Do you reckon the new Oddworld game could be a 2D Platformer? y'know, take it back to its roots

actually, it will be, its 2.5d, which means 3d graphics on a 2d platformer, like little big planet.

Ah well. Not that the engine they use will affect ME, since yet again, flippin' Microsoft have stopped an Oddworld game from appearing on a PlayStation. I am VERY annoyed. VERY very annoyed. You'd think OWI would be struggling for money and wanting to sell to as many people as possible, but oh no, just let Microsoft make it Xbox exclusive. *Sigh*. I shall have to find out about the game purely from the descriptions of the charming people around here :)

What? No they haven't. Have they? What are you referring to? Stewart Gilray said the first project won't be for the PlayStation. For all we know that project is the Achievements on Steam, which would logically and naturally not involve the PlayStation.

The Brewmaster 07-16-2010 01:59 PM

The X-Box was left out of the list of Consoles it will not feature on though right?

Wil 07-16-2010 02:00 PM

They didn't mention it at all. But again, the first project isn't necessarily a new game.

What do you think it alternatively could be?

Ah, thanks Max- my heart is filled with hope once more. I like the sound of a 2.5 D platformer as well, sounds good. If it was part of the Quintology, however, then there will most likely be Abe and one other character, and so that character must be one that will work well on a side- scroller. It must be something quite different to Munch, then, I reckon.

ColgateCat 07-17-2010 02:06 AM

id love to see the achievements, it has been a while that i don't play any Oddworld title and the ach thing would make it more challenging

Scraby 07-17-2010 04:20 AM

well the A.L.I.V.E. engine is still there,hidden in your game,somwhere deep inside the game is the A.L.I.V.E. engine,my friend tried to reconstruct it,it was 2/4 finished and he dumped the project :( ,he had sprites,controls timelines and paths,path editor,everything and he dumped it all into a trashcan and deleted it forever.... dont know why :(

PuddiinLOL :] 07-17-2010 04:27 AM

Its ALIVE !! Mwuahhhahahahahhaahaha

Scraby 07-17-2010 04:27 AM

xD lol yep its alive

Phylum 07-17-2010 05:37 AM

You could say it's Still Alive...

I was hoping for more than the little, vague announcement we got...

GlukkonGluk 07-17-2010 05:58 AM

At least there IS an announcement...

Xavier 07-17-2010 08:28 AM

It feels more to me like an announcement to put Just Add Water on the map than anything else. Something just in time to promote their latest product before having to shut up until they can actually say something about the Oddworld projects they are working on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still pleased as punch.

As far as I'm aware MS have no say what platforms any of the Oddworld title can or cannot be released on purely as OWI own the IP 100% so this is a mute point.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-17-2010 10:58 AM

wah?

Xavier 07-17-2010 11:27 AM

He's saying that Microsoft has nothing to say anymore about what OWI's supposed to do as there is no contract between those two companies anymore, in which he is right.

STM 07-17-2010 12:03 PM

Does it matter at the mo, just be happy and REJOICE!

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-17-2010 02:14 PM

yeah, um, oh yeah, ive been talking to abemudokon, hes really cool! he says he cant tell me about the new games yet...

Scraby 07-17-2010 02:53 PM

then he's a meanie,whats the point of hiding old games or new games..... they are gonna come out sonner or later?

Xavier 07-17-2010 03:01 PM

That's Marketing and PR for you...

You can't tell people too much stuff, OWI learned their lesson about that with Munch's Oddysee.

Scraby 07-17-2010 03:23 PM

yeah i know,but you cant hide names forever :D

Wil 07-17-2010 03:38 PM

So why crave them immediately?

ziggy 07-17-2010 03:39 PM

It's ADHD.

MarsMudoken 07-17-2010 04:04 PM

I own a Wii.

I hope this was a somewhat rhetorical question...

Crashpunk 07-18-2010 02:02 AM

You could be typing on the forum using a phone or the internet channel on the Wii?

Or by using the PC of a lan house, or a callshop.

Rhetorical combined with withering scorn, yes.

What did they screw up with on MO?

Josh 07-18-2010 02:51 AM

They told us that it would have all those amazing things and then they cut them all.

The felling was nothing like Oddworld (Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus), they brought it back a little bit with Strangers Wrath but that's just my opinion.

Anyway, Dont we have a countdown timer for the 48 hours that AbeMudokon told us about? (Because I have absolutely no idea how much time is left... :p)

moxco 07-18-2010 03:20 AM

It's over a day ago now.

Holy Sock 07-18-2010 03:33 AM

When did he tell us this...I see no announce,ent on his twitter page...

Software Bug 07-18-2010 03:42 AM

It's there. Just scroll down a bit, might have to press the button "more".

In less than 48hrs, the truth will start to come out.... Sssssssssh #Oddworld

Surely the truth as he called it was the announcement of the new games?
