This thread is now about bitching about the new site.

I'll start:

On Munch Odysee's page.

OMG, they messed up the copyright?

Also no favicon, what the hell?

Oh well who cares, all that is good is that it is out, no bitching.

It's pretty blank at the moment, when it was delayed for months I assumed they were trying to make it perfect... ah well, it's a start.

Yeah me to :( I hope they put a fan sign up!

There's a newsletter sign up, and a chance to be an oddmobb beta-tester.

Lol, yeah i already sighed up for that XD but it would be cool to make your own profile and stuff.

Where's the beta testing???

Full Story on the main site

Can't find it

Dear Fans of Oddworld

Welcome to Oddworld 2.0. As always, we wanted to thank you for your continued support of our franchises. The launch of our new site was designed with our fans in mind. You will be able to have a voice and we will be listening to your feedback.

I am head of marketing at Oddworld and have been here a little over a year. I have been a fan of Oddworld since the games first came out on PS1 however I was in college at the time. So as a fan, it is an honor to work here and be a part of the next generation of things to come.


Over the last few years we have taken a new approach to creating products and franchises. Under the radar we have dipped our toe into opportunities in other media. We have ventured into feature films, explored television and looked into the online space. What we have learned in the last few years has inspired us to move in directions that puts us closer to you, our fans and also pushed us in areas we never thought we would explore.

As we have been fortunate enough to retain the rights to all our franchises, we have recently been relaunching them onto different distribution networks and platforms and will continue to do so. We have been gathering the data from the current distribution channels and are using that to facilitate the best way to develop new products in the world of Web 3.0.

The business models around traditional games are broken. We are looking at new business models, leaner production pipelines, and an ability to adapt to user feedback and market conditions more efficiently.

With that in mind, we have currently been looking at social networks, games and online media in new and inovative ways. Our time over the last eight months Lorne has been focused on establishing a new company Oddmobb. This company will be focused on giving fans the ability to communicate and experience the web in an entirely new way. It will also power some of the new projects we will be building at Oddworld.

Sign up to hear more about what is on the horizon and also have the chance to be a beta tester for Oddmobb.

Thanks again for all your support and stay tuned,

The Native

They should get a forum on there.

They should make an oficial forum out of oddworldforums.net

That would be good!

They fixed the copyright bit.

That means they're modyfiing the site on the go, good.

Maybe they are reading this right now...

And in the oddbox section, they confused abe with munch:P
Anyway, it does need some fine tuning and a lot of tweaking but i wish them all the best, it is a step forward and it shows that they are actually doing something

I helped!

I bet if you hadn't of said about that they woudn't of noticed.
^
Edit: Nobod did notice!!! >:)

Hehe, I just found they copied all of game desriptions from the old site :)

I thought I'd read that Abe's Oddysee description somewhere.

Something is wrong with the game details of AO, AE and MO. It is fitting for AO, but it's the same at the rest.

Actually, you can play AO and AE with 2 players too.

And where's the damn link to http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/


All in all a good start to go with, but I kinda miss the dark nature of the old website. Me loves darkness.

You is goth?

There's something about the new site that reminds me of Xbox.com. But I like it. I agree that the dark purple look was cool.

Maybe we will ask Stewart Gilray to make us a dark theme.

@down: I just wanted to get sure that I will spell it correctly, oh, and you forgot fat font (I call that "B" like that)

I don't think Stewart's first name is printed in an unreadably dark blue italic with an underline on his birth certificate. Please try to get his name correct.

I didn't think it was either, but after exhaustive research I discovered that not only is it printed in unreadable dark blue italics, but they underlined it.
