On the owi youtube channel now!

It's amazing!

It's a really good trailer, way better than the one they did for Stranger HD.

*Manly Squeeling*

It looks beautiful, I can't stop watching it. I need it in my life now. :I

Now I'm more determined to get a PS4.

That trailer is immense.

JennyGenesis · #5 03-19-2014, 08:15 AM

Yeah, that jump cut where Abe walks forward then we see Mollucks Slig getting struck by the lighting, that genuinely frightened me and I jumped in my seat!

Anyway, my opinion, I'm at an absolute loss for words on this, it is looking amazing!

Nice to see that they still kept the humour in there, I couldn't stop laughing when the one slig shot the other, not only was it funny to watch, but their voices were equally as funny.

As for the gameplay footage in the video, I'm going to assume that they recorded it from the PC version but I'm sure somebody at J.A.W could give me the answer on that one. I sure as hell cannot wait to see how it looks on my PS4!

Looks great! I gotta go to work now, so I'm not gonna get to see the.. erm, are they doing some kind of conference? Or was it just the trailer release that was gonna be shown at an expo without any kind of presentation?

I like the credits, out for every computer/console except XBox One/360 lol

SoulStorm64 · #7 03-19-2014, 08:16 AM

Looks very very nice! The running jump actually looks good now!

*edit* Also.... MMMM Dat Shrykkull... Sexy

Manco · #8 03-19-2014, 08:21 AM

Fuck, I was writing up a thread and everything.

I really, really love how much more streamlined and faster all the animations are. I remember being worried about how slow and cumbersome Abe looked way back in the alpha footage, so seeing him running and hoisting up ledges in this trailer was really great to see.

I’m not 100% sold on how some of the animation and sound effects come are a little more exaggerated and cartoonish, but it’s not a dealbreaker. The only thing that bothers me is that Shrykull prance.

But holy god that lighting and environment detail and seeing everything in motion and working together yesss

JennyGenesis · #9 03-19-2014, 08:23 AM

I've just realised, Abe and the moon has four fingers?

So will the Japanese version be edited to three fingers or is that dispute all over now?

THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT THEY HAVE IT

pupbenny · #11 03-19-2014, 08:24 AM

It looks great.

However, I don't like the way the Mudokons were in a nice neat line. They looked as they they were a line of soldiers ready to take orders from General Abe or something...... They need that overlap from the originals otherwise it just looks weird.

V_O_T · #12 03-19-2014, 08:26 AM

The electricity!

RED RING ABILITIES LOOK UNREAL! It looks so powerful now!

Its going to take me hours upon hours to finish this game as every screen is just so pretty to look at.

Blown out of the water JAW/OI. Congratulations!

this was totally worth staying up until 3am for.

goodnight all

Nath · #13 03-19-2014, 08:28 AM

Just noticed that the Rupture Farms logo, in that one area, still has graffiti of a moustache and monocle on the Glukkon. Glad they kept that.

E. Manco beat me to it

Up yours? Is that what the graffiti has said all these years :O

Scrabaniac · #15 03-19-2014, 08:36 AM

Omg this looks so stunning! The shrykull looks so powerful and intimidating! Love the gore content where abe gets minced up! That will make my heart race when I'm controlling him! Only thing that makes it feel 99% perfect is the Scrab sounds like a lion :P but that's no biggie

Jordan · #16 03-19-2014, 08:42 AM

Wow!! I've not been this excited for a game in a very long time. Blown away. Constantly.

Oddey · #17 03-19-2014, 08:46 AM

Excuse me, I have to go collect my jaw. It seems to have tunneled to China.

SoulStorm64 · #18 03-19-2014, 08:52 AM

The only thing that's bugging me is the Speech changes in the Scrabs and Paramites are different... i didn't know Scrab's were secretly lions...

JennyGenesis · #19 03-19-2014, 09:02 AM

Does nobody remember that the Scrabs made those sounds in MO?

Manco · #20 03-19-2014, 09:05 AM

I think everyone would rather forget MO.

STM · #21 03-19-2014, 09:05 AM

Oh. My. God.

This looks fucking amazing, I want nooooow. Only thing bugging me is the scrab/paramite noises.

Holy Sock · #22 03-19-2014, 09:10 AM

Pretty darn slick. Love how this game has come together.

Scrabaniac · #23 03-19-2014, 09:11 AM

The stockyards look... Wow... Hopefully there's more than just scrabs in there!

Slog Bait · #24 03-19-2014, 09:19 AM

Oh man I still have a shitload of nit picky complaints but I don't even fucking care because the gameplay itself looks so satisfying it makes up for everything that bothers me

Also yum, that red ring and Shrykull

DarkHoodness · #25 03-19-2014, 09:25 AM

Wow, it's looking damned nice - That lighting and level detail. And it looks like it'll be fun - The scrolling camera will do wonders for the gameplay, especially during the more action-packed parts.

I was thinking this too, and feel it's also a shame the Scrabs and Paramites don't sound as unique as they once did - But meh, minor nitpicking. I like what I've seen in the trailer a lot.

Slog Bait · #26 03-19-2014, 09:34 AM

I think the paramites are pretty passable. Much better than sounding like fucking pigs.

Are trapdoors signified by those purple lights?

STM · #27 03-19-2014, 10:01 AM

I agree, the paramites sound pretty good, still similar to the originals. It's just the scrabs that bother me, sounding like lions. The slig visors are cool by the by, like, how the red light acts as a detector for how far they can see you.

Holy Sock · #28 03-19-2014, 10:11 AM

It's very possible these are placeholder sounds - or the team wanted a greater variety of sound effects. I mean, the Scrab only had three noises in the original.

Havoc · #29 03-19-2014, 10:14 AM

Hot damn, that was freaking amazing. Just... wow! Never did I ever expect an old 2D game like Abe's Oddysee could be remade in full 3D and look this amazing and true to the original.

I could also spot some definite influence Lorne had on the look of things. Especially the new intro pan to Rupture Farms with all the Glukkon heads is something I imagine he wanted to put into the original, but wasn't technically doable at the time.

Do have to say that the cutscenes, being rendered with the engine now, lost some of their magic compared to the CG ones. Everything looks a little more bland and rough around the edges. Especially close ups of characters. But I can understand that, CG would probably double the production cost.

OANST · #30 03-19-2014, 10:19 AM

It does not look like rancid balls.

I usually do like Oddoworld, as long as I don't have to see or hear Lorne talking about it.
