Another World (Out of this World) remastered

AFGNCAAP · 04-13-2006, 01:30 PM

...and to be released tomorrow, Idle Thumbs reports.

I should probably dig up the copy a friend gave me years ago - I've never even started it. If the game is as unspeakably awesome as everybody makes it to be, maybe it's worthy to support Eric Chahi 's return to business (not a word about the price yet, though

).

RLacey · 04-13-2006, 01:38 PM

If the price is good I'm going to get this, if only because I've never actually played it

.

It's a great game, but there's a lot learning through trial and error involved so be prepared for that.

The remake looks classy.

Fop · 04-13-2006, 02:23 PM

The gameplay is actually pretty bad, but the game has an other-wordly charm to it.

Dasilva · 04-13-2006, 03:03 PM

Its a classic. I love Another World.

Jolaes · 04-13-2006, 05:50 PM

the SEGA Megadrive and other platform versions were much better (digi music, more details) than the PC version. Still, the PC version was not bad in the era (EGAs, buzzers, Adlibs and 20 Mhz 286 ATs) ...

if you liked that, you probably like Bermuda Syndrome, too (for Windows).
THAT proggie was revolutionary for the age ('96 if my memory serves)

I remotely remember this game. It didn't have any speech did it?

eriq · 04-13-2006, 08:59 PM

three words.

Oh. My. Goodness.

FINALLY!

Out of this World was THE game. I beat it in two days. It was that good.

NcroManiac · 04-13-2006, 09:24 PM

Looks kewl! Hope it's sequel Heart of the Alien and it's spiritual predicessor Flashback will get an upgrate as well.
Man, this reminds me: I've yet to try out Heart of Darkness, also by Eric Chahi (made Future Wars btw, an underrated gem).
Should I try and hunt down a copy?

Naveed · 04-14-2006, 02:21 AM

What a great news! It is one of the best games of all time, simply too good.

Ninth · 04-14-2006, 02:31 AM

Excellent, but too damn hard for me.

Karmillo · 04-14-2006, 04:49 AM

The main site is only in spanish...does that mean theres no english version?

Rayvielle · 04-14-2006, 05:49 AM

Heart of Darkness is actually quite good fun. I sold it some way back, but wish I hadn't. I've had cravings to get it for a long while.

Might be easier to hunt down the PSX version than the PC one, strangely enough.

Think ebay might be the best bet.

NcroManiac · 04-14-2006, 05:52 AM

Okay, thanks! I was going to give it a try back in the day when it was new, but then the delays came and I just sort of forgot about it.
The first two Abe games are also a great recomandation for those who like puzzle platformers.

The site is no longer only in ~~Spanish~~ French, and the download is already being hosted. (22.7 MB)

EDIT: The file contains the full game, but to unlock it beyond the free trial, you have to buy a registration key for a price of... 7 euros.

I really liked Heart of Darkness, bought it from ebay.co.uk for 2 quids.

MdaG · 04-14-2006, 09:21 AM

There is a similar game called OneEscapee which isn't half bad and it's freeware nowadays

It's as hard as Another World though and thus more than I can stomach.
