Oddworld isn't a kids game, and never was. They're marketing it in a way that doesn't pull new people in because it's so vague. It's all catering to pre established fans.

And really, why not just make a new damn game instead of remaking one that previously exists WHILE changing the content? And then only market it in a way that people who were already fans will have any idea what's going on? You can get past the nostalgiaphile backlash if you gain a new fan following along with it. They're hardly accomplishing this.

Remakes should focus on fixing what was wrong with the original game, and revamping it to better encapsulate what the original did. Updating the graphics. Smoother gameplay. Populating the world in a way that the original implied it was, but was unable to show because of limitations. That's progress, while still preserving what was. NNT seemed to be doing primarily this, up until the marketing started up. And now, they've done something that can change the initial impression of the story and world it's set in.
