Why did they mess up the Oddworld franchise so much after Abe's Exoddus? I know that Stranger's Wrath is supposedly a good game and I do remember thinking it was decent at least when I played it but it was still such a massive departure from the first two games in the series. I also heard Munch's Oddysee had a very troubled development. Then there is New 'n' Tasty being an inferior remake of Abe's Oddysee.

Anyone have the details on what went wrong here? Any hope the Exoddus remake will even be good? Also Oddworld thread.

Just stick with the first two and you can't go wrong.

What's wrong with New 'n' tasty exactly? I only found the biggest issue to be the difficulty, which is why I set it to the hardest one which kills you instantly. unless I'm thinking that up, but I'm certain it's there

I guess it wasn't easy to pitch sidescrolling cinematic platformers during that particular window of them. Didn't someone try to pull the old "bankrupt you and buy you out" move on them for a while, leading to Lorne taking his ball and dropping out of the industry?

Seems to me it was a series originally built on the charm of pre-rendered graphics.

Pre-rendered is a bit like stop-motion in that it works best when used in a style that's a bit dark, weird and offbeat. But also in that just because its an antiquated technology doesn't mean it's not without its charm (I think that's part of why FNAF got popular). Devs basically went "we can render all this in real-time now" without asking themselves whether that actually makes it look any better. This applies to not only new and tasty remake but also the games where they tried to do things in real-time.

The creator wanted to make an Oddworld franchise with different games centering around different characters but within the same setting, alas, he made the mistake in dealing with the shit heads of EA.

The artistry of the first two games runs deeper than the conventions of pre-rendered graphics and cinematic platforming. I don't think, even if Munch's Oddysee had been made in the style of the first two, that anyone would have liked the designs of the Fuzzles or Meep.

>I also heard Munch's Oddysee had a very troubled development. Then there is New 'n' Tasty being an inferior remake of Abe's Oddysee.

At least on the part of New 'n' Tasty you can mostly lay the blame on Just Add Water.

I think you mean Microsoft, at least first. They didn't start dealing with EA until Stranger's Wrath if memory serves.

The original graphics remind me a lot of either a cartoon, or a comicbook, I just love those graphics, are there anymore games with similar graphics? Somehow they resonate greatly with me.

Not the same style but Comix Zone is meant to look like a comic. Many games of that time use pre-rendered graphics, Twinsen's Odyssey has those and some 3d as well, it's comfy as fuck.

I already know about Comix Zone, but I wasn't asking about games with comic like graphics, I'm asking for games with similar graphics to Abe's odyssey.

EA held the IP in hostage while telling Lorne to just shut up and leave, then the studio died and he went 4-5 years not making a game. He specifically blamed EA's shit advertising campaign for the low sales of the game and death of the studio.

If you mean pre-rendered then there's plenty of that shit on Playstation.

Take a look at Heart of Darkness, The Neverhood, and even Resident Evil 1-3.

just by looking at the trailer you can tell they fell for the muh graphix meme, the remake has bloom and bloor with hdr that makes the intro sequence a whole lot brighter in comparison to the original with the darker lighting the original had, it also has poor choice of texturing, the psx release has, rust everywhere, putrid greens and dark metal, the remake just has green fog and flies for atmosphere, i mean look at the picture, can you fucking read the sign on the right without looking at the original? every is so brightly lit you would thing a FOXCOM slave factory would cut corners by not having miniature suns in their facility.

Munch's Oddysee was GOAT

Lorne wants the Exoddus remake to be darker than exoddus turned out to be, so maybe theres some hope.
