FYI to be a GoD game you have have been released on Disc and sold a specific number of units. :p

I know. That's what I've been saying.

And what I've been saying was nothing to do with GoD. I was comparing Arcade games to retail, disc-based games.

I'm stoked that it's coming.
Allot of people never got to play stranger. And the fact that the xbox 360 has that BC BS... .
Now if they only made a boxed version with a special edition that has a statue of stranger with it:D

I bought an Xbox and then later an Xbox 360 just so that I could play Munch's Oddysee. I played Stranger's Wrath and found the game hugely disappointing (because it didn't feature Abe or any of the other familiar Oddworld characters and just didn't feel like a proper Oddworld game). I don't even have a PS3, so this news is very disappointing indeed. 2.5D Abe game or me no likey. Sorry, but that's just my personal preference.

So you didn't like the game, solely because it didn't have Abe? It has one of the most original and enjoyable gameplay mechanics ever (in my opinion). You've every reason to give it another chance and not be selective for such silly reasons...

well seeing as my xbox died soon after i got to the second bounty in strangers wrath I havnt been able to play the original fully so I'm well excited for this release. I also think its a very wise move for JAW to re-make an old oddworld title before moving onto a brand new story (hopefully anyway)

I would of prefered a totaly re-imagining of Munch's oddysee though with all the omitted content that was originaly planned

still cant believe its taken them 13 years to realise that playstation is where oddworld should have stayed.... ah well its back and thats what counts :-D

I'm glad it's SW and not MO, ot re-do the game would require an amount of hard work and also it would be weird in my opinion. SW was a better game.

SW indeed was the better one out of the two newest ones.

I completely forgot about Oddbox for a good few months. Damn it, now I have an urge to get it soon as possible.

Better start saving up for a PS3

*Slaps wrist* No, no. Quiet you.

If you look at all the Oddworld games, what they all have in common (besides being odd) is the unique gameplay mechanic that is dependable upon executing different decisions - be they selecting different ammo types for different situations to orchestrating a crowd of Mudokons or fuzzles to using GameSpeak - in order to get a result required.

Its all about a certain co-operation. SW has that, and for me, that's what counts toward an Oddworld game.

I don't think Playstation really was the home for Oddworld, it's just that it was the in thing at the end of 90's.

PC RULES ALL

ALL I SAY

Everyone agrees with that, alright.

yes well xbox wasn't really a welcoming home for odd neither

Definitely wasn't. It was more of a bad choice to make MO and SW exclusive for Xbox. A lot of people bought a PS2 rather than an Xbox. I actually bought Xbox first and PS2 later on.

The thing with exclusives sucks, period.

it was originaly meant for both systems but then microsoft bought the publishing rights then it all went down hill from there. MO looked awesome before microsoft fucked everything up.

played it the other day for the first time in years.... didnt suck as bad as i remembered but then i remembered about all the deleted stuff that was meant to be present :-(

I know what you mean. *sigh*

Next to Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, Abe was considered one of Sony's unofficial mascots, back in the day. That's how important he was :D

Really? That's awesome :D

Do you think AbeMudokon is going to say anything soon?
I think now that we have Stranger's Wrath announced, we'll have to wait alot to hear anything new, unfortunately... :/

From Abemudokon's Twitter Page:

"wow I've got 1,820 followers, let's see if we can get to 2,000 today, if we do I might show you a little surprise :) "

Let's get him more followers!!!!!

TO THE BATCAVE!

No really, I want Abe to show us a surprise. (No homo.)

Well, I followed. I hope this surprise is new and not something about Stranger.

Well he's had 80 new followers since then. Only need 94 in the next couple of hours (Going by British summer time as that's where JAW/Stewart Gilray are from)

retweet RETWEET

EDIT: Only ten mins left

2000 followers?!

What on Odd could he need all the Shryskull power for?..

From Abemudokon's Twitter Page:
"The surprise/present will come on Thursday"

Added:
"To clarify, the surprise is NOT an announcement."

Also added:
"Our chums at @jawltd will be starting a dev diary for Stranger's Wrath, Thursday is part 1."

Cool.

Cool, thx, I'll have 2 check twitter

"Also added:
"Our chums at @jawltd will be starting a dev diary for Stranger's Wrath, Thursday is part 1."

This is SO cool. I asked Stewart on september 6th...
"@stewartgilray Just a quick qustion. Any plans to do a developer diary blog of some kind? I remember Inhabitants did some for Abe & Munch."

He replied:
"@KraZidave we've not been asked :)"

So I said:
"@stewartgilray I hope someone does ask. ;-)"

And here we are. Ask and you shall receive. :-)

Intro to the dev diary has been posted here.

Seems like they're just making things prettier. We knew this before, but I hoped they'd announce some new content. I already thought SW was good looking for an Xbox game. :(

MAN THIS IS A BIG THREAD!!!

So great that they've started it up, though. I can't wait until they bust out some screenshots. Really interested to see just how different the remaster will be.

MAN YOU GOT YOURSELF A BIG INFRACTION FOR SPAM!!!

I have to admit, the comparison of Stranger (Xbox - PS3) is looking nice, I never realised how bad his model was in the original game.

Well, his model wasn't bad. I think he looked fantastic for the time.

I think that Stranger's Wrath (Xbox) looks like an early next-gen game and that's huge success for the Xbox/GC/PS2 era. Amazing cutscenes, great details and graphics.

In game it looked awesome, I'm sure it was better than the model shown on the JAW website...

Just look for yourself then.

That Ps3 model comparison looks great! I'd be completely satisfied with that as the in-game model, and yet they're taking it to over double the polygons for the actual remaster, if I've read correctly.

This is going to be a better remaster than I thought. With the model looking like that, I'm looking forward to seeing what the scenery will look like.

And the other characters...
