That deal no longer exists. Personally I'm (wishfully) thinking that they will stick with the Xbox as they've just built a funky new engine and they'll want to use it as much as possible before having to start from scratch with the Xbox 2. Add on top of that Lorne's statement that he doesn't want to work on games for a console that has not yet been released and I think its a pretty safe assumption that at least the next game will be on the Xbox.

I really doubt that they will release another game in time for Christmas '05. That would mean that another game would be released less than one year after Stranger's release and that is one extremely difficult task to fulfill!! |
Well, Abe's Exoddus was created in one year and two months. It's not impossible, but I do have to agree that it would seem out of their grasp. Which leaves the question, are Oddworld Inhabitants going to develop another engine for the Xbox 2?
It seems like such a waste to drop what sounds like such a dynamic engine for one game. Let's hope the Xbox 2 is pushed back a further year. Alcar... |

I heard around that Stranger does meet up with Abe and i also assumed that, since stranger is a bounty hunter (captures things for moolah) and since Abe and Munch have destroyed many Glukkon industries then they are wanted (and must hav a reward attached)
P.S:There is an X-Box 2!!!!!! P.P.S: *laughs slighty* i said P.P |
Lorne said it, so it might be belivable... one game a year
"Oddworld just got even stranger" might be on Xbox ^ Working title I made up for Stranger 2 :p |

But there is a possiblity that you might see a Mud in a cut scence (see the spoiler, Strangers Doc) or some other familar Oddworld creatures in cut scences. You know maybe somewhere down the line of Oddworld games Stranger and Abe may meet up, but they do intead to pick up Abe and put him back into future games. There is a small posiblity you might see a Abe wanted poster on a door or something very very small in the game relating to Abe or Munch

As much as many people love to see that, oddworld is just a very big big place.

Cheers to that Oddish!

I've actually heard this talk from a couple of people. What source did you get this from? I find it highly unlikely that this is true because I doubt that Abe, Munch and Stranger would ever meet , but I'd still like to know where you heard this from. |
I got it from my bro, and he got it from his friends (so he says) but he didnt say where his friends got the information

hmmmm yeah they could...
but I prefer them to add finishing touches to the first game. but on the other hand I don't realy know how those people work in team |
The toughest thing in producing any game is getting a working engine. Once that's done and you have usable AI for recurring characters, you should be able to make games comparatively faster - you only need to concentrate on the new stuff, like the plot, design and new levels.
|
yeah basicly...
but you have to change the engine a bit... or else the press screams that you are not innovative enough. but that can be done quite quickly look at SplinterCell 2, it was nearly the same engine as SC1 but with some new features, and it came out quite shortly after SC1 |
