| 28-09-08 / 00:32 : Another World 15th Anniversary Edition (cjed) |
 We could read at eurogamer.net an interview from Eric Chahi, about the release (one year ago) of a special version (remastered) of Another World, for the game's 15th anniversary. Graphics have been enhanced (HD resolution up to 2048 x 1536), with added details (including some atmospheric effects), however they keep the particularity that made its success. The original graphics resolution (320*200) wasn't suitable for display on recent displays. The sound also benefited from a remastering, and an audio CD is bundled : it includes musics from the original composer.The game features an additional level that was also found on the PC version, and new save checkpoints have been added to avoid frustrating. A video (making-of) and conception notes are also included. The game works on PC only, but the required configuration is very small. So it could perhaps work through emulation, if the emulator supports DirectX 8.1 and provides 32Mb of VRAM. The game is edited by Micro Application and can be buyed at Rue du commerce (14,90 euros, boxed version). Finally the site anotherworld.fr provides details about the game creation : videos, schemes, storyboad, screen captures and development hints. A demo version of the remastered edition is also available (22Mb), as well as the full version at download (priced 9,90 euros). |

The game can also be found at Surcouf (internet or Paris shops), priced 14,95 euros. |
We can read a full review of the new edition at eurogamer (published one month after the interview). There are better rating on other sites however. |
I played the original game during summer 1992, the full August month precisely, while completing 23 selected songs that I had started on the D-20 that year (masters 3A and 3B. I listed these in 93 in the Songs library in order for it to look easier with the numbers. In fact during late 92 and early 1993 I composed master 3C songs - on the D-20 also, but they weren't finished - and first songs made with the JV880, that were completed summer 93). |
