I've been gone from here for a long time, just purchased New N' Tasty for PS3 and completed it. Overall great game and I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I feel "fan music" should be left as fan music, not incorporated into the actual game even if it's the end credits. It removes you from the fantasy world which is a real shame. Defenders will argue that "its only end credits not the actual game" but it is still an element of it and one that anyone who cares to complete it will have to endure. It's not appropriate for Oddworld and kills the overall atmosphere. Listening to the original credits from the PSX is so much more enjoyable. If this song were included as an unlockable extra "Fan Art" menu or something I'd be fine with that, but not as an actual part of the game. I just hope Exoddus Twice Ze Flavor will not have anything equally inappropriate this time around. Before anyone gets defensive I am not critiquing the quality of the end credits music, just how out of place it feels in the Oddworld universe.
I would also like to see Exoddus include additional areas/new cutscenes not in the original so the story would be more immersive (not that the original wasn't PERFECT!) and by that I do not mean replacing anything or excluding re-making of old cutscenes, but rather adding more (yeah that might be greedy but it has been a LONG time since anyone has had their Oddworld fix).
Fine-tune those controls, the pressure sensitivity makes Abe more clumsy (even for a mudokon) and trying to stop so you don't run into mines can be annoying (Boardroom meeting area).
Other than that I'm sure JAW will do a FINE job! (I still want Sligstorm)
