duke nukem I MEAN OddBox Forever

I love the fucking rage going on here. We're even getting people who haven't posted in ages having a quick moan. Christ.

Mac and PC are both very capable machines. So don't start the pc is better than mac or mac is better than pc discution --> Cause its useless.

The reason why they would do this is because Mac is gaining enormous momentum and attracting a lot of young people. Lorne has always been interested in trying new this, this could be one of them

And like I said before, it will most likely not be the reason for the delay.

Maybe we can have a PC vs Mac discussion, just so the thread will be more interesting.

Wil 03-15-2010 12:57 PM

By which you mean 'closed instantly'.

PCs are better than Max.

OddChipango 03-15-2010 08:43 PM

Repeat after me.

PC > Mac.

Good.

Nate 03-15-2010 08:56 PM

Repeat after me:

"I will pay attention to Max's post and shut up now"


For the record, Valve have put in a massive effort to port the Source engine to Mac OS. Once that's done, it's comparatively simple to port the games. OWI never seperated engine from game in the same way that Valve had, and they certainly don't have the same resources as Valve, so I sincerely doubt that any Oddworld game will be ported for Macs.

@Nate

Good point; though they might put a cider wrapper around it (Cider is a way to play windows encoded games on a mac via a simple wrapper, the only downside is that there is a minor quality loss)

But indeed good point Nate.

Did I ever mention I want the Oddbox? I might have indicated that somewhere, but I'm not sure...

Rayrockslots 03-16-2010 07:51 PM

I wonder if anyone involved in the production of the Oddbox is reading this topic.

Hi guys! Quick jerking off and make me a game!

Something worth metioning is that when I checked the IGN website very early this year it had Oddbox down for a Q1 release. They've now changed that to Q2 meaning they're probably in contact with Oddmobb. It's just a little thing I've noticed

Wil 04-08-2010 03:03 AM

Either that or they didn't want to appear stupid by proclaiming a Q1 release date when it's already Q2.

Taco 04-08-2010 03:17 AM

That's true. Well we know it's probably due some time this quarter from the information Nate gave us

Let's not get too excited...

Taco 04-08-2010 04:10 AM

Maybe I meant this quarter of the century

Don't get your hopes up. All we know is that it's more than likely happening this calendar year. Beyond that, there was no expectation or suggestion of a date.
