High res source not available for "three little ones ".Source movie assets were originally rendered to individual 960x720 image files (and kept!) so relatively straightforward encoding new high-res movies.Re-rendered FMV movies (originally 640x480).User-interface replaced with original Oddworld Inhabitants concept design that couldn't fit into original Xbox's memory with the rest of the game.35+ trophies including a platinum trophy!.Flat grass replaced with "multi-based grass textures".Low poly environment dressing like pipes and trees which were hexagonal before are now round.A lot of textures were already 1024x high res but some were really low res and they've all been up-res'd to 512x and in some cases 1024x resolution.Poly count and textures updated for every character in the game.However, most of it still remains surprisingly fresh and after an hour, you’ll love what it has to offer.Stewart Gilray, Just Add Water CEO describes upgrades in greater detail: This is a game from the mid-2000s, after all. If there’s one thing holding back Stranger’s Wrath, it’s that some gameplay elements are mildly dated. The voice acting is also excellent and the sound effects are a trip, especially the cute little ammo effects. The music sounds remastered throughout, even though it’s still the classic soundtrack through and through. (What? He’s a tough guy, he can take it.) Stranger’s Wrath has never looked better, and we’re here for it. Watching him “dust off” any damage he’s taken is pretty cool, and makes you wonder what would’ve happened if Eastwood did the same. The levels look better than ever, and the Stranger’s animations are still charming. Otherwise, the tranquil beauty that Square One has kept in the game is fantastic. The game runs at a beautiful 60 frames per second, only having mild bits of slow-down in the Switch’s handheld mode. We’re happy to say that, no matter what version you go with, it looks absolutely gorgeous. We played Stranger’s Wrath across a number of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. (Source: Microids) It Looks Better Than Ever Once you get into it, however, Stranger’s Wrath feels just as good as it did in the “good ol’ days” of gaming. There are some things you’ll need to adjust to, mainly with Stranger’s somewhat limited jumping style. Not to mention it’s a hell of a lot of fun. All these years later, it remains surprisingly fresh, adding a dose of strategy to the proceedings. However, it’s also got first-person shooting elements, where you use your critters to distract and capture your prey. Most of it is in third-person when it comes to traversing the beautiful world you’re going through. Stranger’s Wrath truly succeeds with its gameplay. It leads to a revelation that’s a real game-changer, making the latter part of the game that much more exciting. It’s one involving a mysterious character building a dam and an interesting history that somehow ties in with The Stranger. It’s a great concept for the game, but there’s a deeper story here. He uses his effective (yet surprisingly non-violent) ways to subdue them, vacuuming up and “depositing” them back into jail. He journeys his way through a series of towns run by some interesting chicken-like folk, completing bounty missions. The game follows a Clint Eastwood-Esque cowboy named The Stranger (well, that’s not his name, that’s what we call him). Stranger’s Wrath’s world design is breathtaking.
