New Screenshots, finalized prices and release date promise

[JennyGenesis]

Like this one?

[Pirfsich]

I would like to read that. No matter what is on there.

[Xavier]

What boards?

I guess jaw_alex is referring to the big LED displays in RuptureFarms.

Oooooh...

Well now I feel dumb.

[MeechMunchie]

[Varrok]

AND THEY'D BETTER ADD THEM OR...

[STM]

If Sam's big 'ole floppy tits aren't in game I'm not buying it.

[Varrok]

It was promised to us that AbeHD will be a dating simulator. Can't back that off now.

[Connell]

New comparison. Thoughts?

[V_O_T]

New comparison. Thoughts?

Beat me to it!

Its lookin' good! I like the boombat silhouette and the old tribal sculptures are pretty neato too.

Makes me wonder if the game will have certain parts where a filter will go over the lens for effect. And Ratz bouncing around the joint too. They'd be neat too

[Nepsotic]

I kind of dislike how the sky looks like a flat sheet of paper in the new one, like how all the clouds are on the same plane? Apart from that, though, it looks fucking awesome!

[Varrok]

I agree about the sky, and the fact that the rest looks pretty neat.

[STM]

Wow, I think this is the first time anything I've seen in the whole process has bugged me a bit; the screen just seems a bit...busy. Like, look at all those assets that look like they've been plonked down. I think the sky as well looks a bit 'meh', but then because of the fluid camera thing it's not like just this one inanimate screen any more, so I don't know, maybe when you play it it'll be fine. I kinda feel bad for pointing it out now...

Sorry JAW. ):

[Connell]

I agree with your comments. I didn't want to jump in and criticize the photo straight away (because more often than not having an opinion about something on the good ol' Oddworld Forums is strictly prohibited, along with fun and ice-cream) but this screenshot looks rather "meh".

I completely agree about the flatness of the sky, and the whole scene looks rather overcrowded. I'd say the atmosphere's been missed on this one guys.

[Pirfsich]

Hmm. Too much colors...
The red/orange fire + green mushrom + blue sky + white fog/fireflies is way too much.
I think the overall lighting is great, I always felt the original to be too dark to be real, so I like it that it's a little bit brighter now

[OWI_Alex]

GIF time? GIF time.

[Connell]

My eyes just ejaculated.

That camera pan is ace. Nice to see the sky in motion, really brings the area to life. I think the screenshot just didn't do it much justice.

Also, whilst JAW are doing a lot of thread-viewing, Be aware I'm critical because it's my unofficial job as a die-hard fan. People are gonna love the shit out of this game, regardless of a few extra objects on a screen. I just hope I'm in the game credits as "JAW's chief picky bastard".

[Pirfsich]

Abe is jumping pretty fast....

[Nepsotic]

I'm pretty sure the GIF is sped up...

Same goes for me. Just because we're not ass-kissing like everyone else it doesn't mean we don't love the shit out of the way it's looking right now (hint: we do). Also, holy shit, does that look good in motion.

[Xavier]

Wow, thank you jaw_alex, seeing it move changes everything!

The only thing I would say is that for some reason I find that the fire and mushrooms are projecting a bit too much light compared to the original game. In the original you really had this "deep dark night" vibe that is now somewhat lost. And while I have to admit that the glowing shrooms look great, I think it just kind of changes the mood.

But apart from that it looks great


Also Pirfsich you can't base yourself on a gif to determine speed as they are not always playing at the same speed depending on the browser you are using.

[Varrok]

GIF time? GIF time.

My only complaint is that I don't have it yet. I hope you'll fix it, JAW. I believe in you

My eyes just ejaculated.

I'm so sorry.

[Xavier]

Just a quick question, is there any reason you guys at JAW decided to add those? It's both in the screenshot and the gif.



I think they play some part in making the scenes overcrowded, but I'm probably oversimplifying this.

[CrowbarSka]

There is a good reason, yes.

[Xavier]

Hold on, are those checkpoints?

[Varrok]

What's with the ball, what does the ball do?!

DOES IT SPIN?!

[Xavier]

I don't know if it spins but it wasn't there a few weeks ago

[Varrok]

"You here wanked"

[El Dango AGAIN]

GIF time? GIF time.

I am approve!

[Scrabaniac]

I think the sculptures would suit the job of checkpoints, it kind of makes sense actually. What else...? oh yeah.. OMG THAT GIF ALMOST MADE ME CREAM! I am seriously so excited for this game!

Yeah, I have to admit that the mushrooms are bugging me. Not necessarily because of the glow, but because of how many there are and how they’re clustered up into large, unnatural-looking groups. Maybe if there were less of them, and they placed around less frequently and less regularly, it wouldn’t look quite as busy.

These GIFs are fabulous, by the way.
