Oddworld: New n Tasty priced at $30 (250,000 sales for Exodus remake greenlight)

I was buying this no matter what. People have to remember this is a full blown, top to bottom, from scratch, full 3D remake of the original game. This isn't some up ported, resed up, half assed retouched re-release. Oh no. A lot of work went into this.

You motherfuckers better buy this. 250K sales across all those platforms should be a cake walk. Exoddus needs to happen. It must happen.

I'll support this full remake for $30. Anything that can lead this guys to getting more work and possibly new games.

Yep agreed. The game was worth 40-50 when it was first released. Getting it now with a new coat of paint for 30 is a good deal IMO.

I like you :-)
 
Oh wow. I'm sorry but a remake of a game I already own was going to be a hard sell at half that price. Yeah there's no way I'm getting it until a significant price drop. It's not because it's 2d. It's not because it's downloadable. It's because it's just a prettier version of a game I already own. And one I paid a hell of a lot less for I might add. If it was a remake on the level of Tomb Raider Anniversary or REmake it would be different. But it isn't. The actual level design is pretty much unchanged. If it was at impulse buy territory I might have bought it just purely to support the devs, but that's too much just for that.

But I will say this. Release a NEW Oddworld game at that price and I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Or simply change the Exoddus thing. Instead of funding an Exoddus remake with the money you make from this, fund a new Oddworld game instead. Promise that instead of an Exoddus remake and I'll buy the Oddysee remake. I won't spend that much just to support another potential remake of a game I already own, but I will spend that much just to support a potential new game.

Thank you. I suggest carpet bombing this thread with screens and YouTube links just to prove how much work was involved in the presentation. People need to know, this isn't a remaster. It isn't some port with some filters and shit. It's a complete remake. I'm a huge Oddworld fan and I want to see this project succeed.

You guys shown and proved how to do a proper remake. Your work is absolutely stunning. I'm getting it on PS4 the minute it is up on PSN.

I want a new game too, but don't skip Exoddus. It's the better game.
 
It's a true REmake, and as such its well worth the $30 being asked I think.
Don't understand the math of cost though.
 
$20 seems like the sweet spot for this game.

I hope it does well, I'll probably be getting it if it's priced accordingly on UK PSN.

Anyway, it's unlikely but i'd really like for someone to try to get the rights to Heart of Darkness and remake that. That's another amazing game in a similar style to the Oddworld series. And I still have no idea how that game received an E rating. No way in hell that would happen today.
Click to expand...

this is the game made by the "Another world" creator right? I always wanted to play this game but never was able to when I was a kid. A remake would be so sweet but most likely won't happen. /sad

speaking of Another world, I always felt that universe would be fucking awesome in a movie.

Is Munch HD coming to PC soon?

Munch on Steam is fucking broken as shit and has been for years.....it pisses me off so much. the odd world team "apparently promised" (dont know if they did) the PC folk that it would release on steam shortly after it was released on PS3. Munch HD on ps3 came out almost a year and a half ago....

the last most have heard is that the PC version isn't going to happen.

<Edit> just googled it, oddworld team never promised it coming to PC it seems, guess all the people on the oddworld munch steam forums just assumed it being that the current munch is broken to shit.

<Ediiiiittt>

Oh no, they did promise the steam users VIA tho forum which is probably why everyone was expecting it...

"We have NOT released the VITA version yet, it's currently scheduled internally for March.

The PS3 version has only been released in English so far, which we are currently patching up before moving to dedicated FIGS versions of it on PS3.

We are HOPING to have Munch HD PC April time."

That was Jan 2013....


Then in October 2013, they said this on the official site.... "Regarding Munch HD on PC &#8211; we&#8217;re not currently targeting the platform, but may be looking to do so in the future"

WHAT DA HELL....

Well, in theory, an Exodus remake would be cheaper since a fair bit of the assets could be used again (plus the engine is already there.). So 250k seems like a good figure for them.

They'll hit it. And fairly quick, I imagine.
 
I'll be buying this on PS4. The original was one of my all-time favorite PS1 games. I think it would sell a lot more copies at $20, but have no problem spending $30 myself.

Yeah, Eric Chahi was one of the designers. The game actually ended up selling pretty well (1.5m), but it was in development from 1992-1998. So, even those those numbers back then weren't good enough and the studio ended up going bankrupt.

Yeah we NEVER said we'd get Munch HD on to PC.

The company we sub-contracted the coding to on PS3/VITA have taken 30 months LONGER than they were contracted for to get those versions done, so right now I don't want to give them ANY other work.

I would LOVE to get HD on PC and if we have the bandwidth internally when NnT has gone gold then we WILL get it done.

Sorry, but I can't be fairer than that right now.

Considering that part of why KH 1.5 took so long is because most of the assets had to be remade in HD because they didn't have them anymore; considering how much new VA is in both, I think it's a fair comparison. It does still skew in the direction of NAT but not nearly as much as you think it does.

Lets look at screens of KH1 vs 1.5 and Abe's Oddysee vs. N&T.

And Oddworld was an incredibly good looking game for the time. Comparing the two games is bullshit, one is still just a remaster the other is full on remake. It's not as if they massively improved the assets, they just recreated them to higher resolution than the PS2 version. Pretty sure there's more than two programmers working on New and Tasty and the graphics are a much bigger upgrade, but GoldenHelmet would need to confirm on team size. The gameplay will also be changed a great deal by side scrolling (Final Mix's improvements were done years ago), and my guess is a lot of the secrets will be changed because of the new gameplay / just to keep things fresh.

Also it's not like KH1.5HD is two full priced HD games. Re:CoM was a half-price budget title and remake and 358/2 is cinematics (and not very exciting ones at that). Most of the $40 from the HD Collection is going toward KH1. New N Tasty is far more work, a much bigger graphical leap and a bigger shift in gameplay than KH1, at roughly the same value. Hope you didn't buy it, you would've been ripped off. =P

I'm talking in counting old assets/art as cost for this game, those assets were used in previous games and therefor already recouped its cost did they not?

btw, in regards to munch not working on PC, I'm talking about the steam version. The non steam version works fine apparently, but the version for steam is broken to hell.

so yea...please fix? I would be so happy.
 
If this is cross buy w PS4 and Vita I'll buy at $30 day 1.
real reason is because I can't decide what platform I want to play this on

If not I'm gonna have to wait. I'm sorry :(
But I will buy it eventually. This game has always intrigued me.

I know there are some fans here that say it's worth it at $30 but since I've never played it I can't say for sure for myself.

How long is the game?
 
30$ is not expensive at all if the final product doesn't have problems.

This is one of the best psx games, and this edition is not a lazy HD thing but a total remake.

Now let's hope the continuous scroll works good with the gameplay.
 
Graphics certainly look appetizing enough.

Is it known if the game has been streamlined in any way? Things like simplified level layouts, easier problems, objective markers, more obvious secrets, etc..
 
Looking at the screens this is a full on remake. It's not a shitty uprezzed remaster.

That price is good for such a caliber of care. C'mon, do we really want only cheap uprezzed jobs?
 
I think the price is right. Is the game guaranteed to release on WiiU? It's the only next-gen console I own at the moment. What's the intended release date?
 
hawk2025 said:
Exactly.

I have absolutely no problems with this price, and I hope that other people also support it. It looks like a brilliant remake, from a group of passionate devs that really need the sales. I'm not saying we as customers are in the business of charity necessarily, but this kind of mid-tier pricing is something that needs to be experimented with to keep the industry going.

My thoughts summed up right here. You have my $30 Mr Lanning!

There were 2 sets of teams on Munch PC... The first was based in the Ukraine, the 2nd was the team we hired to do Munch HD on PS3/VITA.

As you can see we did NOT commit to any dates ;)
 
I just read that if the game reaches 500k sales they guarantee a new Oddworld game after the Exoddus remake. Ok, I'll support the devs just for that. I'll bite the bullet and buy it at that price to help insure that new Oddworld game.

Could somebody update the title with this? It seems pretty important. Easily missable for those of us that didn't bother to read the OP properly...

Very close, I have a next to final build in my possession now, there is some screen texts to fix for touch, but that's it.

I'm aiming to have it in Sony FQA within 3 weeks.
