Oddworld Strangers Wrath remake [PSN]

[Neon Ignition]

I'm guessing it'll be like the PS1 games then. I know they have their strong fans but that makes me

It was never going to happen but a game based on the ideas of Strangers Wrath would have been AMAZE

Unfortunately games like Strangers Wrath (perfect storms) are always one off's never to be repeated by either imitators or the original teams.

Hopefully one day we will at least get an hd update for ps3 and 360, its the least they can do for a game that most gamers should experience but probably haven't.


Whatever happened to Lorne Lanning? didn't he go into the movie industry?

Nice. I never actually completed this (If memory serves I got stuck at a time limited section right before the final encounter) so I'm looking forward to giving it another go.

Hooray! If you asked me what game I most regret missing on Xbox, I'd probably say this.


And finally some good news for PSN... this almost makes up for PSN getting shafted on the new Bangai-O. And missing out on Limbo.

Almost.

SUCH an awesome game.

Won't buy it again as I treasure my XBrick copy. But great news for those who missed it the first time around.

Looks like it might not be exclusive. That implies to me that they're at least working on a 360 version.

I just let out a bit of sex wee when i saw this news. Great news for everyone

[Uli]

this going to be a full remake including additional or different content or more a HD conversion?

Wasn't this announced as coming to Steam ages ago? Or did I just dream that? The guy in Number45's link said he knew nothing about a PC version but I seem to remember hearing about it.

Edit: Google tells me it's being released on PC in Winter 2009. Well, I don't think that happened.

[Number45]

I wonder if Oddworld Inhabitants are still working on it in house? They initially said they were going to release all four on the PC and patch Steam achievements to the earlier games (Which are already on Steam apparently), but with Strangers Wrath coming to at least PS3 as a separate title I wonder if it'll be released separately now?

I think the timing of the PSN announcement is purely because the Move is due soon, so it builds interest. I imagine it'll come to both (Or all three) at the same time.

Note: This is 100% speculation.

First details of shots of the higher spec characters have been released by JustAddWater. As expected they've now confirmed that there is also a 360 version but the size of the game is causing the holdup at the moment although I'd be surprised if Microsoft didn't let them release it at some point.

On XBLA there is a 2 GigaByte size limit we have to adhere to, currently the title weighs in at 2.1GB and that is without any updates, so either we have to pull a miracle out of the bag with some type of amazing compression system, or ask Microsoft to increase their 2GB limit, however this limit is apparently hardware led, so please let us try and make a miracle happen.

That does seem abit weird, I mean Lara Croft and the GOL is 2Gb, and there is more stuff coming for it, so cant really see MS being that strict on it, but who knows. Plus the PES demo was over 2Gb.

[Number45]

2GB is under the limit though (And I believe DLC is considered separate), 2.1GB isn't. And a quick Google suggests the PES demo was less than 2GB (~1.3GB)?

PC version is out later today.

They have released a free sampler cd today.
