From the PlanetPlayStation.com feature article:
"Gamers can spin it however they want, but the fact remains that the PlayStation Vita is not in a very good place at the moment. I’ve rubbed a lot of readers the wrong way when I say that Sony’s latest handheld desperately needs more games. It’s understandable, because it must be difficult for gamers who invested upwards of $250 on a device that doesn’t have much worthwhile software. But even though these folks and I don’t see eye-to-eye, I won’t deny that the Vita is a handheld platform worth owning. Well, maybe it’s not worth owning right now, but some awesome downloadable PSN games are coming, so the time to own a Vita is approaching."
Garethvk:
Here is a look at the new HD version of the game played on a PS5. I am not a fan of the camera system which makes viewing in third person harder than it should be but the game looks great otherwise.
I liked the game back when it was released, especially the squirrel-gun of course (were they squirrels? Not sure) and the other weapons, and some fun enemies. A genuinely original game, but I doubt I’ll bother with the remaster. When you look at the textures they really feel low-res and outdated.
Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee and Exoddus on PS1/PC are 10/10 phenomenal. Munch’s Oddysee is a 7, Stranger is a 6, New and Tasty is also a 6, and SoulStorm is sadly a 3. I’m a massive Oddworld fan and I have been incredibly disappointed with the series after the original two titles.
Neil writes: "For many the mere mention of an Oddworld game ushers up memories of Abe and Munch, even more so after the recent release of the brilliant Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition. But there's more to this universe and some seventeen years ago Stranger rocked up to deliver his wrath to the OG Xbox. It's fair to say it didn't go down as well as expected. Now though he's back, as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD hits Xbox and PlayStation."
Excellent game. It was a bad decision not to launch on PlayStation initially.
I have it on PC, but highly recommend those with a Playstation or Xbox to give this one a go. Great game.
Ok, good game, i finished it on og Xbox, PSVita and PS3. But... enough, wasn't it better if they made a part 2 or something?
Shame, PS5 and XBSX could have easily ran this at 120fps. Even if they targeted a lower resolution like 1440p or 1800p still would have been worth it.
I can run this thing 1440p 60fps on a rig I have with a now ancient 680 in it. The Series S should be able to do 4k 60, 1440 120 with no issue.
Switch has received a few different entries in the Oddworld series, and it now looks like they’ll soon be bundled together.
Just give me Final Fantasy VII (just announced as coming to the Vita store soon)... Still these are some pretty solid downloadable titles, and the Vita desperately needs them....
Was it really necessary to start this positive news with this?

Look, will you stop speaking as if you know Sony fans. We KNOW it needs more games. We are NOT in denial because we paid a lot for it. This is really getting on my nerves. There are lots of games for the Vita. The only reason it needs more is because some people have different tastes. It's partly the medias fault that the Vita isn't selling because you go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on (if you read that sentence, it'll give you an idea what you sound like to us)
Jump off that bandwagon and think for yourselves. Hope you don't mind that criticism. Wouldn't want to rub you up the wrong way
"game-starved Vita owners"
Do we have to list the myriad of great Vita games already out on the system under EVERY article so that you sorry excuses for journalists finally get over that tired cliche?
One thing is annoying me with Vita now it's NO multi account. I can't buy anything from my original account cause i changed country and the currency is not the same.
Most of these games have been on my list for quite a while now :D Btw, the author couldnt simply put split his 7 page article into just 2? Gah :L
At least this list will help vita owners be aware of upcoming vita psn games.
