You saw what happened when they were rushed on Munche's Oddysee.
Id rather them take their time and not cut any thing out.

Well it's about god damn time they put something new in this site :D. Although I do wonder when it will get more info. That picture teases me so.....

I don't want them to rush the film, I just want them to get the website up.

What would you prefer they put on there? “Bugger all’s happening, but keep hanging in there guys!” or “We’re contractually obliged to say absolutely nothing”?

The website update will come when there is actual news. :)

Well, I would have preferred that they not drop any hints if they weren't going to follow through. Reminds me of a guy I know...

Are there any interviews and any other fresh evidneces about making the film?

If there were, we'd know, no wouldn't we?
In short, the answer is a big fat hairy NO

Yes, there are. The website is your proof. It says in bold print: 'New Oddworld page coming soon!' And there are little metal Oddworld logos on some film. That's enough to say that they are making an Oddworld movie.

I said ''interviews and any other fresh evidences...''

Still no. Nothing since Kimon asked two days ago.

I wish they'd just update soon. Update the oddworld database, answer some more e-mails, anything aslong as we know they didn't just put up that one new page and wonder off.

Heh, they are still doing stuff, just they can't talk about it just now

It is rather annoying and tantalising knowing there's something going on, and has been for ages, and we have no clue when to expect anything at all.

To me this is exactly what happened with stranger's wrath, once they made Munch as a launch title for the X-Box, they were really quiet for a looong time, and like 4 years later stranger just popped out of no where. I think its a cool way to do things, gets fans all excited and thinking: aww they are like dead...OMG a new game I thought they were all dead yay :D

Very old news.

The OWI main site is making me sad for it teases us way too much. It's been a few months since they updated the page with the Coming Soon and my impatience is getting the best of me!

?

This thread was made in June.

heh what else could they have done?
let the old Oddworld.com page? more members would have left because they think OWI's dead...

they are working on something, and I'm happy with that :)

I would have been happier with the current image but without the words "New Site Coming Soon" as it clearly isn't.

It all depends on what you consider soon to be.

I think we can all agree a quarter of a year isn't soon.




Or can we?

A quarter of a year definitely isn't soon. I waited a month or so, knowing that it would take them some time but i hope they have that site up soon :(

aaaaaaaaaah c'mon give them a break, they are working to please us, just be patient

I agree it's long, but try not to moan to much about it

My view:

Like so many projects, this one has been delayed. It might be at risk of becoming vaporware. So, they put up a site, thinking that the release will be in say, 2 months, so the new site = 1 month. (the timing is probably out, but you get the idea). But then, something goes wrong, and they now have next game in 6 months, and then the site should only be put up when they have a good idea of the game, and an idea of the release date, so they delay it.

Just hush up, quit your whining and wait, all of you. Unless you want to make the movie?...You'd probably say 'yes' to that, but my point is that they are trying, and that they are working hard on this, so leave them alone, stop complaining, and be patient. It's going to happen.

The movie was never going to be released in a month or even six. And it doesn't count as vaporware until a) it's officially announced, b) given an official release date and c) that release date isn't met.

I'm giving an example so don't jump down my throat NDW!!! I don't know ANYTHING about moviemaking but I submitted what I thought was a possible cause and put in some dummy timings to give a better meaning to it. They were never intended to be anything close to the actual timings! so quit flaming me!

I realised you weren't suggesting the timings were plausible. What I was objecting to was your labelling of the movie as vaporware.

Aside from that, might I suggest that you make the text in your sig smaller so it doesn't appear as such a huge block of text?

I don't know how. And yeah, I'm not very familiar with terms like that.

It's quite simple really.

I'll get rid of it anyway. I'm just trying a lot of things - see my new av?

yes we do, now get back on topic please :p

i havnt been on here a while coursework and all that and there is like 11 pages to this post so i wondered does anyone know when the new site will be done?

I have always guess when AO has its tenth anniversity of being out in the public. That would mean that we need to wait another 11 months.

11 months! why did they have that big front page it seems very strange doing it if there is 11 months to wait.

Yeah, that kind of thing works better with a video game. But that's just my prediction.

I suspect that if it were for a clear moment in time, they would have stated that ("Watch out for our 10th anniversary" and suchforth). This is one that will have to go in the "When they're ready for it" pile.

why close the website down for this long thats what bugs me

they didn't close it, you can still find all the old stuff here:

yeh but what i meant is why put the page "new site soon" if there isn't going to be a new site soon?
