For some people who make games, release dates and deadlines are designed to indicate to fans when their game or product is coming out, or any other major developments. Obviously, JAW has uncovered a new definition of the phrases which I was not previously aware of.

You're not familiar with Gran Turismo 5?..

Why are you so sure it's JAW that's responsible for postponing the announcement?

That was my source, I can't remember where I found this, but this perhaps was the official unveiling of JAW working with OWI? I'm not sure. But in this interview, Stewart Gilray says that there's to be no Nintendo based game, and hinted that there wasn't going to be a release for the PS3 either.

I think this was the interview he claimed he was AbeMudokon?

Either way, I then tweeted the query a month later and the response was that the new [games] are for both PSN & XBLA.

Hope this sheds some light on the issue?

Can you send a link to the tweets?


There are more gaming platforms in the world than just Nintendo/Xbox/PS3. PC, for instance.

That there are, but as the hosts played each console off, Gilray muttered yesses or nos as to whether they're going to be on each console.

However, out of interest, what other gaming platforms, currently, could support an Oddworld project?

As for the tweets, I'm a little lost, do you mean that one tweet I sent to AbeMudokon? I'm under the impression you've seen that, but MY tweet was as follows, scroll down a bit?

Oh, that was you. I had lost context somewhere along the line.

Either way, he hasn't actually said anything official on the topic.

We know it is digital distributed, and the first project will be around 3GB (http://www.formspring.me/stewartgilray) in size.
What I think is possible:
Xbox 360
PS3 is ruled out (shame), but it IS coming to PSN, so PSP is only left?
Nintendo is ruled out?
Iphone/Ipad, but 3gb looks alot for such a device to me. But then again, I know absolutely nothing about anything that starts with an I, so I could be wrong.
PC/MAC I guess for sure (seeing they also bring the entire series (oddbox) to PC, would be strange they don't do this with the new games)

Indeed it was. I've been meaning to come here for a while, and when I did, it was a little unnerving to see I had been 'discussed' haha

Though you are right. It isn't official, but its closer to being official than not. That is, if we are taking Stewart Gilray's word that he is AbeMudokon, and not just playing around.

I guess I did rule out Mac, PC, PSP and iThings, although I thought that was a given more or less.

I'd quite like separate titles for PSP and other handheld devices. But I suppose that could be the 4 projects they're working on... different ports of the same game? Which would suck.

Curses. My internet download speed is ~55kb/s. That's ~15 hours.

Not to mention that I only get 7gb a month and I'm prone to going over that...

The hell? Where do you live that you have that crappy a connection and a data limit?

South Australia. We're considering upgrading to ADSL2 as we have the money now.

('We' are my parents...)

Go to a friends house with a good connection and no limit, download it there ;).

I have a friend with good connection and infinte downloads, Ill do it there.

I'll get it here...at my house, hopefully my parents will buy it for me although they don't like digital distribution.

I don't blame them, 'tis a filthy trade, full of shenanigans.

So now we know that they MIGHT be doing digital distribution.

We know they MIGHT be doing digital distribution of what MIGHT be games.. :fuzconf:

Thank you, thank you.

I.. I just don't know what to say.. Its all so sudden. I've come so far to achieve this.

I'd like to thank my friends and family, my family and their friends, their friends and their family and the friends of my friend's family friends.

This means the world to me.

A'good night.

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...
