Is there such thing as fan of the year on Oddworld.com? Cos my, well, he's not a freind, he's a knob, but he says his cousin is.
(Sorry if this is in the wrong thread mods) |

The lying creep! |
i have a question,
Oddworld Stranger's Wrath will be released 1/3/05 in Holland. But Alf is saying there will be an Europe version of the DVD but all i heard when and how are rumours... anybody can help?? |
well some pre orders spots that will offer the bonus dvd will pop up soon I think
|
Thanks Xav,
Just one more question , I like to have as many versions as possible from Oddworld games i will say my MO collection : Oddworld Munch's Oddysee PAL Oddworld Munch's Oddysee Platium PAL Oddworld Munch's Oddysee Classic PAL Oddworld Munch's Oddysee NTSC i cant use the NTSC but i love to have it:) now i was wondering bechause stranger is comming out soon it will be very much to buy both PAL and NTSC new PAL i will buy new. But does somebody diagree that if i buy the leaked NTSC version, It will be from the world, wont make anybody unhappy etc. I wont make profit of it bechause it is for my collection. what shall i do and what do you think?? ps : if it stays under my budget of course |
What's the point of owning it if it isn't real? Its like buying a christmas tree bauble to add to my collection of Faberge eggs.
|
I'm a bit confused, is SW coming out in Australia and Europe in March or Febuary? The official oddworld site says it is in Feb but I also heard it is coming out in March.
|
Feb I hope. Go to your local gaming store and ask at the counter. March in some places, like EU. But I hope Feb in NZ/Aussie, bt I think not.
(Aint I the advertising guy?) |
Thanks Super Munch, i am going to ask them next time I go to the shops (which will probably be soon, seeing as I only live 5 minutes away from them).
|
Oddworld.com says:
European release date: March 3, 2005 |
:
*dances* What's the chances of that, eh? |
Is Europe getting an Orange cover?
We know for certain that the US has the greeny-white cover colour scheme. However, we saw an uktra high-res german orange cover, and on UK game sites, the thumbnail is of the orange one :s |
:
|
I saw it on oddworld.com, but it must of been an old link.
|
Are there actual post cards of the MO post card pictures (like the life sentence one for example) or are they just pictures?
|
I have thios little question:
Why are the games always first released in US???? I think that it should get released at the same time in all the world :( Now i wont be able to read the spoiler or general talk forums, cuz then it'll get really spoiled... |
Because its made in the US for the US and NTSC televisions and it takes some time to adapt it for PAL.
|
I'm on the side of things being released everywhere at the same time, even if that means the NTSC versions are delayed until the PAL versions are fully finished and ready to ship.
|
I'm with you on that one, but also (I just thought of this) EA probably staggers it so that they are not doing marketing everwhere at the same time. This way they are not stretched too thin and they can reuse elements from the US promotion overseas as well as changing anything that may not have worked.
|
Does anyone have a link to Lorne explaining that Stranger is not part of the Oddworld Quintology? Thanks
|
:
There are 2 major reasons that I know for why Pal takes so long. 1.Europe is apart of Pal, therefore when they change the code to Pal, they would also translate it to all the major Europe lanuages. 2.Reprograming cost time and money (mostly the latter), as translating into all the major lanuages require lots of money. SO the publisher make sure they know that it would be a big seller before they release it into Pal(major reason for the lack of RPGs (think of all the text to translate) and 2D Fighting over here at Pal, 2D fighters are deemed unpopluar :mad: ). To 2 months different may be fast for a Pal game, but for all us Pal Oddworld fans it has been 3 years since enjoying MO, every second counts... |
Max the Mug,
Edition 1 link is dead in first post. Just a notice. |
Thanks, panuru. It is now fixed.

HUMAN FACE IN ODDWORLD ??
Just wondering, is this a medal of a human face??
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...tid=2841&stc=1 (CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE THE LOCATION) It was one of Greneral Dripik many medals that he had on. You can get a real good look if you have any old magazine that have the Abe Exoddus ad. |
this is the face of Farzad, the one who designed the general dripik
|
Can you confirm my vague memory that it wasn't Farzad himself that added that but one of the 3d artists who wanted to give him some credit?
|
:
|
yes, you are right NDW
|
I am amking a new Oddworld Site "Oddworld Forrest", and was wondering, is it legal to make a quote to the Art Book"
|
Technically speaking, you can't even use quotes from the art book, as it's illegal to replicate the textual content in electronic form, too. It's really daft, but that's what it says at the beginning of the book (I once considered quoting those legalise lines on the Forums, just to mess them about :p).
EDIT: Oh, and best of luck with your website. ;) |
OK, thanks Max
|
Uh ok, i have this questionthat needs to be answered quickly... before it's to late..
When will the pal-version of Stranger finally be able to be pre-ordered? i've been waiting so long, and i really, really want that DVD. Will it ever come out in europe??? |
The DVD aint comin' to Europe. Sorry, but you'll have to try the Ebay route.
|
:fuzzle: But....... .... .... This is unbelievable *stares into empty air*
How can they do such a thing?? And i have a pal version, the DVD is only NTSC format, isn't it??? The only way i could get would be through the net... Wouldn't that be illegal??? Aw man.... I never thought OWI would be like this :(... |
NEVER, blame Oddworld. It's EA's promotional DVD.
|
Is it illegal downloading it from the net?? Cuz it's free, right?
|
It depends if it's copyrited, hold on I'll check (Just t let you know, It works in a non-chipped Xbox, I got mine from Ebay, and I'm in Britain)
________________________ Edit: It's copyrited. |
Aww... Damn... Are you sure i wont come to Europe? Cuz i just can't believe it. Alf said himself that we'd get more information about the pal-version of the game /and/ DVD.
What do you mean by non-chipped Xbox? |
In Germany there is that pre-order action, in belgium/netherlands/france you have to win it trough EA promotions
for the other countries I don't know: :
