There is a morse code in the audio which should provide a word to decode the encrypted image. Unfortunatelly I don't know how to translate morse codes.

This might help.

oh shit, is this a sequel?

Even after cleaning up the audio, I'm too slow to follow the morse code
What do?

From what I got from game informer interview, they they felt like they couldn't do much with Exoddus in the given time frame of 8 months, so Soulstorm is supposed to be a sort of a remake of that.

After their shitty rereleases I'm good

Alright, that jumpscare got me

Same problem here. Trying to make it that somehow to site translates it to me. It's been hard.

Jumpscare? What?

JAW (the developer of New N Tasty) has been dropped. Lorne Lanning is teaming up with a new studio for this.

This is a remake of Exoddus. Unlike the Oddysee remake (which was pretty much a straight conversion with new graphics), this is going to be expanded upon and Lorne is going to do all the shit he didn't have time to implement in the original version.

So all they're going to do only remakes now because a new game takes too much effort

??

Soulstorm is a new game. Its essentially what Exoddus was meant to be because they rushed the ps1 original. So alot of shit got cut. Soulstorm is going to be what it should have been.

I really think that this Soulstorm will be pretty much another game with some things from the original.

It's pretty crazy that Exoddus was a rushed as hell game and still managed to be one of the best platformers ever made.
Most new studios couldn't produce a game as good in twice that time with quadruple the studio size

Also the guys at the official Oddworld message boards have been working on this ARG for a long time, go there if you have anything to contribute; oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=24137&page=2

Here's an animated Abe

...

Lorne Lanning has plans for brand new Oddworld games but he wants to fund them himself so he doesn't end up getting fucked over buy publishers again. He also doesn't want to do kickstarter because he doesn't believe he'd raise enough money for all the RnD he'd need to do on a new game.

So instead what he decided to do was to start out small and do the Stranger's Wrath HD port. It was relatively cheap to do and brought back enough money to then do a Munch's Oddysee HD port. The profits from that was then able to fund the full Oddysee remake and the profits from that will go into the re-imagining of Exoddus. Basically he's upping the ante each time until he has enough money to do his new game.

>Lorne is going to do all the shit he didn't have time to implement in the original version.
So we're actually going to get to see Queen Sam and the Shrinks?

nice

Anyone else get the Stranger's Wrath limited Vita release? I don't actually have the Vita but SW is one of my top 5 anyway

That's a great boxart, but kinda spoilerish as fuck.

I mean it's like a ten year old game but still.

>spoilerish
I never played the game and I don't get it

oh did they announced the plattforms for it? would like to see new n tasty on switch with these one.
>inb4 shitty remake and shit
yeah but I played the original game over 5x so I would still like to play the game w.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure the 5000 copies they printed are mostly bought by preexisting fans and scalpers who don't give a fuck

It does have a reversible cover all the same

Wait, there is no Munch Oddysee HD on steam?

Well Steefs aren't really the focus of the game, which helps distract from the fact that you are one and might be the last so you're in disguise.

>3 sided cover

The first two from the left are the same reversible cover, the third blue one is a PSX variant

Pretty sure there is by now. Munch sucks ass anyway

Exoddus was the best game of the series. And if it is true that Lorne is going to put everything that he couldn't put in the beginning, that means that this game have potential to be the best game of the whole series.

Also, I'm glad that Oddworld is not dead. The atmosphere is unique, scary and charm at the same time.
