No. You did awfully. You did so badly you have permanently bruised my soul. We can never forgive you. You are permanently disowned by this forum. Turn in your robe at the door.

Leave. Leave now and never return.

Lord Stanley 05-10-2010 08:56 AM

*Sigh.* Warning: WISHFUL THINKING AHEAD!

Wouldn't it be nice if they did rise again out of the dust, and made more awesomeness we could be proud of?

Slag? 05-10-2010 05:11 PM

See look, I made a conversation start up.

And yes, IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL!

Steam achievements for the Oddworld games... I LOVE IT! Playing the Oddworld games from a completely different perspective :D.

Fischkopf 05-11-2010 07:25 AM

I hope it will not be steam only Because i'd like to own this collection on a DVD in a nice package carton maybe as limited edtion with posters, soundtrack inside.

It will be.

Luskan 05-11-2010 12:26 PM

I'm not exactly sure how much space Steam and games take up, but one of my mates was saying it takes up a fair bit of space, anyone have a rough idea of how much this would take up?

Nate 05-11-2010 06:12 PM

As much as would have been stored on one CD-ROM (AO), two CD-ROMs (AE) or a DVD (MO and SW). So, a fair amount of storage.

Lord Stanley 05-11-2010 06:17 PM

I wouldn't care if it took up 30 GB. I'll just be happy to get my fingers on the keyboard and blow some Wolvark's brains out!!

Nate 05-11-2010 06:31 PM

I'd recommend you get a controller for your computer. Action/platforming games tend to be pretty shitty with keyboards.

Varrok 05-11-2010 09:13 PM

No, not really... it's a matter of habit ;) I play Devil May Cry games with a keyboard

MeechMunchie 05-11-2010 11:17 PM

Mouselook is truly the work of a Higher Power. It's the main reason why I love FPSs and TPAs on computer.

Lord Stanley 05-12-2010 12:32 PM

I have a mouse. I use it for FPS games. I just didn't want to go through all the trouble to write "and my other hand on the mouse" but now I'm going through all the trouble to write a whole 'nother post...

Wake me up... when oddbox comes... horrible i know..

What? Lorne said otherwise.

Phylum 05-15-2010 03:56 AM

It will only distributed digitally.

Nate 05-15-2010 04:09 AM

Steam is not the only digital distribution platform.

However, no announcement has yet been made as to whether the Oddbox will be released on GOG.com like AO and AE were.

Namida 05-17-2010 06:31 AM

I take it there's no updates on the actual progress with it?

Crashpunk 05-17-2010 11:12 AM

OWI are still porting MO & SW onto Steam last time i heard

Daxter King 05-20-2010 07:24 PM

I want this now damnit.

marlz 07-05-2010 12:32 AM

So, will it actually come out before the year is over?
I'm really starting to worry now. I guess I got all impatient because I was working on a Munch's Exoddus packaging concept for a school project. eheh...

Come on OWI! Don't let us down!

Holy Sock 07-05-2010 03:03 AM

The website is out this month (apparently) so I expect that we'll have some form of update regarding the progress of the Oddbox. I mean, Lorne said that MO was essentially finished and it was only SW which was proving to be rather problematic.

abe is now! 07-05-2010 03:59 AM

It isn't because I just visited it.

I said it's out this month. Not "It's out now".

marlz 07-05-2010 05:02 PM

When you say "the website" are you referring to the Official Oddworld Site or something else?

This month: Means a later date in the current month

Now: The Current date in the current month

OANST 07-06-2010 06:22 AM

Why do you think that it's coming this month?

marlz 07-06-2010 06:29 PM

Well, I'll hold you to that MeechMunchie. OWI, you can do it!

But do you guys think it's a good idea releasing the Oddbox the month that the holidays end? I mean, that comes acroos as bad planning, in my view, but meh...

End? Do people go back to school/uni/college in August?

Nate 07-07-2010 03:52 AM

In Australia, yes.

Perhaps Marlz isn't aware that gaming companies would schedule themselves based on the Northern Hemisphere calendar. Who am I kidding? They only care about the USA.

That's right, Australia's school year is different due to the seasonal differences. I remember from when I was at school there for a year.....

It was never specified what site would be new. Just a "new Oddworld site". Could be http://oddmobb.com/

... wait... you only went to school for one year?



Back on topic... you're right, Nate. The English releases of a lot of games are determined by the US. Heck, some games have only ever been released in NTSC for the English versions (I am, of course, talking about Kingom Hearts - Re: Chain of Memories :fuzsad:)

Yes, that's exactly what I meant...

Oh look, we're on the front page of the Gaming Sub-Reddit.

Q-Ball 07-12-2010 10:41 PM

Is there any news about Oddbox pack?
