So the original game saved a man's life. Older man, lost his wife, went full depressive introvert, shut himself off from his family and the world. Had 200 pounds (British money) to his name, didn't want it to go back to the government after he..... "did the deed," so he went to a pawn shop and spent his money on a PS2 and a game (this was back when a PS2 was fairly new), and chose Oddworld because the character on the front, Abe, looked as miserable as he felt, lol. With all his affairs in order he decided, in a bout of curiosity before his planned end, "why not see what I bought," so he hooked up the PlayStation and started playing......and got hooked. His plans took a backseat to the story. The next day became trying to figure out the current puzzle, how to save all the other sad little aliens and move on, until his "plans" just seemed less and less important to seeing the ending to the game. By the end he had a complete change if heart, he got back in touch with his family and got a tattoo of Abe. The team who made the game got wind of this, and one of the conductors of the train is modled after him.
Good games distract the mind in a good way and sometimes teach, too. Overall, time really does heal wounds. I'm thankful for fun, thoughtful, and immersive video games.
1:16:00 my man needs a hug like no one's needed a hug before I only ever played Odysee. I never realized how dark the series got. How much all this started to weigh on Abe...
I feel like Soulstorm solidifes the target audience and message of the series. While the storybook approach of it's predecessors is really cool, it can kindof weaken the impact of the very sinister reality it's depicting (and mimicking).
Yeah. I have my critiques of the remakes, mostly in that the darker visual themes were towned down more than they needed to be, but I can respect them. And Soulstorm was beautiful.
The first 2 games i did enjoy but the 3rd one i kind of found myself rushing though just to get to the cutsceans. honestly think it would work better as a film series at this point rather than a game series
I love how this is basically the darkest series of games for kids. Chattel Slavery, genocide, chemical coercion etc. And they still won't allow any naught swears.
Thank you all for watching. I will be uploading strangers wrath later today. Also if you would be interested in a live gameplay stream of Soulstorm do let me know
Yeah, everything about Oddworld: Soulstorm makes it feel like a redux of Abe’s Exodus. This makes me wonder if they’re Retrofitting the Canon to make way for two new games (or movies, based on how many cutscenes were in Soulstorm?) to finish the story.
Would you like to play a custom map for Oddysee? It's a standalone mod (separate, bundled with fan-remade game engine) so you don't need to replace any original game files. The difficulty isn't high and the level design is very open. If you are interested, the download link is in the description of my newest video. (cant post links in youtube comments or they get deleted...) Hope you enjoy it if you decide to give it a try!
Oh I see. Damn... Yeah no worries 👍 A friend asked me yesterday if there's any sci-fi world-building type stories that I'm into, à la Star Wars (which I don't really know, but have a passing familiarity with due to cultural osmosis) and I said "Well, there is Oddworld..." He looked it up on his phone and said closed-mindedly "it's a video game..." Because of course, the medium of an artform determines it's merit. So I went searching for a compilation of all the cutscenes so he could experience the narrative without having to play it and found this. So thank you, actually!
Oh awesome. Glad you guys can enjoy it. That’s why I dident it I love oddworld and the cutscenes are awesome. Hopefully you enjoyed it. Hope you guys subscribe and enjoy the rest. I try to keep contact with all subscribers and make a awesome community. Thanks again.
I think Abe found out when he was in that temple. As for the others, I don't think Abe could bring himself to tell them they are drinking dead people. They would probably stop in disgust, then die shortly after from withdrawals. That last part is speculation but it's the only reason I can think of.
They have arms, it’s where there feet are supposed to be. They probably invented a lot of technology but once they took over more civilizations they probably had them build things for them so their arms are probably vestigial now
This was a cartoon remember watching on sci-fi back in the day. It had others too like a bedtime story of getting your eyes plucked out. I can't find it to save my life. Anyone know what it was?
so it only had 1 ending? and abe dies? or is it so hard to get the good ending because you have to find something that players haven't found since it came out?

@@koolfunnykat have you heard of Alf Gamble? You might appreciate his story!
This also happened with Assassin's Creed, stories like these are beautiful

An absolutely heart-wrenching, but wonderfully done scene.

Alf:"....Was she Hot?"
Remember this is the bad ending for not achieving enough good "quarma"
"We had forgotten our past, and now it was costing us our future... and even our souls."
The first 2 games i did enjoy but the 3rd one i kind of found myself rushing though just to get to the cutsceans. honestly think it would work better as a film series at this point rather than a game series
I thought that was the direction they were going to take the series in, if I remember correctly.
This was really the most random remake to have been made, lmao.
Thank god.
I love how this is basically the darkest series of games for kids. Chattel Slavery, genocide, chemical coercion etc. And they still won't allow any naught swears.
... for kids?
Man, the algorithm is so weird. Why’d this take 3 years?
No idea 🤷
@@universalnightmares sunk on my gunk dwarb
Can't believe I've never heard of this series, it's so good
This is where your 7up brew comes from.
Uhhh okay follow me! Okay! WOAHHHHHHHHH gets me everytime
Yes. It was always the long woahhhhhh for me too lol then just the sudden finish music lol
It's the bad ending btw, just saw the good ending where it eludes to their collective mother
Thank you all for watching. I will be uploading strangers wrath later today. Also if you would be interested in a live gameplay stream of Soulstorm do let me know
I never really played Odysee but I played the shit out of Exodus on the PS1, good times lol.
THOTH: Boy, thank the Odd! Something to drink!
@20:57 is that the COD zombies repair window/weapons purchase audio queue?
Yeah
Nerd 🤓
At 2:53 , the sound cuts out
To avoid strike due to copyright
When you realize the Mudokon race are literally just a plug in for the modern day consumer..
This story is meta as fuck

It's a shame that Exodus was rushed, we could have something similar as this back in the 90's.
I wonder if the Sligs were cursed for trespassing in the Paramite temple 🤔
Right On!!! Is the same guy doing all if not most of the voices in the second part?

Surely that's soulstorms bad end?
Yes
Surely there's a good ending right?😀
@@Robert-fr9wlyes
@@Robert-fr9wl RIGHT???😦
First time watching this...and why did it take me a while to realize he was talking in rhyme? 😅
I used to love playing this game
"Follow me" 😂😂😂
So soulstorm is an over write of Exodus,?
Basically yeah. It was rushed back in the 90's because Christmas was right around the corner and wanted it to be out by then.
This game seems a lot more silly then the current one I’ve seen
Hey mate, the audio drops out for a bit at 02:55
Yeah the copyright got noticed on a small amount of the music
Thanks for watching hope you subscribe and see ya around
Oh I see.

I was gonna say the same thing.. Hopefully that's the only audio cut
Yo! It’s the guy from The Binding of Isaac Four Souls!
that wasn't all cutscenes there were alot missing
I feel like this is a masterpiece like Lotr is but in a different dimension 😂 one where we worship the brewww
Is it just me or does the sound go out when the new meat is showed
For some reason they copyrighted that part for the music.
so like, what's the canon? Cause it seems obvious that they don't know the brew is made of dead people in Soulstorm
I think Abe found out when he was in that temple. As for the others, I don't think Abe could bring himself to tell them they are drinking dead people. They would probably stop in disgust, then die shortly after from withdrawals. That last part is speculation but it's the only reason I can think of.
Why would you upload only the bad ending for soulstorm?
How does an arm-less species come out on top?
They have arms, it’s where there feet are supposed to be. They probably invented a lot of technology but once they took over more civilizations they probably had them build things for them so their arms are probably vestigial now
@@octavioflores8996actually they walk with their hands and arms and the legs stopped working.
Voodoo
By employing the services of a legless species, of course
@@landonletterman831 technically the gluks did that to them.

Finally, inner peace. 😌
Is that a sonic.exe sound
why'd you only use the bad end for soulstorm
1:18:30 look he's asking the real questions 😎
Abe says “cakes” a lot
wow,what a cliffhanger
Audio just cuts out
No audio after 3 mins
Old games are the best, most triple A game are overrated crap compared to this gems with a good story and decent graphics for their era.
Agree
Masterpiesces that will never ever be developed in the game world again...(
The audio mutes on at least 2 points
Yeah they cooyright parts for sound for some. Reason
@@universalnightmares I see, youtube is weird.
@@universalnightmaresman youtube can't keep getting away with this.
No sound
hmmm4_4 can only seeek Goood show kinda nice
Holy hell...
Is that really how abe meets his end? That was the good ending? Cause man that's depressing :/
For some reason they included the bad ending of Soulstorm, the good/best ending is a lot more optimistic
@@eventua8474 good that makes me happy lol
So is exodus non canon
Soul Storm was supposed to be Exodus but a good sized chunk of it had to be left out because the company wanted it out by Christmas.
50:12
Audio cuts out and certain parts repeated. Not that I understand how to do it better... But if you wanna get better you gotta learn from mistakes

Those mudokon pops dont look tasty at all!
sorry i think the psx cutscene are way above, and not just for the edgyness, it was more serious.
😂😂😂 11:15
The soulstorm story line doesnt make friggin sense...
I still don't get it
What?
@@johnkonig865 huh? Whos this?
@@slip4510 I meant, what didn't you get about the story?

All the good ideas and script from this is based on Biblical Christianity.
What?
Ah yes I remember VP.Aslick from corinthians 23:12
Well actually... You are not wrong. Exodus could be related to this actually.
How and why?
It was based off star wars and Capitalism. The creator literally said so.😂
I had this game when it first came out. I had forgotten all about it.
