBX animation also, it sticks out a bit considering everything else around it looks rather flawless.

Not very keen on those boards that seem to change from a Glukkon to Abe as he walks past either. They're quite... Looney Tunes.

Any chance you could tell us what they're about?

One thing I noticed in that small bit of footage was how quick Abe ran to the right.

Is the game running at 60fps? The game is looking a lot more fluid then it did previously.

It's running in 60 fps, watch this video of the GDC trailer
(looks a lot more fluid than the youtube-version which is limited at 30fps): http://www.gamersyde.com/hqstream_od...-31786_en.html

Welp i giffed all the parts that showed New n' Sexiness gameplay. no thanks are necessary... well actually they are ;)

Some of them got cut off a little bit too early though.

I don't like it at all. It's reminds us we are in a video game, it breaks the immersion.

What could be the in universe justification for that?

Is looking good. But I agree, that if this is the current build, some of the character animations look a bit quick and jerky.
