Oddworld: Soulstorm new gameplay trailer it looks shit. it even has fucking crafting for no reason

It looks good. Go play Mario if you are gay. ( you are )

according to Oddworld Inhabitants themselves; stranger's wrath doesn't count.

not a part of the abe quintology

Is this a remake of Exoddus or not? It's hard to tell anymore.

it was never a direct remake

Basically "what Exoddus was intended to be". It got changed a lot due to corporate meddling back in the day and the team was bitter about it for ages, so they're basically reimagining it into an entirely new game as what they wanted it to be originally. You might see references or things from Exoddus, I doubt they'd completely and utterly exercise it, but it's basically a new game off of old plans.

What was changed by corporate in Exoddus? I feel it's hard to see "Looting and crafting" as their original vision seeing as those are modern trends.

it looks good but holy shit that trailer is terrible
easy on the post effects, dude

Actually I might be wrong on that one, it seems what happened was that they could only make the game in nine months, so Lanning and the team didn't have the time to implement most of their loftier and much darker ideas, and the result was the game becoming somewhat kookier than the original Oddysee due to the absence of those darker intents.

After New 'n' Tasty, it really shouldn't be surprising that they would add modern ideas into this, though. They took a lot of compromises for a remake that couldn't make up its mind between being faithful and being new.

because otherwise it would just be a standard oddworld game and those shits don't sell in 2019.

Its going to be "quakefags: ree where is the pure AAA quake game so all 12 of us can play it ree" all over again without normie mechanics.

Why'd they stop making the games anyway?

because publishers fucked them over left and right

Every publisher they went to kept trying to renegotiate contracts which would've put the company in a cycle of endless weeks of no payment while trying to please said publishers. So they closed down.

The trailer sucked but I hope its not a nosgoth-tier fuckup.

>remake of an oddworld spin-off not part of the oddworld quintology, originally made just to reuse Abe's Oddysee assets to make a quick buck so essentially completely pointless to remake

this post is about as stupid as the guy in that pic

Only 2 games of the oddworld quintology have been made so far.
>Abe's Oddysee
>Munch's Oddysee

Abe's Exoddus and Stranger's Wrath are spin-offs. Brutal Ballad was supposed to be the third game of the quintology.

was this scrapped and turned into stranger's wrath? because it looks similar

Evolution of Stranger's Wrath, but canned as relations between Oddworld Inhabitants and EA worsened so much, OI scrapped the whole project, downsized severely, vowed never to make deals with larger publishers, and went on an hiatus until digital distribution bloom.

Hopefully we can get that Mullock game eventually.
