I wish they made a proper sequel to the Another World games.
Fucking awesome game. Heart of the Alien was Ok, but didn't feel like a proper sequel always.
Though the ending of the bad guy yelling at the good guy to bring on the beastie and then fighting it to the death willingly was fucking awesome.
Once I played Another World for days. Screaming from rage, for the developers chose one of the most unnerving progress system. One password per long scene, "learning through dying", "dying often trying".
At the same time it was fun. Sort of. Memorable moments and satisfaction after finally finishing a hellish sequence, like the underground section.
Heart of Alien was to Another World nothing but a streamlined popamole. In Heart of Alien, Lester died for the sake of game; so it's never gonna be exploited over and over again by equivalent of EA; be never turned into popamole next- gen date sim for homos. Respect this sacrifice FFS. Conrad Hart (Flashback) hadn't this luck. Even though he was put into hibernation for unending drift through space, he did not managed to escape a nasty fate.
To be placed in this nightmare of early 3D games:
We really lost nothing of value.
The world of Another World was worthless rubbish. One trick pony. Basically an anime approach to world creation. Things looking cool and "alien" with almost none of context, explaination. In particular, things shown in Heart of Alien. It didn't make any sense. Really. A laser whip... slave raids to villages NEXT TO the City (they didn't pay taxes or what?)... stinking little village next to city full of tanks and sci- fi energy devices... just what the fuck.
Yet the all unclear points fit Another World. It was clearly an one- shot game. Imagination could fill the gaps. Also, the player was too focused on not dying... and making those all jumping in underground cave, with one pixel precision. Sweet raptor Jesus, how I hated this underground lake.
There's no need for any Another World sequel. Just for any demanding game of long dead genre: action- adventure 2D platformer.
