Elsewhere, it's essentially a match with the original remaster Visually speaking, Switch has its resolution boost but there is a new feature - shadows on decorators such as foliage, something not seen on PS3.

Actually, there are three areas in total where PS3 has an advantage - we've discussed texture filtering and foliage draw distance, but less importantly, the pre-rendered FMV videos also have a small quality boost on the older system. The bump in resolution combined with limited bandwidth likely have a stronger impact on performance and may have prompted the developer to pull in the vegetation distance on the new port. My guess would be that this might be a bandwidth issue - a problem common with Switch titles. It's slightly distracting on the Nintendo machine, especially as it's almost a complete non-issue on PS3. On top of that, the PS3 version has far fewer foliage distance draw issues, while grass chunks noticeably pop in to view on Switch. Texture filtering is set to a low level resulting in blurry textures at oblique angles - so even wit itsmuch lower pixel-count, the PlayStation 3 game can actually resolve more detail in this area. While the resolution boost and MSAA option are nice ways to take advantage of the Switch's more modern GPU, there are some curious cutbacks on the conversion. Watch on YouTube A closer look at the new Switch port of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. The key takeaway is that the option is there for a noticeable boost to image quality on the Nintendo system, but the chances are that the default FXAA option is the one you'll stick with. It should come as no surprise to learn that MSAA offers a superior image for the most part with very clean edges throughout - but as you might anticipate, there are some performance issues as a consequence. The PlayStation 3 game utilised Sony ATG's MLAA edge-smoothing anti-aliasing, but the Switch port gives users three options: MSAA, FXAA or alternatively, no AA whatsoever. In addition, the Switch rendition also offers up new options, including a couple of anti-aliasing features. Just like PS3, 60 frames per second is the target.

With Switch, docked mode delivers a full 1080p output - which is a nice improvement over previous console versions - while handheld mode offers the same 720p as PS3, also making it a pixel-perfect match for the screen.
Looking back, the original Xbox version operated at 480p, the PlayStation 3 remaster delivered 720p while PS Vita offered up display-native 544p (albeit with a performance reduction back to the original 30fps). It's certainly an excellent game, but again, it's not quite perfect. The Switch version runs on the most modern console hardware the game has been hosted on to date, offering the chance for the best overall package.

JAW's updates eventually made their way to PC as well, while PS Vita also received a solid conversion of the game, albeit one limited to 30fps.
It wasn't entirely flawless, but it was an amazing conversion of a landmark game and its great to see its DNA persist into new releases years later. Character and enemy models were overhauled with hugely boosted polygon counts, detailed new textures were added to the mix, cutscenes refined, foliage improved and crucially, the performance was bumped up to 60 frames per second. It's in this rendition of the game where most of the major changes were made - changes that persist across many of the subsequent releases of the game, including the new Switch conversion.

Its lack of commercial success ensured that the series went silent until the arrival of the 2015 PlayStation 3 HD remaster helmed by UK-based studio, Just Add Water. The original Xbox release was something of a technical achievement, managing to push the hardware further than many other contemporary releases - but some might say that it was the right game at the wrong time, failing to break even. With its unique weapons system, open-ended mission design and fascinating story, it's a game that always felt special and still holds up today - and it's recently received an impressive Switch conversion. As one of the last major releases for the original Xbox, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is also one of the most memorable games on the system, taking the series to new places with a cross between third-person platforming and first-person shooting.
