I like the idea of the game. Apparently it's quite a nuanced story with actual depth in it.

I own all the Oddworld games and this is a remake of a game I enjoyed, add in the Cross-Buy (Buy PS4, get it on PS3 and Vita) and I'm sold. Because it's DD game though, I will wait for some sort of deal. Personal policy and all that.

I was going to get it for the Wii U, until I saw they wanted $30 for it; **** that. I got it for like $3 on GOG years back I'll just make do with that. Maybe I'll get it if I ever see it cheaper in the future.

I'll wait for a price drop. Not interested at $30.

I always thought the original was terrible, so this is a no-buy.

It was a great game. Might give it a spin after some other stuff on my log.

I never played the original, so I'll probably check it out at some point. I get the feeling it'll be a PS+ game at some point though.

From what I remember on PS1, its a pretty good title, but also fairly difficult.

I had the original but never completed it.

I'll get this when it reaches the PC.

It's a great remake. The controls aren't as precise as the original though as walking and running are all bound to how sensitive you push the stick instead of having dedicated buttons for it, which is a huge mistake. Makes you over or undershoot jumps all the time. Other than that it's very true to the original and looks damn pretty at times

I have a personal beef with Lorne Lanning due to his business practices and refuse to support this game at the price he is asking for it. $14.99 or less and I might bite, but for $29.99 he can take Abe and shove it up his pretentious ass.

Can you imagine not liking Oddworld?

After a nine year gap it's good to see them back.
