Speaking of which, have any of you considered that maybe, rather than the gritty vision of Oddworld being pomped up/ruined for a post-Avatar sci-fi audience, the original vision was colourful and dramatic, and that was toned down to fit in with the '90s trend for brooding gloom and violence? Because as an owner of The First Ten Years, that's what I'm inclined to think.

That’s perfectly valid, but the first thing that springs to mind is that George Lucas’ “original vision” for Star Wars didn’t quite translate to the original trilogy.
That’s a stupidly extreme reply and I’m not trying to compare NnT to Star Wars at all, but going back to the original vision doesn’t always improve the experience. Sometimes a more limited product is stronger.
Anyway, regarding the new RuptureFarms – wasn’t there an older trailer which featured the original building? I seem to remember there being a short trailer which adapted part of the opening cutscene, and it definitely had a matte painting with the original RuptureFarms in it. Was that just JAW using what they had at the time and the original building won’t be used, or does it still exist in some form?
