BUT TEH FOLIO IS BETTEHZ

Wow Xav, I thought there was actually a lot of bonus content in the limited edition and folio edition. Hmm they seem a little overprices just for a certificate and slightly better quality

Perhaps, but is that slight improvement really worth the price?

Of course not, but when did I ever care about stuff like that? Hell, I've got AU$150 in the whole world, I'm nearly halfway there.

I was personally disappointed in that the book showed very little of what we haven't already seen. Granted, it had high quality of drawings we only saw in secondhand photos. I love the book though, its great to be able to look down into my lap and see all the pages of Oddworldian glory.

Another thing that annoyed me, however, was how they neglected certain pictures. The book lacked some of the rendered images of the creatures used in the manuals, and seemed to only tease us even further by displaying never-before-seen artwork in thumbnail format in the corner of the page next to a small caption. I was also hoping for the pictures in Lulu's office that lampoon famous paintings like The Mona Lisa and Looks Like Four of a Kind, as well as Lulu's face on SLIME magazine.

So... is it worth getting? Or would I just be buying it for the sake of owning another piece of OW merchendise?

They should have released a PDF version too.

In my opinion that would kill the whole point of the art book. You could probably get most of the information that's included within the artbook on the internet already, a PDF version would be pointless.

Having all the art and information in a pretty book is what makes it special...

I think everyone who hasn't got the art book could check this link.

Is that even legal?

Why not? It's google books!

http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/

i found this in 08. you can browse the book before buying, but its smaller, so you cannot read most things. you can see the pictures fine, though.

EDIT: whoa, AiN's link is better.

AiN''s link only goes up to page 56. I'm assuming more will be added soon...?

I dont think more will be added, its a preview, i bought the art book after reading though it a while back

It is legal, Ballistic gave Google permission to have low-quality scans of some of the pages. More will almost certainly not be added.

Lol. This.

I've noticed this only now... and I couldn't ask HOW MANY COPIES DO YOU HAVE, Wil? And why? :confused:

<3

creeper.

Who said anything about information? I'm talking like 3000x2500 (or higher res) images. I'd rather get something that won't decay with age.

well the bible was written by that Jesus bloke weren't it, and that's been around for like a million years. that aint decayed.

AiN, I have three.

there's a preview on google books!

OMG, really?!

You know you love me, you kind, generous, handsome... never gonna happen, is it?

waiting for mine xD yeahh

from who? Max?

HE AINT SANTA FOLKS

Josh is too big to sit on my lap and ask for things anyway.

Besides, he'd do that even if there wasn't a book involved.

Wouldn't we all?

My lap specifically? Golly, I'm flattered. *blush*

I looked through my book last night for the first time in about 2 years. Wow, that's a long time. Brought back good memories.

Holy shit. Nath posted.
I should say it's been about 2 years, you bastard. Why are you never around?

I didn't realise I was being missed. It's been a very very busy couple of years. And I'm ashamed to say this, but I started to forget about Oddworld :O so I came back to rekindle the spark I once had.

Damn. I feel such a fool.

Ballistic Publishing ship to Aus right? Does anyone know how much postage is and whether or not it's registered post?

Also, welcome back Nath. I don't know you but you're a 2002 member so I imagine you're a legend around here..

Ballistic Publishing is Australian, odds are if they ship anywhere, it's there.

Holy shit, so they are... and they have stores in VIC. mind blown...

I actually bought my soft-cover edition at some book store in brisbane for only $50 AU!

It's somewhere in my closet, I'm sure.

The one I bought was located in Italy, how is that possible?
