Oddworld New ‘n’ Tasty Story Trailer Released
Fans of the Oddworld franchise will know exactly how New ‘n’ Tasty is made, but that won’t stop the hair on the back of your neck from standing up when you watch this rather excellent trailer for Spring 2014’s Abe’s Oddysee remake. “I thought I had a good job…”
It’s interesting to see how well the folks at Just Add Water have kept to the original art style. This is almost certainly how it would have looked had the original Oddworld game been made today, and I’m not sure there’s any bigger praise than that. The developers just get Oddworld. In doing so, they manage to polish and improve without ever straying too far away from what made the franchise so special in the first place.
That’s why this trailer is so exciting. It’s the same voice, (almost) the same lines… If you were around for the PS1 days, you need to watch.
Alongside the trailer was the not-quite-specific-enough release date of Spring 2014. This isn’t unusual for digital titles, which tend to not have release dates for months or even weeks in advance, but I think I speak for many of us when I say I want to know when I’ll have this for my PS4. There are a few new screens as well, which you can check out over at the PlayStation Blog.
