gutted about this ,I thought it was getting released on xbox live arcade? absolutely loved the original to bits . anyone know why it seems to be only getting a ps release now?

That article doesnt say that particularly does it? Just that its getting a PS4 release. Follow Me!

I got the Oddworld bundle on Steam a few years ago and still haven't been able to get every Mudokan.

Pfffthhwwwt! Heh heh!

It's PS4 initially, with Xbox versions coming later in the year supposedly. Not sure if it's an exclusivity deal so much as just a small studio wanting to focus on one launch at a time, seems like the latter.

Really looking forward to it, one of the greats of its time and will be nice to revisit.

Ooh Oddworld, never finish the original games as one mission was with correct the audio sounds and I am Deaf!

[Grugz]

you also missed out on lots of farts

I just brought the Odd-Box on Steam and remember I started play on, but never completed the first game, not long after it's first distribution.

But, damn, my missing hard-drive....

I can't install any of them yet, but they are mine.

I also remember eading years ago they were going to do an abe movie shame that never appeared.

I'm really looking forward to this, though I don't own a next-gen console yet. Some previews mentioned that they have had to alter the gameplay a bit as it's all smooth-scrolling now rather than flick-panning each time you leave the screen.

I do kind of hope they've also made the game a bit easier/less frustrating - not sure I'd have the patience to play it exactly as it was - don't think I ever came anywhere close to finishing it even back in the day.

I'm thinking the same about the Halo collection that's coming out. I remember Halo 2's campaign as being a bit of pig - lots of nasty difficulty spikes that made Legendary mode all but impossible to complete (spent hours trying to beat that bloody hangar on the first level).

[Grugz]

for me it was the last level of halo I could never drive the damn vehicles!

Didn't realize they'd done away with the single screen gameplay, makes sense but I think I'll miss it a bit! There was something nice about having a screen at a time to deal with, I think my mind found something about the segmented nature of things like Abe and Another World oddly soothing.

Goaty - being deaf how do you go about dropping a silent but deadly? Like are you aware that it's a quiet one or do you just let her rip and hope for the best?

Cheers - a genuinely curious GC
