Oddworld at E3 2014

[Job McYossie]

Well yeah. I look forward to getting ice cream more than I look forward to getting a sandwich. I'm still pretty excited about that sandwich though.

[Connell]

Well yeah. I look forward to getting ice cream more than I look forward to getting a sandwich. I'm still pretty excited about that sandwich though.

I wish I was that passionate about food.

[Varrok]

I'll never understand why Valve is venerated as the gaming company. I can tell you this much, I'm looking forward to NnT more than any Half Life 3 bollocks.

You're looking forward to an announced game, with story and gameplay trailers released more than the game which hasn't been announced, may not be in production and got no screenshots or gameplay videos whatsoever? Amazing

[STM]

Don't tell that to me, tell that to the legions of slobbering, jabbering Gabe Newell apostles who get a semi at the mention of Gordan Freeman.

[V_O_T]

Well yeah. I look forward to getting ice cream more than I look forward to getting a sandwich. I'm still pretty excited about that sandwich though.

You should see the ice cream sandwich I made today.

House made (warm and melty) choc chip cookies with salted caramel and popping candy. And that's gelato, not ice cream.


But with the Valve thing, they do deliver high quality products imo. I like their definition and explanations behind the stuff they put in their games (I.e architecture and art direction wise) and they seem clever as a company. Also the way they do business is phenomenal. People litterally spending $100 on a ring on team fortress 2. The compendium in dota. From a business perspective it's genius.

Lorne did a 12 second pitch with others at E3.



EDIT: You can also see a couple of seconds from the opening cutscene.

Heh it was a funny video, and Lorne's performance wasn't that bad.

You're high on drugs.

[Varrok]

You're high on drugs.

You're high on drugs.

[OANST]

You're high on drugs.

You're high on life.

[Paul]

For added rant I'd like to say I really didn't like the scrab killing abe animations.

In AO it would run after you, stab you, mash your body up and eat you (see the art thread for facial expression at this point). In NnT it just keeps doing a quickly repeated head banging animation plus it doesn't have that that chilling sound of being impaled abe just seems to fall over :s

[OANST]

You're high on impaling.

[Varrok]

He's right. Scrab kills should look much more like this.

[Slog Bait]

Please

[Holy Sock]

Well, in one of the videos the Scrab does the classic stomp animations.

[Pirfsich]

Yes, Scrabs still jump on your dead abe-body. Be glad you have some variation in killing-animations

[Slog Bait]

Hell no, I don't want TOO many new features in MY New 'N' Tasty.

Too much variation is crap! Down with the system

[Pirfsich]

You can still play Oddysee, if this is too much new-level shit.

[Slog Bait]

AO is too new for me too. It's disgusting.

All this new fangled hoo ha

[Pirfsich]

The internet is too new for me!
Wheres the can and the string???

[Varrok]

I'm still not used to the concept of this so called "fire". I think it's gonna be dangerous to my cave

[STM]

Oh you guys. So funny.



Funny.

[Crashpunk]

Can I ask why Pirfsich is pretending to be Lorne?

[MeechMunchie]

I think he misinterpreted the term "signature".

[Nate]

That's enough spam, thanks. Don't make me break out the fairy.


EDIT: Worst threat, ever.

[Pirfsich]

I never intended to fake anything here, but I deleted it, fine now? -.-

[Xavier]

Yep it's fine now, don't worry about it.

[Holy Sock]

Well in the most recent issue of Official PlaySation magazine there's a 2 page spread on New 'n' Tasty. Some new screenshots of Molluck, Elum, Scrabania, the FireeFire Zone etc.

The only new bits of information are that QuickSave can be used by simply clicking in the touchpad on PS4 and "New sections see Abe’s trusty steed Elum gallop along at a speed he never reached in the original" and that "Riding him at full-tilt generates a real out-of-control thrill."

EDIT: Also there was a bit in reference to the fandom.

“The value greatly outweighs the management overhead,” [Lorne] adds, as he affectionately refers to a community that claims to, “know the game better than [we] do.”

[V_O_T]

Nice find @Holy Sock. +rep


Anyone know if there is a PDF version? I'd love to see how the Elum section plays out now :0

[OWI_Alex]

Pretty sure the publishers would rather you bought the mag

[Xavier]

The only new bits of information are that QuickSave can be used by simply clicking in the touchpad on PS4 [...]

Ouch, I hope they did it right and that this will not result in people unwittingly quicksaving at awfull places by touching it by accident. I have to admit I didn't hold a PS4 controller yet so I'm not sure my concerns make any sense.

“The value greatly outweighs the management overhead,” [Lorne] adds, as he affectionately refers to a community that claims to, “know the game better than [we] do.”

Yup, that's us alright.
