Oddworld Released For WiiU

[Job McYossie]

Okay first of all yay it's finally ported I hope it does well.
Secondly, they really wanted to scrub into our faces that the scrabs don't have their original sounds there at the end, didn't they?

[Varrok]

I like the fact that it lags even on the trailer.

[Crashpunk]

I think they slowed it down to make it look more "cinematic".

But yeah. I'm going to get it. Of all the consoles to play it on. Wii U has always interested me more.

Oh yes, believe them. I cannot wait to see the look on your face.

I remember Sonic Boom.

Also, they used the cinematic feel* only in scenes having multiple characters on the screen.

Yep, in the section in RF with the portal, this is of course correct. We thought that'd be obvious.

Er, no.

[Vlam]

Will there be new content ?

[FrustratedAssassin]

Does the touchscreen do anything interesting? Does it even display anything at all? Using it to aim grenades would be nice.

[Crashpunk]

That'd be cool. But I think you can just play the game on the Game Pad screen.

[Nepsotic]

That slow framerate = cinematic thing is so much bullshit. Like yeah I believe that's what they did but it doesn't have that affect at all. Not just in NnT, but I've seen other games attempt it too and it just looks really bad.

A realtime map would be cool.

[Job McYossie]

I've seen it done in movies and it's annoying.

[Varrok]

Like it's soooo hard to make animations slower* for the purpose of the trailer, to look like a real slow-motion instead of this choppy failure.

*plus they were tweaking animations a lot during NnT production, so they must have some experience with it

[Job McYossie]

I mean I don't feel like slowdown was necessary. unless they slowed down the whole game.

[Varrok]

Me neither, but if they decided to do them, they could have at least done it correctly.

[Nepsotic]

Nah, slow frame rate is all the rage these days. Fuck that 120+FPS bullshit.

The thought of playing NnT on Wii U seems really frustrating to me, although that's probably because I don't really like the gamepad. Cool to see it being ported to another console regardless, though.

Wait - were there JAW/OWI employees at PAX or was it just part of the Wii booth? They should have got in touch with me and hung out.

EDIT: Uhhh... definitely not OWI employees, come to think of it. Not after the money hat.

OWI was at PAX, yes.

[Nate]

OWI was at PAX, yes.

That's new. Well, next time you're in Seattle, look me up!

[Xavier]

I remember the money hat, but I think OWI would be crazy not to attend any PAX because of that.

[Vlam]

Will there be new content in this WiiU version ?

[Vlam]

I have to assume that the answer is "no". I'm asking because the guys from OWI-JAW are lurking this forum.

[Crashpunk]

It's just a port. I don't even know if Alf's Escape is in the Wii U version.

That's what I was told by a certain person who shall remain anonymous when I asked if OWI would be coming down to PaxAus a few years ago.
