Man, what a great OP !

I don't know if I'm getting this day one, but I will currently get it . Love the world of Oddworld and really enjoyed playing Strangers Wrath, so it will be great to experence this PlayStation 1 Classic in amazing HD visuals and refined gameplay .

Its great to see really classics like this get the remake treatment; I'm sure some people missed out on this during the PS1 days (and PS3 days too; I don't know if the game did well as a PS Classic on PSN or not :l), so this is the perfect way to experence the first Oddworld game .

Alf's Escape.
Story content starring a different character.

What is the dlc?

Nice OP, but you forgot the DLC.

The details for this will be up on the OP soonish.
In the meantime

This next week is going to be very very long... Heading into the Temples of Paramonia and Scrabania is going to be amazing!

Recommending that everyone play the game on Hard mode from the start, play the game as it was originally intended!

 

[Haines]

Bought on the first sale that comes. Loves the original but never beat it as I was too young to get a full grasp of the game.

 

[thebigmanjosh]

Love the look of the remake. Can't wait to play it next week

 

[DanteGhost]

Guys, guys claiming this avatar. Let me know if anyone else already has it to change it.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

very awesome (and hilarious OT)

well done

New and Hasty trophy: get good ending and beat best developer time

i can sense this trophy will be a bitch to obtain

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Good OP. Very excited for this game!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It's happening.

 

[PolarGamer]

One of the nicest looking OPs I've seen for a while. Makes me want the game even more! Chanting with happiness.

 

[Blues1990]

It needs to sell 250k for Abe's Exoddus to happen. 500k will mean that a completely new entry in the series happens.

Hmmm.... Challenge accepted!

 

[TheAdmiester]

I wish the release dates were a bit more consistent. The release on the 22nd isn't for a platform I can actually get the game for.

 

[farmerboy]

Missed this back in the day and am totally hell bent on rectifying that situation. Looking forward to getting this on ps4.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Great game, great OT. Probably my third most hyped game this year, behind Destiny and Sunset Overdrive.

 

[Revolutionary]

Really looking forward to this. Loved the original but it was very difficult, and I don't remember if I ever finished it. I know I got pretty far, though.

 

[DanteGhost]

Just pre-ordered it. Had no idea this was releasing next week. Pretty excited.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Yup they are just saying other versions will follow. I hope other platforms do not wait that long for this game.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Amazing op for an amazing game

 

[reptilescorpio]

I really really really hope they don't slap an Australia tax on this, super keen to replay it all over again!

 

[plutoknight]

Nabbing this I can not wait for this. Hyped beyond hype.

 

[jerry1594]

Just bought the original and Exodus. Oh well.

 

[mattp]

Great OT, the fake box-art makes me wish that there'd be a physical release.

yup
i scrolled past it and got excited for a second because i thought i somehow missed that there's a physical release
oh well haha

 

[bumpkin]

First game that I have ever done a digital pre-order for. No chance in hell I wasn't going to though. Love the series, glad it's back.

Funny story, I actually interviewed Lorne at E3 1999 (I think?) and got to mess around with an early build of Munch running on a PS2 debug unit. I was pretty crushed when they went MS exclusive, but I'll never forget how nice and cool he was.

 

[freethoughtbubble]

Can't wait for this to come out on Wii U. I have always -- ALWAYS -- been so damn curious about this game. Remember flipping through GamePro walkthroughs, admiring the art, and just wondering what it played like. Now I'll get my chance to find out, hopefully

Great OT, OP!

 

[ElTopo]

Would really like a release date for PC...

Like that the controls have been improved. Some of those jumps in the original games were fucking brutal.

 

[Robot Pants]

Updated with QuikBuy bonus info

 

[N30RYU]

OP, what about the 60fps? Should be added in "Video new"

 

[Liamario]

OP, what about the 60fps? Should be added in "Video new"

Indeed.

For the love of god younger gamers. This game is an all time classic and now it'll look fantastic for 2014. Please try and buy it or at least play it. There's more to video games than FPSs.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Hello.

 

[Shengar]

What? Both Scarab and Paramite are chantable? Is this a change from New 'n' Tasty?

 

[nycgamer4ever]

That is a fantastic OT.

 

[PranooY]

Nice OT.

 

[Robot Pants]

What? Both Scarab and Paramite are chantable? Is this a change from New 'n' Tasty?

No that's a mistake I made that was pointed out to me earlier. Fixing now. Sorry :/

On it.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Can't wait for this. Odysee and Exodus had such a surreal atmosphere to me back when I was a kid playing them. I love the dark tones covered with a great splash of hilarity.

Day 1. Hopefully they do exodus after if sales go well for this! Or a completely new one

 

[Shengar]

No that's a mistake I made that was pointed out to me earlier. Fixing now. Sorry :/

Chantable Scarab and Paramite are too OP, and that's feel so wrong

 

[Danielsan]

Always wanted to play these games ever since the original PS1 demo, but never did. I will totally pick this up.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Man I used to play the hell of out of this game as a kid. Once A PC release dates is announced I'm on it.

 

[AllenShrz]

Pre Ordered.

 

[TheKingOfPain]

Awesome OP, next week is still so far *ugh*

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Sorry if I'm being a bit dense but how are people pre-ordering?! I can't find it. Buying it from PSN btw.

 

[MoGamesXNA]

.

 

[Robot Pants]

Did anyone else read the OT in Abe's voice?

I never made it more than a couple of hours into it originally. I'm looking forward to revisiting it this gen. It's a shame that there isn't a retail release

I'm curious if anyone is getting the reference to Jay-Z 99 Problems in regards to the OT title.

 

[KingSnake]

Can't wait to play this. I liked so much the original. I'll get the Wii U version whenever that comes.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Waiting for this for a while now, can't wait to replay this in it's all new glory. Have not touched the originals in over 15 years, will be an interesting replay! I want Exodus aswell!

 

[derdriu]

It looks great! Can't wait for this.
I got it for chritsmas the year it was released along with the playstation but no memory card (santa didn't know) and kept the playstation on the whole time until I finished the game. So much fun. The sound of the sligs always freaked me out though.

 

[Halo 2]

Sweet I had no idea this was so close to release.

 

[FuKuy]

Very excited about this game. The remake work is wonderful. I hope the STEAM version doesn't delay too much.

 

[KeRaSh]

Day one (preorder) here. Managed to 100% the original with a friend a few years back and it was just as good as it was back in the days. This game aged extremely well and 'Tasty will be even better.

Great OT.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

This seems questionable. Thought that was this game until I read it's by the Zeno Clash people and got confused for a while. It seems they intended to go for a punny homage title, but what with Tasty being out in a week, that one is landing them in some murky water I think.

On the bright side, there's a new game by the Zeno Clash people!

 

[Neuromancer]

So, the DLC mission with Alf... Is it integrated in the game, or is it completely separate? (As in, accessed via a menu)?
