I remember way back in 1997 when I first spun up Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee in my PS One. At the time I thought it was the pinnacle of graphics and fun story telling. Now it looks like we are getting a HD rendition of some sort with Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty. From what I remember of the original and see below in the story trailer it is the same in most ways. But that is to be expected from a full remake am I right?

Yea, that's right, this is more a remake than a HD upgrade to the original Oddworld. Not only that, it is being rebuilt using all the next generation (technically current generation now) technology from the ground up. So pretty much the same story and general gameplay with the core of the engine and graphics being what can be produced using the PS4 and PC.

I am not a very big fan of games being remade or given a HD upgrade, but that is usually because it is the same game I've already paid for and enjoyed just with altered textures and models. I am a bit excited for Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty if they are really building everything brand new and not just changing the visuals without trying to use the advantages that have been produced over the last 15 years. Crazy to think that it has been that long. Now we only have to wait and see what is coming spring of 2014.
