^ Alright, fair enough then, I got my recollections muddled up. But still, I'm just getting so despondent with waiting so long. We get the odd bit of news here and there, but nothing concrete. We're told there's a new game being worked on and it's probably part of the Oddworld series, but no more.

I just want something concrete- a screenshot, a trailer, more detailed news. It's almost feeling like Duke Nukem Forever, although to be fair to Lorne I don't think it'll ever get to that bad a stage.

I do hope the games and films for all the projects come out, but right now I'm just still not sure. Give me something concrete and I'll start believing.

The trouble with getting something concrete (apart from it breaking all the NDAs Lorne has to be bound to) is that it then gets people far too excited far too early on. Take Hand of Odd. Take Fangus. There are still people who still expect these to be the next things they see!

the most concrete stuff we have at the moment:

concept art for the Abe Movie:

Can be discussed here and .

concept art for the Citizen Siege Movie:
http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...php?menu=CACS1
Can be discussed here.

Well didint Lorne say that there was gonna make the rest chapters of the Quintology as movies?

I hope this new game in an Abe game, with the same quality of gameplay and graphics as Stranger, the humour of AE and the dark-ness (if there is such a word) of AO. They should aim to make this the best Oddworld game yet.
I think a good producer like Braun could do the Oddworld series justice, bring it out of the dark-ness (if there is such a word) that so many people have been seeing it in.

Brilliant find Xavier!

I saw this twenty minutes after this came out.

I win.

Very intresting Xavier. Good find.

~^_^~

Just so everyone knows, this isn't really big news and its kinda something we already knew but Lorne just confirmed that Jeff Braun was making a new OWI game. He still didn't say much else other than the confrimation...

I just saw this seconds ago :p

well done Oddsville

OK, now I'm feeling optimism again. I know it's nothing much and is probably years off, but the fact that the game is in progress is enough for me to start believing.

Still not clear whether we're talking Oddworld universe or Oddworld Inhabitants.

Lorne is confirming it all over the place:

nate, I huess it's too soon to tell us

Hurray for this Xavier. It should be quoted in every thread from now on where half the participants are mysteriously assuming Hand of Odd is coming out in 2009.

Bloody awesome, this is something to look forward to. Thanks for caring Xav. ;)

Has anybody notist anything about 2008 first FUTURAMA comes back and now Oddworld is coming back, its like thay can read our minds and finding out what we want... it sounds like Abe AHHH!

anyways after the movie and game I hope they make a game with abe, sligs, and all the rest from oddysee and exoddus because they were the charaters that made me love Oddworld but anyways YAY ODDWORLD IS COMING BACK

Futurama came back in 2007. But you can use Indiana Jones or Sex and the City as a replacement example :tard:

I think it will be an Abe game. It would be the best way to keep the level of interest in Oddworld up. by the time the Abe movie comes out, the average gamer will have forgotten who Abe is. Releasing another Abe game would be a wise move.

this is excellent news, definitely going to get it when it comes out

I doubt it will be another Abe game. OWI is exploring new ideas and themes, looking in vast, and making in focused.

Now, the first games were great, but that doesn't mean that they will stay the best; and we will never find out if we stay with the same old thing, over and over again.

Another Abe game/ movie will probably come out, just not as the next thing.

Time to repeat what i've said countless times: DON'T get excited about anything to do with OWI until there is concrete evidence that it is happeing. And i mean CONCRETE. It's not there fault, but if I was a Mudokon, i would have to use my fingers and toes to count the amount of games they've had to cancel. And then theres MO, which DID come out in the end, butit ended up terrible in the end. It's a shame that it had to happen to OWI, since they're surely one of the greatest game related companies.

Isn't that true of all games, film medical etc rumours? Be sceptical?

Dude. At least we're getting some news. We didn't hear from OWI in years, let us live a little. And it's not exactly their fault MO turned out like it did. Besides, it wasn't even THAT bad.

Jeff Braun - the transcript

http://www.cordweekly.com/cordweekly...4&news_id=1777

what he said:

He's not talking about it like it's a new game set on Oddworld :( But it still sounds cool. Thanks Xavier. Stop being so helpful. I can't rep you as much as I'd like! :p

:fuzblink: Who's was it then?

Well, Microsoft did put them in a contract that made them have to rush it out as a launch title product instead of giving it the time to be properly made.

Good find Xav! This sounds like they've got a project that'll come out in multiple forms, like the tv show we've heard about. Sounds like they've got something really unuiqe comming out to have Bruan so excited. Hopefully we'll here more soon!

All this info is killing me! :D I still can't wait to see all this stuff!
Great stuff Xavier!

Sounds even more like he's talking about Citizen Siege now we have the proper transcript.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...oddworld-title

It is an Oddworld game.

Not necessarily. Lorne does not say the game is set on Oddworld; he says it is ‘Oddworld stuff’. With a studio name like Oddworld Inhabitants, this description can apply to anything he comes up with, including Citizen Siege, which we already know is meant to have two games associated with it.

It says it's based on the Oddworld franchise.

Is what we know about the CS games, if we assume this game to be a CS game then we also assume that CS will take a lot longer to be developed than previously anticipated because as the article states:
And we already know that the game and film for CS will be released around the same time because of some 'Synergy'.

Therefore if he is talking about a CS film this is actually bad news.

Alternatively if Lorne can be trusted with his '2010' prediction for CS then it either stems the possibility of the mystery game being a CS game or means Braun is far more careless with his wording than would have been imagined for a veteran of press interviews.

The journalist says it’s based on Oddworld. Journalists do not dictate the truth. I believe they are being premature calling this an Oddworld game when we know Lorne is working on different IPs now.

I don’t think Lorne is so dead​set on getting everything out in the right order that he would delay the film by years just to get the game released first.

EDIT: Max got in first.

It's probably safe to assume that the reporter doesn't understand the point that Max made in his last post.
