The second stop on our E3 2012 screenshot tour takes us into the wonderful world of PlayStation, where games like The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, God of War: Ascension and The Unfinished Swan promise to astonish and old Oddworld adventures are reborn in HD. Sony may have missed an opportunity to really push the Vita during its press conference, but Sound Shapes, New Little King’s Story, Street Fighter X Tekken, Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and others also show that the powerhouse portable has even more quality software on the way.
My only question: where the hell is The Last Guardian? I understand the game not being ready for a stage demo, but a few new screenshots would have been a nice gesture, just to quell any vaporware fears.

Last I heard, Just Add Water’s update bringing PlayStation Move and stereoscopic 3D support to Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD was scheduled for late May. We’re now approaching the end of the first full week of June; obviously that original deadline was missed.
However, there is an update to report. JAW took to Twitter today to announce that the game update is in final QA testing with Sony and will be out “in the not too distant future.”
That’s not a whole lot to go on, I know, but it’s at least good to hear it should be available fairly soon. I’ve been anxiously waiting for Move support before buying the game myself, so I’m stoked for this to finally be coming out. Hopefully there aren’t any QA snags that slow the process down.
There’s a new trailer out today as well (watch it below), revealing another added update feature. According to the video, the forthcoming update will also introduce XMB and YouTube video capture.
JAW is going above and beyond with Stranger’s Wrath HD — and don’t forget the studio is also hard at work on a Vita version along with a Munch’s Oddysee HD update for both Sony platforms. Oddworld fans, rejoice!
]]>Just Add Water’s remastered PS3 version of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath gets its first-ever gameplay trailer today, and boy does the game look outstanding. EA really goofed not putting this one on multiple platforms years ago, and the Xbox 360’s backwards compatibility roster will forever have an enormous hole in it without this Xbox sleeper classic. At least PlayStation gamers are getting it now, with HD graphics and PlayStation Move support to boot!
Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD will be out for PSN download this fall. Stranger will also be coming to PS Vita along with Oddworld mate Munch.
