Not sure whether that's good or bad, but yeah - dreamy.

Holy Sock 08-11-2014 05:53 AM

I kind of wanted to watch it, but I shielded my eyes a bit because I want to be surprised. But I love the idea of a really long puzzle involving one Mudokon.

I hope Alf is still a bit of a dick!

Also, will this level be integrated within the main story? Or a separate level like Left Behind in TLOU?

It's separate. Selectable from Chapter Select.

The guys have worked wonders to create new gameplay elements, is all I'll say about that.

Xavier 08-11-2014 05:59 AM

Looks amazing! Can't wait to get my hands on that! I love the fact Alf somehow haz a fez in game as well. /D

Plus you guys are actually going to be at Gamescom at the Unity stand!? That would have been awesome news if it wasn't in the restricted buisness area. :p

If any of you guys escapes that restricted zone give me a sign ;)

Also that was a well constructed trailer. Pat those trailer guys on the back, Alex!

Crashpunk 08-11-2014 06:12 AM

Brand new puzzles and sections in Abe's Oddysee?

I literally haven't got a single criticism of anything I saw in that trailer. 110% unrefined awesomeness. That meat saw chasing Alf was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for the price to be announced!

Exactly my words! This trailer is my favourite, and that part with the Meat saw gave me chills! Although I still have to wait for PC release. Can't wait!

Djwolf9000 08-11-2014 06:58 AM

This trailer looks amazing,can't wait to play it!

JennyGenesis 08-11-2014 07:19 AM

I'm at a loss for words, the environments look as amazing as the gameplay does.

I'm really excited to try this out! But this section of the trailer, damn, just what the fuck is chasing ALF!?

http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...0&d=1407770302

Ok, so it's a big saw, but that was the last thing I expected to see, I had no idea that we would actually see new objects for this mission!

Also, do you actually have to rescue Alf to reach the end? What happens if he dies? I'm assuming the challenge here is to keep him alive.

STM 08-11-2014 07:33 AM

I want it noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. D:

Can't believe I'm gonna have to wait a few more months to get NnT let alone this new DLC! Everything about what I've just seen has made me to an excitement wee. Dat trailer music. Fuck.

HOMINIX 08-11-2014 08:19 AM

Oh, man! Those giant background pieces... the colors... The challenge. I love you guys.
Will this be available at launch for the other platforms with preorder?

MeechMunchie 08-11-2014 10:28 AM

And the best part is, because this is new material, no-one can complain it's not as good as the original.

Havoc 08-11-2014 10:38 AM

Damnit, now I'm gonna have to wait for this longer because I only have my PS4 until the 17th :(

Any news on the PS3 release dates?

God forbid anyone have differing opinions on a forum :P

Holy Sock 08-11-2014 10:45 AM

"At least a couple months work" was the last they said about it. And "Sorry we don't yet have a release date for New 'n' Tasty on _____. We'll announce it when we know it." I don't know how the OWI Tweeter doesn't just rip their hair out repeating that phrase every day.

Bless 'em. The wait will be worth it once it's released on all those platforms.

El Dango AGAIN 08-11-2014 11:32 AM

I am also excited.

Xavier 08-11-2014 11:32 AM

Did you guys spot the sign with a huge "Alf's Brew" written on it?

Did Alf hold some kind of tavern inside RuptureFarms?


EDIT: by the way the trailer is now on TOGG:

Mudokon toilet wine? Delicious.

I noticed that too! All the little details they've put in this game are so great. Alf also mentions brew at the end of the song he's singing. That was the only word I could make out, anyway.

Such an amazing trailer. I can't wait to plaaaay!

DarkHoodness 08-11-2014 12:49 PM

He probably brewed up meat byproducts. Ick! But perhaps that's no worse than "toilet wine". :P

Still, this is really, really awesome, I'm glad the people at JAW took the opportunity to make new puzzles with new set pieces and stuff. :) Good trailer, too.

STM 08-11-2014 01:25 PM

I thought he was a Soulstorm addict. Maybe he actually vended it? Or sold it contraband, who knowwwws.

JennyGenesis 08-11-2014 02:37 PM

This DLC sort of reminds me of Zulag 10 of Soulstorm Brewery, where you had to keep a single slig going as long as possible to wipe out multiple screens of sligs and turn off an electric gate.

Yeah same here, I thought he set up Alf's Rehab and Tea to help those hooked on brew, he even says in the good ending of AE "I had my first brew, when I was with Abe in a desert"

You have already made the dlc better.

Holy Sock 08-11-2014 03:17 PM

Seems totally Alf, though. Essentially creates his own brew, gets addicted to the real deal, then starts a Rehab & Tea and won't let other people share, pushes Abe down a well yet won't follow because it's too high for him. Alf's a jerk I tell ya.

Well, there goes my theory! I don't know why, but I was under the impression the conspicuous door in the secret area added to Zulag 4 would somehow be the entry to Alf's Escape.

Regardless, great trailer, and I'm looking forward to the challenge. Are there any plans for more DLC in the future, or will efforts be refocused toward subsequent titles?

We wanted people to be able to play it immediately. :)

Maybe you'll find out more about Alf than you thought in Alf's Escape...

That was one of my favourites

This DLC looks good, I like new things, this is a new thing, I am very interested in playing thing.

Look amazing so far :) really glad you got such great reviews too from so many people!

Is there any new CGI for Alfs escape?

No new CGI, no. It's a self contained adventure and doesn't really warrant any story cut-scenes.

Some screens:

There's a shame, I think it would have tied in well to the story place it in Zulag 4.

It would have. But people who paid money for the DLC might not have wanted to have to play all the way through to the end of the game before they can play it.

JennyGenesis 08-12-2014 12:35 AM

Well you had to play to the end to get some DLC in Fallout 3 haha.
