Has anyone analysed the image yet?

Just gave it a quick pummeling in photoshop and there's nothing hidden in it that I can see. Literally just think they were trying to save space on the Tweet. "Limited Ed." is quite a common way of shortening that phrase. They probably didn't expect it to make us all go crazy... That's a bit of an oversight on their part if you ask me ;)
|
Gawddamn you lot are smart. I hope I can get in on the next round but I doubt I'll be much help!
|
Eh you'll fit right in, every effort helps a bit :p
Though I think even the crickets are taking a break from this arg thread as of late :( |
I guess the ARG is over then
|
My favourite bit was when it came back for like 3 days and gave us about 12 URL's with gibberish that lead to nothing, with no hints whatsoever :p the rest was genuinely so much fun though.
|
I Agree, just wish it lead to something other than a website an twitter post.

I guess this is progress, just not sure it good progress :/ :

ahah , fantastic, maybe now we will progress in a different way, after a long time XD :p |
Yeah hope this isn't the end of the ARG... I didn't manage to contribute enough but I had fun trying to decipher those sites with all of you. Hopefully they'll find a new way to take this.
Also, this is a bit of stretch but maybe those pages coming down recently may be part of the arg as I remember something about them not being able to wait. Or us not solving in time led to the death of those mudokons and that'll be referenced in the game as they said something about video game characters being harmed in this experience. Either way, hope we something on Soulstorm soon. |
I just hope this isn't the absolute end of the ARG, even if there's been no real rewards so far besides the pre-planned images of Abe's body which are pretty much seperate from the ARG, it's definitely been something. A little something that Oddworld Inhabitants threw together pretty much just for us.
I've not seen much talks about the ARG anywhere else but here on the forums and you can probably bet OWI weren't going to search every corner of the internet looking for people's progress besides our own little slice of arguable fandom. This entire thing has pretty much just been fan service for us guys here in our stagnating forum as thanks for sticking around through everything. And that's something. |

You could very well be right, we may have missed something along the way and just didn't solve it within their time limit. We may have just "lost the game". I hope its not the case but i still had fun watching and *trying* to solve this with you all =). Though now we are getting into november I'm still hoping for something new with Soulstorm, at least before the year is up. At this point more likely early 2017. If this is the end of this arg, it was a nice ride and i I'm gonna miss Ed that lovely sometimes flaky bastard ;p and RIP to you and the other fic characters, Rip.. If not then I hope they reload, update, redirect their method or whatever it is they are planning asap. In the mean time how about we post some new threads to our beloved dusty forum, hm?<3 |
Well, the ARG is its own reward. Yet you guys are complaining about it.

I'm so thankful they did the ARG. It was undeniably for us. It's something they didn't have to do, and it brought us together as a community. I personally have taken it as a thank you for our continued support. I'm grateful they did something to whet our appetites for Soulstorm, and if there's more to come I can't wait. :) Cheers, OWI.
|
I doubt it's over, to be quite honest.
|
Can someone give me a rundown on what's been uncovered so far (if anything). I don't feel like trawling through a ten page thread.

That just stops at the point when 1029.io was launched. I know there's been stuff going on since then, like the videos with the glitchy text and maybe some other things?
Speaking of which, didn't 1029.io look... different before? Now it has a border and some more red and stuff. Maybe it's just because I'm looking at it on a different screen but I swear that wasn't there the last time I checked. |
Stop being so lazy and read the thread.
|
Nothing strange ? :P |
Nothing strange other than Stranger himself that I can see. Anyone with a more keen eye pick anything up? Couldn't see anything in the static that stood out. There was a solitary frame in the "and also" scrambling bit that had inverted colours, but as far as I can see there was no message there either.
|
The only thing I really noticed is that when the word Available glitches it looks somewhat like "Abe" a couple times on screen at about 0:52 but I very much doubt that was on purpose
|
Technically off topic, but for anyone missing the ARG and fans of Westworld, there's an ARG style thing going on at the minute for that;

A sign that focus is returning to Soulstorm and parhaps dare i say even the ARG?
(Addressing owi background) http://i.imgur.com/1oezwhSm.png ...or parhaps I'm jumping the gun again |
I analized that SW Limited Edition video to see if it have something strange and it doesn't. I think the glitch effect is made on purpose.
|
Yeah, as i mentioned prior, the glitch made the word "abe" a couple times maybe i'll have a another looksee. Nothing new on ed and spirit twitter. Maybe try a few thing on the SO1029 page...
|
There's no Abe.
