I think they've been pointing to the site going up this week,
and I'm just getting a lil overexcited
:/

This week still has 5 days in it =/

I'm not sure how to post a link to an entire conversation, but: http://twitter.com/stewartgilray/status/20735295130

Only way I know of is to go to Twonvo and enter "20741285210".

What do you guys think; Will the new site, when it's released, have any info about the new games? I personally think that they will re-design the site and give us just a little hint.

Also, hi, I'm new to the forums. :D

Hello. You may want to post a thread in Welcomes and Birthdays, as they're always... fun.

Also, this should be in the "New Oddworld Games" thread, as this is solely for the discussion of Twitter posts.

I think the new site will definitely have information about what to expect. I'm unsure of how concise it will be.

Oops, sorry about that! Also thanks for welcoming me.

Also, to keep this related (somehow) to the twitter thing, Abe and Munch are now discussing about what species is Almighty Raisin. Also, is MunchGabbit just a fan or another account by J.A.W.? :fuzconf:

It's a fan. MunchGabbit has asked AbeMudokon several times for information about what JAW are up to, when info will be released, etc. Xavier also noticed that MunchGabbit's times of tweeting suggest it's someone from the US, which JAW isn't.

Ok, thanks!

Yes, the PSN thing is totally unrelated to Oddworld. I've been playing a friends title at work on a test station, and yesterday their trophies went live, BEFORE release, so peeps can see that this particular game is on it's way.

yep that's why Munch has been removed from the Oddblog twitter list ;)

Apparently there is still going to be an Oddworld movie but its not in production at the moment

'@AbeMudokon Is there going to be an Oddworld Movie? or is this just an urban myth'

'@paulhibs3 yes, but not currently in active production'

I did wonder what happened to the oddworld movie

It has been planned for ages, some concept art was done, we don't really know more than that.


Just found out Stewart has a place for people to ask him questions
http://www.formspring.me/stewartgilray
But keep in mind he's tied to non disclosure agreements

Yea i know about the concept (been following the forums for a while) it seemed like and interesting idea. Im not sure but wasnt this one of the reason OI closed down because they wanted to make a movie?

Also hopefully we might find out some interesting things out with the link you gave us, i know he is under a non disclosure agreement but he may hint toward somthing hehe :)



EDIT: Haha it was worth a shot but i asked him: 'Will the new Oddworld games be in 2D, 2.5D or 3D or a mix hehe' to which he said 'Not saying' hehe oh well :)

By the way:

You can find this months issue over here: http://www.develop-online.net/digital-edition
And here's the interesting page: http://page.issuu.com/100811102951-6...age_6.swf?ut=0

I mean, sure... why wouldn't he be excited?
However... the word 'getting' sparks my interest. It's easy to see he's already very excited by this Oddworld deal, but now he's 'getting' more excited.

What a complex man this Gilray is.

I try to be :-)

Yay, I had one of my questions answered on Formspring!

Q: How's the soundtrack for the new Oddworld games going to be handled? The creepy music and sound effects were hugely important and contributed greatly to the atmosphere of the original Abe games.

A: Audio will be handled in the same way as previous Oddworld titles.

I imagine this may mean that the original composer is on board or something to that effect; or it could just mean something completely different. Good stuff.

Frankly I doubt it as he's working at another studio (Red 5 Studios).

Not much of an answer, was it?

Better than nothing I suppose. At least we aren't being ignored.

Not much of an observation, is it?

I think he simply meant they're staying true to the originals.

I think he meant that it will be recorded and placed into the game in a way that allows it to be heard.

Going back a ways on that questions/answers page, I found this from 4 months ago (long before the Oddworld announcement)

Keeping in mind that plans change and these titles could really be anything, does anyone know what titles JAW has already released this year, and what other ones (besides anything Oddworld) are confirmed to be in development?

I wouldn't put much weight on this, but one or more of those projects that were planned for release this year could be Oddworld related.

Entirely plausible, but entirely uninformative. What was the title Stewart said in the podcast had been dropped in favour of working with Oddworld? Doesn't matter; it was dropped in favour of working with Oddworld. ;)

The two projects due to be out before June are probably the projects JAW were working on before working on the oddworld games, Gravity Crash and then the other one I can't remember.

That sucks... gravity crash sounds good...

Gravity Crash was released for PS3 last November, and then 3 weeks ago for PSP. :-)

The over title is "Vektar Beat" which we will finish soon ;-)

I'm beginning to like this guy. He's the biggest troll we have.
