Non-buyers will be taken out as well.

pupbenny 01-31-2012 07:28 AM

Er.... I hope you guys are joking about microtransactions.

Glitch 01-31-2012 07:33 AM

Yes we are Pupbenny*

whats wrong with debug menus >: (
except that they can bring lots of fun to the game XD

Varrok 01-31-2012 10:04 AM

What about making game patches as paid DLCs?

No, better...

What about not making any patches at all, and selling game cheat trainers as DLCs(like noclip for unstucking the character etc.) - it'd save a whole lot of dev time!

STM 01-31-2012 10:06 AM

What about they just make the friggin' vanilla and sell it?

Chubfish 01-31-2012 10:08 AM

Get "stuck" in RuptureFarms? Need invincibility? Or even...invisibility?

Abe HD "Debugged" DLC! Only £19.95!

Varrok 01-31-2012 10:15 AM

Can I work at JAW now?
I wouldn't really need any earnings, I'd do it for pure satisfaction

MeechMunchie 01-31-2012 11:24 AM

You should charge people who want to pirate your game.

It's so obvious, I surprise myself sometimes.

Varrok 01-31-2012 11:27 AM

You should charge people who want to BUY your game.

That way you'll be sure they've got money

If Abe HD will be in 2.5D, will the graphics file be smaller than Stranger HD?

Glitch 02-01-2012 03:41 AM

Potentially. It may not be as simple as that.

pupbenny 02-01-2012 06:09 AM

I, in some way, hope it is lower, I think. If it is lower it might be able to be on the Xbox 360.

Havoc 02-01-2012 08:29 AM

Why wouldn't it be on the 360 if it's bigger??

Varrok 02-01-2012 08:31 AM

Something about 2GB limit?

File size was one of the contributing factors to Stranger HD not coming out on 360.

Jesus, man. Those tigers give you a swat to the head?

Spooce-aholic 02-01-2012 10:37 AM

Will Abe HD have graphics settings? Like resolution, texture detail, geometry detail, etc?

Wil 02-01-2012 11:16 AM

I should hope so. I shall have to bash everyone in the office over the head if they decide not to.

Well, yes. But I see plenty of full games that are for sale on Xbox Live's Games on Demand section. The 2GB only goes for arcade titles, I think. And I'm assuming Abe HD is not going to be classed as an arcade title?

JennyGenesis 02-01-2012 10:38 PM

I don't think it will be, considering JAW's unsuccessful attempt to get SWHD on XBLA.

Games on Demand is only for games that have already sold over 1 million copies at retail. Stranger HD didn’t meet that requirement and neither will Abe HD.

pupbenny 02-02-2012 01:54 AM

What about over time?

enchilado 02-02-2012 02:17 AM

Unlikely.

Nate 02-02-2012 02:32 AM

I thought the 2GB limit was only for games that were not originally made for digital distribution. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wil 02-02-2012 02:54 AM

Anything that goes on XBLA has to be under 2 GiB. Anything that goes on Games on Demand has to be published by a company that has previously released two million-or-more-unit-selling Xbox titles. Microsoft have the freedom to ignore these guidelines if they wish, but in the case of Oddworld, they don't have the desire to.

We still have potential solutions that we're working on.

Havoc 02-02-2012 03:23 AM

Just don't partner up with EA again and I'll be happy.

Clannfear 02-02-2012 05:30 AM

^ Thats right. The only good think bout EA as I remember is Dead Space.

pupbenny 02-02-2012 06:08 AM

Something tells me Lorne Lanning won't want to team up with EA again, and I doubt that EA want to team up with Oddworld again. Could be something about Lorne Lanning saying that "EA sabotaged Stranger's Wrath."

But why don't Microsoft want to ignore the lines for Oddworld? They'd make alotta money if they did, I bet. If they don't they'd be stupid as alot of people who only have 360 but can't play the Oddworld games on it buy a PS3. Therefore Sony get more money and Microsoft lose some.
