I still have both games for the PS1 somewhere along with Heart of Darkness. Day 1 for me. I can't wait. It's been a long time coming. Congrats JAW.

Any news on when the vita version will be out? Are we talking weeks later? Or 6 months later? Or next year?

At the least do you guys have a time window in which you expect the other versions to be released?

Can't wait for this. First thing I'm gonna do is press that sweet, sweet fart button.

God that new control scheme is gonna fuck me over so hard. It's gonna take some real effort to not instictively press the buttons the original used.

Man I hope the $30.00 price tag doesnt hurt this game too much. Would love to see them keep remaking the old ones, or start making new ones.

Sadly we couldn't get pre-orders up and running in Europe. We did everything we could and ended up with the option to get the DLC for free if you're a Plus subscriber and you download it in the first two weeks - http://www.oddworld.com/2014/07/new-n-tastys-uk-european-quikbuy-details/

Not yet, sorry. We want to ensure each version is the best it can be, as soon as we have a date we'll announce it, but we don't want to do that yet until we're sure we can get the best out of each system.

On my VITA on my desk ;-)
In seriousness, we're in the middle of the who QA submission process right now with it, but I wanted to concentrate on getting New 'n' Tasty DONE and out before getting it 100%
So close.

When they showed this at e3 2013 it immediately became my most anticipated PS4 title. I thought it would have been out sooner, but now that it's right around the corner I can't wait.

Vita was gonna be my main platform for this. Crossbuy was the cherry on top cause I also wanted to TRY it on ps4. If the vita version comes out in the next 2 months or so, I don't mind spending the cash now to get the pre order bonuses.Not yet, sorry. We want to ensure each version is the best it can be, as soon as we have a date we'll announce it, but we don't want to do that yet until we're sure we can get the best out of each system.
BUT if it's gonna take 6 months or more to get the Vita version out, it'd be better off waiting and there might even be a sale or something in the meantime.
What should I do helmet?

Loved the original Odyssey (and Exoddus) on the PlayStation. Hell, even my mum used to pay Abe's Odyssey.. that's how good it was!

I'm in the same boat but since it's cross buy I'm just gonna get the PS4 version now for the free DLC. Hopefully the Vita version isn't too far off. Hey there's always remote play.
Wish I could go back in time and tell my 15 year old self not to worry about OddWorld's future. I bought Stranger's Wrath Day 1 and was devastated when they announced OWI was closing down shop a few months later. It felt like a childhood friend had moved away.
Years would transpire, yet things never felt quite the same. The great thing about this medium is that it allows Fiction to live, more so than books or movies. I had not read about OddWorld or passively seen it, I had explored it; Rupture Farms, the Damn in SW all felt alive to me. It was like the bridge to that world was gone and that bothered me for years.
But time has taught me to have hope. This is the first "new" OW game in 9 years with the oppertunity for an all new installment to follow based on success. Things end, but they also comeback.
In a world that has grown mundane, it's great to see the return of something Odd!

It's great that they priced it at £17.99/ 20.99 to match the price of the American version, too many companies do $1= £1.
I'm really not happy with the way the "free" DLC is being handled though, needing a PS+ subscription is wrong.
To make matters worse it seems that PS3 and/or Vita owners without a PS4 still need to purchase the PS4 version within two weeks if they want the DLC, I know it's cross-buy but it's still not right having buy a game before it's even available for your preferred system.
I think the offer should be extended to the launch window of the PS3 and Vita versions.

I can't really say as I'll get an ass kicking...
But we have already said that the DLC in the pre-order is coming to all platforms and there will be similar opportunities for the CrossBuy platforms.

GoldenHelmet

Hmmmm Not really, the "DLC" will be available for all platforms when those platforms get released, and whilst we've not confirmed anything yet, I think it would be a safe bet to say we are looking at similar ops when that does happen.

Thanks for answering.
That must mean that we'll have to wait till the store updates in the 23rd, or is any chance that will be available at 0am the 23rd like other games like inFAMOUS?
Can you tell us the size of the download?

Thanks for answering at least. I want to support u guys so I may just go ahead and get it now. Like another poster said, there's always remote play.
Which btw, will remote play have it's own custom control scheme? Does it work well?
Oh OK, that sounds better, it really didn't sound like that in the link I posted.
Thanks for the quick response.

Who or what is this? Looks a bit like Stranger, only buffer and more dangerous.
Anyway, looking forward to this. I appreciate Stewart that you can't yet comment on when they Vita version will be out, but that's when I'll be buying this. I hope it's not too long a wait!

Yes remote play is included.
We are using "Control Scheme D" which is L2 and R2 mapped mapped to the top corners of the screen, and the PS4 Touchpad is mapped to the centre of the touch screen.

Wait are you saying that devs have to choose between preset control schemes for their games for remote play? They can't make their own custom control schemes? Because I would have expected remote play controls to be identical to what the actual Vita version is going to use, which I doubt is simply a couple functions being on the top corner of the screen.
And of course if it is just devs choosing between preset control schemes for remote play then I don't understand why Sony don't simply allow the player to choose between them themselves at system level.

Great job on the OP

You can, but since we're powered by Unity, there is/was no option to allow us to separately define these if RemotePlay is active. There is now, but we locked down a while back.
Anyway, lots more info here.

I think we worked it out that a new player doing a 100% playthrough would be 15+ hours
