Depends whose website you're working with and what server it's on.

The new Oddworld website has been "Coming Soon" for like 4-5 years now. If you can wait being told it is coming soon for years and years, you can wait a few extra days after being told it was coming soon again.

We're angry nerds, your argument is invalid.

"Coming soon" is just a vague statement. It's quite different than "it's coming out on July".

Well, obviously something has happened which has prevented them from having released it.

Yes something dreadful has happened such as it not being ready yet

People are overreactive.

I meant as in they weren't able to finish the website in time. Maybe took longer than they had anticipated.

Maybe they don't give a toss about any of us, decided we're not worth having a website made for us, gave up on it, and have decided to drop Oddworld to work on the next Phantom, with Linda McCartney designing the casing and Jesus Christ lending his voice to the firmware screenreader.

... You're not happy, are you? Can't say I blame you really. It seems asthough OWI has been trying to stand back up on crippled legs for the past few years. If nothing comes out of this and yet another deal is dropped, then it will be a sad day for gaming

Oh come now, its only been one day. I'm sure they said something MIGHT be ready in July, and that probably goes for the website too. I expect it will be up in the next week, and if not then atleast a twitter update.

Oh please: I'm make fun of the people who aren't happy.

Not to mention it's a weekend. Do these people even work weekends?

There have been far longer delays in gaming before. Think about all those poor Dead Rising fans.

You know, the thing I'm kinda pissed about isn't the fact that OWI is late (again), but that they don't let anyone know they won't make the deadline while they probably knew themselves for ages.

Deadlines are broken all the time in game developer land, release dates are put back, games are delayed and all that stuff. But whenever that happens it's announced. You never see a developer claim a game will be in stores on August 1st and then without any kind of message from the developer it isn't there on that date. You simply can't do that and the same goes for anything else you make public.

You simply don't publish a deadline on something you aren't sure is feasible and if you MUST publish a deadline, at least have the damn courtesy to let us know you're not making it. IMO this is just plain rude, how long does it take to jump on Twitter, I mean seriously.

Will let you know when the new site is up. We've been pretty busy on Lorne's new invention. It will take awhile. Just dont mobb us......

I have the same feeling about that.. It's hard to be an oddworld's fan

I see what you did there. I think.

I'm with you on this one Havoc.

The Native, does that mean the new site's pushed back a few days or a few months?

All this news is driving me crazy! I want this New Website and i want it now!

"It will take a while"... I bet it'll be AT LEAST another month by the sounds of that.
And to all of you who seem a bit pissed off... maybe you shouldn't be so passionate about a game, and go try and enjoy your life. I know that addictions and passions like this kind are usually caused by an absence of passion in real life..

Or maybe we just really like games and find them fun.

Video games are too unimportant in the scale of things to become enraged over them. Look at the positive: it's coming.

...

Similar things were said about Citizen Siege...

I don't mind that it's not here now. I just dislike lateness.

Well then, I guess we'll never see this project realised. We should all ignore the announcements and just moan.

Well, yeah. Obviously.

Hi everyone
i know this is off topic but i just wanted to say hi, i have been follwoing these forums for a very long time and with all the hype about a new oddworld game coming soon i thought iw uold join in. My names Rob im 18 and live in the UK, so....HI :)

On Topic: I personally can wait a little longer for the website, many other game have got delayed in the past and for me it jsut feels like another one of those times.

HI Berty, welcome to the forums.

Gaming is my passion in real life. Shut up. Don't judge me!!

I thought your passion was fursuits.

I never said to do that.

I wouldn't be found dead in one of those.

Oh so you'd rather be found alive?
:tard:

I never said that you said to do that. I said that's what you were already doing.

But anyways! Let's all take our medicinal marajuana and just enjoy ourselves!

I threw up.

Exactly, I could quite happily get by with a twitter update every few days till it's finished but they don't even see fit to give us that... they better have something special coming.

Indeed, that's precisely how I feel as well.

We so hate to leave the fans in a lurch. Please understand there is a lot to do as we take on new approached to video games. We are approaching this new age in a very lean manner. Trying to give the fans lots of different opportunities to enjoy the Oddworld franchise and ways to interact with eachother. Some PSN Europe codes below for your patience- First come first served.

I think that most of us are just sick and tired of the ambiguity. Trying to give us lots of different ways to enjoy the Oddworld franchise and interact with each other? What does that mean? We all understand the need for secrecy before a full announcement, but after five years of nonsensical statements in regards to products that your fans, much less the general populace, couldn't care less about, well, it becomes frustrating.

I don't even care that you're going to be late on the website. Doesn't matter. I just wish that you people would come to the conclusion that if you can't, or won't say anything of substance then you shouldn't say anything at all.

And as for the antisocial network, good luck with your worst failure yet.

Hey all...

For those wondering, and those not I'm Stewart Gilray from JAW, and have been lurking here for AGES!

Anyway, we had fully intended to announce 2 projects in the past week, however due to other considerations we're just wanting you guys to wait a lil-bit-longer.

When that'll be I can't say yet, as I REALLY don't know. But we want to make you guys happy, and we think we will :)

Soon.
