Beyond Good & Evil HD

Whilst HD may be generic and used a lot these days a I think it's short and works well as it perfectly sums up the game.

It gives you the impression that the game is not a remake, but the same game on a different platform with a higher poly count.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Z

('Z' as a reference to the added 'z-axis')

or...

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee XYZ

Simple, catchy, almost identical title to original, and can be re-used on other future remakes eg. Abe's Exoddus XYZ

or...

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee +Z

I like Abe's Oddysee X, but add X onto the end of anything and it sounds cool.

Abe's Oddysex: XXX Edition

I suggest "Same Old Abe's Oddysey"

Umm... http://survivalhorroronline.com/wp-c.../10/SHHDEU.jpg

Actually I was referring to Shattered Memories, which is a remake/re-imagining of the first game. What you posted is exactly the same games as the originals but with a higher poly count.
Oosh.

X may imply that it is the 10th game.

But if the previous ones weren't in Roman numerals then problem solved.

Think of Code: Veronica X
That was just a port to the GameCube but with more content. I kind of like Abe's Oddysee X, but it doesn't make much sense. Then again, neither does Code: Veronica X.

Also it sounds gimmicky and tacky.

I think Abe's Oddysee HD is a bad name since it implies it's the same 2D, screen-scrolling game with its bitmap graphics updated to HD resolution, while in fact it's a complete remake, with 3D graphics and scrolling, with slightly different levels and altered gameplay. In fact, an HD version of Abe's Oddysee (as in the same graphics with HD quality) isn't really impressive in today's standards. That name would be quite misleading the disappointing.

Personally I like Abe's Oddysee Redux suggested earlier that thread, it give the right impression and it sounds cool. The pun-ny title names sure are clever, but they don't fit the dark nature of AO. It's box-art material. :P

Ok then how about Abe's Oddysee 2.5 Oddimension?

Or just Abe's Oddysee 2.5? Sounds cool.

Without the D it sounds like there's been an Abe's Oddysee 1, 2 and 3, like RE 2.5.

But RE 1.5/2.5/3.5 weren't actual games, just betas, and you're right, it does make it sound like a beta.

I've successfully added 28 suggestions, I want to add at least 2 more.
Because then it would be a number ending with a zero and would put my mind at ease.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddventures
Oddworld: Abe's HD Memories: Oddysee
Oddworld: Abe HDfied
Tales of Oddworld: Abe

Damn you. Your ideas gave me a new idea and now I'm on 31. Fucks sake, now I'm going to have to think of another nine!

You make Nepsotic think. You MONSTER.

Oh, fuck, just call it Oddworld.

ABE'S IN THE WOODS

Oddworld I
Name all of the remakes and future OddWorlds in roman numerals for the hells of it, kind of seems cool to me. Then again it may end up getting rather redundant. /:

I like this. Then Abe's Exoddus could be Oddworld I.a, and people would stop mixing up which games are in the Quintology and which aren't.

I.a?

What does that mean? I would have though that II would be appropriate since it is the second game in the series even though it's not part of the quintology.

Sorry, I should have made it I.b for Exoddus.

My point was that people get confused about which games are the official Quintology sequence. If the main games are I, II, III, IV, and V (or I.a, II.a, III.a, IV.a, and V.a), it will be clear which games fit with which.


Also, I wasn't actually suggesting they would be good names.

I.b/a is for maths questions. I like I.5.

Reminds me of Assassin's Creed. The numbered games (1,2,3) are new characters and timelines, whereas the subtitled sequels in between carry on the story of that character.

I did also suggest 'The Oddworld Quintology: Part 1' a few days ago, which is similar to using numerals I suppose. I like it because it gives the series almost a storybook feel, and in many respects Oddworld is like a dark fairy tale.

It would be clear which games are part of the quintology, and the bonus games could fit the AC model. For example, everything under the 'part 1' moniker would be Abe, 'part 2' would be Munch, and so on. Perhaps something like 'The Oddoworld Quintology: Abe's Exoddus' could follow, to show it is a continuation of the first character and not the beginning of the next.

Additional games like SW would work nicely as they are (as in 'Oddworld: title') as it shows they are related to the Oddworld franchise but not Quintology characters.

Nate thinks there will be new Quintology games. I like him. He's funny.

I think the way it was was clear enough, to be honest.

Having the quintology games titled 'Oddysee' and the and the bonus games titled 'Exoddus' was an excellent method. The only people confused by that seemed to be people that were only newly aware that the 'quintology' even existed.

Stranger's Wrath was really the only thing that threw a spanner in the mix because of the introduction of a new character without it being a new iteration of the quintology or a bonus game featuring any of the quintology characters. Even then, though, if Oddworld kept making games it would've become more clear as more games with the 'Oddysee/Exoddus' title convention were released.


As far as titles go, so far I think 'New 'n' Tasty' and 'Ground Up' have been the most fitting suggestions. Something with 'odd' in it seemed okay at first, but the more I think about it, having it in a word on top of 'oddysee' would be odd overkill.

ODDVERKILL

That's my name suggestion, by the way.
