To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the classic Another World, Eric Chahi game is back on Steam (PC and Mac). The opportunity for young people to discover the game that has made ??its way to the MoMA in New York.
This Chahi guy did From Dust, right? Has the PC version still been fixed? Cause I want to play a modern god game.
Don't personally care for this game particularly where it's more masochistic with the trial-and-error compared to old Prince of Persia or Flashback. Those other cinematic platformers have just more going for them.
This was Pre-Flashback though, hence not as good as FlashBack. But they drew the right lessons out of Another World and mostly eliminated the trial & error elements in FB. I really love them (Delphine Soft) for Future Wars and Operation Stealth too. Need to check out Bermuda Syndrome one day.
Defo not pointless, perfect game for steam, maybe an introduction to younger audiences will inspire younger devs to make something along these lines. A game way ahead of its time style wise

Im sure You would love it too. I mean Bermuda. Amazing game. And not too short, if I remember right.
2 people (if that's the case) aren't really making a game, though. They are merely updating an older game, and when I say updating, it's just straightening out the lines created by pixels. As I say, a bit of a waste of time. Why not give it a slightly more drastic overhaul?

i'm talking about the 2 guys (Eric Chahi and Jean-François Freitas) who made the full game on 1991.
