To be fair, when OWI asked what people wanted next, most did vote for Exoddus HD, then we had a few months to let it sink in that that's what we would be getting next before they announced that they were going to use the original vision they had for the game. Most of us just assumed they mean't story and lore stuff, maybe some new enemies or areas. It wasn't even until this EGX panel that people are now questioning what the gameplay will be. Personally, I just really want to play in the N'n'T engine some more. The controls were so much more responsive and movement was much more fluid than the original, it was really fun to do those speed-run achievements. Kinda wish it had mod support for some custom levels.

That's fair enough man. Personally I wish they'd just take off their restraints and do whatever they want with their future games, but like you said since this is more true to their original vision then I guess that's just as good. Don't get me wrong, I like the sidescroller aspect too. I was actually a little miffed when i learned that the grid system for Abe's movements was removed in NnT, but whatever man. I don't mind. It's a new game. I'm especially excited for Soulstorm though because it seems brand new, even though the story is still sorta the same, it's a new game. New mechanics, different story aspects, returning characters (since Molluck wasn't in AE) and completely new characters too (more or less), it's all cool as fuck.
It's down to personal taste at the end of the day. Honestly I'd like OWI to give the middle finger to the fans and do whatever the fuck they want. I would like new games, pretty much like Soulstorm will be, not HD remakes of everything because the fans demanded it. But yeah, the fans are the fans, and they abide those sweet, sweet fans. Unfortunately.
