You do have a point there, Havoc, but we should be happy that finally we have an official site for Oddworld. I'm sure it'll get updated later on.

Havoc is meaner than I am.

Also I'm pretty sure the site had flah parts somewhere. Or was that just the front page news thingy? |

No, that's not Flash. Seriously, how can you not identify Flash?
My favourite amongst Havoc's criticisms was the one where he complained that all the "shop" page does is link people to places they can shop for the Oddworld games. I also like the bit where he thinks you can buy MO and SW online. |
There is a difference between a shop and a list of places to buy something, you know. If I see 'shop' on a site, I presume I can buy something on that same site. Not get a list of links to some other sites. That's called a 'Where to buy' list.
Also: http://www.amazon.com/Oddworld-Munch.../dp/B00005NZ1K http://www.amazon.com/Oddworld-Stran.../dp/B0006I5I58 You were saying? |
If you click to view Abe's Exodus, it says its release date is 1997. That's not right is it? Abe's Oddysee was 1997, no?
EDIT: You can actually see it on the screenshot someone posted above.. |

I would suggest making the titles of the news posts links to the full article.

But yeah the site's great and it's only early stages so it'll expand eventually. I just think they need to check the facts a bit more thoroughly. Will there be wallpapers and other downloadable media available on the site at some point as well? |

I have other suggestions for the website
-A online merchandise shop -You can buy the games from the site -Bring back Alf! |

Yeyy, much love to Oddworld/ JAW
|
Nice to see constructive criticism is welcome :p
Since you guys are changing stuff on the site anyway: Please change the name of your blog so that people won't confuse it with: http://oddworldlibrary.net/oddblog/ |
I think everyone is aware this is still early days for the new site, so there are bound to be little bugs which will be corrected in due course. After all, nothing ever goes completely according to plan!
Either way, I think it's fantastic that we, the fans, are already being listened to, and that changes are being implemented as a result. You have to give credit to JAW/OWI for such quick responses- hopefully the relationship with fans and feedback will continue to grow positively! :) |
Anybody considered a merger?
oddworldforums.net finally adopted as the official oddworld forums? It's not like the head of the entire franchise doesn't recognize the hours our admins put into maintaining this website. Beyond that, these forums have kept a lot of people interested in the game and the community during the 5 YEARS OF SILENCE from the Inhabitants. I'm thinking Xaiver/Max/etc. should try contacting the execs with a proposal... perhaps the Oddblog could be merged as well? What I'm saying is you guys deserve jobs at OWI EDIT: Apparently this was already suggested in the other thread. Kimon finishes last again |

And is it just me, or does only Stewart/www.oddworld.com name Oddboxx with DOUBLE xx? What will be the official name for it? :
That book is amazing, and people should buy it. |
Erwin don't be so rude to Xav, he works damn hard on that site as do other members of the community, could you possibly do any better than the oddblog team does in producing fast paced information to the community. Also the dude called bagsy on the name.

The official name IS Oddboxx ;) we decided on Monday :D

As for PC Stranger...
Um, we did that too Ssssssh ;-) Here's a list of what's different ... 1. Supports multiple 4:3 and widescreen screen resolutions, we've been running it at 1920x1080 but at 15FPS boo. 2. The audio has been remastered, no more 11khz 8bit audio, now 22khz (or 44) 16bit :D 3. The GUI has been given an overhaul, still based on what there was prevously, just a lot tidier. 4. No the HD models won't be in the PC version at this time, but who knows. 5. 36 Steam Achievements. :D |
Looks good to me :D
Anyway, do you plan release only on Steam? It's not good for me, I always wanted to play Munch's oddysee, but I don't have credit card to buy anything on Steam. And if you could say - What's the precentage of completion on OddBoxx (If you understood me :( ) |
Oh lordy ...
AO & AE - 100% done (as already released) MO - 99.5% (finishing up on achievements) SW - 95% (finishing up the music this week, and achievements in the next two weeks. Followed by general tidying up.) |
Good to know, release on horizon. (I hope)

Hmmmz, maybe you didn't get that I was just making a joke about it. Smilies are not made for nothing ya know. Ah well, must be the translation barrier :-). Course they do a fantastic job. They kept us fans in the time nothing came from the real deal! In anyway, it was NOT meant to be harsh, but it IS kinda strange it is not mentioned in a little news post already. You gotta agree with on that :). Lolz, :
Reminded me of something you said some while ago in another topic, changed your mind:p:happy:? (@Scrabtrapman, this is also meant as a joke, nothing harsh against our Awesome hero's who make Oddworld back alive on our own planet) :
