It’s a really good translation/recreation. My only wish is that the textures were more dirty/gritty and less shiny, more like in the original advertisement.
Conor Barden Hi! in part it came down to how well the PS4 theme renderer could do it justice-the pre-vis shots right before the final theme reveal demonstrate this. The original model utilized raytraced surface effects that the PS4 theme renderer cannot accomplish. We actually did implement a procedurally generated grimy surface initially, however the effect was a bit too shimmery - so we went with something a little sleeker :). The final surface is still actually fairly gritty, it’s just not as pronounced as the promotional trailer.
Not just kind of. It IS a new game. Whereas New 'n Tasty was a remake of the original, Soulstorm is NOT a remake of Exoddus. It is instead a continuation of the story from New 'n Tasty, using elements from Exoddus, but not being limited to that game in any way. So we will go to some of the same locations, but Soulstorm will not be to Exoddus as New 'n Tasty was to Oddysee.
I'd love for them to make a new game in the style of the old ones, which is unfortunately not gonna happen cause they changed, and times and technology changed. I wonder what they'll make after Soulstorm.
"Abe, just because life is doomed, and everyone wants to eat you, doesn't mean there's no hope. You need to look within, IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE! My favorite aspect of Oddworld Inhabitants inc, is their mercurial approach to language!
Guys please keep this universe alive, make a comic book series about Oddworld! I would even write for that!!! Dark Horse or Image Comics would be eager to do it!
Awesome work.I can't wait for Oddworld:Soulstorm to be released.I wish there would be some story background for shrink's human form.If I ever be riched I will donate you for reviving my childhood...
The original two Abe games and Inside have the same (detail aside) aesthetic to them, that... something that makes it entertaining despite the dispair in that world. I love it. Looking forward to the new game.
Looks solid. Any chance we could see a "port" of the Stranger's Wrath HD dynamic theme that was originally on the PS3? Its on par with this one in terms of awesomeness, and I would love to use it again with my PS4!
Hello, can you translate in french too please, it's seem so interesting ! I love this universe, for me this game is the best of all videogames. Thank you very much heroes 😏
it barely looks textured >_> just bake in a texture and lower the lights you don't need to "procedurally generate" dirt and the overshiny material is reflecting the blue light so much it looks like it's just blue, and the light is unrelated. and that frozen face is kind of a waste, it looks like a cheap png. the animation is cool, but the color of the whole thing is just all wrong
This looks almost completely untextured and is missing some little hardware details such as the microphone and what appear to be a lot of missing detail on the arms. The lighting isn't as dynamic and basically just relies on bloom with very little use of shadows, and the face being a static image takes a lot of the personality away. I'd expect a rendering made 2 decades after the original to appear more realistic, whereas this looks much worse. I wouldn't be disappointed but this is really the first time we've actually got any official content of the shrink in 20 years (and even then it was an unreleased trailer, can't get much lamer than that) and now it's just a ps4 theme you have to pay for that doesn't even look as good as the model from 20 years ago. I'd much rather just see him actually appear in a damn game finally since we don't even know what the hell it is.
Duplexide couple things: First, I can assure you that the model is not only completely textured but it is procedurally textured, and bump mapped. An element of that detail is likely being lost in the video capture, but the final product features a dynamic surface effect as well as the a fair amount of distressing. Second, Keep in mind that this is a highly optimized model that is being generated from series of surfaces astronomically more detailed then what the PS4 theme software is actually capable of. We are actually pushing it to the limit in order to bring all the major elements into play. Lastly, All the major hardware details that were present in the original model had either been carried over or reproduced. There are variants present in some of the concept art, but we did not remove anything that was present in the original. If you look at the raw model import at 3:08, the microphone was not actually present. Given our desire to stay true to the assets provided and NOT create our own interpretation, we did not add one. My guess is, the original model recovered from the alias file was not likely the final model which was used for the trailer, but possibly an iteration created along the way.

Thank you for your fast reply. It's interesting to know about how things like this are made. I've bought the theme :)
Thats excactly what i thought, it looks too plastic for me
it's a 21st century ghimmick to make every single thing possible in some games, be as shiny as possible. MAkes it look really ridiculous
I wished the face moved....
I fucking love this game since 1997
you're old af
Man that looks great! Amazing to think about how much difference those advancements in technology make.
My childhood was this game
same
I really hope to see the Shrink in Soulstorm!
Ayy same
Second
Shade's Insane Chamber sorry it has been confirmed to not be in the game
Yeah, still... not 100% out of the equation yet
Shade's Insane Chamber no it is
In an interview with caddicarus lorde lanning confirmed it won't be in soulstorm
Don't worry the shrink will be in the 2nd new oddworld game abes orgin
I'd pay anything for a new Oddworld game. Munch's Odysee was one of my favourite games growing up

Wish no longer
It's a reimagining
Bætnet yeah its technically what they wanted originally without the 9month time restraint.
I'd love for them to make a new game in the style of the old ones, which is unfortunately not gonna happen cause they changed, and times and technology changed. I wonder what they'll make after Soulstorm.

"Gaming gets odd"
Damn, this was more fascinating than I thought it'd be. It's easy to take for granted how much work can go into a PS4 dynamic theme. Great stuff
this was damn interesting!
Hoolopee, you like Oddworld? Damn that's awesome!
This is awesome. I never knew how SGI worked with the curves like that. Super interesting.
Guys please keep this universe alive, make a comic book series about Oddworld! I would even write for that!!! Dark Horse or Image Comics would be eager to do it!
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the game that started it all.
Quite enjoyed this look behind the scenes, thanks for sharing. Bought mine today and I couldn't love it more :)
Best PS4 Dynamic Theme Ever! you are awesome guys!
Awesome work.I can't wait for Oddworld:Soulstorm to be released.I wish there would be some story background for shrink's human form.If I ever be riched I will donate you for reviving my childhood...
i see this when i used the gameshark thanks for the video
my childhood is still alive
Why isn't this guy a character? The shrink could make a great antagonist
The original two Abe games and Inside have the same (detail aside) aesthetic to them, that... something that makes it entertaining despite the dispair in that world. I love it. Looking forward to the new game.
amazing job. me and my friend when we were kids replayed the shrink trailer hundreds of times.
Happy Birthday Oddworld!!!! I love The Promo at The Beginning it shows How The True beautiful Darkness of The Game
Im hyped to get this theme asap
The sequel Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus just turned 20 this month!
I love you oddworld inhabitants
Looks solid. Any chance we could see a "port" of the Stranger's Wrath HD dynamic theme that was originally on the PS3? Its on par with this one in terms of awesomeness, and I would love to use it again with my PS4!
Omg im soooooooo hyped rn cant wait omgs
You don't need to wait, this theme is already released ;)
Interesting video, thanks! I always wondered what exactly was that video inside the game's files... More, please!
Can someone just make a GPU that can natively render NURBs already? :(
Star Citizen uses NURBS.
It's cool the only question I have is why does the mudokon on screen look like crypto from destroy all humans
È stato il mio gioco preferito e mi è rimasto nel cuore il tenero Abe
It looks like the machine that welcomes Neo when he wakes up in the real world.
I like old version of oddworld
Do I have to own NnT on PS4 to get the theme? Or is the original going to be updated?
why dose NURBS sound alot like Subdivision modifier to me,
Im a Blender 3D User so that´s mostly im asking about it.
Can it be exported to a live wallpaper on pc?
Already bought it!
Very impressive.
Cool video but the end product looks like trash. It is supposed to be completed?
caddy? is that you?
Would be nice to get the icon pack from the theme to use for computer.
So damn cool and epic
Hello, can you translate in french too please, it's seem so interesting ! I love this universe, for me this game is the best of all videogames. Thank you very much heroes 😏
Too bad they forgot to texture it and now it looks like something out of ReBoot.
El juego que mas me gusta pos son todos a un que odworld abes exodus no lo e jugado pero se be que esta chido
I want this model
They better add this character in soulstorm
@Danke uhhhhhh what
0:17 Soulstorm
Physical? You don't mean
the cgi in s97 but still better than shin godzilla cgi lol
I can see your team lacked a texture artist.
it barely looks textured >_>
just bake in a texture and lower the lights
you don't need to "procedurally generate" dirt and the overshiny material is reflecting the blue light so much it looks like it's just blue, and the light is unrelated. and that frozen face is kind of a waste, it looks like a cheap png. the animation is cool, but the color of the whole thing is just all wrong
