Well shit. I'm away for 2 days and a new trailer comes out...
(Prepare for a long post, which will be repeating in a upcoming video.)
Okay. First things first the Music. I liked the song. She was a beautiful singer and the fact she is a Oddworld fan is a massive honor, which is really nice to hear about. However I do agree that it didn't really fit the trailer. It did make the whole thing very emotional sure, as if it was directed at Abe. But it didn't relate anything! (Anything I wrote on YouTube about the music fitting the theme, yeeeah no I've changed my mind)
The new scenes. I'm a bit gutted they changed Rupture Farms if I'm honest. I try to avoid nitpicking little things but this to me is a huge deal. As much as I like the design (as a design), I don't think it fits what Rupture Farms is. A dirty, polluted, unhygienic hell hole. Heath & Safety worst nightmare. This looks too clean, modern and... well not a meat processing plant.
I fucking
adore the imaginary of the Scrab and Paramite ghosts, best new thing they've added by far. It really fits Abe's Oddysee and makes you feel even more sorry for the creatures that are being killed at Rupture Farms. Mixing that with the older scenes will be perfect.
The boardroom looks good, Mollock looks great and the image of Lulu took me my surprise. Perhaps a bit of foreshadowing to a future Oddworld game? Or I'm I looking too much into it again? (probably the latter, I'm good at doing that.)
What I noticed a lot in this trailer is that the particles that work with the lighting are looking bloody fantastic. The scene where Mollock is electrocuted, the Mudokons chanting and the lighting from the signs looks bright and mesmerizing.
Adding the masks to the native Mudokons is a small thing, but I think it works well. Plus it relates to how Big Face has one.
And finally. The logo.
Yeaaaah the logo. It's not going to be changed, It never was. But I always had that little glimmer of hope that they tweaked it a bit.
And that's that. It's great to see the game is finally at it's final stages. Won't be long to play my most anticipated game ever!

Also, they should have added a quote to the trailer saying "Abe's toes aren't blue enough" - Oddworld Forums.
