Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Review 

Oddworld is one of the most underrated series of all time. I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH

For those of you who were discouraged because of the controls being on the analongs don't be because an update released a while back allowing old school controls.

Good review! But he didn't mention that there is an option to switch off the "always run" function. You can set your running controls to the way they were in the original. And that was his only real criticism of the game!

I love how they've even kept so much of the original music

I can't believe it's been 17 years since I played the original, I feel so old!

Abe is a nearly forgotten hero of my 90s childhood :) love this game and I am very happy to play this now again in HD

Oddworld was probably one of the more interesting fictional worlds I've ever experienced. I want to see more.

17 years ago. Fuck that makes me feel old.

Ah I loved that game on the PS1, might have to buy this for the nostalgia factor.

Brings back a lot of memories 1997 can't believe it's been many years.

whos here after its free on epic?

Would rather the original any day of the week. Better control, art style and just feel in general. Something felt off about this game from start to finish for me. Don't get me wrong I did enjoy it and hopefully it revives an excellent series, but it was too fast paced. In the original you get time to appreciate the art and environment.

Who else is here from the epic games store?

my mom played this years ago, i wanna surprise her with this XD

It's funny, but even with the updated visuals, I instantly recognise all the environments from the original game. In that regard, nothing's really changed; of course, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Some of the features from Abe's Exoddus have crept into the remake, too, I notice. 300 mudokons to rescue, compared to the original's 99. Quicksaving, I remember, was the main thing that made Exoddus easier than Oddysee. I wonder what they'd do with an Exoddus remake... ? Definitely picking this game up :)

Amazing series, so atmospheric, didnt know they'd remade this, loved the first oddworld game & abes exodus

I loved this series. I hope it comes to the xbone... if not enjoy it PS4 peeps

I'm glad this game wasn't simply called "Oddworld".

This well thought out review video is spot on. It's gorgeous to look at, amazing to play and feels so familiar to the original I played so many years ago on my original Playstation. It was one of those Playstation games like Wipeout that truly gave you something you'd never seen or experienced before, and it's remarkable how well the original Oddworld's graphics and sound still look fresh. You absolutely, positively have to play this game. Oddworld; Abe's Odyssey is a genuine masterpiece and an unforgettable gaming experience.

Do you have to use the analog control for movement and not the D-pad? If so, I'll just play it on the keyboard.

One of the best games of my childhood. The graphics look beautiful and IF i ever do purchase a PS4, this game is on my list!

Childhood memories, PERFECTLY remastered, the way a game should be remastered! I still love it so much

First, a city builder. Now, a 3d platform game. What's next, Epic?

Brilliant game, loved it back in 1997 can't wait to get this :-)

Even as a remake, I still think it's the best game I played all year. Hopefully they get enough people to at least remake the sequel, if not then a completely new game.

This type of 2.5d animation is really how they should have done Munch's Oddysee.

The only gripe I have is the movement on the analog stick, but it's countered by sneaking if you want to make precise movements. An 8 is a fair score

IGN probably gave this a 0.2/10 because it wasn't CoD or GTA.

I can't help but want a complete remake of Stranger's Wrath with these graphics. Other than characters with the same voices, Stranger's Wrath was one of the best and most unique games I ever played. I loved just controlling Stranger- it felt SO GOOD when he'd break into a sprint and galloped across the landscape. Glad Oddworld is back. Gladly bought this. Anything to get away from the endless slog of shooters and indies too focused on being some ridiculous "arthouse" experience rather than just being a good, fun game to play.

This was my favorite game as a kid.

as a child growing up. this game use to make me crack up

Amazing , i still have cd ost of Abe Odisse PlayStation, give on magazine French Joypad

wow pretty good advertising. Its been out since july and I had no idea

Oddworld abes oddyssey was 1 of the best games for ps1, I absolutely luv the new n tasty remake it brings back a lot of good memories.

I definitely prefer the original. I suppose I would say that though growing up with it. My parents and I love the 2 originals and have played them since they were released. The remake just doesn't have the same feel. Splitting the environment into frames added to the feel of the game, because you didn't know what was coming up next and really had to plan, especially because it was a flat screen and you had to really search for the bonus levels. Ahh well...

I remember staying up late watching my dad play this on PC when I was a kid. Sucks that it's not coming to the 360.

When does release?

now remake Heart of Darkness.

This is one of the reasons I absolutely live Playstation Now. I may never have even knew that a upgrade of one of my favorite games existed. Now, not only do I know that it's a thing, but I get to play it for very close to free.

Anyone knows what the hell happened to the pc and xbox 360 version of this game?? Cause Im looking for them like crazy. All what I can found are only ps4 walkthroughs on youtube.

Can you get this game as a physical copy for PS3 or can you only get it on the Playstation Store on PS3?

you can change the controlls to classic mode

Odd world and Earthworm Jim two of the best

is it 60fps on consoles?

Yep same as old one, looks awesome

I loved this game as a kid!

This looks pretty cool. Is this a full-priced retail game?

Wow I need it. Must have it now

I might get this. I always wanted the PS1 game as a kid but never could get it because my Walmart didn't sell it and ordering games online wasn't a thing back then.

Something I liked about the old camera but yeah this wouldnt of worked without changing it

Loved this game. Can't believe it's 20yrs old now. Didn't they make 2 of these games right? I take it this is just the first one?

I remember this game, i am buying this lots of fun times trying to beat it!

why haven't they made a new one yet?

It's crazy to think that the in game graphics or just as good if not better then the original game's CGI cut scenes !

Nice review, it shows how the Oddworld creator Lorne Lanning love hes weird and violence universe of Oddworld. Near perfect game that shows even more with games like Strider that even on next-gen consoles, 2D platformers can still work greatly. My only negative is like say in your reveiw, dont understand why no option to inverse in using D-pad for movement. Analog stick are made for 3D game, NOT 2D (played in 2D even with 3D graphics)!

Abe:Hello! Guy: Hi Abe:follow me Guy: No! Abe:Its okay! Guy: ok

no pc version? :c

lol the advertisement had the guy who played trevor from GTA

Why does this give this me a scylanders VIBE

Reminds me a bit of Spolsion Man, which I loved!

Will this be coming to PC? The amount of ours I spent on the original is Insane. I need this game!

Can't wait to get this when it's released for xbone hopefully they'll remake the legacy of kain series!!

Now what about tomba and klonoa

They did a really good job with this remake as 12 year old me loved the original on the PS1, It's really great but the controls got on my nerves occasionally.

Yes very under rated for sure. It's like a clone of the older one. I remember playing as a kid lol

Dam I miss this game. Prob will by a ps4 just to play it again

Awesome :) can't wait to play it!

I used to have nightmares of this game and I never knew what it was called because I was only 5 at the time I saw this game on a PlayStation 2 demo disc and now I know what its called

Can't wait for it to get released on the PS VITA!

Never played the original but it looks like something I will check out.

This game creeped me out so much when i was a kid.

Is that a remaster or a Remake ????

I agree that the changes to the controls make things a bit worse. I also don't like how the game was made easier in a number of ways than the original game. It's still a very solid remake though. Despite the original game being so old, it still has more creativity and care out into it than most games made today. I reckon some of Mark of the Ninja's stealth mechanics even borrowed from it a little. A true masterpiece.

This game is my sole reason to get a PS4.

Good review =)

Shweet free on playstation pluss this month :)

Oh My God...

*Who's Here After It's Free On EGS*

Hope they do a similar remake of Abe's Exoddus. That game was definitely better than Oddysee.

Eifel 65-Im Blue Long long long time ago:)

i know ps3s are region free but will one play a ps1 game from a different region? i'm in australia and can only find this on ebay in america

39 Casualties... haha

It's cool that this game was made with Unity.but the cutscenes are a bit rushed..still, though.. It was a remake of one of my favorite childhood games.. so I have played through it twice already.

I want to play this on my Vita! cant wait for release date!!!

I don't need Abe, because I'm not going to blame an entire race for the actions of a few. #NotAllGlukkons

Kinda reminds me of the Clank secrions in R&C.

I love theses games

I'll be buying the PC & Wii U releases as soon as I can get my hands on them. (Now if people will hack the PC Version & finally get perfect rips of the music & sound effects *Nudge Nudge Hint Hint*)

What if you don't save all the madokens? What happens?

I was sold until I heard about the thumb stick controls

Kind of disappointed it isn't a brand new game but might have to give it a shot.

Still waiting on the PS3 release. also why did they release Boxart if this is digital only??? so disappointed. because l hate downloaded games. they better release on PS3 as a physical copy. otherwise im going to have to miss this

sorry but I have to know... can you still make him fart? haha my brother and I would laugh at that so much when we were younger when it first came out :P

Wait big question can you still fart in the game?

I got this game and if anyone happens to be looking for one more opinion, I agree with one of the posters below: it looks really nice and is a novel concept, but the gameplay feels stiff and dated. I haven't played more than an hour in, so maybe things open up a bit, but the game feels almost like a puzzle game more than a 2D platformer in that every 'segment' of the game is presented like an isolated situation where you have to figure out how to not get killed by the enemies or environment. I'd say skip it unless the above sounds appealing to you.

I LOVE ODDWORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a review. It's a promo

hopefully dpad is an option if not i hope it will get patched in, i could imagine using the stick would be so frustrating

good game and pretty hard sometims so much thinking but 5 points of 5
