Mmmm could be a very nice fit for the Vita! The original blew me away back in the day.

A classic.
It's a shame that I know it so well that I can speedrun it

It doesn't have music?
I've yet to play Another World, despite always meaning to. I'm often at a loss as to where would be the best place to play it, and which version is definitive. I don't remember whether I ever bought it on PC.
I just stumpled on this across the German USK ratings.
Platforms listed are 3DS,Vita,WiiU,PS3,PS4 and X1.
Found nothing on the 360 or any other information.
Was this already known ?
Don't Shinobi me if old.
I just did the same and was preparing the thread. lol You were also looking for Resident Evil stuff?

Yeah
After I saw the tweet, I was sure there would be a rating for RE.
Well, this was a fine piece of information as well.

And PC, iOS and Android.
It's available on Steam and GOG so check your accounts there.
I played through AW for the first time on PC and I would call it a great remake/port, has easier difficulty settings, checkpoints, level select and you can toggle between old and new (which are just like the old ones but a bit more detailed) graphics on the fly.Well, they already invested in the remake and people who played it, already mentioned that it was good.
So it's not really suprising.

The game was made in 1991 so next stop would a 25th ann. ed. but I don't know what they could significantly improve without ruining it á la Flashback.

It was known about Xbox one, but not the rest. Might grab it on 3DS
Include Heart of the Alien!
They did speedrun (PC) Another World in Awesome Games Done Quick 2014
Here is the youtube clip of the game.

Great news. I'll pick up on 3DS if it's 3D

I already own it on my phone (which is a horrible way to play this game) and I grabbed it on Steam as soon as it showed up there. But I won't resist grabbing it for console if it shows up, it's just too good and I have too many fond memories of the SNES version.

Nope. If you are more familiar with the SNES version you will recall it had great music. The PC version has no music at all.
It almost ruined the experience for me.

This makes a lot of sense - it's already great on the OUYA - they might as well make some money on it.

Added on console ports for some reason, I can only assume they wanted to kill the atmosphere

I have the PC edition and its fantastic. Well, you kinda have to be a fan of it originally i guess, as i can see the trial and error-ness of it pissing off alot of newbies. Deadlight was a similar game int hat it required alot of trial and error and people ripped that game a new one, even tho i quite enjoyed it.

This, or I'll buy it during a sale for the Vita. Loved this game on the Amiga.
In fact, that there would be a good reason to buy it for the 4th or 5th time since I never got to play it.

Good to hear - I will definitely check it out, for the right price. I picked it up on Android a couple of years ago, and while it's still an interesting game I couldn't finish it because the controls were horrible.
How was the sort-of-sequel Heart of the Alien? I know of it but never checked it out.

I wouldn't call the SNES music great. More like an overproduced, tacked on abomination. You may disagree because that's the version you played first and some subtle background music wouldn't necessarily be bad but the remake stays true to the original vision of the creator (=Amiga/Atari versions) and I prefer that over someone else tinkering with the game.

I love the game, but ... c'mon.
edit: *sigh* if the price is right ($5), I'd be down for a vita version.
Maybe, but I don't care. It's a classic, and the Steam version means I'll never have to buy it again anyway.

Yesss. Along with Shenmue, Another World is my favourite game of all time. I already have it on Mega Drive and PC, but will buy again on PS4 in an instant.

Reading up on Heart of the Alien, it doesn't seem Eric Chahi had any involvement in it, and from watching a playthrough on Youtube it really doesn't seem as good as the first game anyway. My guess is it will never accompany a release of the original game because Chahi probably wants to distance himself from it.

This has now appeared on the Australian classification board, but oddly, Nintendo themselves are listed as the publisher.

Weird. That only happens for all VC games and naturally Nintendo-published games including on eShop like Dillion and whatnot, only all those are owned by them IIRC.
