Hey everyone! It’s been a while since we visited these hallowed halls to talk about our upcoming PS3 and PS Vita game Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD. If you’ve been following the game’s development closely, you may have caught our announcement that we delayed the release of Stranger’s Wrath HD on the PS3 into the summer from its intended spring release. While summer is almost at an end, we wanted to tell you that the game is in the final part of development right now. We’re in beta and fixing bugs, and doing some last-minute optimizing where we can.
It’s been a long road for us, and we’ve made a whole truck full of updates. We’ve updated EVERY one of 83 characters in the game, the vast majority of the environmental textures, and a lot of the environment geometry. We’ve also completely updated the user interface, added some easter eggs into the game, and a whole raft of unlockable extras — some never seen before, and some rarely seen.
To celebrate being at the end of the development cycle for Stranger’s Wrath, we wanted to share this trailer with you. The trailer looks great but the game looks better: you just can’t capture 60 frames-per-second action in a web trailer!
We hope you enjoy the trailer and we’ll be back very soon to share full release details with you.
did they seriously turn Oddworld into an FPS?
my nostalgia… it’s dying… :(
I never played the original and I think it looks great. I just hope since it is going to be for the PS3 as well as Vita, it doesn’t end up getting pushed back to coincide with the release of the VIta. I would rather have the PS3 version now, and the Vita version later.
The PS3 version is coming out before the Vita version :)
