"PS4 seems like a fantastic system, we’ve had kits for a while, and it is as people say, incredibly easy to develop for, as it is a lot closer to a PC system than ever before. Some of the ideas Sony have for the way it all works are truly inspiring and we are happy to be working with them again."
17 years after its initial release, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has returned -- and has never been better than this.
Garethvk:
Here is a look at the new HD version of the game played on a PS5. I am not a fan of the camera system which makes viewing in third person harder than it should be but the game looks great otherwise.
I liked the game back when it was released, especially the squirrel-gun of course (were they squirrels? Not sure) and the other weapons, and some fun enemies. A genuinely original game, but I doubt I’ll bother with the remaster. When you look at the textures they really feel low-res and outdated.
Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee and Exoddus on PS1/PC are 10/10 phenomenal. Munch’s Oddysee is a 7, Stranger is a 6, New and Tasty is also a 6, and SoulStorm is sadly a 3. I’m a massive Oddworld fan and I have been incredibly disappointed with the series after the original two titles.
Neil writes: "For many the mere mention of an Oddworld game ushers up memories of Abe and Munch, even more so after the recent release of the brilliant Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition. But there's more to this universe and some seventeen years ago Stranger rocked up to deliver his wrath to the OG Xbox. It's fair to say it didn't go down as well as expected. Now though he's back, as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD hits Xbox and PlayStation."
Excellent game. It was a bad decision not to launch on PlayStation initially.
I have it on PC, but highly recommend those with a Playstation or Xbox to give this one a go. Great game.
Ok, good game, i finished it on og Xbox, PSVita and PS3. But... enough, wasn't it better if they made a part 2 or something?
Shame, PS5 and XBSX could have easily ran this at 120fps. Even if they targeted a lower resolution like 1440p or 1800p still would have been worth it.
I can run this thing 1440p 60fps on a rig I have with a now ancient 680 in it. The Series S should be able to do 4k 60, 1440 120 with no issue.
Sonys back in full force with majority of developers backing them gonna be alot like PS1/PS2 days onslaught of games.
@GribbleGrunger-True competition is alot stronger than before but Sony has a advantage with the easy to develop hardware,great relationships with developers,brand recognition.Ball is there court just how well they market the PS4 something they been lacking with this generation.
If this is true why the hell games for ps4 cost 50 pounds,not 40?
sony musta been on the charm offensive when meeting and conversing with devs over the past 8 months or longer. Most devs seem extremely positive...maybe its just relief they dont have to learn something foreign again either way its all good.
I just can't wait to see the realism of a fart/giggle button in next-gen definition.
