Abe's Oddysee reconstructed.

<span class="bold">Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty</span>, a critically acclaimed restoration of Abe's Oddysee, is available for pre-order now on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, with a 10% pre-order discount!

<span class="bold">Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty</span> earns the right to call itself a true remake. It's so much more than just a graphical upgrade, it's a modern retelling of the unforgettable experience that Abe's Oddysee was all these years ago. The unsettlingly beautiful visuals, the disturbingly odd universe, and the unforgivingly difficult gameplay were enough to leave a lasting impression on anyone who encountered Abe's Oddysee. Seventeen years later, <span class="bold">Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty</span> retains the setting, the sounds, and the flavor; all brought up to modern platforming par, and beyond, with updated controls, refined mechanics and a reconstructed experience.

If you pre-order, you'll also receive two pieces of New 'n' Tasty DLC for free:
-Bonus level: Alf's Escape
-Alternative costume: Scrub Abe

<span class="bold">Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty</span> makes a tremendous impression, rose-tinted glasses not required. You can pre-order it now, DRM-free on GOG.com!

dako93: So is GoG.com also gonna start now with the pre-order exclusives DLC practices? Such a shame...

Grargar: 2 things:

1) Pre-order exclusive started on GOG one year ago with Age of Wonders 3.
2) It's not a pre-order exclusive.
What was this?
There's some expansion for Age of Wonders 3 that you can't buy and was included in a pre-order on GoG? oO

Yeah, no, Fuck off with this shit

OddworldAdmin: Hi there.

As we've said numerous times in this thread (and elsewhere) Alf's Escape was post-launch content on PS4, but we're bringing it day one on PC. It's an entirely optional extra level.

Although it doesn't sound like we'd be able to convince you. :)
Convinced me long ago :)
I might have a ps4 controller available; will it work just fine, like the x360 will?!
Thanks.

Take a good look at the end of the first paragraph. As far as I know, it's still not available outside pre-orders.

CelestialBunny: Once again GOG totally screws up how to present acceptable pre-order terms - lets break it down shall we:

GOG Offer

10% discount - pre order - new game only

>>>What it SHOULD have been<<< Offer

10% discount - pre order - new game only
20% - if you already own ONE of the existing Oddworld games on GOG
30% - if you already own BOTH of the existing Oddworld games on GOG

Alternative offer to the above

15% discount PLUS giving you 1, the other, or both of the oddworld games to keep for yourself or gift to a friend

Now I'm sorry, but not doing it properly just means it sits on my wishlist for a really long time (as they all do) and gathers dust until you quit overcharing and use the 50/66/75 rules of statement

Missed opportunity GOG...missed opportunity, thats all I'm saying

animalmother2105: I am not sure GOG has so much saying how the preorder offers will look like. If the publisher/producer does not want to, then they either accept or not. Witcher III is something different.
GOG needs to negociate MUCH better pre-order deals and launch prices, do it properly or dont do it at all

So I searched "Scrub Abe costume", and the attached picture was among the Google image results...

Is it a sign from the gods that I should preorder this game? I shall contemplate this omen... ;)

Hello

I appreciate your response and explanation, however unfortunately I am going to have to disagree with you here

Because the PC version was delayed, this "extra content" should already be included for free in the PC version

So while I can see where you might be coming from, it's still content that should be already included in this version of the game, and not just with "pre-orders" it should be included in ALL purchases

Otherwise you are not giving much incentive for PC users to actually part with their hard earned cash for this game

Thank you and have a good day

Why does delaying the PC version (assuming it was done for quality control) make you entitled to any free content?

That doesn't seem right to me

Yeah, I can't follow some people here as well... it's pretty simple: the DLC which should be included is included now isn't it? :-P And if you don't like the deal just skip it. No need to raise your blood preasure over it. It's a game and should be fun to play. And imho this deal is still better then games which you buy for 60 euro and you still need to get season passes to get all content. And, as stated here by OddworldAdmin, there are no plans for extra DLC so this is probably the complete package.

By the way: thank you OddworldAdmin for answering questions here. I wish more developers / publishers would do that! :) Really appreciated!

Zoidberg: Then why one price per country? Why not a multitude of prices depending on declared revenues for each client?

There isn't just one profile per country. Why not make richer people pay more?
avatar
realkman666: Because it's not based on personal income, but on regional economy.
Which is unfair on a personal level.

Besides, we're not talking bread or heating, but of videogames, a luxury good...

What's to do then? Let's pirate games massively so that they lower the prices to a more acceptable price?

Meh...

A unique price is the best solution to me, regional sales could be a solution too, I think.

1 The content has already been made at the time of release
2 The content has already brought an extended amount of money to the devs.
3 The game arrives months and months after the console version and at the same price (if I'm not mistaken)

All this can easily fail to give incentive to some people to throw money at the devs...

Hi.

PC version wasn't delayed, we've said as much many times. Every version missed the initial release date, but there was no delay as such after that, each version is being released as soon as it's finished.

You're mistaken. It's already 33% cheaper on Steam, GOG and Humble than it is on the PS4 store. And that's not including the 9-10% discount we're offering on pre-orders.

Which we think is a pretty good deal.

If it's not a deal for you, then sorry about that, but we pretty much did all we could. :)

We're also curious how you know how much the DLC has brought.

I find that the minimum wage should be the easy default measurement.

It's "free" right now.

Well, it's not. This way of doing makes it preferable to live in a country with poor socialistic values. Allow a subpar minimum wage. I don't think it's a good idea to put political views into this matter.

OddworldAdmin: We're also curious how you know how much the DLC has brought.
And I'm curious where you got the idea that I know such numbers.

I was talking in a general sense.

And I've actually checked the screenshots now and it does seem "some" work has been put into it, so I'd put the price range as worth it.

I stand by my opinion for the rest though.

You know, without the regional pricing I'd gladly have ignored it, but it just makes a certain number of annoying things put together, and in the end it starts to count to me. Nothing against you personally, it's just idealistic thinking.

I don't know what that means, but good for you.
