"Oddbox" Announced: All 4 Oddworld games to be released on PC via Steam
Dark Xinos (remember him?) posted an URL to me - He can't log on anymore since re-setting his password isn't working for him, so I'm posting this on his behalf. :)
And yes, the Oddbox appears to include Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath, it seems - OWI are porting them to the PC. :) http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009...d-games-on-pc/ Seems these games won't die with the original Xbrick after all. (EDIT: Oh wait my mistake, seems this has been discussed already. Still, there we go. It's emphasised now.) |
Thank god for you... seriously man this is great news.
*happy* |
Wow, this is amazing news! Now I wish for Oddworld on PSN, but that will probably never happen...
|
Apparently it is coming to PSN, I don't know I just heard it on the interweb.
|
This will make my Christmas the best Christmas ever. :tard:
|
Ok, so a while back in this thread I was very pessimistic and argued about it in several posts. Well, I can admit being wrong and I'm happy to eat crow now. ;)
|
I really do wish they'd stop telling us what season it comes out in. It really annoys me.
|
Somewhere during winter. February 30th probably.
|
Are you trying to piss me off?
|
For the record, when he told us, Lorne spelt it "The Odd Box".
|
This is brilliant news. I'm looking forward to hacking MO and replacing the cartoon bouncing sounds with the bouncing sounds of the Fuzzles from Strangers Wrath.

Although it will take some time to get to the point where we can mod it :p |
Is..is this real? Ohh snap this is awesome!

I'm sorry, isn't this already being discussed over here?
http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=18572 Oh, hi DarkHoodness , nice to see you around |
Can't wait! OWI is coming back!

First screenshots from the PC version of Stranger's Wrath? Copy/paste the links:

I'd replace Stranger with a Big Bro, swap Clakkers with Mudokons, Wolvarks with Sligs... etc
|
man those look awesome! cant wait
|
Wow, those look just like promotional screenshots for the release of Stranger’s Wrath nearly five years ago.
I wonder why. |

OSHT! Where is the blue X button on my keyboard?! I don't seem to have one on my PC. I will buy the game and never be able to exit the prison at the beginning.
|
Or you could by a blue keyboard.
|
And a yellow one when you need to shake off damage.

As a matter of fact after I posted them I checked Xbox screens and saw it myself too. So I edited my post numerous times back and forth but finally decided to leave the pictures in because that's what the game is most likely to look anyways. They ain't going to do some big graphical overhaul and that's probably how much they can get out of the game, taking into consideration they're promotional screens which means to show the game in best possible light before downscaling for the console. So what's glorified promo shot for the Xbox is actual ingame for the PC. So at the end I left the screens so people could see how the game looks in high resolution because most other screens you can find are in low res. |
sorry, i was refering to myself bein a schmuck, thought i'd been duped, yeah this is probably how its gonna look cheers

Can't wait till the Oddbox comes out. I'd love to play MO again. The 360 doesn't do it justice at all.
|
Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you thought for certain those were PC screenshots, hihihi. I saw the question mark in your post. I agree that a higher resolution/clarity of image would be fantastic.
|
I only got to play the GBA version of MO, as I don't own an Xbox (normal or 360), so this will give me the opportunity to make up for that.
Well, now I know what I want for my birthday next year. |
