@@adammonks591 More like a reimagining. It's the game Lanning originally wanted to make but wasn't able to make due to hardware limitations and a 9 month deadline. It retells the story of Exoddus with many changes and additions and its different enough in level design and gameplay to be considered a new game, in my personal opinion. But yes, the next game should finally have a new narrative to really move forward with the Oddworld universe.

I'm currently playing through Soulstorm and while I do like it, I think I would've preferred a remake of Abe's Exoddus rather than a complete reimagining of it. They've cut out too much of what made Exoddus great - the music, the Mudanchee and Modomo levels, Bonewerkz, paramites and scrabs, the quicksave option and, of course, exploding farts! The thing that made these games so unique from the beginning was that you played as a lowly meat factory worker with no weapons - all you had to survive were stealth, chanting and using the environment (set traps/bombs etc) against the bad guys. The new crafting system, while adding a fun new element and way of fighting to the series, also took something away for me.

Lanning wants to break into making a series. The game was secondary to the cinematics. Which is weird, because I still prefer many of the cutscenes from Exoddus (the three spirits with missing limbs; the blind ones digging up bones). Overall, I am really pretty disappointed with Soulstorm. A few funky features don't make up for A) lack of music B) lack of gamespeak C) lack of quicksave D) lack of nature and cool new creature designs ... If they make a show it'll probably be really weird. Like the Dark Crystal series ... Take a breather, Oddworld. You need to go back to the source ......

With New 'n' Tasty if someone asked me "should I play it and/or the original Oddysee game" I could safely say just play the remake. However, with Soulstorm it leaves so much out that Exoddus had that they have a totally different feel, and further Exoddus is the closer continuation in terms of the game play, so I recommend people play both, but preferably Exoddus then Soulstorm.

This is a wonderful comparison. Currently playing Soulstorm and having a lot of fun with it. Got it through Playstation Plus of course.

One thing I miss with the sligs, is the forward facing visor. I remember that for the anatomy of sligs, they had small eyes placed on the sides of their heads, so it made sense that a minion with a gun and sideway view eyes, would have a visor that focuses their vision in front of them so they can aim. Sure, it makes the sligs less expressive with their eyes than the ones with the pilot masks, but still, kinda takes away. from the practical effect it had. Kinda still wish when sligs were designated into categories of specialised forces, they'd have appropriate masks to suit the role.

Nice video! The only criticism I have for it was your comparison with the lighting, really you should also consider the original game on PS1 and it's art direction. New 'n' Tasty might look pretty and have give scenes variety, but It doesn't have any meaning other than looking nice, the original PS1 game had a focus in looking like a realistic alien world, So flashy bloom effects and unrealistic uses of colour in environments wouldn't make sense. I think Soulstorm does a way better job at capturing the originals direction and attempts to give environments a more consistent lighting in line with its depressing tone. The only moments of more fanciful lighting are in either the important spiritual keeper cave or deep within the factories at there powerful core, like it makes sense to make those more colourful to extenuate there importance and power within the world... I know that was a long ramble, but theres more to art direction and design then just making something look colourful and pretty.

No hate for Soulstorm.. But for me the first game was "Exodus" and there for this stings a bit when the "Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty " Is so nice. I kinda wished for a remaster of Exodus then a remake or reimagining... Thats all. No hate for Soulstorm, just hoped for a remaster of exodus. No matter if it was rushed or not.. And well you cannot chant tro walls.. etc.. kinda wierd. Why cant the spirit go around the wall.. or tro it like before. But again SoulStorm is a totaly diffrent game than it's roots Exodus. So no hate for it.. just not what I hoped for :P

Old school glukkons look so bad ass. Now they just too cartoony and don't have a proper boss look to them

Growing up with both games abe's oddysee and abe's exodus I was happy when I heard that new and tasty was in the making. Though because of software issues I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the previous games. It was good but not as good as the originals. When soulstorm was annonced I was thrilled, because of oddworlds updates and teasers which looked much better than new and tasty. When I started playing Soulstorm I was a bit angry, for it felt like they had messed up the game controls as I found it difficult to play the game with a keyboard, something that wasn't an issue in the past. But I found my ps4 controller and plugged it into my pc and the lord behold, it was great! I love how they changed from doing an entire remaster to an entirely different game and story. The cut-scenes looked awesome, the voices sounded better than new and tasty and the gameplay was also impressive. I love the game 10/10 and am looking forward to the continuation .

Though it’s flawed and often frustrating (especially the parts where you have to defend hundreds of mudokons escaping at once on ladders), I did enjoy this game. I was initially disappointed that this wasn’t going to be a direct remake of Exoddus, but I’m ultimately glad they told a unique story. I’m looking forward to what they might make next.

I'm grateful that they went for a reimagining, as the Oddworld mythos was a rich one from the start. They're heading towards telling a more complex story, while letting Exxodus live on as a classic. Personally I couldn't be happier

This just makes me play both

I'm actually enjoying this game.

I dont understand nothing about Oddworld but i am curious. Soulstorm is a remake of the levels or in story too? Because looks like a sequel to New Tasty

@josiahmccord867

3 жыл бұрын

So, New N Tasty is a remaster/ remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey, which came out in 1997. The creator, Lorne Lanning, was surprised by the game’s success in 1997, and needed another 3 years to make the sequel. But the developers forced him to make it in 9 months, so Abe’s Exoddus was released in 1998. Oddworld: Soulstorm is the original game that Lorne Lanning wanted to make. So it’s not a remake of Abe’s Exoddus or New J Tasty, it’s a entirely new game. If this game looks interesting, you should play the Oddworld games. They’re the most underrated video game of all time.

@@Etheral101 Yea, I definitely agree there. I feel like they could have even gotten away with cutting scrabs and mudokons because of their presence in odyssey, but the glukkon possession levels were a unique section of the game that let you go on a bit of a power trip that was kind of like a reward for making it that far. And then you got to blow them up. How much better can it get than that? The puzzles in Soulstorm are a lot sloppier too. Sometimes the way I finish the puzzles feel unintended or cheesy. They took away quiksave, an improvement added in exodus that made it way more fun than odyssey, letting you experiment more easily. The mood system was cool, the game speak has been completely simplified, but to be fair that isn't too much of a loss. The crafting does feel bolted on like you said. It barely feels like it belongs and doesn't really need to exist. I tried to like it. It's not AWFUL, it's just not good. I have sort of enjoyed the game, but a lot of that has been mired with frustration at the bugs and checkpoint system and lack of features that made exodus so cool. I'm probably just going to replay exodus when I'm done with it to wash my mouth out.

I hate that stupid double jump, move in mid air feature. At least the characters in the originals had some weight to them.

Been a diehard fan of Oddworld since the first game when I was younger and ever since been a big fan. Having played through the first 6 levels of Soulstorm, I gotta say it takes way too many steps back compared to previous entries. The absolute biggest is music...there's very little so far. The only track I've liked is the main menu theme being a bit foreboding, ominous & mysterious and some of the intro cinematic's...but past that it's been very generic & kinda nonexistent in it's presence. New 'n' Tasty, let alone the original Ossysee & Exodus are vastly superior. It was kinda the heart & soul of the games. Painting dark and dangerous areas, the malic of the greed of the Glukkons & their industry. To the tranquil & alien locations outside the Factories & machinery. There's so far NONE of that present in Soulstorm after a couple hours of play, where previous ones grip you instantly. Visually the cinematics are fantastic in detail and scope, as are the models of the characters. I can't really say I prefer either one here because there's a nice artistic take to both games. Where I can say I prefer one over the other is how levels & the environment look. There's just too much of a bland, drab and lifeless, empty feel in Soulstorm. Where in New 'n' Tasty it's just oozing with personality and atmosphere. In 6 levels and several locations in Soulstorm and there has been no real change. It's so homogenized and that's a letdown & detraction of Oddworld being a character in of itself. Gameplay is good, some clunky & unresponsive stuff, bit I like the use of items and gadgets to change things up (tho losing everything after a level end is annoying). Soulstorm does vary things up between escaping areas, a few chase sequences, rescuing Mudokons or even protecting them. I even liked how you gathered resources to help cure a few stricken with an illness. What I'm not as big on is level deign & layout, part of this is due to the aforementioned lose of character in environments & levels, but I'm not as into how these levels are designed. They feel much more gamey than a cohesive and living world imo. I feel there could've been more thought & cleverness put into their design. One big thing to mention is the amount of bugs and glitches, even after a patch is def keeping the game from being more enjoyable for myself. I softlocked myself in a level and was unable to progress & had to restart the whole level. I've had enemies disappear/glitch out. And my Lords, the amount of sound popping/erupting is killer on my ears and it happens a lot...esp when loading into a level or restarting a checkpoint. Wrapping things up here. While I haven't finished the game yet (I intend to) I'm mostly still enjoying my time with it. I wanna see how the story plays out, love to see more cutscenes and such and enjoying most of the gameplay despite some very disappointing decisions made in regards to the music, lighting and level design/structure. The varied gameplay, characters and story are keeping me going but I think the game needed a bit more time on Rupture Farm's processing line (another way of saying needed more time in development) to serve a better package for us.

reduced fall damage, an inventory bar, and double jumping. Great, yet another platformer with no feeling. Total betrayal of all the elements that made the OG games great.

@@mezzuna Yes and yes. But I'm not sure that New n Tasty was also made in Unity, so just because there was code written for them in that game doesn't necessarily mean that it translates to this game. Also this game isn't meant to be a remaster of exodus so they had creative license to add or remove things as they pleased.

@@ryno4ever433 oh, fair enough I suppose. The old get out of remake free clause these days! Re3R tremendously dissatisfied me with this type of nonsense. I'd buy new n tasty if it's still a good game on its own right though, have you played it through yet? Are you a resident evil fan? I just don't understand for the life of me why tyrants code wasn't used to patrol the hallways of the police station and why Carlos was there instead of Jill. Still confused me. Such an inappropriate way to subvert expectations!

@@mezzuna No, I didn't play the RE remakes.

I'm usually positive to change, I prefer Homeworld 2 and Halo 4 for example, but holy hell! Health? Double jump? Always on HUD? Crafting? Being able to fight back enemies face to face? The redesign of Mullock? Superbland environments? After watching some of New n Tasty, while not perfect, seems like an enjoyable experience, but I think I'm just going to forget this game ever happened. Easier as they screwed over PC players with making it an Epic Game Story exclusive.

The game is AMAZING, although there were a few bugs, which have been patched. I definitely recommend purchasing it!

Sold! ;O)-

Look I know this was designed as a next gen game but it blows my mind how playing both on ps4 and NEW N TASTY looks better than soulstorm x50. Visually its fuckn rediculous. Am I the only one who feels this way? New n tasty looks way more detailed visually . And all the colors yes. The graphics looks better to me kinda too

I feel the same man. New N Tasty probably had bigger budget alltogether. Soulstorm enviroments feel procedurally generated and arcade'y. Soulstorm is more platformer rather than cinematic platformer.

The way I feel and put is that the character models look great, esp in cinematics....but everything else takes a big step back. The mood, lighting and feel is lacking so much. In the original games & in New 'n' Tasty, the levels themselves were a character.

I don't like them removing characters entirely. I would of liked them to keep the 3 ghosts. UI also don't like the glukkons new designs at all

Yeh. The Glukkons look so haggard. Weird big throat things. It wasnt broken, but they "fixed" it anyway ...

Woulda loved an exodus remake aw man

soulstorm is kinda sabotaged by its first 5 levels being reallllly tutorialized. as soon as the game opens up with your full craft toolkit it gets much more fun.

@@jayr7991 Maybe, but Soulstorm is difficult in a very annoying way. The checkpoint system makes it so that if you fail a challenge that had lootables in the room, after you respawn you have to loot everything again. You also can't reset the checkpoints without going to a different one. Exodus had a quiksave system that allowed you to save whenever you wanted and it didn't an issue with having to repeat simple things every time you died. So while I think Soulstorm is technically more difficult than exodus at times, I think a lot of the difficulty stems from bad game design instead of genuine challenge.

Soulstorm is not difficult, the only difficult part is the escape from the yards, but it's difficult only because of the bad aim/throw system.

Can you do Bo4 vs Bo Cold war plzzz

I played a little bit of Soulstorm, but my jirl wasn’t feelin’ it too much as far as watchin’ me play it. We’d just come from It Takes Two, so I think her expectations are set pretty high right now.

I hope Soulstorm coming on Xbox in future.

Playstation and PC you forgot to mention

This game needs to be released for Switch

Something within me disagrees with the sight of Abe double-jumping on a visceral level. Not saying I won't give it a try though cause this game looks cool af.

I thought Soulstorm was great for the better story and fresh gameplay. I wasn't so keen on New 'N' Tasty. I would absolute love straight straight remaster of first 2 as well, the original game with coat of paint, no gameplay changes keep the awesome painted backdrops, just upres everything and keep the flip screen system (just add quick save to Oddysee). To be clear I think this would be great in addition to Soulstorm.

It looks as good on ps5 btw

Do dues ex vs Cyberpunk

👍👌💯

Bugworld Bugstorm :D

The gameplay is a little shallow for my liking. Taking the game for what it is rather than what I’d like it to be I’m having fun with it but gamespeak is nowhere as extensive as it used to be and there’s a lack of content when compared to exodus mainly in terms of who you can posses I.e only sligs here but scrabs paramites, sligs and Glukkons in Exodus

My biggest problem with this video is that soul storm is not a remake or a reimagining. It is considered the next game in a series. Edit: Oddworld was created to be a quintology (a 5 part story). Exodus was supposed to be the second part of the story but it was rushed as the creators were pressure to produce the sequel in a year. Lorne Lanning stated that Soul Storm is the sequel and part two to the story that they actually envisioned.

If you are referring to SoulStorm then no it is PS5 exclusive only. The only thing you can do if you only have a PS4 is reserve the game in your inventory in the store (PlayStation website store) I believe if you do have Playstation Plus. Once you get a PS5, then you can just download and play it. But yes I do to a certain point agree with you. So far throughout my time with the game, I have encountered only a few bugs, and the graphics, while not revolutionary, were great to look at. It could be that I have yet to own a 4K TV but nevertheless, it is understandable. Now is this game, Soulstrom, the next-gen breakthrough of graphics expectations we were all hoping for the new console generation. Well...no. We still have a bit of a way to go before we see that light of day. Hopefully, games like Horizon Forbbiden West and Resident Evil Village can hold that candle towards the greatness that is the next generation of gaming.
