[LiK]

WHAT THE

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

PRAISE THE LORD.

The original two games are some of the greatest games of all time, and have easily the best atmospheres, setting, character, and overall spunk then 99% of the games out there.

 

[Dead Man]

Best news of E3.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I used to live down the street from Oddworld before they went under, good to see them holding on.

 

[twinturbo2]

This reminds me, I gotta get to starting the PSOne Oddworld games I have on my PS3 right now.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

SON OF A GUN

Man: all power to them if they managed to get a good producer, because this is rad news.

 

[stuminus3]

If it's being developed by JAW, I literally don't give a fuck.

 

[Nirolak]

/me thinks back to this E3 so far and imagines a game exactly like Uncharted, but with Abe.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Well now I feel like kind of an idiot having hunted down both PS1 titles. >_>

 

[TheOnlyMook]

I will buy this with all my monies

 

[Carl]

If it's being developed by JAW, I literally don't give a fuck.

Lol ok

 

[Peff]

So, about that Stranger's Wrath HD update for PC...

 

[Tucah]

Holy fuck, Oddworld revival is such incredible news. E3 redeemed!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

/me thinks back to this E3 so far and imagines a game exactly like Uncharted, but with Abe.

I can actually see this happening, unfortunately.

A puzzle-action game it better be!

 

[LethaL ImpuLse]

Holy shit. This gen just keeps on giving.

 

[Calavera520]

best news so far

 

[Yagharek]

PRAISE THE LORD LORNE

Fixed.

 

[Dead Man]

/me thinks back to this E3 so far and imagines a game exactly like Uncharted, but with Abe.

God damn it, no. You hear me?

 

[echoshifting]

Wow, great news. Completely unexpected.

 

[Pennybags]

Woah. This is like bizarro world.

 

[Goldrusher]

no 1080p Abe

new Abe game

reboots suck

 

[dallow_bg]

This was known for a while.
I remember them saying they'd do an HD update to the original 2 games months ago.

 

[DoDonGouki]

OH YES !

And after that, a new Abe please.

 

[Goldrusher]

This was known for a while.
I remember them saying they'd do an HD update to the original 2 games months ago.

Read the OP again, they cancelled the HD remakes and are making a new game now, a franchise reboot.

 

[dc89]

Wow. Oddworld are long over due making another game.

 

[inky]

So, about that Stranger's Wrath HD update for PC...

.

I only spent 5 bucks on the game because I thought this was coming sometime last year.

 

[Mato]

Weren't they making a movie?

 

[raphier]

Weren't they making a movie?

At some point yeah. I don't think being absent this long from the industry has them ever doing one.

 

[GHG]

This is the best news of E3 so far. No joke.

Well this and that Watch Dogs game!

 

[Kilrogg]

Not sure what they mean by "reboot". If that means new gameplay in 3D or some crap like that, I'll be most likely out. If they mean new levels, new visuals and various gameplay tweaks, sure, why not.

 

[Muffdraul]

Niiiiiice. I used to love the Oddysee games so much, but when they came out on PSN I tried to replay them and just couldn't do it. Absolutely perfect for a reboot.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Sounds good to me.

What's next? Lanning giving us more info about Citizen Siege? =P

 

[A Huge Battleship]

WHAT

AWESOME

Spoiler

keep it 2D

 

[Goldrusher]

Not sure what they mean by "reboot". If that means new gameplay in 3D or some crap like that, I'll be most likely out. If they mean new levels, new visuals and various gameplay tweaks, sure, why not.

It could be anything.

A reboot gives you carte blanche. After all, it's a reboot. No connections to the previous games.

 

[wonderland]

amazing news

 

[TheSeks]

/me thinks back to this E3 so far and imagines a game exactly like Uncharted, but with Abe.

If Nolan North voices Abe, I'll take ten copies.

 

[BeEatNU]

Best news of E3.

truth

 

[Nemo]

Still waiting on the HD versions tho

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

This wouldn't be done by JAW right? They were just used to do the ports right? That would be a deal breaker for me.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Just Add Water did a great job with Stranger's Wrath HD. I have faith in them. This is being developed for multiple platforms. We don't know which ones yet though.

 

[SparkTR]

Nice, would like to know what they're doing with Hand of Odd as well.

 

[bomma_man]

e3 redeemed

 

[Ze_Pershing]

Hallelujah!!!

That just made my day.. I love me some new Abe. In the light of this beautiful news I will play some Oddysee tonight!

 

[Always-honest]

GOOD TIMING

 

[yurinka]

Wasn't this already confirmed months ago?

 

[Acquiescence]

That's pretty spiffing news. Hope they capture the spirit of the games and translate that to current-gen. It's got to really feel like PS1 Abe's Oddysee or it's not worth it.

 

[Schobeleth]

Wonder if this will be PSN only?

 

[Dr_Biscuit]

Glad to see him comes back.

 

[Withnail]

Hope this doesn't mean they've cancelled the HD update, they recently said it was close to release.

Doesn't mean a lot at this point though, Stranger's Wrath HD was made for 360 but MS refused it. LOL.
