Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee New N' Tasty! Summary
Latest Updates
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty launches today on PC, Linux and Mac
The "built from scratch" remake of the original Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is releasing today on PC. Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is finally available for desktop gamers having already released on PS4 back in July 2014. Much of the original team worked on this next-generation version of the classic PS One game, and even supports the old control layouts for extra nostalgia. Achievements and leaderboards join the fight.
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty will arrive on Steam next month
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty received a pretty positive reaction when it was released on PS4 last year, and now the remake of the classic (and infuriatingly difficult) 1997 platformer Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is coming to PC. It will be available on Steam on February 25, and will ship with the various post-launch improvements and tweaks made to the PS4 version, including classic controls, achievements, cloud saves and online leaderboards.
Oddworld creator "never saw a royalty check" despite his game selling 5 million copies
Oddworld franchise creator Lorne Lanning has claimed that despite his company Oddworld Inhabitants selling over 5 million retail copies of games in the popular series, they missed out on millions of dollars due to unpaid cheques. Speaking to Metro, Lanning said, "I sold over 5 million games at retail and I never saw one royalty cheque. Now if you go around and ask the rest of the developers who say, ‘Oh, we sold a million units!' Ask them how many royalty cheques they've had and it'll be, ‘Oh, well that's a sore spot'."
