I watched this last night, and I've got to say, it ruffled my feathers a tiny bit.
His main gripes seem to stem from
his expectations of the game. He wanted Abe HD, and got New n Tasty. I personally would've been a little disappointed if the remake turned out to be current renders made into sprites/backgrounds with the flip-screen mechanic. I would've gladly watched the remastered cutscenes on Youtube, but other than that, it wouldn't have excited me nearly as much as what New n Tasty ended up being. I would've still bought it, but I would've felt a tiny bit disappointed that it was virtually the same. That said, I do agree with a few of his points.
I agree with some things; I've made my opinion on the in-game ads clear, and also about the controls. He also makes a good point about the laser/trigger gates in the Stockyards and Freefire Zone which I hadn't thought about. I also agree with him that the laborer Muds talk too much for how afraid they should be for stepping out of line. And I also agree that even for Lorne's dream-like vision for NnT's visuals, Rupture Farms' interior looks better with stark, white lighting.
I really disagree with his gripes with the sped up animations. I see where he's coming from, and I do like the weightier, slower animations of Oddysee, but they were sped up to fit in with the more responsive control input. Also, his comment on the Slig visors is a little ridiculous. Not only were the walker Sligs in Exoddus's cutscenes fitted with aviator masks, while their sprites still showed them with their original visor masks. There are also images that depict an aviator-masked walker Slig alongside the cast of Abe's Oddysee.
If anything, JAW and OWI did right by including both mask variants to cover those inconsistencies from the original games.
I can understand his disappointment in some areas, but I'm quite happy that New n Tasty and Abe's Oddysee are two
different games. If it were a grid-based, flip-screen Abe HD, I'd be hard pressed to play the original much after purchasing Abe HD. I'm very happy that I can play two takes on the game, and not feel like New n Tasty makes Abe's Oddysee obsolete.
