Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD Remake Trailer: This Game NEEDS TO Be On A Disc!

With the blessing of Oddworld Inhabitants, The fine folks at Just Add Water have been hard at work on an HD remake of one of the best (and still under appreciated) original Xbox games ever made. While it looks absolutely spectacular, the game is currently only set for a PSN release, which stinks for those gamers who’ve never played the original, don’t have PSN accounts or happen to be “unlucky” Xbox 360 owners (the original game wasn’t backward compatible). I really, REALLY think this game absolutely NEEDS a disc version, even if it’s part of a multi-game set in the future. Even better, I bet that a lot of folks would pay for an Oddworld HD Collection on disc similar to the solid HD collections Sony and other publishers are putting out on the PS3. Hopefully the PSN version will sell well enough to make this happen, as I’m not the only one who wants to see this game get a little more of a permanent form at some point…

This super-fast arcade racing franchise may not yet be as big as certain others, but it’s hard to top for a pick up and play experience that caters to folks who prefer a game that’s not even close to an accurate simulation yet still tons of fun. Check out the trailer for the upcoming Vita game, which is looking like it’ll be a launch title in Japan come December 17. No doubt it’ll also be part of the US launch lineup, but don’t hold me to that…

Well, now – it’s definitely looking super on the Vita and I like the new characters as much as I did the ones in the Wii original. Given that the Vita game isn’t a direct sequel, I’m willing to forgive it for not going for the exact same look as the first game. Hopefully, the small but dedicated fan base that played and enjoyed this on the Wii will like what they see as well. It looks as if KOnami is releasing the game in Japan, but as for who’s got the US publishing rights, your guess is as good as mine. Let’s hope Xseed does the deed once more for continuity’s sake.

Ah, nostalgia… SG is looking really cool and hopefully will capture the absolute best of the 2D and 3D Sonic games in one package. The last couple of Sonic titles have been quite good, warts and all, but I think Sega is on track to deliver one of the best games featuring its popular mascot to date. If not, it’s off the the glue factory. That or I can see some failed mascot from days gone by taking Sonic’s place. Anyone remember Socket, Pulseman or Awesome Possum? NO? Hmmm.. then again, I think Sonic’s job is quite secure after all…

TGS 2011: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom Trailers/Reversible Cover Art

Capcom is really going all out to give MvC3 fans the best version of the game outside the arcades. There's even a reversible cover set for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions with voting taking place on the Capcom Unity blog so fans can let their voices be heard on which they think is the better cover. I'm betting most go for the Japanese cover art more because they think Japanese-designed game covers are best (which isn't always the case). Check out the three trailers above and below the jump to see what all the fuss is about.Read more »
