What does this one mean?

Abe won't speak in the game, this doesn't make sense?

It means the GameSpeak touchpad app probably isn't one of the four JAW/OWI projects for this year.

Okay thanks.

I haven't heard about the touchpad.

Is ipad better than iphone when using abe speak app? because of big surface with multitouch.

It's hard to say since Abe Speak hasn't been released yet.

I hope I get my borked iPod back for the Abe Speak app, I'll be annoying the hell out of people with it :D

Nah, I think it's going to be smaller projects, perhaps not even games.

What?

They said 4 Oddworld projects.

Nothing about games.

Could be a goddamned book, for all we know.

Nothing wrong with a healthy bit of reading!

Yes there is. It's not playing.

Abe speak is NOT one of the four projects to be released this year

Someone should get fired in their PR department. That and Stew should think twice before he Twitters something.

I mean seriously, did he basically just say that a bunch of websites are publishing facts that are completely wrong and that he's happy about that?

Yep he just did. It is free advertising...

... but also an open door for over-excitement and disappointment.

I never did figure out why that made him happy.

Neither did I.

It's always a nice touch to include a source when you post such claims.

The four projects is only abe´s oddysee, abe´s exoddus, munch's oddysee, stranger's wraith.
and nothing more as i know of.

Is the abe speak app a part of abe's hd or something different?

I think you've mistaken the four projects with the four already existing games...

We only know one of the four new projects, because Abe's Oddysee HD is being released in 2012. The only one we know of is Stranger's Wrath HD.

wait, wait so i know all the fuss about the release date and stuff but I didn't see anyone asking about the platform, what platform(s) will it be released on? or is it just ps3?

Nope, all it does is lay the groundwork for a correcting press release which in turn will look something like this on every major gaming site:

JAW, developer of several new Oddworld projects, has said that the 4 projects they announced several months back are not going to be all games, contradicting their original statement that they would be releasing 4 Oddworld games in 2011.

Releasing wrong information and regarding it as free press is a really really really bad idea. JAW being a game developer it's not at all weird that people assume the projects are all games. In fact, I can't imagine what else these so called projects are besides games.

mudokon porn, duuhh

You'd have a point if they released wrong information, but JAW never actually said "four games", did they? Journalists just assumed.

Put my money on one of the projects being an art collection of some kind.

Btw sorry if this has already been asked, but does Strangers Wrath HD count as one of them?

Yes.

If anybody can find the dates between the announcements and pictures for the "Sly Collection" and "Tomb Raider" I think that'll give us a pretty good idea when we'll be seeing new screens for this game.

That would only make sense if those games were developed by JAW and published by OWI. Every company has their own way of doing things.

I posted a quote from Stewart from his formspring account in a different thread in which he confirms that Abe speak is not one of the four projects.

Question : The Abe Speak for iPhone/iPad etc etc is it classed as 1 of the 4 projects to be released by JAW this year and when is the app being released can't be that far away as you said its been finished for a year :)

Answer : Nope, and we're adding stuff to it, sometime in the next couple of months

Okay, thanks for sharing.
