So, remake AO, AE and MO?

Yeah why not, but I rather have something truly new.

Well, that's what I've been saying. But if they have to do a reboot, I don't think they should start at MO, but instead should go back to the beginning. As they aren't likely to do either, it's a moot point anyway.

They may go backwards, I mean first remake of SW, then MO and so on...

Bullet Magnet 12-07-2010 05:51 AM

Wait, are they re-releasing Stranger's Wrath while also planning to release the remastered one down the line?

lismati 12-07-2010 05:54 AM

I meant that PS3 version. It's kinda remake after all, isn't it?

Yes, but the first is for the PC, the second is for the PS3. I don't know why the remastered one isn't for PC...

No, just a remastering.

People will be ticked off if they have a new copy of SW and then the special one comes out only a little while after.

Xavier 12-07-2010 09:01 AM

The thing is, they are not on the same platform...

Paul 12-07-2010 09:05 AM

I wouldn't get too annoyed over them just being ports of old games. Since it seems pretty clear other stuff is going to happen too. And from a PR point of view it wouldn't make sense to be all "OMG ODDBOX AND X AND Y AND Z AND MAYBE Q" because it would overwhelm people and move attention away from the upcoming releases.

So perhaps a couple of months after OddBox is out we'll see something new?

Mr. Bungle 12-07-2010 10:42 AM

I think they're using these ports as a way to fund their new projects. At least, I hope this is the case.

The redux of SW for PS3 is something of a promotional move.
Yes, SW comes included on the Oddbox, but that's exclusively for download and it's a package deal.
The PS3 release is them saying "Okay, here's what we're capable of" to future consumers, as well as giving a criminally underrated game the boost it didn't get from EA.

Paul 12-07-2010 03:20 PM

Hang on.. the PC version will *not* be the remastered one? :|

Nate 12-07-2010 03:56 PM

That's correct.

Well, a couple of months after OddBoxx is out, we'll see the PS3 version. Then a couple of months after that... probably nothing much, given the length of time needed to create games these days.

lismati 12-11-2010 01:18 PM

You Dawg, I heard you like Alf, so I put Alf into your rehab, so you can Alf when you Alf. (Or something like this)

marlz 12-15-2010 12:59 AM

All I can say is...
Alf, tell Lorne Lanning and the crew at OWI that I'm sorry if I over posted in the Oddboxx section of the new Oddworld site, cause I noticed that everything I posted was removed (why that was the case, I don't fully know).

AND WELCOME BACK! How's the Rehab and Tea going?
