Those are valid points. Plus he shouldn't save Mudokons, otherwise it would be silly to have Abe being the big hero but not Alf. I guess for Alf to make it out alive on it's own is already quite an achievement.

I wasn't happy with Outfit pre-order bonus, but actual gameplay addition, Alf mission... That would really make me pre-order it if I had PS4. I really hope it's going to be pre-order bonus on Steam too.

Ahahah. That made my day. Thank you.

Technically wouldn't have Abe been the 100th mudokon?

In all these years, I never thought of it like that.

If abe was the 100th, technically he would have a place on the stats boards.. :P

I'm angry right now. Not because of anything to do with videogames. That would be silly. I stubbed my toe.

If ya wanna get superfluously technical about it the Glukkons would strip Abe off the employee list because he's no longer an employee but a wanted eavesdropper.

They say swearing helps.

While that's probably true of in game content, sometimes physical pre order bonuses can be pretty awesome.

OANST can't see how can be done

Speak English.

Be nice to people.

The fuck? Hell no, that ain't good enough, similar offer? No, I want to play the Alf mission!

You will get to play the Alf mission. Just no guarantees that we'll get it with the exact same pre-order offer though.

Better buy all consoles and subscriptions while on my way to America just to be safe lol.

But seriously, I highly doubt they won't carry the same offer to the other consoles. If they made some extra content for oddworld, they'd want to make sure all fans can get their greasy mits on them.

Plus, I think this is an experiment for JAW/OI to see how dlc and pre order bonuses work. Just like Xavier said, to see how many people will secure a copy. Market research Etc.

I don't care what happens, I just want oddworld in my future lol.

On a side note, I wonder if we'll see anything to do with Sam.

She's not held captive in rapture farms right? Maybe alf finds the last meech.


Holy crap, does that mean Crig the Slig could be a possibility?? Like he could wave him through an exit or something? I'm going into crazy fanfic now. Sorry, im on pain meds since I got my bracers out lol.

In other words; on other platforms it might become paid DLC instead of free pre-order content.

A lot of 'might', 'could be' and 'maybe' being thrown around here. You'd think this stuff would be set in stone 12 days before release...

Well, yeah. i mean jaw-alex confirmed it... and said we'd get more details later this week. (even though i was referring to the PS4 pre-orders in the UK & EU, not other platforms)

And since the website reverted to its original state, and no longer advertises the ability to pre-order, and Oddworld hasn't announced any of this on Twitter i'm getting the impression that this pre-order stuff was accidentally announced a few days too early.

Not from me.

Like I said, we're working as hard as we can to ensure everyone gets the chance to grab the pre-order content but with stuff like this, things can change at (literally) the last minute.

We just want details nailed down and solidified first.

^
Fair call.

I can understand where Havoc and some others are coming from, but we just gotta be appreciative that our concerns have been noted throughout the development for like 2 years or so. I dont think they are going to start ignoring us now.

Anyways, I think we're in good hands guys :) and if anyone is legitimately butt hurt, i'll happily buy codes for others so we can all check it out together. I cant wait to start seeing new threads being erected about the awesome feels, experiences and hidden things in the game.

inb4 everyone starts getting butthurt for free codes lol.

Well that is bullshit. Im willing to pre order to the game to get the extras for free but there is no fucking way I am going to pay for them after paying for the game just because I live outside the USA. Im surprised that region ever matters here, i would have thought that given Im buying it for the PS4 that the offer would be available worldwide.

You're jumping to conclusions.

Like I said, we're working flat out to try to figure out something else.

Ouch, now I feel kind of bad to have reported it, on the other hand, how could I have known, I just checked out oddworld.com, saw the new picture and the link to the pre-order page and did what I always do: rush here and let OWF know.

So you'd prefer that it's not included in the pre-order deal and that everyone needs to pay it when it becomes available post-launch?

As Jaw_Alex said, despite JAW's intentions to do so the video game business can be fickle. So they'll only guarantee what they can guarantee and say they hope they are able to deliver the same for others.

Obviously if it was as simple as you think it should be we'd have that guarantee. But it seems that region does matter.

I wasn't saying that you announced it too early but that Oddworld might have changed the website too early or didn't intend for the Alf/Costume pre-order to be viewed this early since they cannot give details on it for a few more days.

Exclusive OWF deal: Anyone that can prove they own an existing Oddworld game gets a code for the Alf levels for free. Regardless of region. Because racism is bad.

That's good idea!

I feel that the members OWF, more than anyone else, should actually buy the game (and add-ons) in order to support the work OWI and JAW are doing.

How is asking them to give out their work for free going to help them? Especially to die-hard fans that are going to buy the game anyway.

I still want a physical copy... Perhaps in the future they could look into doing that as a pre-order exclusive.

Hope you all saved your receipts.

I hope they end up doing something like Machinarium did, release the game digitally first and after a while release a physical limited edition with bonuses in it such as lithographs, an OST cd, etc... :)

IndieBox.com are a start-up that puts together those kinds of things for developers without the means.



I'm still buying the game as soon as possible, by the way. I'd just like to get the best deal when I do.

This whole pre-order bonus shit is so stupid and Oddworld was definitely the last series I expected to jump in on this. Ugh.

My comment was tongue-in-cheek. If it comes to it, I will definitely spend the extra money to play the Alf levels. I just hope they can offer a similar pre-order deal for us Europeans.

I just want the game.

MeechMunchie, I didn't know this, I'd definately buy an NnT indiebox if OWI decided to do one. :)

Dynamithix, care to explain why you think this is bullshit?

I'll gladly throw money at JAW to keep working on this franchise. Paid or free content doesn't matter, as long as it's the same for everyone.

And as they've said they're trying their best to give this deal for everyone and for each platform. But as jaw_alex said these things can "literally change at the last minute".

Thanks for concluding what jaw_alex has already posted.
Your like this one girl in my classroom that repeats what the teacher says and gets praised for that.
<3

Has anyone anticipated that New 'N' Tasty may become a worldwide phenomenon, and this place might become overrun with... outsiders?

well, yeah. Because questions and statements keep popping up that have already been answered.

So when Havoc says "Paid or free content doesn't matter, as long as it's the same for everyone." I just reiterated jaw_alex's point. It's not about getting a pat on the head, man.

These outsiders won't stay long, I guess... : /

No, I'm saying that the pre-order extras should be available worldwide. I've nothing against them offering the extras for a price afterwards, but I think everybody should be given an equal chance to have the extras for free.
