Hold it, hold it. I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but OANST has the best damn oneliners of all time!

*Hands back the mic*

Oh snap!

I'm so embarrassed.

Those five last posts should really have been avoided guys...

I'd say the first game is around 2GB ;-)

When did I say it's not PS3?

PS3 has NO limits for download titles, unlike XBox360 which does.

Well it's exciting to hear that a new game is actually on the way at all. I'm glad OWI (or should they be referred to as OddMob now?) finally decided to get another party to create the games themselves. I'll be even more legitimately excited when I see concrete evidence of some kind. Granted I haven't scanned the forum thoroughly of late, so maybe I missed it.

Do I fear the worst... Exclusive titles? D:

Hmm...interesting.

Let me be the first to take this info and jump to conclusions and say JAW will be releasing a 2.5D Oddworld platformer on PSN for PS3 by years end. Which, if true, is fantastic news. Im really not interested in a handheld/iphone based game.

To keep this post marginally on topic... hasn't Abe's twitter feed has been rather quiet lately?

Fer fuck's sake. Every time someone comes up with an overly optimistic theory in this thread, I'm just going to link them to Phantasos' post and tell them to get over it.

I will do this over and over again until we get some real information to go on.

So, instead of theorising, we're supposed to...

...shut up and wait.

Nate dude, calm down, let people theorize all they want. We need to pass the time here anyways, though this thread isn't the one.

Also "Might be games" no longer applies, considering J.A.W. just told us of a 2GB game.

The teasing they're doing for digital distribution is still up for discussion however. Also for the love of God J.A.W please release it on XBOX too, I don't have a PS3.

This is not the thread for theorising, this is the thread for discussion of Twitter feeds.

Is it even possible to discuss a twitter feed without theorising? Sorry, it just seems silly that you're telling us not to theorise about new Oddworld games using the information we have (which is currently predominately supplied by Twitter feeds) on an Oddworld forum in a thread about twitter feeds.

Are we supposed to... well:

As opposed to:

It's fandom... it's what happens when new things are said to be announced. I'm not saying we should act like retards (and start arguing about whether or not Munch's Oddysee is a good game), but what's the point of being on an Oddworld forum at a time such as this, if we're going to get internet-bashed for theorising?

My objection was not with the theorising, it was the overly-optimistic nature of some of the theories and the way that other people have assumed them to be true. I'm just warning you not to get your hopes up.

I wish more people would.

Well, if we overly-optimistic say a lot here is true, Gilrod might say something in return to confirm this, or to rule it out completely, might not be too much info, but it's getting there little by little.

If we shut up, Gilrod doesn't say anything, and we would still have absolute nothing.

It is true that Stewart has confirmed there's no such thing as Mudokonz...

Damnit, he's crushing my dreams again... :p

To this point Stewart just told us they were aiming to release a 2GB game. So yeah there's something coming, but we have no clue what it is. It could be anything.

Except that he said it's a 2GB game.

Oh, god. You don't even know what you're talking about.

Those restrictions have been lifted.

Im sorry for being overly optimistic (even though my last post was a joke and I myself clearly stated I was jumping to conclusions) but if at this point you think JAW's project MIGHT not be a game and MIGHT not be available via digital distribution then your an idiot. Read between the lines people.

Gilrod posted on twitter that he's taking it easy this weekend because "I sense next week will be nuts!" Anyone care to join me in jumping the gun and taking this as oddworld related good news. Damn! I did it again.

You may now commence your bashing of this overly optimistic noob.

Yeah, next week he's going to a seminar on video games. He doesn't know what they are yet.

For someone who had to explain that their post was laced with a bit of humour, I guess you possibly weren't capable of deciphering mine.

I was somewhat taking a stab both at those over-theorising and those critical of people doing so.

However, I will say this; until another tweet comes our way, let's just take it easy, you guys.

My issue wasn't with your post per say, more with the idea that any theory posted (albeit in an inappropriate thread) should be answered by a link to yours.

Nonetheless you're right, we should take it easy. Im still just grateful of the fact that something is actually coming.

(Please insert desperate attempt to get thread back on topic here)

So going back on topic, he was actually wrong about Xbox file size? I know that when a company wants to patch a game it needs to be 4 MB max in size on the Xbox. But those are just patches.

If we can trust wikipedia on this one, the size cap is at 2GB because of technology constraints, meaning Stewart knows what he's talking about and OANST doesn't.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xb...games-over-2gb

That article is just under a year old at this point but it does mention a hard cap of 2GB.

It's not a hard cap, and it isn't a rule set by Microsoft. It's a technical restriction, which the PS3 has, as well.

OANST, I think you're the most fucking annoying person ever...

...but I still manage to like you. ARE YOU MINDFUCKING ME?!

Dont trust Wiki all the time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...tation_3_games

Oddworld is already added on this one ;)

Well that list is goddamn stupid. It doesn't even have AO or AE.

That list doesn't seem to include PS1 Classics.

I honestly don't understand how there can be a technical restriction where only games up to 2GB can be on the Arcade, when there are 6 GB games next to them in the Games On Demand section.

Just wondering why does it matter if you double post.

If you have a question about that, PM a mod or ask it in Forum Suggestions and Help. Don't spam up a thread just to ask it.

Maybe you should add in you sig you are also normal blind (or just can't read)

Here's the list you want to see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PSOne_Classics

Or maybe better:
The list of the lists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...yStation_games

There's a difference between blindness and laziness, you know.
:D

stewartgilray:

"I suspect we will be announcing something in September. Then we'll be making a decision on the next after meetings in October :-/ "

I still don't get how an announcement meant to go out in July gets pushed all the way back to September or maybe even October.

Gilrod, answers please.
