Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

[krazzo]

Incredible news, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is preparing its HD return on Playstation 3 next Easter. If you played the game in 2005 you will perfectly understand why this is such a big deal, if not, you will have no excuse for not experiencing this unfairly shunned title.


OTLEY, WEST YORKSHIRE, UK – 3rd September, 2010 – Just Add Water (JAW) is thrilled to announce the return of the critically-acclaimed Oddworld series - with an enhanced remake of the award-winning Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath coming to PlayStation®3 next Easter.

Originally released in 2005, first- and third-person action-adventure Stranger’s Wrath marks the multi-million-selling series’ first appearance on a PlayStation® console since 1998’s Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus. The game will be made available as a digital download via PlayStation® Network.

Stewart Gilray, Managing Director of JAW, said: “Since word got out that we’ve been working with Oddworld Inhabitants there have been many rumours circulating about what we’re working on. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is the first project in what we believe will be a long and fruitful relationship. Having the chance to update this great title and release it on PS3 is just a brilliant opportunity, not least for us, but for the fans too.”

JAW has worked closely with Oddworld founders Lorne Lanning and Sherry McKenna to ensure the remake is faithful to the original moolah-chasing epic, while offering a raft of enhancements, including: stunning 720p visuals; much more detail in the characters; normal mapping and self-shadowing; re-mastered dialogue, support for PlayStation®Move; and additional bonus material still to be revealed.

In Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, players step into the role of the Stranger, a rough and tumble bounty hunter who tracks down outlaws for moolah. Using a special weapons system that gives a whole new meaning to "live" ammo, players encounter deviant species and hostile challenges along the way.

The 2005 original has a Metacritic rating of 88, was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Animation at the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' Interactive Achievement Awards, and received numerous awards from the gaming press.

Ich habe den Teil nie gespielt und kann daher auch gar nicht sagen ob er gut oder schlecht ist - aber die Chance habe ich ja dann im nächsten Jahr!

Omg omg wie geil. Ich hab ihn auch noch nicht gespielt, aber Oddworld ist einfach toll. Ich freu mich.

 

[PS3Man]

Juhuuuu...Früher oder später kommen doch alle Xbox Titel auf die PS. Super, das wird sofort geholt. Fehlt eigentlich nur noch Munchs Odysee, dann wäre die Reihe wieder komplett auf der Playstation.

 

[Highseeker]

Geil geil geil das ist eine Traumnachricht

Jeez how many questions guys ...

No one mentioned Exclusive.

Price = Sweet ;-)

Trophies = Duh yeah

PC = No idea, not us.

Bonus stuff = Sweet ;-)

Kommt also auch vlt auf die 360. Aber 720p, 60fps & MLAA sind schon mal eine sehr feine Sache.

[krazzo]

Ich hab mir gerad nen paar Bilder reingezogen ... ich weiß jetzt erst genau welches Spiel das überhaupt ist. Da gibt's doch irgendwie die Knarre mit so'nem Hamster oder Maus?! Haha. Kann mich nur noch an div. Videos von früher erinnern.

 

[spy]

Ja genau, da hat man so lustige Viecher, die mit einem reden als Munition. Ich kann mich noch erinnern, dass man auf allen vieren unterwegs sein kann und zweibeinig und so Hühnerdinger waren da. I love Oddworld. Da schmeiß ich meine PS3 auf alle Fälle für an

 

[HeiligesHerz]

Sieht verdammt nett aus, mir gefaellt der Grafikstil sehr.

 

[SFreeper]

jow mir auch. Mir gehts wie krazzo fand die marke immer interessant habe aber nie was davon gespielt. Werde ich wohl definitv nachholen =)

 

[Stelyer]

weißt einer denn preis schon ?

Die Charaktere werden überarbeitet, 17.000 Polygone mehr.

Spoiler

As seen in the image above, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath's main character is getting a truckload or two of new polygons in Just Add Water's forthcoming remastered version of the game. How many more, specifically, you ask? Is 17,000 enough, roughly seven times more than the original Xbox version? Certainly is for us!

The difference is far more stunning when viewed on a larger scale than our header image will allow, so we'd suggest heading to JAW's dev blog and seeing for yourself. On the same blog, you'll find a handful of details regarding what specifically is being changed about Stranger's Wrath.

[Deleted member 7049]

Hat jemand schon was neues bezüglich Release gehört bzw. irgend eine neue News zum Spiel?

Sollte ja eigentlich Ostern erscheinen...aber daraus wird wohl leider nichts...

This April 28th, at a venue known as GameCityNights in Nottingham UK, this piece of gaming will be showcased to a live crowd by Stewart Gilray, CEO of Just Add Water, who are at the helm of reinvigorating this classic title. Original creator Lorne Lanning will also be there to discuss the past, present and future of Oddworld, as well as talking us through the original title.

Also Release dann warscheinlich Mai/Juni, wenn sie am 28.04. erst ne Präsentation machen...

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath inhabits PS3 this summer

Assuming the PlayStation Store is up and running by then, Oddworld Inhabitants plans to release the HD remake of the fantasy-themed third-person shooter Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath on PS3 this summer. Other platforms weren't explicitly mentioned in the latest press release, but developer Just Add Water has previously expressed interest in patching the existing PC version with the PS3 remake's improvements.

Oddworld Inhabitants also re-confirmed its intention to release Munch's Oddysee on PSN in the fall. Last month, it pinpointed the PS3 release of the Xbox launch title for October.
