After checking out this topic, I went to Kotaku and saw this topic:

So I couldn't resist

Finding something to post on-topic isn't an excuse to post off-topic. For one thing you're encouraging more off-topic responses.

The juicy burger of irony tastes oh so delicious!

And I also hope they aren't mini games. I wouldn't mind seeing smaller projects like SligStorm coming to light however. I'm sure an 8 man team would be able to handle such a project.

So, would they be smaller that the first 2 Oddworld games?

Hard to tell... It is possible to create something what will look like 2 first games. Next game probably won't turn oddworld upside down, but it's probably better :P.

I think whatever they do, it won't be platformers when you can get a platformer on kongregate for free

PS Move minigames!

Fix'd. I think that you need to wake up and compare the simple flash games on Kengregate to Braid or Limbo.

EDIT: Dammit, guys. This is still the wrong thread for this. I suggest that we start using the other two threads that already exist.

Just to remind everyone (including other mods): This thread is for discussion about the AbeMudokon twitter account and any related news, not a general 'So let's talk about life' thread.

Very true, and keep in mind you can still start new threads instead of going off topic, it works too.

MeechCrunchies 08-17-2010 02:49 PM

So uh, since it's been a few days, is there anything at all from the mouth of our favorite mudokon?
*prays to the almighty raisin*

Wil 08-17-2010 03:17 PM

You know, you could just look at his account with your own two eyes instead of bumping this thread every couple of days so some poor schmuck has to say "No". You could even join Twitter yourself, or at least subscribe to the account's feed, to have each tweet delivered to you. That goes for everyone. If you want to know the latest AbeMudokon activity, just look at it. Anyone asking again gets infracted.

Posting the latest tweets to share and discuss them is, of course, fine.

The answer is "No", by the way.

Dynamithix 08-17-2010 07:35 PM

Agree with Max. Or are you too lazy to click another link? :D

Stewart Gilray seems to be excited about stuff... again

Ok so I finished work around midnight, and I'm starting work ... In around 5 mins. But I'm really happy about this :)

erwinraaben55 08-18-2010 02:35 AM

Hmmmm, possible for ps3, only a slight chance I am afraid, but I think it will be for the Nintendo 3DS. BUMMER.
I don't want to buy anything from Nintendo if I can help it. But that's what I thought about the Xbox too, but I just had to buy it for Oddworld.
Though if there really comes a Metal Gear Solid on the 3DS, I think I will buy one!

Oh well... At least AO and AE were nice games to have played again after such a long time. As said before: I can go for another 5 years :D (Bring the rope guys!) Currently busy with MO, but I seem to dislike that more than when I played it the first time. I think my Oddworld love blindness had faded away a bit over the years of waiting.

Gilrod 08-19-2010 02:35 PM

No, I've gone on record many times saying I'm NOT a fan of Nintendo, that's not a red herring...

Xavier 08-20-2010 12:28 AM

And what's that auto build business you keep talking about ?

OANST 08-20-2010 06:07 AM

Oh, good. He's a fanboy, too.

I did get that vibe in the VG247 interview but he's probably speaking from a developer/business perspective. I might be a fan of Nintendo for some of their games and innovations, but I find that their business model consists of costly hardware with short lifespans and limited software support/online functionality.

Most of that reasoning is more akin to the X-box than any of Nintendo's products. Which is another catagory, I wonder whats reasoning behind the X-Box getting dibs on the new Oddworld game.

Havoc 08-20-2010 06:01 PM

I wasn't aware they already announced what platforms the new games will be on. Knowing Lorne's fetish for digital distribution I think that the new games will all be downloadable on the PSN, Xbox Live, Steam and the iPhone App Store. Certainly not restricted to a single platform, that would be silly. The titles they are releasing now are nowhere near exclusive worthy.

Nate 08-20-2010 06:19 PM

I think that lycaon17 might be about a decade behind on his news. OWI's Xbox exclusivity contract hasn't been in effect since they were dumped by Microsoft in 2003ish.

Phylum 08-20-2010 06:23 PM

Nate 08-20-2010 06:36 PM

Wait... what?

Light travels faster than sound, so I rely on the imagary.

High five man,
highfuckingfive :D

lycaon17 08-20-2010 08:41 PM

I may be quite behind heh, My imagination was spewing words based on the older news of Oddworld being on PC and other platforms and not PS3. Maybe I'll just incredibly stupid right now or heard wrong. If it's multiplatform that would suffice handsomely.

Phylum 08-20-2010 09:49 PM

Fuck. Wrong thread. I wondered where my post had gone...

Michael 08-21-2010 03:40 AM

I don't know if anyone's already noticed, but AbeMudokon seems to have confirmed the new games will be on both PSN and Live Arcade:

'... we're not xbl exclusive, we're also PSN too' :D

STM 08-21-2010 03:53 AM

so no STEAM? I might just cry if that's the case, perhaps Gilrod could confirm...looks hopefully* XD

lismati 08-21-2010 05:32 AM

I want Steam or normal distribution, OWI and JAW would lose quite large profit, if they wouldnt do a PC versıon of games. But even if not I would be happy on WiiWare release (I know that there is 0% chances for that, but anyway).

I think he's referring to Gravity Crash, given that the person he was replying to was assuming there had been an actual announcement about a game

Paradigm 08-21-2010 08:40 AM

As long as it's on Xbox 360 then I'm generally happy, even though I'll have to borrow the console from my brother as I no longer own one (oops!). Hopefully the new game(s) will get a proper boxed release and not just be digital download gubbins. I miss the excitement of going into a store and physically purchasing a game. Although I admit, I've not done that now for about six years, as there's been little worth buying IMHO.

Fatherbrain30 08-21-2010 10:35 AM

Xbox live? Good. Arcade games actually do pretty well.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 08-21-2010 10:42 AM

especially limbo, i downloaded that and its actually pretty good.

except gravity crash isn't on Xbox Live...

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 08-22-2010 07:36 AM

yer grav crash is sony isnt it?

Xavier 08-22-2010 01:22 PM

It's Just Add Water... and they opted to release it on sony's consoles.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 08-22-2010 03:37 PM

yeah thats what i meant, like psp and ps3, not that it was created by sony.

Currently, at least. As far as I know they don't have an exclusivity deal.

My point is only that Benxander has stated without sources that JAW's new games will be on the XBLA and AbeMudokon is saying he's wrong without really saying anything. Don't read too much in to what either of them are saying.

Hey all...

For those wondering, and those not I'm Stewart Gilray from JAW, and have been lurking here for AGES!

Anyway, we had fully intended to announce 2 projects in the past week, however due to other considerations we're just wanting you guys to wait a lil-bit-longer.

When that'll be I can't say yet, as I REALLY don't know. But we want to make you guys happy, and we think we will :)

Soon.

So I have a question for Stewart Gilray....perhaps you can answer my question and still be vague at the same time. Obviously you are not ready to reveal what these projects are....but....if you were to make an estimate - just a rough guess, what percentage would you say these projects are currently at??? :fuzwink:

ledsnipe 08-23-2010 09:58 PM

wait when is the new site coming out.
