At Sony’s E3 2013 Press Conference, they announced the indie developers Oddworld Inhabitants and Just Add Water‘s HD remake of the classic Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee will be making its way onto the PlayStation 4. Fans of the series will remember playing this classic on their PC or PlayStation in 1997. Check out some of the screenshots of the remake and their E3 trailer of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee New N’ Tasty:"
Lorne Lanning the brains of Oddworld and Stewart Gilray, the head honcho at developers J.A.W. agreed to answer some of our (and our forum members) questions for your reading pleasure. Here are the results.
OXM UK: "It's digital distribution that's allowed Lanning to bring back the heroic underdog. The longer plan is to finish the five-part Oddysee - there are as many unfinished games in the series as there are complete. We hope there's an audience for this - if not, this might not be the industry we thought it was."
Everything about ODDWORLD = WIN for me. The look, game play the A.I> is way ahead of it's time. It has aged really well, but with this new HD update the game will be even better visually.
I cannot wait for the new game to appear, it's been almost 8 year's since Strangers wrath, a top 5 original XBOX game for me.
Anyone that has missed this game should really look into getting this, it's a true classic in my book...
Really looking forward to this game. I played this game so much as a kid. Will definitely get this day one.
The conference began with creator Lorne Lanning discussing the process of making the original Abe games. He described the idea as being similar to a band, a creative project rather than a money making scheme like so many other franchises.
Me too. I always dreamed about this and Soul Reaver getting re-released.
I thought this was going to be a simple HD update version when they first announced it, and I was still super excited for it.
Now, it looks so beautiful. They have completely re-done the graphics, and now it looks like the best side-scroller ever. I don't buy many games day 1, but this I am not missing out on for a second.
Looks fantastic love the Oddworld series
Its coming to PS3 , PS Vita and PC too on Holiday 2013
