Personally, I will be sad if Soulstorm is not very close to Exoddus' game-play wise, but that doesn't mean that I'm not still excited about the game. It's mainly that I've been sitting with the assumption of Exoddus HD w/ some new stuff for maybe one and a half years (two years?) that makes me disappointed. But it's like expecting to get a cookie, and instead you get some ice cream; It's not what you were getting ready for but you're still getting something awesome! I just wish they were able to communicate it a bit better earlier on (or maybe I just didn't understand what they mean't, haha). I'm not blaming OWI at all, mind you, I know that you have to be very careful with what you say in the game industry. It's just something they would have had to do. They probably expected this kind of reaction if they had announced this earlier, and it was probably way too early in development to really be sure anyway.
Basically, I'm sad that I won't be able to play an Exoddus HD, but we're getting a brand new Oddworld game. Oddworld is officially back! Against all ODDs (sorry) a video game series that silently ended more than 10 years ago is making a comeback with the original creator at the helm!
