Please don't make the mistake of thinking that all Facebook games are terrible. Sure, you have a lot of farmville clones and ones that regenerate action points every day, but that doesn't mean you couldn't find a fantastic game on there.
Not sure if everyone is aware of Starcraft or Alien VS Predator Extinction, but those games had very distinctive units with some kind of balance to ensure playability. I'm curious as to how interesting Industrial vs Industrial would be. (Imagine Sligs walking around with different coloured visor eyes or pants, or floating orbs with a different coloured eye! xD) |

Well, it's official. I hate oddworld.
|
Great. Bye!

Shame it wasn't Sligstorm as a few people had speculated. I'm sure it will be a fun game though and I suppose any new Oddworld is good.
Just thought I'd throw in that I said hand of odd would work well on fb ;D lol |

Let's all think about this logically. Hand of Odd appears on Facebook and is probably one of the few half-decent titles on there apart from games like poker and farmville. This gets people to start playing the game and then attracts a whole new audience, thus leading to more future software sales which means more money to make more games and ultimately more happy Oddworld fans :)
And if they connect the facebook game with the ipad version, etc then I think the game is gonna be prettty big indeed. Plus if Oddmobb are experimenting with social networking it seems logical to experiment with content on social networking sites. Don't you think? |
Yeah we should! il send you a raunchy picture of my mutilated genitles which includes a vagina with hairy balls (just like Crashpunks mum). You are so gonna want me! :P xxxx
Ps: At the risk of completly spamming this thread I would like to ask if anybody knows whether Hand Of Odd will require subscription or anything ? |

Now tell us more about your furry Sonic fantasies |
Hand of Odd was always the title I wished hadn't been shelved. The fact that it's making a comeback is great to me. I remember the premise of it being an RTS, but it sounded a bit more 'passive', perhaps a bit more like Civilisation but in real-time? Economy building, genuine survival, rather than direct combat? Maybe it could be a bit more personal than most.
Interesting to see how it will turn out. Here's hoping it will be approached with a serious atmosphere and retains the Oddworld feel. I'll be playing Industrial for sure. Just hearing Sligs yammering while I'm selecting characters would be worth it. |

No, I would love to play Oddworld on the Commodore 64.
|
If I remember right, AO was planned to be released on Dreamcast.

Shame that Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath never made it to the PS2, or things could be very different now. Oddworld Inhabitants are very keen to play the field and not stick to one console, which in the long run could be a good idea.
Sure, a lot of facebook games suck, but have you tried "Wild Ones"? It's a worms clone that has competitive online play. I'm not saying it's the best game ever made, but it's a good example of what you can do with the technology available. I'd love a Sligs vs Mudokons game online (no matter what game genre they pick). Who wouldn't? |

Sooo; I take it that none of these newly announced titles are coming out of the 360? :/
|
I'd prefer it to look like Munch's Oddysee did. I have no idea why but it seems cool.

And stranger I think there all just for ps3 but who knows if they're gonna release them for one online store they might aswell release them for both. |
If anything's evident from the last few months, it's that OWI are trying to get everything on the Xbox 360, but Microsoft are being utter cockheads about it.

But it's three games! ;D hopefully four when they decide to redo Exodus!
But yeah I see what you mean. Buying a whole new console just for 3 downloads is a bit crap. It'll be a major shame if don't release on the xbox 360 as well. If it's upto JAW and Oddmobb though I reckon they will be :D |
Happy to hear that hand of odd is being worked on again, I don't really mind the whole facebook stuff since the concept of the game is enough to excite me. It shouldn't have console ports though, console RTS games almost never go well.
