Of course a company would make a gamespeak app. It's easy, cheap and profitable. There's an absolute shit load of them on the app store.

People need to flash their memories back to the podcast where Stewart Gilray first announced JAW's partership with OWI. He pulled out his phone and started playing Abe's voice. I think that we've just now found out what he was fiddling with.

Yep, somehow I have the feeling that it is exactly that.

And they're all free.

According to Twitter, the Abe Speak app is free.

STM 02-27-2011 07:18 AM

Oh nice, hopefully it will be on android too. Shouldn't be too complex to make a port I imagine.

Just because something is free dosent mean it isn't profitable. The app will act as a marketing tool for future Oddworld titles, which will inturn mean more sales and more money. Plus there is always the option of advertisements. And if you look at most free apps there is usually an advertisement or two.

I seriously hope they don't consider this as one of the four Oddworld titles.

I wonder if they'll be releasing apps based on other creatures' Gamespeak.

Wil 02-27-2011 10:41 AM

I'd rather it all be part of the same app instead of clogging up the app lists.

Manco 02-27-2011 11:13 AM

That too.

I was thinking: perhaps the Abe Speak app is a free demo of sorts for a full paid app containing all the Gamespeak from the series?

Xavier 02-27-2011 11:28 AM

That is some amazing journalism there, now go report it on oddblog :p
