First of all, great interview! Very laid back and casual. And Lorne is a great guy as well. I grew up playing Abe on the Playstation, then both Munchs Oddysee and Strangers Wrath on the Xbox. Great games! Ive been looking forward to something new from these guys, because the potential is massive. Lorne seems to have his head on track, so Ill just wish him best of luck. Looking forward to whats to come!
What I love most about the whole Oddworld phenomenon is everything extra they built around the games. There's the 'Ask Alf' blog where they'll answer all questions about oddworld in character, there's a whole encyclopedia worth of trivia, lore, history and even biology on the internet, all based on official information, and there even were plans for an entire movie at one point. (Look up the concept art, it was gonna be amazing!) I don't think I've ever seen any developer that cared so much about their creation as Oddworld inhabitants.
That guy is clearly awesome! Give him money! He's got the business smarts whilst not being utterly bereft of imagination and passion. Did he actually just say a whole bunch of honest things? It's so strange to see any developer for any product actually breathe life into his sell. It makes me all the more angry with Square Enix & Konami. Honesty + Enthusiasm = Trust = $s & £s
I am a huge Abe platformer fan and i am really looking forward to the day when I play the Exoddus Re-make. It might be called Oddworld: Twice Ze Flavour!
Oddworld: New n' Tasty Oddworld: Fresh n' Juicy Oddworld: New n' Munchy (I'm bad at these names) Oddworld: Squeek's Oddysee Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Reloaded
i love the first 2 in PS1 very dark and atmospheric, almost dreamlike, plus it is very cerebral and creative i understand that die and reload aint for everyone.
I liked new n tasty but i didnt like that the game was a lot less darker then the original... when i was very young i was actually scared to play the game. It was very dark and gorey.
MACKEM_uk Well maybe but it got lot less darker then the original. Just look at the main factory, in the original it was like rusted steampunk and kinda creepy but in the remake it was very futuristic looking and a lot of neon lights and everything. I still liked the game though.
All ps4 games that u get a hard copy of, should have a list of promising kickstarters on there (ps ones obviously) because not many people know about the kickstarter and its not advertised unless you know what it is
Daniel Parker you probably know this because 2 years has passed but in case you don't.. Oddworld Soulstorm is coming... its a complete remake (reimagining if you will) of Abe's Exodus, it was what Lorne wanted to do originally without all the time restraints. I honestly can't wait.
Lorne Lanning looks a lot different than I remember. New and Tasty was a solid remake but I don't think it was as good as the original. It's best to just leave the controls alone for the Exoddus remake.
I think the PC version has an update, but not the PS 4. There's other problems the game has as well anyway. The aesthetic was too artificial and in your face, compared to the more subdued and believable type in the original game. The "cinematic" camera did the game no favours either.
I have always loved Abe's Oddysee and proudly bought New n' Tasty on PS4, but I find that even all these years later, the game is still nails and I am stuck on roughly the same part as I was when I was a kid. I should play it more but everyone else in the house just can't stand watching my endless failures. Being an old-school gamer, I can laugh it off and persist, but it must be frustrating for other people to see. lol. Hello. Hello. Follow me. Okay. **Chants**
Hi Hollie I know this question isn't related to the video above but I was just wondering why we Asian users don't get the PS Plus games that other users get. For example, in July all European and American users will be getting Rocket League. However according to the Asian PS Blog, we Asian users won't be getting Rocket League. Why is that?
Callum Milner I guess you're right. It's still pretty depressing to know that I won't get the PS Plus games that you guys will enjoy. Sucks to be Asian.
OOoooOOoOOoO Exodus is being remade? Not as good as oddyssey, but still awesome. The engine is made, so if they did need a kickstarter, it wouldn't cost too much.
I did not like new n tasty. Especially all the mudokon banter was distracting. It felt more like a fan remake. I still play the original games though and I recently got my hands on the book The art of Oddworld, which is absolutely essential if you are a fan.
Money's the only way right? Screw 'easy' access into the industry and 'cheap' titles, that never created anything good... right?... He sounds a lot like an old movie or music producer to me.
Why the hell didn't they include sad, angry, drunk, blind and hyper mudokons?! I know they weren't all in the original title but still, I was expecting them all since this is New 'n' Tasty.. Felt a bit stale after a while though I gotta say, and I loved the originals.. And the edges of this game are sharp and, imo, need smoothing out, it looks too "clean" for me.. Otherwise it's a good effort..
God I love this franchise!
Lorne is a legend. Frigging love the guy! I really hope we see Exoddus soon! :P
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath needs a comeback!!!
Lorne seems like such a cool dude. Would love to meet him one day. Great interview!
Someone give that dude a medal.
I'll make the call
Man this guy is so humble. Got so much love for Oddworld, me and my father spent a lot of time playing this game when I was a young lad.

GAAAAAASSSSSPP! I forgot I still have this in my PS4 Library! WOOO!!!
Krontok Your Monday just got a whole load better! - Hollie
Exoddus, make it happen!
Yes!
+TheRottenTruth They announced on Twitter they are working on Exoddus!
Its been like 10 years. When are we gonna get a sequel to Stranger's Wrath. Because that game was freakin phenomenal.
That guy is clearly awesome! Give him money!
He's got the business smarts whilst not being utterly bereft of imagination and passion.
Did he actually just say a whole bunch of honest things?
It's so strange to see any developer for any product actually breathe life into his sell.
It makes me all the more angry with Square Enix & Konami.
Honesty + Enthusiasm = Trust = $s & £s
The legendary limitless luscious Lorne Lannings?
Lorne Lanning is one of my Game Industry heroes. :) i love the oddworld stories and universe.
This game brings back good old memories #respect
Well, this is one of the best interviews, especially because it feels so natural and not like a forced conversation.
I would love to see them do the new i.p he was talking about. Oddworld is such a great universe, would like to see what else they can come up with .
This man is a legend. I hope he produce games at a faster pace.
WHAT WHEN HAS THIS BEEN OUT?! my god I am going to download now I've been living under a rock. Abe is love. Abe is life.
Let's hope nobody makes Abe is love, Abe is life....
I was only 9 years old....
James Brennan look at my reply to Magicaldeadguy
Welp, Oddworld has been rule 34'd. Rule 34 is now officially an objective truth...
Oddworld was my childhood. I loved that they made a remake sooooo good
I wanna look as good as Lorne Lanning when I'm his age. Dammit, I wanna look good like him right now!
What a gorgeous man
I hope they make a continueation to strangers wrath that game was so dope
OMG he said they are working on Exoddus! Hopefully it happens!
I am a huge Abe platformer fan and i am really looking forward to the day when I play the Exoddus Re-make. It might be called Oddworld: Twice Ze Flavour!
Oddworld:New n Tasty!
Oddworld:Twice the Flavour!
Oddworld:Spooced Up!
Oddworld: -I got nothing...
Oddworld: New n' Tasty
Oddworld: Fresh n' Juicy
Oddworld: New n' Munchy (I'm bad at these names)
Oddworld: Squeek's Oddysee
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Reloaded
Im 13 and I grew up with Abe's oddysee! XD
Get other kids your age into this then kiddo tell all your friends to keep this amazing game franchise going.
I'm 20 and this game is pure nostalgia and I love it
why dont you guys make a top ten games of the year or something like that?
it seems like a good idea
i love the first 2 in PS1
very dark and atmospheric, almost dreamlike, plus it is very cerebral and creative
i understand that die and reload aint for everyone.
I like Lorne, he's a real authentic guy.
wow the comment section here is more mature than on xbox i love it Playstation master race baby
Sony God The PlayStation Access community are pretty great :D - Hollie
***** Probably one of the few comment sections that are not the default internet age of 12 :D I loved Abe on my PS1...
Gaming master race but, I'll take Playstation :)
Callum Milner I'm 16 and I have a large interest in Oddworld
Sony God I think it has to do with the franchise being from the 90s. Also not a casual friendly game at that.
Lorne Lanning is fascinating.
I'd kinda like a remake/sequel to Strangers Wrath, looking back on it now it reminds me of what Prey 2 was going to do.
You can't knock his honesty
Even tho the other games were good, exoddus in my opinion is the backbone and crowning achievement of the business
I want a strangers wrath remake for the ps4
Great interview! (:
My fav dude in the business
I liked new n tasty but i didnt like that the game was a lot less darker then the original... when i was very young i was actually scared to play the game. It was very dark and gorey.
It might have been because you were young why you were scared. not it being dark?
MACKEM_uk Well maybe but it got lot less darker then the original. Just look at the main factory, in the original it was like rusted steampunk and kinda creepy but in the remake it was very futuristic looking and a lot of neon lights and everything. I still liked the game though.
Exodus scared me more with the mudokens with stitched up eyes so they didn't know what they were mining
The sligs always scared me as a kid. I always ran out of the room, when they turned up
The Beastois for me it was the first Paramites.
I love Lorne
Didn't buy New'n'Tasty yet since there is alot of games to play for me right now but it will definitely follow.
All ps4 games that u get a hard copy of, should have a list of promising kickstarters on there (ps ones obviously) because not many people know about the kickstarter and its not advertised unless you know what it is
I still play the original Abe games to this day, hoping beyond all hope we get an Exoddus remake, I have younger siblings in need of gaming education.
Daniel Parker you probably know this because 2 years has passed but in case you don't.. Oddworld Soulstorm is coming... its a complete remake (reimagining if you will) of Abe's Exodus, it was what Lorne wanted to do originally without all the time restraints. I honestly can't wait.
Incredible creator, brilliant attitude. Take note EA
KICKSTARTER! I will give you all of my money. PLEASE I NEED MORE ODDWORLD GAMES
Lorne looks like a movie star
genuine person.
There needs to be a strangers wrath 2 #strangerwrath2
Lorne Lanning looks a lot different than I remember.
New and Tasty was a solid remake but I don't think it was as good as the original. It's best to just leave the controls alone for the Exoddus remake.
***** I think there was an update where they included a classic controls option. :)
I think the PC version has an update, but not the PS 4. There's other problems the game has as well anyway. The aesthetic was too artificial and in your face, compared to the more subdued and believable type in the original game. The "cinematic" camera did the game no favours either.
Atari Anger Yeah, they also added the ability to side jump by tapping X. This was really necessary!
Hollie = flirtatious! ;)
Are we going to get the series of six games that we were promised the first time around?
Damn Hollie looks good
This dude is such a flirt, look at his presence in her space
got to support oddworld awesome games guys
I have always loved Abe's Oddysee and proudly bought New n' Tasty on PS4, but I find that even all these years later, the game is still nails and I am stuck on roughly the same part as I was when I was a kid.

liverpool I'm very sorry but I don't have the answers for that, I only work within the UK - Hollie
Alright, that's fine.
Callum Milner Ok thanks for answering. It really annoys me that the developers did not cater for Asians. Are they racist?!
Callum Milner I guess you're right. It's still pretty depressing to know that I won't get the PS Plus games that you guys will enjoy. Sucks to be Asian.
liverpool but atleast you have GuiltyGear XRD and a Batman game even though its only until July 15 but its for everyone in R3 right?
strong forearm Lorne
A reboot of Oddworld!? HELL YEAH!!...but for PS only?... awww
What about Hand of Odd? What's happening with that?
What about stranger wrath I missed this game
Hi Hollie.
What's next for Medieval?
But was he luscious?
please make more abe games
OOoooOOoOOoO Exodus is being remade? Not as good as oddyssey, but still awesome. The engine is made, so if they did need a kickstarter, it wouldn't cost too much.
Limited Lousciouness Lorne Lanning
Hollie is so kissable.
giB ME DA GOODS LAMB LEMMING
Ugh! Let him speak. Always finishing his sentences
her staring at his mouth the whole time, was pretty distracting. Love Oddworld!!
The game is so hard
If I was a millionaire I'd totally help fund new ips
When is dead island 2 coming out?
Q1 2016 I think
I swear to God, I thought it was out already LOL.
Hello
If Delsin The Badger replies i will take a lemon put it in my mouth and say "I'm a sour mouth!"
I did not like new n tasty. Especially all the mudokon banter was distracting. It felt more like a fan remake.
I still play the original games though and I recently got my hands on the book The art of Oddworld, which is absolutely essential if you are a fan.
EXODUS EXODUS EXODUS!!
Money's the only way right? Screw 'easy' access into the industry and 'cheap' titles, that never created anything good... right?...
He sounds a lot like an old movie or music producer to me.
Hmmm maybe they can fix munches Odyssey??
Sensing some sexual tension here....
can you still fart and say follow me
Why the hell didn't they include sad, angry, drunk, blind and hyper mudokons?! I know they weren't all in the original title but still, I was expecting them all since this is New 'n' Tasty.. Felt a bit stale after a while though I gotta say, and I loved the originals..
And the edges of this game are sharp and, imo, need smoothing out, it looks too "clean" for me.. Otherwise it's a good effort..
I hate Oddworld.
Mystery Mudokon lol XD
Mystery Mudokon You just gotta get the hell off Rupture Farms, bro
