Another game from Oddworld Inhabitants is about to get the high-definition treatment. Oddworld co-founder Lorne Lanning says an HD Abe's Oddysee is in development.
"Abe HD is going into production. It’s basically Abe’s Oddysee being redone in a 3D physics engine as a 2D side-scrolling platformer," Lanning told EGM. "So the way Just Add Water wants to approach it, we thought was very smart; they are not trying to reinvent any wheels. It’s like, ‘Can we make that experience in a new engine, with new tech, in the old way?'" Just Add Water is currently preparing Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath for re-release on PSN. Lanning reiterated in the same interview that the Xbox 360 version of that remake could happen but it's still stalled. "We have Stranger all ready to go on XBLA, but the answer keeps being no. We’re still talking to them and we’re hoping to work it out." The full interview will be printed in EGM's March issue. It hits newsstands on February 14th. |
