We've all said our piece on N'n'T. If you search each of our names you can find our opinions. The game absolutely polarised the forum/forums (still not sure if that pluralization debate was settled) For me personally, and I'm sure a lot of other members of the forum, New and Tasty will never stack up to the original, no matter how much work JAW put into it.

For me, it's like someone trying to put my childhood memories into HD. It might look nice and shiny, but it will never feel as good as it did in the first place. Abe as a character will always be very very important to me, regardless of what happens to the franchise.

I said some pretty mean things about N'n'T when it came out, 50% because I was disappointed in the game itself, and 50% because the leaderboards were driving me insane with their non-functionality. I'm pretty sure JAWalex, (or whatever username he goes by now) hates me because of how blunt I was with my opinions. I apologised at the time for how pseudo-anonymity makes you feel invincible on the internet, and I appreciate all their efforts to make a good game, but I'm just one of the unreachables, I suppose.

I'm not a member of any other forum on the entire internet besides this one. And I never intend to be a member of another forum. This is the only franchise that means enough to me. I'm a hardcore gamer with a ridiculously large collection, but Oddworld will always be the series that calls me back.

But I digress. JAW tried. It really isn't that great at all. I played through it once, I don't think I ever will again, even though I made the effort to get it onto my PS3.

I have every single downloadable Oddworld title from PSN on my XMB. But I will still to this day get out my disc versions of Oddysee and Exoddus, regardless of what "intentions" JAW or OWI have. And I will still buy their products because OWI shaped my childhood. I went back to being a lurker because I just didn't want to be a sour grape.

This comment is in response to vlam PM'ing me requesting my opinion in this thread.



TL;DR
New 'n' Tasty was below O.K. I said mean things about it. I feel bad. Game will never be as good as Oddysee. Peace and love.
