...shut up and wait.

Fatherbrain30 08-27-2010 10:04 PM

Nate dude, calm down, let people theorize all they want. We need to pass the time here anyways, though this thread isn't the one.

Also "Might be games" no longer applies, considering J.A.W. just told us of a 2GB game.

The teasing they're doing for digital distribution is still up for discussion however. Also for the love of God J.A.W please release it on XBOX too, I don't have a PS3.

Phylum 08-27-2010 10:12 PM

This is not the thread for theorising, this is the thread for discussion of Twitter feeds.

squeak117 08-27-2010 10:33 PM

Is it even possible to discuss a twitter feed without theorising? Sorry, it just seems silly that you're telling us not to theorise about new Oddworld games using the information we have (which is currently predominately supplied by Twitter feeds) on an Oddworld forum in a thread about twitter feeds.

Are we supposed to... well:

:

User 1: New tweet! Stewart Gilray says today will be full of WIN!

User 2: I agree, that IS what he said.
As opposed to:

:

User 1: New tweet! Stewart Gilray says today will be full of WIN!

User 2: Cool! Maybe the website is going to be announced today!
It's fandom... it's what happens when new things are said to be announced. I'm not saying we should act like retards (and start arguing about whether or not Munch's Oddysee is a good game), but what's the point of being on an Oddworld forum at a time such as this, if we're going to get internet-bashed for theorising?

Nate 08-27-2010 11:54 PM

My objection was not with the theorising, it was the overly-optimistic nature of some of the theories and the way that other people have assumed them to be true. I'm just warning you not to get your hopes up.

I wish more people would.

erwinraaben55 08-28-2010 12:48 AM

Well, if we overly-optimistic say a lot here is true, Gilrod might say something in return to confirm this, or to rule it out completely, might not be too much info, but it's getting there little by little.

If we shut up, Gilrod doesn't say anything, and we would still have absolute nothing.

Wil 08-28-2010 12:52 AM

It is true that Stewart has confirmed there's no such thing as Mudokonz...

Xavier 08-28-2010 02:18 AM

Damnit, he's crushing my dreams again... :p

To this point Stewart just told us they were aiming to release a 2GB game. So yeah there's something coming, but we have no clue what it is. It could be anything.

Except that he said it's a 2GB game.

I'd say the first game is around 2GB ;-)

When did I say it's not PS3?

PS3 has NO limits for download titles, unlike XBox360 which does.

Oh, god. You don't even know what you're talking about.

Those restrictions have been lifted.

KraZidave 08-28-2010 08:51 AM

Im sorry for being overly optimistic (even though my last post was a joke and I myself clearly stated I was jumping to conclusions) but if at this point you think JAW's project MIGHT not be a game and MIGHT not be available via digital distribution then your an idiot. Read between the lines people.

Gilrod posted on twitter that he's taking it easy this weekend because "I sense next week will be nuts!" Anyone care to join me in jumping the gun and taking this as oddworld related good news. Damn! I did it again.

You may now commence your bashing of this overly optimistic noob.

Yeah, next week he's going to a seminar on video games. He doesn't know what they are yet.

For someone who had to explain that their post was laced with a bit of humour, I guess you possibly weren't capable of deciphering mine.

I was somewhat taking a stab both at those over-theorising and those critical of people doing so.

However, I will say this; until another tweet comes our way, let's just take it easy, you guys.

My issue wasn't with your post per say, more with the idea that any theory posted (albeit in an inappropriate thread) should be answered by a link to yours.

Nonetheless you're right, we should take it easy. Im still just grateful of the fact that something is actually coming.

(Please insert desperate attempt to get thread back on topic here)

Fatherbrain30 08-28-2010 10:50 AM

So going back on topic, he was actually wrong about Xbox file size? I know that when a company wants to patch a game it needs to be 4 MB max in size on the Xbox. But those are just patches.

Xavier 08-28-2010 11:01 AM

If we can trust wikipedia on this one, the size cap is at 2GB because of technology constraints, meaning Stewart knows what he's talking about and OANST doesn't.

KraZidave 08-28-2010 11:02 AM

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xb...games-over-2gb

That article is just under a year old at this point but it does mention a hard cap of 2GB.

OANST 08-28-2010 11:45 AM

It's not a hard cap, and it isn't a rule set by Microsoft. It's a technical restriction, which the PS3 has, as well.

OANST, I think you're the most fucking annoying person ever...

...but I still manage to like you. ARE YOU MINDFUCKING ME?!

Dont trust Wiki all the time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...tation_3_games

Oddworld is already added on this one ;)

Nate 08-28-2010 06:38 PM

Well that list is goddamn stupid. It doesn't even have AO or AE.

Phylum 08-28-2010 06:41 PM

That list doesn't seem to include PS1 Classics.

I honestly don't understand how there can be a technical restriction where only games up to 2GB can be on the Arcade, when there are 6 GB games next to them in the Games On Demand section.

ledsnipe 08-28-2010 10:59 PM

Just wondering why does it matter if you double post.

Nate 08-29-2010 12:26 AM

If you have a question about that, PM a mod or ask it in Forum Suggestions and Help. Don't spam up a thread just to ask it.

Maybe you should add in you sig you are also normal blind (or just can't read)

Here's the list you want to see

Or maybe better:
The list of the lists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...yStation_games

Nate 08-29-2010 12:52 AM

There's a difference between blindness and laziness, you know.

"I suspect we will be announcing something in September. Then we'll be making a decision on the next after meetings in October :-/ "

Havoc 08-29-2010 03:03 PM

I still don't get how an announcement meant to go out in July gets pushed all the way back to September or maybe even October.

Gilrod, answers please.
