Next year, developer Just Add Water will be bringing an updated port of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath to the PlayStation Network.
The quirky first- and third-person shooter was originally released in 2005, and had players taking the role of the bounty hunter known as the Stranger. The game had a quirky feel that you'd expect from an Oddworld game, with players using "live" ammo (read: animals and bugs) to take out enemies.
The updated version of the game will boast updated visuals at 720p, along with updated graphical bells and whistles that you'd expect from a current-gen game. The title's dialogue is also being remastered, and Just Add Water is shoving PlayStation Move support into the thing for good measure.
The Stranger's Wrath remake is slated for an Easter release, with even more "bonus material still to be revealed."

Also, I love how all the Xbros freak out and turn up the damage control just because something isn't announced for their precious Xbox, too.
Anyway, excite.

all i can say about this is, im really annoyed.
This is how remakes should be done now too. Who cares about backwards compatability? I'll take HD revisions over BC anyday.
Funny that it's coming to PSN, considering how the original game was never on the PS2. Not that I'm complaining.
Love this game and I will happily shell out the monies for this when it comes out. Hopefully it comes out on 360 as well, everyone should play this game.
This was my favorite Xbox game, so I reallllly hope this ends up coming to XBLA!
