Steam is probably the first place that'll get them up, but hopefully they'll also be downloadable from GOG.com and Amazon.

Do Amazon sell digital downloads? Unless it's going to be released as a physical package (which is unlikely), I'd say the first two retailers are much more likely to sell it.

From what I've heard it's going to be a port. So I doubt new features will be included.

Ooh, I see. Shiny.

I'm starting to really doubt whether this thing will actually come out. Wasn't it Lorne's hope to release this around Christmas, and even then, wasn't MO and Stranger just a possibility?

Well if it doesn't include MO and SW there is no point at all, as AO and AE are already available on steam.

i need to play SW as i dont have a xbox :(

Oddbox will weigh 5-10Gb?

Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus - About 2x0.7GB
Munch's Oddysee & Stranger's Wrath (Xbox... i think PC will be similar) - About 2x4GB
So... yes

But with steam you can download them separately if you want..

As amazing as that would be, no. There may be a chance they'd try in the future, but I doubt it.

He's something to think about while your waiting day after day for it to be released.

When it's finally released, we're all gonna buy it, play it, finish it in lets say a week and then...the waiting will continue once again!

You may wanna find another hobby to hold you over if you haven't already, it's gonna be great when it is released don't get me wrong, but don't get too excited...Did I use too many commas?

You'd be amazed how long ago I found other hobbies... and other excellent games to play by the way. At this state I'm not getting excited about any announced project anymore until we get some actual proof it's going to happen.

Same, They should at least put some infomation about the OddBox in the Steam news. Or maybe release cover art.

You know what's bugged me ever since this news was announced? The use of the word "Oddbox" to refer to the digital distribution of MO and SW. When the Abe games first came to Steam, no one was going "YAY! The Oddworld Pack is available!"

Just throwing that out there.

Probally because we all already had AO and AE. Or because something being availible on Steam isn't really thrilling stuff.

Probably because putting AO and AE on Steam was simply re-releasing the existing games. MO and SW on the other hand are a totally new paradigm; being the Xbox games ported to PC.


Yes, 'paradigm' is my word of the week.

That's not even a paradigm.

Why don't you and WoF go off and have a Paradigm Party and piss all over my parade?

Also, read the first definition http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paradigm

You wish.

I'm not bugged by the level of excitement. I'm bugged by the use of the term "Oddbox" to refer to half of the components of the Oddbox.

ANyone have a link where i can read or see anything about this Oddbox? i lost both my MO and SW cds somewhere so i might have to buy the box lol

Would the Oddbox make history? i can't think of any Xbox only games that have been ported onto another console?

Halo 2 was released on pc about 2 and a half years after the xbox version, does that count?

Balls, it would be.

Fable on PC is a port from Xbox... Jade Empire too
Both on PC are enhanced versions

Then, what Josh said. I have no need to be excited for half of the Oddbox, because I already own two copies each of AE and AO legally.

Hi everyone¡ I'm a new member of this forum and this is my first post. Only say that I've been waiting a long time for the "Oddbox" I've never played to the Oddworld's games in Xbox and with the Oddbox I'll can play them once for all.:D

Yeah i can't wait either i lost my MO and SW so ill b glad to also possibly see a bit of a graphics change.

EDIT::also thanks max for the link xD
