Just Add Water releasing four Oddworld titles this year

Stewart Gilray retweeted this news story, thought it was worth sharing:

http://www.vg247.com/2011/02/24/just...les-this-year/
:
Just Add Water releasing four Oddworld titles this year

Just Add Water is releasing four Oddworld titles this year, according to a job listing its posted.It also says that more projects will be coming “over the next few years.”

The bulletin went up on the developer’s website today.

It was previously thought that JAW was working on six Oddworld titles, so with four coming out this year, you could probably have expeced those future projects to be the last two Oddworld-related projects and whatever else is in the pipeline.

But Just Add Water boss Stewart Gilray has told VG247 that “there are no specific number of titles coming from Oddworld Inhabitants in the future.”

It’s known that the Yorkshire-based developer is releasing a PSN version of Stranger’s Wrath at easter, with Oddworld Inhabitants boss Lorne Lanning confirming recently a HD remake of Abe’s Oddysee is in development.

When the deal between OI and Just Add Water was announced last July, Gilray wouldn’t go into specifics as to what to expect from the deal at the time.

“Oh goodness. That’s tricky, because anything we do do, if it happens to be on a console, will be HD,” he told VG247 last July when asked if we could expect new stuff or HD reboots.

“Whether it’s new or old or whatever, I really can’t discuss.”
Four titles? If they're counting Stranger's Wrath HD as a title, then that still leaves three new things to be released. Even if Abe HD is announced for this year, then there's still two projects that we haven't heard anything about.

Whatever they do, I hope they don't rush things - Quality over quantity. I hope it's smaller projects (as opposed to making whole new games) like Abe HD that they're using to re-start the franchise.

Can't wait to know what those 2 other projects are, assuming SWHD and AOHD are included in the 4 mentioned.

I'm guessing they'll release a completely new Abe game late this year since that is what most people seem to want. (Including me!)

There's a good chance that they'll remake Munch in HD at some point, but I don't think they'd do that this year because they've already announced SW HD and "Abe HD".

My gut feeling is that different console ports of the various games will be included as seperate titles.

To be honest, that's probably the thing I want most from JAW.

I can see why many people want a new Abe game, but Stranger's Wrath was the one that really had a cliffhanger in the end. I'd really love to see what happens with Sekto, Stranger and everything. SW was a great game on it's own, but I think it needs a sequel.

These projects are making up for lost time methinks. But hopefully they won't all be released in to short of a time gap, or there'll be too much and my mind will be blown etc etc.

That would be pretty stupid. Besides, they said they are releasing 4 new titles, which is good news unless they are going to call it different on every console.

Chances are that they will do HD versions of all of the old games, possibly with Munch being completely remade.

As far as we know, that's an OddMobb project and not Oddworld related.

Yup, BM's right the antisocial network (or whatever the new name is) is an OddMobb project and unrelated to JAW or Oddwrold.

I wonder if it's one of the four titles going to be released this year.

Those two images are both 320x480, which is the screen resolution for the first to third iPhone generations.

e: also note the little "i" in the bottom left corner of the screen with Abe. If that's not a touch-screen button I don't know what is.

But it's not on the second image, and it's also definitely an italic, seriffed "i", like so:

Looks like an iPod/iPhone app with just the GameSpeak to me. Which is still pretty cool.

I just hope they don't count this as a title...
