First, that's two different members who just happen to have the same avatar. Took me a while to realize that, too. :p

Second, I doubt anyone will be messing with the game that much. Consider how hard it's been for anyone to make meaningful edits to AO and AE, and they've been on PC for over ten years.

I just realized it as soon i read your comment!

Next item needed - faster computer
My Xbox finally gave up on me but my compter hates opening winamp, let alone any games. Love to play SW on the PC, but not if my tiny ole laptop can't handle it

Well, I'm sorry for being optimistic. All I'm saying is Roid is awesome and was meant to be in the game. Since he was meant to be in originally, hacking wouldn't be that hard. We're putting stuff in an empty spot, not changing something or replacing something. Also, on the subject of impossibility, didn't people call Geno in Brawl ridiculous and impossible? Xyedit was a genius. And I think you should learn something from him.

And Guekko? Had you lived in Alberta I could introduce you to my father, the 2nd greatest computer genius alive. The 1st is his friend Barclay. He has tons of spare parts for computers. He helped me build one.

Alright, there we go for proving everyone wrong. Exept for Guekko because Guekko is awesome.

Nothing wrong with being optimistic, except when it gets your hopes up beyond what reality can provide. Roid was originally going to be in the game during the concept stages of the game's development, not during the level building. I have no idea what you're saying about Brawl, but I'm guessing you mean that in theory it can be done. Sure, in theory. It's just a matter of getting precisely the right sequence of 1s and 0s. But the probability of that happening is low.

Just look on youtube. That man is a genius.

How time we can whait to see the Oddworld Munch's Oddysee on PC?

2010 is the likely release date. (Possibly Q3/Q4?)

Lorne hoped for pre-Christmas, so I'd be more optimistic and suggest Q1/Q2.

next month

wats steam?

Steam is an online games shop. When you buy a game, you can download it. If you lose the game from your computer, you can download it again. No discs, no delivery.

http://steampowered.com/

Two questions:

1. Do the games come with manuals?

2. Are AO & AE the PC or PlayStation versions?

The games normally come with PDF or electronic manuals.
The versions on Steam should be the PC ones.

so AO and AE have been released on PSN? and the 2 xbox original games are joining the two already on steam weird how its coming back into fashion now i mean 11 years later AO and AE are bigger then ever

I bought AO off of Steam, this is very convenient. I can't wait for MO and SW to be on Steam, this is great news! I'll be sure to buy those two as well when they're available.

Will MO be available as a stand alone or can you only get it with the OddBox?

can't wait for mo and sw.
finally the company does something right.

I hope you aren't talking about OWI.

Oddworld games on Steam need achievements :p. That would be cool.

That would be very cool.

It will probably be available on it's own also. I'm not aware of any game on Steam that is only available as part of a package.

I'm actually sort of hoping for post mid-January, as to avoid confusing billing issues (I'm still out of the US until then).

Will only purchase if it's sold physically and in some kind of awesome collectors tin.

I'd like an Original Gameboy release of SW, please.

This definitely. SW should also be moddable to some degree.

I will only buy them if... wait, no conditions!

~when? how much? for me? mg!
Enchilado

i never play stranger. is it fun?

Of course it's fun!


~although, I haven't played it either.
Enchilado

I have played it and I think it's the Oddworld game that's the most fun to play.

But hey this is only my opinion.

I'd say for instant gratification, SW is the best. For smugness, lulz, atmosphere and YOU'VE GOT TO BE ****ING KIDDING MEage, the Abe games are tops.

Isn't Lorne all pro-digital distribution? If it's up to him, which it is, I doubt we'll ever see another Oddworld game in a physical box :p.

I'm all in for a SW release :3 Nothing wrong with the Abe games of course but I have played them a countless number of times and SW only twice before my XBox gave out. I have a thing for recommending people to play SW, so I shall keep doing so. It needs to be released and so it can be played more :3

Ugh. I fucking hate digital distribution. Paying for downloads is so completely lame.

Then don't pay for it. Once there's a PC version just download the ****in thing via a torrent.


~that's what I'll be doing, unless it costs less than about AU$20.
Enchilado

you're telling Leto this?

OT: and i may buy this when it comes out.

Guess what, Enchilado? Discussing illegal activity and game piracy is against forum rules.

You know, I've always been curious about the other negrep ranks.

How long will the deal last?

What deal?

I'm all about supporting this but it totally goes against my beliefs to pay money for a download when you can just google torrents for it, yeah. Like shit to be physical.

Discipline him, Nate. Physically.
