whole info here: http://info.ea.com/news/pr/pr501.htm |
Spring 2005! aoww.. that's such a long, i was thinking Jan. And the game is going to have first person AND third person, that's good.
Great find Xav! |
I'm downloading the zip. Hope it has some goodies.
|
the Hi Ress Screen, and the already seen art...
don't expect too much |
Yes, it was a rip off. I guess I shouldn't expect so much from OWI so soon.
|
heh. I never got the 'live' amo pun before this... :goof: :goof: {ps codek, love the smilies}
|
Whoa! I got on the forums late today! Then my computer went all weird on me, so OWW was updated waaaay late. Oh well.
Anyway, I like the screen. Looks awesome. I especially like the details in the rock formations, sky, and building. I was a little dissapointed in how the characters looked. Abe Babe was telling me they looked almost CG...and I didn't see it. I'm sure the game will look better in motion. I'll shut-up before I'm beaten! :p -oddguy :cool: |

finally, someone says good on MO. |
Spring 2005 is a long time! OWI made it seem like they were almost done. As long as that extra time is put to good use I won't mind too much.

EA Games. They'll have another nice title to add to their library now.
|
Amazing if they'd add George Lucas to that ever-growing "library" of theirs if you catch my drift. Ah, I guess you don't.

2005 is gonna be a friggin awesome year for games. Already there's Stranger and the new Legend of Zelda, and I can't wait to find out what else.
|
Very nice new screenshot, it's about time we had some ingame stuff :D
|
Noticed they always use Oddworld Stranger in the press release? It might be the definitive name after all
|
I thought 2004 was going to great year for game's. Mabey it might no come 2005, mabeg 2006, 2007!!
Remeber the first ever Stranger we heard. If it said spring 2005, what woud be your reaction? |
we heard of it in 2003. 2 years isn't exceptionnally hard to believe, especially as we had no clue as to development progress.
|
it is definately a very long wait until spring 2k5 i mean i thought it would be in february but now........
|
Live with it. The final game is gonna be worth the wait. :)

Great job, Xavier. Ta for keeping OddBlog updated while I've not an Internet connection. Now I need to make sure I can get my name on there before it gets pushed off, but I don't feel like trawling through the dozens of sites reporting the same news along with their own interpretations. |
:
We will have to wait for Abe Babe to confirm if this isn't or it is the Xbox version. |
OWI devlopped it on Xbox, and the PS2 version will be derived from it after...
so it's probably an Xbox screen |

Sorry, Max. I appologize. :( -oddguy |
No need to apologise to me, oddguy. :)
It's that angry mob out there you need to worry about. I personally wouldn't bother worrying about what platform the screenshot is taken from. It's a very nice image, though I agree there are areas that need improvement. The sky does look flat, or maybe it's just up against those gorgeous rock formations. I doubt that's the most polished the game is going to get. :p Relax, we have months to wait. |
Yeah I'm glad it's delayed give the game even more polish and more time to change things or add to it.
It's defiently not the final product, becuase the guy who is carrying the gun on the left looks like it has no bumpmapping or textures in it. Same with Stranger's straps on his arm. Like it is apart of its arm. I have faith in Oddworld, they will defiently make the game look better, well more detail on the characters becuase the backgrounds look drop dead gorgeous. |
Great, it had to happen while I was away! I've been checking back at the EA Info page everyday! Anyway, concerning the screenshot. I must say, I was drawn to its overall unpolished-ness. Sharp, and pixelated edges, with flat backgrounds aren't exactly the CG quality I was expecting.
But, they do have just under half a year to polish everything, and no doubt they'll polish it. Can't wait :) Alcar... |
Well, that screenshot doesn't really do justice to what I saw. So don't go judging everything on that one screenshot. I was personally dissapointed in the screenshot, but that is going on what I think. And also, don't judge everything from my comments, you have to make your own decisions and such. :)
As for the release ... so long to wait. Egggh ... can't wait that long! It will almost be time for another E3 by then. But I don't know if I'll be going to E3 next year yet, it's so far in the future. But with the impressions that some have got by reading the AIA features ... remember that game production takes in many stages. So just because you might be given the impression that one part of the game is complete, that doesn't mean that other parts are. And also during testing stages, things might be changed and fixed, so even if a game is playable, then it doesn't mean that it is complete. Oh how I'd like to try and apply to work for EA now [to fulfil my current ambition of working in the gaming industry]. But EA Australia is based in Queensland, and with me being in Victoria it would mean I'd have to move. *sigh* Abe Babe... |
hmmm, so what you saw looked better Abe Babe?
wonder why the decided to show us this then :fuzconf: |
She's probaly saying in a way to confused us, becuase she might not be allowed to tell us what exacty she's want's to tell. She's probaly forced to tell us in a way that she is allowed.

and I know someone at OWI loves poker...
but I don't think it a smart move... perhaps in the future when we will see other screens we will be more able to judge with more justice |
Of course Lorne isn't going to show us the juicy stuff he hasn't so far he won't now. That screenshot was probabaly out of early production. So its all good. Though for me I am not going to spoil Stranger for myself at all. I want to be completely surprised when this game comes. I vow to myself to this time forth to release I will not look at anymore screenshots of Stranger. I saw what I saw before and that was enough to impress me so cheers to Oddworld Stranger the forth and probabaly the best of the Oddworld games.

It's good to know Oddworld are taking their time with the game. It's restored more faith in me, concerning them, in that they aren't going to release it during the Christmas selling bonanza. Obviously, Oddworld Inhabitants have learnt from Munch's Oddysee, and are going to make Stranger a hit. As it should be.
Though, about the screenshot. It does seem weird that Oddworld Inhabitants would give EA screenshots of anything sub-par to what the actual game is. However, most games while in development look absolutely awful in the anti-aliasing department (all pixelated in other words), so perhaps what was shown was from the short demo OWI had to produce for EA. Either way, I doubt OWI will leave such a big thing like smoothness out of the Gold version. Alcar... |
A suprise is'nt always a good thing, you can have bad suprise's as well. And hopelfully there talking there time well,not taking a long time becuase something gone wrong. We also heard that there doing great, so that isnt a problem :) :)
I saw a pic of Lorne Laning working and all. I notice he has very long or thin finger's, not like Homer Simpson, more like E.T. Witch is good, that's means if you have long thin fingers, your artistic! :p |
:
I have long nails what does that mean? also I can't wait to see another shot of the upcoming game! I'm not afraid the game could be spoiled for me, I always want to see more! |
I always get games spoilt for me anyway so i'm used to it.
Can we see more? |
