Still early days. And I think a lot of console owners (myself included) aren't used to a digital-only title in the $30 range. I still paid for it, though, and I think it's worth it since it's retail-quality, but it did make me hesitate.
I am hoping for the best, sales wise. Still a lot of platforms to go!

Not very encouraging. I've been posting on Facebook and Twitter about it. People have been surprised that they didn't know it existed. We need more marketing!!

Yeah it says 100% under rescue status but I went back after I beat the game and got the ones I missed from Zulag 1 and 4.
I love the game! Y'all did a great job on it! And y'all seem to be working hard trying to fix the glitches. This is one of the few games that I actually want to earn all the trophies but there's a couple I'm not sure about. The secret entrances one and the hidden trophy
Mudokon Pops
I can't wait for the DLC!
I hope the sales pick up I really want more Oddworld!

I really don't like the sound of this, seeing human characters in Oddworld just sounds wrong.
What adverts have people seen?
GoldenHelmet - I assume only carefully selected indy games will be advertised (I can't imagine an Oddworld title ever advertising a big budget EA game for example) but can you confirm what types of games will be advertised?
I didn't notice that, but that is really strange.

I honestly think New n Tasty is going to be a long burner, in that launch will of course be a large spike in amount of sales for that period, but I think this will consistently sell week in, week out like some titles on PSN do. This half of the year is incredibly crowded and 2015 is shaping up to be just as crowded, but with the success of the PS4 and the nostalgia factor alone of this game, over time I think it'll accumulate well over a million sales into 2015 and beyond. Then there's PC, Wii U and Xbox One which I think will sell highest in the order there (PC/Wii U/XBO) and that will definitely contribute to the sales this game deserves.
Stewart, how did the team find using Unity when developing New n Tasty? Was there any sacrifices or limitations of Unity that you might consider exploring other middleware like UE4 for example for potential future Abe projects?

Would buy
If you enjoy platformers with some puzzle elements this game is just the best, one of my favorite all time games. I enjoy this remake, re-envisioning, whatever you want to call it more then the original.
My save all mudokons run might have to wait until someone makes a video walk through of how, I just can't find one of the hiding places/secret areas in the stockyards. I have replayed stockyards twice and still only can get 103/111,feels bad man.

From what I've played so far, which is not a huge amount, it seems more like a sidescrolling puzzler with platforming elements, rather than the other way around. Maybe the platforming elements increase throughout, though; like I said, I'm not very far in at all.

We need to get one of the big steamers to run the game. Could give it a lot of exposure.

Tomorrow I will murder 99 mudokons.

So anyone who's part of the 299 club let me know via PM or by simply quoting this and if you want to be included in the OP give me your GAF name and psn id. Or just GAF name if you are uncomfortable giving both.

So I went and bought it after all and was having fun until it glitched on me
It was when you first get grenades I died and those bird things where just stuck on the screen and j wouldn't respawn tried restarting checkpoint but every time the birds would fly on screen and stop ended up having to restart from the beginning

I have to be honest, the more I get into this game the more it just pisses me off.
Inconsistencies, bugs, crashes.... infuriating stuff.
I'm perfectly happy with paying 30$ for a high quality download only title and I know that the developers care about the game but this is not acceptable. I'm currently stuck in a bonus level room in
where I'm just forced to respawn and die endlessly.
The design of the room itself was infuriating enough that I thought it might have been a bugged so I tried to leave and come back.
When I came back the paramites were already spawned and just kill me instantly. Awful stuff.
And why are the paramites acting differently in that room? You teach the player that those things only attack when cornered just to switch the rules around when you feel like it? I don't know what's intended and what's a glitch/bug at times. Frustrating.

Do you seriously expect me to roll through both of those super fast up/down spike things just to reach the exit after having solved the room? It feels like the lever should deactivate them but it doesn't.

Cornered or groups of two or more.
Thanks, I must have missed that explanation!
Up until now I haven't encountered any bugs/glitches or crashes, Maybe had a good luck or more likely you guys had a little bit of bad luck.
The game is really brilliant but I'm missing tons of Mudokons, i really don't know how, I'm missing something obvious here cause i had after the first level like 50+ casualties, and I really didn't skip anything and went to anywhere i could, what am i missing here?

In Rupture Farms there's secret rooms hidden under hatches (crouch+SQUARE to open) and some below switch-activated trapdoors. The map system (zoom into Zulag 1) shows the hidden entrances as lighter horizontal lines on the ground. There's another hidden room right near the end, not shown on the map.
To the right of the same platform you kill the last Slig.
Also look out for bird portals, some stay open even after you finish chanting. And hidden tunnels. Steam/smoke can hide mudokons or bird portals too.

Did that back and forth with a triple non-stop jump. It was just luck. Anyway yeah, it's a pretty nasty place, but bottlecaps do help.
I'm halfway through the second temple, missing like a ton of Mudokons but loving the game so far. EU post-patch version, still not a single glitch or crash.
Thanks, damn i missed half the game going by your description!
How much do i need to save in order to get the good ending?
Am I seriously supposed to be rolling through these things to get back out after solving the room? The switch doesn't deactivate them, the timing for the first roll is frustrating but doable but when I'm the middle it seems impossible to get past the last spike thing.
Am I missing something here? Playing on Hard mode but this still seems excessive compared to everything else I've encountered in the game at that point.

Pause in between them.

Just like the bombs the timing is very strict. The roll animation takes a second to start up, so roll just a split second before the grinder is about to go up. You should clear it. It's tough but possible.

Yeah and use quick save/load!
I got through them but the analog controls just piss me off in situations like this. Wish they included an option to use the DPAD.
I completely forgot that the game had a quicksave feature, I generally really dislike that kind of save system.

This is hilarious if true! I'll be buying it today and if I see ads in it, I will be disappointed....
I just finished the game. (I would give it a 8/10 score, good game)
BUT is it normal that your save file gets destroyed when you finish the game? I didn't overwrite my current save file after finishing the game, but that save is gone.
Oh well, maybe I start the game again when Vita version comes sooner or later.
Btw, dat credits song. So good, love it.

Do you think there are more because you can hear them but can't see them?
If that's the case (as it was for me. drove me a little crazy for a bit) it's because there is another secret portal that drops you into the area right next to you.
You are hearing them from the other side of the wall.
You can't get them yet, but you can later

Aww, it's actually a story about how my middle school aged mind wouldn't exercise patience unless forced to. I'm really glad things turned out that way because it's an amazing game. From then on out I've given games a reasonable chance instead of just a sniff test.
Bought Exoddus the day it released iirc. Had ridiculous amounts of fun with it. Speaking of which, what does Soulstorm Brew taste like? (Supposed to, anyway)

It was 50 originally, so probably 150.
There's another secret entrance to the area below, earlier in the Free-fire Zone. I think it's the one hidden inside hiding-smoke.I cannot at all figure out how to access the rest of these mudokans in this secret area
