Stranger's wrath new ad
 
I found it in the last issue of the Official Xbox Magazine.

Xavier 11-30-2004 08:48 AM

whoaaaaaw!
looks awesome, you earned yourself a mention on oddblog!!!
:p

Wil 11-30-2004 09:13 AM

Yep, well done REGNARTS. I've updated OddBlog, and uploaded a larger scan onto OddBlog. In the meantime, I'll move the topic to General Discussion: this is something EA want everyone to see. ;)

Woobles, I updated OddBlog for the first time in yonks.

Software Bug 11-30-2004 09:42 AM

hi guys,
using my dads labtop...


wohooo great!
it looks like an boxart or something:p
i bet it is the american issue of OXM:(

Oddish 11-30-2004 09:50 AM

That is great picture and ad! Looks interesing, the're is a slimial image somewhere.

Odd Trusting 11-30-2004 09:50 AM

Love how it says "you've got no past...and from the look of things not much future

Software Bug 11-30-2004 09:54 AM

Alcar, - EDIT : I MEAN MAX,

i wanted to look on oddblog but didnt remembered the site and i noticed :

the link in youre banner is leading to the old one...
is it for old archieves or just a mistake?

also the link on oddblog isnt working...

-Tim

Oddish 11-30-2004 10:05 AM

Alcar? I think you mean Maxavier .

It's www.oddblog.net now, and the the bigger version of the ad ain't showing.

Odd Trusting 11-30-2004 10:09 AM

In Odd's time it will come

Software Bug 11-30-2004 10:13 AM

oops sorry Max ,
i always get confused:fuzconf:

i dont know why...

Wil 11-30-2004 10:20 AM

Ah sheesh, you are right: the link in my signature does still lead to the old URL. I remember I had changed it, though, so what more than likely happened is that I exceeded the maxinum number of characters in my sig, and it wouldn't change. Many thanks for pointing it out, though, I'll see if it'll alter now. ;)

In the ad, notice that the armoured character doesn't seem to be one of the four species/breeds represented on the GDC Outlaw cards, but a fifth type, like the one Esus posted in another topic.

Oddish 11-30-2004 10:41 AM

Breed eh? this could be interesing, and confonfusing. I thought about diffrent breeds on oddworld, it could acually be true. Remember OWI said there will be more Outlaw cards coming soon.

One of those images seem to be snowie.

Xavier 11-30-2004 10:48 AM

I wonder why the link doesn't work...
this ad makes me think of the "forbidden pic".

OWI only said they might do some, the didn't say they would do it for sure

Esus 11-30-2004 10:53 AM

Indeed; he has the same hooves, a hunched back, same shaped horns on his head and eyes in the same place.
By the way, you mistyped the url for the link to the ad on oddblog. it should be 'stranger' not 'strang' in the file path.

oddguy 11-30-2004 10:55 AM

Me too. Does that mean the "forbidden pic" is still...forbidden?

-oddguy

Xavier 11-30-2004 11:01 AM

Esus is right, here is the working link
http://www.oddblog.net/images/strangeroxmad.jpg

Oddguy I think the forbidden pic is still forbidden, yeah

Wil 11-30-2004 11:03 AM

You're right, Esus. I spotted it a second ago thanks to oddguy; I'm correcting it right now, should Blogger ever choose to respond. In the meantime, you can see the larger scan here.

The forbidden pic... I guess it doesn't matter, as we have a picture of superior quality now which has been posted in the public domain. I suggest not posting the ‘original‘ just in case.

oddguy 11-30-2004 11:03 AM

Awesome ad...except the hick-talk is a little over the top.

-oddguy

Xavier 11-30-2004 11:11 AM

the hick talk is a bit annoying, but I think it doesn't realy matter, OWI is just having some fun :p

I simply hope it won't be massivly used in the advertising campaign

Wil 11-30-2004 11:11 AM

Blogger has actually died on me, lol. If anyone asks you about the broken link, I'm sure you can direct them to the right place until Google fix up their service (apparently Blogger's been failing quite a bit recently). I'll try again later.

Oh yeah, and you'll probably notice OddBlog…s missing its background and the URL all look horrible and underlined. This is what happens when you fiddle about with CSS and stylesheets with little time to correct your mistakes. It doesn't affect our news-reporting, though, so stay tuned. ;)

Software Bug 11-30-2004 11:14 AM

i will stay tuned!
now i remember the page i will look every day:p
and i wont loose it bechause it is in my "FAVORITES"!!!!
woooohooo!!
isnt that beatyfull??
Youre and Xaviers site in MY favorites:p

Xavier 11-30-2004 12:02 PM

the link is fixed on Oddblog now...
no more problems on this side :p

Oddish 11-30-2004 12:12 PM

Thanks guys for inlargen the picture. The slegs looks awsome, the're probaly the best looking creautes out of the whole game, and defently better than we last saw on the X-factor.Oh and Wolvarks/

Why is the forbidden pic is still forbidden? It's the same, almost.

Nate 11-30-2004 12:35 PM

I'm confused. Are you saying that the forbidden pic is similar to the one in the ad or similar to something else entirely?

Oddish 11-30-2004 12:36 PM

The one in the ad.

Scrab Watcher 11-30-2004 12:56 PM

Um, what forbiddin pic? Uh? :fuzconf:

buckminster 11-30-2004 04:34 PM

Sorry if this was mentioned somewhere else already (I try to avoid the spoilers forum), but is that supposed to be a different breed of slog with horns and a hoop through its back (presumably for a leash?) in the front?

Also, the art department cheated a bit by having some of the clusters of enemies repeat themselves in the front line :D

Nepharski 11-30-2004 04:44 PM

I found it in the last issue of the Official Xbox Magazine.

I commend you! You have preformed a most excellent service on behalf of the Oddworld Forum community.

Cheers, eh?

Hmm...on closer inspection, D. Caste Raider appears to have obtained two clones of himself...

You can't expect them to draw 1000 original characters.

I mean who (obsessives like ourselves excluded) is going to look that close at an advert?

Man,
We are fans!
Fans look everywere where odd is:p

Alcar 11-30-2004 09:46 PM

I must commend EA for doing something about the dismal effort they've had recently in relation to promoting Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. Not only that, but this advertisement looks bloody stuning! The colours, the way everything blends, etc, etc, etc, t'is brilliant! I didn't even mind the hick talk, I was too busy looking at the purdy pictures.

:

Um, what forbiddin pic? Uh?

There was an image released with the first announcement of The Art of Oddworld over at the CG Talk forums. It was quickly taken down as Oddworld Inhabitants had not authorised that image to be released to the public at that point in time. This image shares strikingly similar features to the new 'ad'.

:

There are more than three, and there are even more D. Caste Raider's than what oddguy has highlighted in his image.

Alcar...

Alcar...

Darn! I didn't see those other ones. :lol:

http://www.geocities.com/voteforoddguy/oxmad.jpg

Most likely there's more, but I only see seven D. Caste Raider's as of now.

:::::::::::::

And I agree with Alcar on the ad...Stunning. I'm hoping to pick up that copy of OXM just to see it myself. :p

I'm so happy I'm an Oddworld fan. Every time such a wonderfull picture or movie is released, I'm drooling over my keyboard. (Makes it a little sticky and dirty but that's a problem I gladly take)

Software Bug 12-01-2004 04:51 AM

i want to have the xbm out of America!!
in NL there are only the NL and UK ones,
or is it the one in the halo box??

Xavier 12-01-2004 08:13 AM

they did the same for some MO adver, you could see 2 Abes in there...
I wonder how big it is in the mag

Software Bug 12-01-2004 08:18 AM

it looks like full 2 pages and those pages are bigger then an A4 i know....
The XBM has the largest pages avaible for magazines...

Xavier 12-01-2004 08:37 AM

you mean this is the scan of a dubble page? :eek:
this is too good quality to be dubble page, I mean you can't see the page change

Software Bug 12-01-2004 10:02 AM

if you look in the middle you can see it,
try finding the dark strip in the middle i belive that is the page change.
otherwise this is the original picture...


and right under it says :
Git on over ta eagames.com. Yer hunt begins January 26th

ps : sorry if this was already noticed or known:)
