Well, then all I have to say is "yay!"

Taco 12-08-2009 11:12 PM

Yay indeed, the wait is killing me though.

Crashpunk 12-08-2009 11:22 PM

Waiting for games is always hard Taco, i know the feeling when i was waiting for Brawl. It worth it in the end though...

enchilado 12-08-2009 11:25 PM

I can wait.


but it will be HARD

Taco 12-08-2009 11:47 PM

It's even worse when steam gives you a date for a game pack and it shows you a coutdown until it gets unlocked and you can buy it. I start counting the minutes..

Leto 12-09-2009 01:32 AM

pfft this wait is nothing; the wait for stranger was far worse (or oblivion, even worse)

MarsMudoken 12-09-2009 02:42 AM

If that were true it would've been eaten by now, now wouldn't it?

EDIT: this was a response to enchilado's statement about the Mcdonalds cheeseburger. In 5 seconds I was on an entirely different page. I have no clue what just happened.

I think we should permaban anyone who shows any indication of having obtained their Oddworld games illegally.

HEY! I just ad an interesting thought.
Why doesn't OWI release Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus for the 360 or Xbox Live Arcade so that you can play all the Oddworld games on the Xobox as well? I personally don't own an Xbox, but wouldn't it seem logical to make it available for that console too?

Wil 01-05-2010 02:22 PM

Because Microsoft has shown no interest in facilitating that.

moxco 01-05-2010 02:25 PM

You can't play Stranger on 360. It's nnot backwards compatible. MO is though.

used:) 01-05-2010 11:10 PM

So, how do you think MO and SW would run on either an old Windows XP or a new Dell Inspiron?

Nate 01-06-2010 04:46 PM

Specs of the original Xbox.

Other than that, there's no point discussing it until they announce the game specs. We just can't know.

Hazz-JB 01-10-2010 12:53 PM

I wonder if they'll try and fix the bugs with AO and AE if they're remarketing them in the Odd Box (namely the stereo sound bug)? I don't know how hard it would be considering they are ports from the old PC versions.

Also, I hope they make the standalone prices of MO and SW reasonable for those who already own the Abe games on Steam.

Wil 01-10-2010 12:55 PM

The PlayStation versions are the original. The PC versions are the ports.

I meant for "old PC versions" to mean the old PC ports and not the recent digital ones.

Actually, I've been playing the PS1 games for years and found the differences on the Steam versions quite a shock compared to what I was used to. I wonder why they "turbo"d up the game for the PC version?

Wil 01-10-2010 01:23 PM

Sorry, I misunderstood.

The Steam versions are pretty much exactly the same as the original PC ports, most of the changes done for compatibility. The change in speed and music is the same as it was in the nineties.

Hazz-JB 01-10-2010 02:22 PM

OK, I guessed that about the speed and music. I'm just wondering how likely it is that they'd fix the left and right stereo sound switch and if it's possible. I suppose they would have done it by now if they were going to, but thought they might try and touch the games up if they're marketing them again.

IThoughtIHadAGoodJob 01-12-2010 07:40 AM

I have AO and AE on PS1 discs, but I also downloaded them on PSN so I could play them on PSP (AWESOME)!
Since I've always been with PS, I've never played MO or SW, but they SERIOUSLY should be available on PSN! (Even if you can only play them from the PS3.)
I crave my Oddworld...

Lorne mentioned the idea but I'm not sure this is really going to happen.

Aleks55 01-12-2010 07:00 PM

I already own AO and AE on my pc with the disks, but its cool to hear that people on steam get a chance to play the games now (if they already haven't of course)

SteCu 01-13-2010 05:49 AM

:fuzblink: Hi there , one question guys. if you own MO and you played it on X360. is the sound working correctly, I own a MO disc and the sound does not work

Varrok 01-13-2010 05:52 AM

You mean "sounds like it's far away" or "sound doesn't work at all"?

SteCu 01-13-2010 05:55 AM

sound in general, music voices, background sounds, i only hear the sounds when cinematic comes out

Varrok 01-13-2010 05:58 AM

Try turning Volume Up, it sounds very quietly... I'm afraid you can do nothing about it, just wait for PC Steam Version or keep restarting the game 'till you hear the level sounds (happens RARELY) :P

SteCu 01-13-2010 06:15 AM

thx :), lets hope that it will come out on Steam,

Josh 01-13-2010 08:38 AM

MO on the Xbox 360 has always had shitty sound. Get an Xbox and play it on that if you want to, or wait for the OddBox.

Lord Stanley 01-14-2010 06:57 AM

Does anyone know the exact release date yet? My hands are shaking, my eyes are weak, and my life-force is being drained from me because it's taking so long...

Grieva 01-14-2010 07:02 AM

your eyes are weak? no exact release date yet

Crashpunk 01-14-2010 08:00 AM

i heard it was rumoured winter 2010

Wil 01-14-2010 08:18 AM

The hope is Q1 2010.

Lord Stanley 01-15-2010 08:13 AM

I hope it comes out, say...today? That would be so AWESOME!!!

WTF does "Q1" mean?
1st quarter.

moxco 01-20-2010 11:30 PM

Woah, calm down!

Is this 'dude' a reliable source for information? Have you got any evidence to support the claim?

And as for Q1; I know no more than yourself, Unless they are referring to the gifuckingmungus building on the Gold Coast. I doubt this is the situation.

EDIT: Dammit meech!

brechtos 01-20-2010 11:38 PM

One can only hope that they release it in the coming 2 weeks:)

'know' is a very strong word there, Van.

Lord Stanley 01-26-2010 08:43 AM

Yeah, Max knows everything.

abe619 01-26-2010 03:15 PM
