New 'n' Tasty really fits. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee: New 'n' Tasty!

I'm actually agreeing with people that want Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee in the title no matter what.

Loving the New and Tasty idea, good one.

I think it should be kept simple and also retain the original name in it. Possibly Abe's Oddysee Redux, as someone else has said. Or something similar.

Oddworld Abe's Oddysee Repackaged

Maybe a little flat, but it's just a reference to Rupturefarms being a meat packing factory.

Or, expanding on the New "N" Tasty title, how about Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee New "N" HD, since HD sort of sounds like tasty.

I don't like all these in-universe jokes. Sure, they're hilarious* to us, but they'll just sound nonsensical to people who have never played the games or who have played them but a long time ago.




*Note: Not really.

Geez, what a stupid contest. Not to mention that everything without "HD" will NOT fit good enough to MO HD and SW HD

Oddworld Revisited: Abe's Oddysee
Oddworld Revisited: Munch's Oddysee
Etc...

Why would they have to fit them? In fact, the point is that it doesn't fit them.

I find it interesting actually, and I can't wait to see the winning name. I kind of the like the difficulty to this, it's not a developer saying "Here is this brand new game we have made, we can't think of a name for it, here is some gameplay footage and the story, decide a name for it"

It's a developer taking an established series and making this cocktail game of old and new, I think the difficulty of this contest comes with the fact that this game is a "Remake" (if that is the correct word) of a classic game, so really it's about coming up with a genius title that incorporates the old title as well as adding something new to separate it from the old game.

MO HD and SW HD are refreshed versions of MO and SW. Abe HD is kinda refreshed too... but just more fresh

I agree, it is a strange situation in a way! Abe HD, I understand, is a one-off remake and there is no intention of remaking the other games in the series, aside from the HD ones. If you change the title completely therefore, so it bears no 'Abe's Oddysee' or even 'Oddworld', it kinda gives the impression it's the beginnings of a new or (dare I say it) rebooted franchise. It breaks any connection the remake has with the original and treats it as being separate. It just seems pointless to treat it as a separate game entirely, being a one-off, if there is no intention of continuing the remakes.

My understanding is that the remake will be canon, and that we should in a way be treating it as the definitive version of 'Abe's Oddysee'. To change the name completely seems like we would be saying Abe's Oddysee no longer exists in the game series. I don't see any reason to drop this title other than an attempt to modernise (read- shorten), but everyone is doing that these days and I would like Oddworld to keep it's classic titling convention.

I did also suggest 'The Oddworld Quintology: Part 1', which is essentially what AO is, but admittedly this would make more sense if there were plans to remake Munch too.

I remember someone asking a while ago if AE was to be remade also, and the reply from JAW was along the lines of 'if Abe HD does well, don't see why not'. If this were to happen, I take it AE HD would follow the naming formula established for Abe HD. If this is the case, a 'title:subtitle' name would be perfect for linking the two by changing the subtitle. Apologies for long post!

The Perilous Predicament of Abraham Lure
The Enigmatic Epic of Abe

etc

Seriously I've submitted like 10 now, I can't stop...

Keep doing that, maybe they'll regret making the contest! :D

Actually I would like a more serious version of this for all the remakes.

Origins of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Origins of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

And so forth.

I think that would sell the updated graphics short, though. It implies that the entire game is a throwback when JAW are working hard to keep it relevant today.

Just be glad JAW are actually contacting the fans. I think it's really thoughtful of them to ask us. :)

It's not like anybody's against Abe HD (or Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee HD)

Oddworld: Abe's new Oddysee

To be honest, well know they're going to make their own name and create an imaginary person to 'win' the contest. What an elaborate reuse.

I'm still sticking with Oddworld: Abe's Oddiversary.

Simple, yet effective enough to get the message across.

*Aw! Who put that? I submitted something like that. I went straight to the page before reading all the suggestions.

I think I've submitted like 20 now. I'd bet we're the only people submitting names, but we've all submitted like 100 each.

Damn, I want that cover art.

These are mine, some shit, some OK.
Insuboddinate
Oddworld: Froddeur
Abe's Oddysee Remoddel
Abe's Oddysee Renoddvation
Abe's Oddysee Reprodduction
Abe's Oddysee Moddernised
Abe's Oddysee Reprise
Rupture
Employee 100
Bloddshed Revolution (I don't even think that one makes sense)
The one I'm most proud of, however is
Oddworld: Insuboddination
The rest I can't remember, except this which, thank god, I refrained from posting.
Abe's Oddysee OH MY GODD IT'S SO AMAZING Oddition


Some of the suggestions in the comments are really, really bad compared to ours.

Funny how the world works! I thought 'Insuboddination' last night after going through a list of synonyms for relevant words, looking for somewhere to sneak in 'odd', but didn't submit any ideas for it! I was thinking maybe 'Oddworld: Abe's Insuboddination'. Guess you beat me to it :)

Have you seen the shit he shares on Facebook? The man is batshit insane.

I submitted Oddworld HD: Abe's Habitual Death Oddysee.

Munch's Oddysee: Hacksaw Deluxe edition

Not that it matter but Stranger's Wrath: HUNT DOWN

that last one is dumb but my favourite.

I like this.

I too was looking through an online thesaurus, I think I spent too much time on it, I've been looking for about an hour for words relating to stuff like revolution and rebellion that I can incorporate the word 'odd' into.

I just looked for trisyllablic words containing 'od'.

Odysseus' Abeventure.

Abe and the Abeonauts.

Elum's Big Adventure 3

Abe's Soddomy

I used an online word search for words containing 'od', just asking for an extra 'd', but it said there were over 2000 and didn't display results. I narrowed it down by looking for words ending in 'od', etc, and there wasn't really anything suitable.

Seems OWI struck lucky with Oddysee and Exoddus!
