Tanto Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explore ancient ruins, dodge carnivorous beasts and avoid trigger-happy guards as Abe, the original Oddworld hero in this lovingly recrafted take on the classic adventure "Abe's Oddysee". Once a happy floor waxer in Oddworld's biggest meat processing plant, Abe stumbles across his boss's secret plan to turn the factory's slave labor force into the latest in the RuptureFarms Tasty Treats line of novelty meat snacks. Abe now has to save his own skin from the grinders, but simply escaping the flesh farm is only the start of his Oddysee - for many dangers await Abe on his journey to discover his destiny. Built from scratch from the ground up, enjoy new breathtaking visuals, enhanced audio and improved, deeper gameplay as New 'n' Tasty reignites the original Oddworld game using the latest next-generation technology. Amazing new graphics With art direction from series creator Lorne Lanning, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty offers a view into Oddworld with fidelity never seen before. Fluid animation, new free-moving cameras and high resolution (up to 4K) visuals make RuptureFarms and the surrounding areas look incredible, creating the Oddworld that Lanning always wanted to see. Revamped controls Analog controls offer more subtle control over Abe, and new tricks like free aiming, the ability to drop grenades behind you and also sneak whilst crouching open up new avenues for stealthy tactics and inventive speed-running. Optional 'Old School' controls bring back hopping and digital movement too, so the Oddysee purists can get started with some familiarity. Brand new areas, brand new secrets From the murky grime of RuptureFarms to the expansive native lands of the Monsaic Lines, through to the vast temples of Scrabania and Paramonia, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty boasts new areas, subtle gameplay changes and a few surprises. Fans will recognise the huge meat grinders, Scrab holding pens and cavernous caves, but there's more than enough that's new here to keep you on your toes. Abe is back and better than ever ! The PC version was released yesterday (25th Feb 2015) and apparently the port is amazing (very positive reviews on steam). I'm so glad they did this little gem of a game some justice because I will definitely buy it at some point this year, any other Oddworld fans on these forums that plan on buying this ?

esmittystud101 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It looks pretty good for a platformer thats for sure. I might pick up on PS4 one day. I feel like waiting it out a little bit. It could end up being a freebie for PS Plus members one day, but I'm probably just getting my hopes up.

Tanto Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Definitely worth buying mate, I think its one of the best if not the best Platformer I've played .... Very funny, entertaining story and the game play is great. It's 10% off on steam at the moment by the way. Edit: I just checked to see how long ago I played the original and found out it was released in 1997 Edited February 26, 2015 by Tanto Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769351-oddworld-new-n-tasty/#findComment-1067029468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanto Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Now that's a proper remake, looks gorgeous. Agreed, I would buy it right now if I didn't have so many unplayed games in my library lol Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769351-oddworld-new-n-tasty/#findComment-1067029554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
X S Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 This has been out for awhile now. I beat it a few months ago. It was an excellent remaster too. But to think, this game was already gorgeous back when it came out on PSX.

unopesci Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I feel like I love the original abes oddysee too much to even play this game. It might trample all over my nostalgia.

Kiffster Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I might have to pick this one up, looks good. Never played Oddworld before, but it reminds me a bit of Heart of Darkness which was probably the last platformer I played way back when. It was amazing! Sadly that will never get remastered.. would've been awesome though!

Oh trust me, no worries there. They really did the remaster justice. It's still the same game, but it's polished and tweaked for current gen. It's like putting on a new pair of glasses.

AZAZEL Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Played the original back in 97 on my parents' PC. It was an absolute joy picking this gem up again, in this HD remake (the one most true to the original ever?). I missed a lot of the secret areas back then, so it's really fun giving them a go now.

Fireman Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I hated this game and I never understood the appeal to it and I didn't know what to do back then (I was 8 or something at the time). Maybe it's the time to give it another chance. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769351-oddworld-new-n-tasty/#findComment-1067046279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the time to give it another chance. It was definitely a difficult puzzles game. I was probably 10 years old when it came out, so I couldn't beat it at the time, but I was enamored by the graphics and how pretty it looked back then.
