As amazing as that would be, no. There may be a chance they'd try in the future, but I doubt it.

He's something to think about while your waiting day after day for it to be released.

When it's finally released, we're all gonna buy it, play it, finish it in lets say a week and then...the waiting will continue once again!

You may wanna find another hobby to hold you over if you haven't already, it's gonna be great when it is released don't get me wrong, but don't get too excited...Did I use too many commas?

You'd be amazed how long ago I found other hobbies... and other excellent games to play by the way. At this state I'm not getting excited about any announced project anymore until we get some actual proof it's going to happen.

Same, They should at least put some infomation about the OddBox in the Steam news. Or maybe release cover art.

You know what's bugged me ever since this news was announced? The use of the word "Oddbox" to refer to the digital distribution of MO and SW. When the Abe games first came to Steam, no one was going "YAY! The Oddworld Pack is available!"

Just throwing that out there.

Probally because we all already had AO and AE. Or because something being availible on Steam isn't really thrilling stuff.

Probably because putting AO and AE on Steam was simply re-releasing the existing games. MO and SW on the other hand are a totally new paradigm; being the Xbox games ported to PC.


Yes, 'paradigm' is my word of the week.

That's not even a paradigm.

Why don't you and WoF go off and have a Paradigm Party and piss all over my parade?

Also, read the first definition http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paradigm

You wish.

I'm not bugged by the level of excitement. I'm bugged by the use of the term "Oddbox" to refer to half of the components of the Oddbox.

ANyone have a link where i can read or see anything about this Oddbox? i lost both my MO and SW cds somewhere so i might have to buy the box lol

Would the Oddbox make history? i can't think of any Xbox only games that have been ported onto another console?

Halo 2 was released on pc about 2 and a half years after the xbox version, does that count?

Balls, it would be.

Fable on PC is a port from Xbox... Jade Empire too
Both on PC are enhanced versions

Then, what Josh said. I have no need to be excited for half of the Oddbox, because I already own two copies each of AE and AO legally.

Hi everyone¡ I'm a new member of this forum and this is my first post. Only say that I've been waiting a long time for the "Oddbox" I've never played to the Oddworld's games in Xbox and with the Oddbox I'll can play them once for all.:D

Yeah i can't wait either i lost my MO and SW so ill b glad to also possibly see a bit of a graphics change.

EDIT::also thanks max for the link xD

I've been watching SW and MO on YouTube just to keep myself amped for the coming games. Yeah, I know AO and AE are part of it, but since they're not new, we don't have to be as concerned.

I still check the Steam store every day to check for the OddBox D:

Latest quote of Lorne about the Oddbox...

It went from end 2009 - begin 2010 to just (somewhere during) 2010

Do we spell it OddBox or Oddbox? Not really important, but we need SOMETHING to talk about.

The Odd Box, if you want to emphasise the TOB joke. OddBox if you want to parody Xbox. Otherwise, OddBox.

I should know this by now but why doesn't Oddworld Inhabitants get the games on Xbox live? Is there a reason or is at Lorne is far too busy? :fuzconf:

Another thing, I know he must have his reasons in continuously missing dead lines but how about instead of announcing what he has planned simply giving us an apology for his constant delays? Yes Lorne, you are a genius but c'mon, thats just rude! :fuzmad:

Good point, it'll be good if MO and SW were released on the PSN too

Because Microsoft don't give a rat's arse, and they kind of have to be on board and helpful with such a thing.

Same could be said also with Sony

Except it can't, because they've been really eager and helpful getting AO and AE onto PSN.

Oh right. I fogot about that

Joke?

The OddBox, TOB or not to be? that is the question, ....if you pronounce it a certain way

Well can't we make them give a ratz arse somehow? It may not sound like much but maybe if we all pull together and get enough people to put in requests for it to be on Xbox live they'll start giving a damn. Didn't OWI agree with Microsoft to release their games on Xbox? Or has that just been forgotten?

Forgotten most likely, especially since MS ditched on Stranger's Wrath. You dont necessarily need MS to give a damn, just some publisher.

Maybe AE and AO will have better resolution? Not only 640. I think that sources are much better quality.

I doubt the resolution of AO and AE on Steam will be changed. After all, they are both already on Steam, and the resolution hasn't changed. Call it a hunch.

Also, they're being ported to Steam more through a process of reverse engineering than going to the original artistic and digital source material for the games.

A campaign to try and convince them to get on board isn't a bad idea, but I think it would take coordination and backing the likes of which OWF just doesn't have right now. And in the past, members have emailed Microsoft requesting that Stranger's Wrath be made backwards compatible for the Xbox 360 and received replies from folks who were enthusiastic about the idea, but sadly it's not the customer service folks' call.

That deal was forgotten when Microsoft backed out of publishing SW, yes. Remember EA were hoping for a PS2 port for a while, and it wasn't Microsoft that stood in the way.

From all I've heard (and seen) of MO, the gameplay isn't too good and the story isn't too well developed. I think the reason we're so excited about it is because it's Oddworld. If it didn't star Abe, I think nobody would've bought it.

My name is nobody

I definately would have still bought it, Oddworld is Oddworld

Max the Mug, what kind of reverse engineering you are talking about? Versions for Steam were made from original sources, aren't they?
