I guess that I am one of the few that enjoyed Munch's Oddysee. I have played all 4 games over and over and can't decide on a favorite. I feel like it is Christmas, waiting on any news of the new projects. It is like I am starving, waiting for someone to throw me a bone.

Hazel-Rah 07-24-2010 09:31 AM

SW was my least favorite, I liked AE and MO about the same (very much) and AO is my favorite and I know what you mean, it's gonna be like reliving my childhood.

Phylum 07-24-2010 05:15 PM

I think Lorne is going to have to make a tough decision: the quintology will rely on some of the plot elements that weren't in MO, so will Lorne have to make ME before any other quintology games, or does he squeeze the story into the next game and force that games story into a bonus game?

Havoc 07-24-2010 05:33 PM

I think the final story we'll see in the Abe movie will be much more detailed and changed than the one we're currently seeing in the story. For all intents and purposes, the Abe games so far have been a test ride. Both technology wise and story wise.

Personaly i really liked MO, and the only reason thats stopping me playing it again is that i like to chat with my friends from school and online buddies whilest playing my 360. But since its an original Xbox game i cant do that.

Ive got into a habbit of playing whilest talking to friends :/ and it feels weird and empty experience without doing it.

I played AE for the first time in 2-3 years, and finnished with 300 mudokons a few days ago, whilest talking on Xbox LIVE ... only by having a party chat full of friends and turning the channel over and playing AE XD

But my least favorate Game was Stranger ... i didnt like the fact that Abe Wasnt in it. And i dont want to sound like a little shitty fanboy kid who only likes Oddworld titles with Abe in it ... but it just didnt have that Spark that Oddworld has with first 3 games, thats my personal oppinion anyway :)

Strangely enough, I also like MO more than SW.

Secondly, in the VG247 interview there was this part:

:

Can you clarify if any of these titles will be HD ports or new stuff?

Stewart Gilray: Oh goodness. That’s tricky, because anything we do do, if it happens to be on a console, will be HD.

I don't know if it was confirmed before, but this basically confirms no Wii games.

Munchs Oddysee is the better game.

As much I like Munch's Oddysee, saying its a better game then Stranger's Wrath doesn't sound right to me.

SW had amazing graphics and gameplay and didn't seem anything wrong with it. MO was glitchy and felt like a test game to test if Oddworld was any good in 3D.

I hope the Oddbox will make both of them seem better.

STM 07-25-2010 02:57 AM

I agree with Crashpunk, it sucks that they couldn't add in any of that cool stuff like the big armies, cool graphics snoozers and stuff but hey, that's xbox!

You have clearly forgotten the SW shadow bug.

And how was MO glitchy?

Stranger4002 07-25-2010 03:18 AM

Brilliant! I had a feeling in my gut that something exciting and new would come from Oddworld soon and now it looks like my gut feelings were correct! Hoorah! :D

Jordan 07-25-2010 03:44 AM

What bugs me is that people never moaned so much about MO before. It wasn't that bad. I swear most of you are just moaning about it for the sake of it.

GlukkonGluk 07-25-2010 03:49 AM

Nah, MO was never popular with most, I'm afraid :( obviously, for people who had been led to expect so much more (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjB1eeGIcfI- see what i mean?) then it was a big letdown. But for people like me, who didn;t even know it was coming, it was quite enjoyable. Hey ho.

STM 07-25-2010 04:52 AM

I didn't mind it but it gets boring too quickly for me

They've been moaning about it since it came out, including on this forum.

GlukkonGluk 07-25-2010 06:32 AM

Max is right. Nine long years of moaning. *Sigh*.

It must of been my copy of MO because my textures always glitch up and the camera was weird. and I've never notist the Shadow bug in SW

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-25-2010 11:39 AM

shadow bug?

Wil 07-25-2010 12:39 PM

In SW, you can see the shadows of characters on the opposite sides of walls, ceilings, etc. It's as though the shadow isn't stopped by the near side of the wall and just keeps on going.

It's not a problem unique to SW, other 3D games have the same problem. I often get in Half-Life 2.

LawgSkrak 07-25-2010 05:58 PM

PLayin SW right now, and haven't noticed that at all.

And YAY!! New Oddworld games. Can't wait! :)

Everytime I see more of what MO could have been, I die a little inside. Back in my console days the news of MO being ported to Xbox singlehandedly made me loathe Xbox for atleast 5 years.

I wonder, did OWI simply run out of momentum at that point or was the game really just rushed for the Xbox's release? And if thats the case, would it have also been rushed for the PS2's release?

If the quintology is going to be rebooted, it may be just aswell... I love the Oddworld universe exactly as it is, but I really can't see the quintology picking up where it left off, unless they cram one hell of alot of content and story into ME (in episodes), while telling the more elaborate version of Oddworld through the films.

Mikaeel 07-25-2010 07:12 PM

They could do it the way they did GTA!

Have the first game give you a new character and missions and all. Then for DLC throw in a few new characters, keeping the same levels and all so they don't gotta spend so much money.

STM 07-26-2010 12:17 AM

What would e great would be a 3D RPG like Fallout 3 but with Oddworld, where you have more freedom and you can follow a number of quests. I doubt they would ever do it even if they where following the quintology but I can see that being really good.

Mr. Bungle 07-26-2010 01:04 AM

New Oddworld Game(s)? Damn, it's about time! I've only been waiting, what....9 years? I suppose that I had better get to playing Stranger pretty soon.

Anyone have any clues as to what it's gonna be? I've got my fingers crossed for Munch's Exoddus, though I have my doubts.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-26-2010 02:43 AM

i dont want ME, MO was a big enough screw up on its own,

Phylum 07-26-2010 03:02 AM

The original story from MO still needs to be told.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-26-2010 03:03 AM

and it has been

Josh 07-26-2010 03:16 AM

ORIGINAL STORY. The one they cut.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-26-2010 01:11 PM

oh soz

Mr. Bungle 07-26-2010 01:24 PM

I wish they'd come out with the original MO one day. I remember when i was first watching those trailers, I got so, so SO excited for it. Then, when it came out....i was like....where?

OANST 07-26-2010 02:52 PM

Had you been kidnapped?

Wings of Fire 07-26-2010 03:28 PM

Oh wow, it took me like eleven days to find this topic. I should actually check OD on a weekly basis starting from now.

Nice.

Sekto Springs 07-26-2010 05:24 PM

What is this "Oddworld" of which you speak?

Wings of Fire 07-26-2010 05:33 PM

Heyyyyyyyyyy

This is the new OWF buster, no trolls like you allowed!

I never actually saw trailers and cutscenes for it. In fact I only found this place 2 whole years after MO's release. So when I first played it I was like, YAY more Oddworld! But then I came here, saw what MO was supposed to have been and it made me sad :(.

STM 07-30-2010 03:44 AM

By the time I found this place or actually played Ao, Oddworld had just shut down so it doesn't affect as much but it sucks that MO didn't fully appear how it should have been. Anyway, Oddmobb any day now right? Nearly the end of the month

Phylum 07-30-2010 04:08 AM

The website will be up in the next few hours apparently.

Anty 07-30-2010 04:19 AM

Though let's keep calm everyone. It might not reveal anything new at all! :fuzwink:
