Oddworld Site Not Here Yet
 
I went on the Oddworld website and there is a new screen saying there will be a new Oddworld site soon, check it out at www.oddworld.com, Oddworld will be finally updated ^-^

Slig outlaw 06-11-2006 10:47 PM

Yes finally and I can't wait until this new site comes well I'm sure all of us can't.

Alcar 06-11-2006 10:51 PM

Finally! This is great news :)

From the image of the filmstrip, I think it's obvious that the new website will be focusing on the upcoming movie.

Alcar...

To such news, I can only say one thing...
THERE IS AN ODD!
Whoohoo!

Spirrow 06-11-2006 11:36 PM

(Annoyed) About time.

Mudoko_Jedi 06-11-2006 11:59 PM

Xavier 06-12-2006 12:32 AM

Dusan 06-12-2006 12:49 AM

Slig outlaw 06-12-2006 12:52 AM

Yep it will be.

the guys who helped to make that article said they assumed, we can assume too, but in fact there's no official word

Slig outlaw 06-12-2006 01:34 AM

Oh sorry then.

Dusan 06-12-2006 01:42 AM

Did they finished or started making that 'wonder'

Bullet Magnet 06-12-2006 01:43 AM

Praise the Odd! We have news! Shiny!

*does cringingly embarrassing dance*

My guess is that they are working on it.



EDIT keep the conversation on topic guys, non topic posts will be deleted
(had to do this cause a member posted some "advertising" to "his" topic)

carry on with the happyness

Slig outlaw 06-12-2006 01:46 AM

If the site is not coming this month I still hope it comes
in the summer time.

Bullet Magnet 06-12-2006 01:49 AM

It hasn't been long since Stranger came out. Unless they were working on it since long before or Lorne somehow conjured up a massive CG team (like ten times that of Pixar) then we still have at least a couple of years to wait.

Still, I've been wrong before. I'd much rather be happy than right anyday.

OMG!!!! Yes!!! Finally, OWI lives again! Can't wait for the new site to be opened. I'll check every day to see if it's open.

mudling 06-12-2006 02:35 AM

strange, the site won't come up for me, maybe it's been developed now..
but anyways..YES!:D FINALLY!:D i'm so happy, oddworld has been one of my most favourite things in the gaming world, and when I left the forrum, I was constantly lurking untill I had more free time. :) which I seem to now, lol.

Nate 06-12-2006 03:01 AM

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

That was my first thought also but once I cogitated for a few moments I realised they haven't been using that one since before Munch.

:lol:

I agree. Yee-ha! :D

dripik 06-12-2006 03:37 AM

Good to hear that something new will happen on the site. And it's the next OWI project!

I read in a computer magazine earlier that they are working on the film, and the next games might come after the movie, but they are not sure if OWI will be making it or not.

Matriar 06-12-2006 03:42 AM

Next games? I thought they stop to build more games. :fuzblink:

dripik 06-12-2006 03:45 AM

Well yeah, that was the point of what I read. If there will be more OW games, it's not likely that OWI will make them. They are going into the movie business, I guess.

Ninjaxe 06-12-2006 05:27 AM

I am excited...at least we know they are still alive. At least this is good as none. Its been so long!!!!

Bullet Magnet 06-12-2006 05:45 AM

Wait- how can there be Oddworld games not made by OWI? That's barbaric! That's blasphemous!

If the film is of AO, then the story might have to be changed a bit. Have you ever seen a film where the lead character is alone for most of it? Unless they speed through the Shrykull trials pretty quickly, but they can't do that!

Ninjaxe 06-12-2006 05:56 AM

Well for this, I think the film will have to flow through. In being a movie of AO. They have to create something we haven't seen before. Thinking this is going to be CGI, it more likely they reuse the old footage from the game. Just brighten it up about. Make it more real.

Its the gameplay bit that worries me. Going through mines and rupture farms. How much more talking can Abe say to mudokons: "Than follow me", "let you guys outta here" I cannot think anything else they could add to make more depth into story.

Oh remember shortest movie last for 99mins. What are you views on this? Either agree or disagree? Really think Lorne can pull this off and attract new fans?

used:) 06-12-2006 06:26 AM

Sweetness. I concur with Alcar, judging by the film strip, I think it's safe to assume that they're working on a film. :p

Thankyou Jordan Boi for informing the forums.

Glukinator 06-12-2006 06:31 AM

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great! Oddworld still lives! Yes! Yes! Yes! *Bumps head on the ceiling, falls down, and passes out*

Jordan 06-12-2006 06:47 AM

YAY I DID SOMETHING GOOD!! I found out this morning, I was going on the web and seeing as the Oddworld Site is my homepage, I just saw it and couldn't BELIEVE my eyes! Oh thank you Lorne!!!

Cyber-Slig 06-12-2006 06:54 AM

About bloody time! I'll just hope this is more dark and less cartoony like the new games are.

Nath 06-12-2006 07:05 AM

If i say anything, I'll just be paraphrasing things that have already been said. But i'll do it anyway.

It's been so long since we've heard anything from oddworld, but none of us gave up hope. The whole company seems very secretive about everything they do, which i think can be a good thing. But now we know something solid is Coming Soon, we can be sure it's gonna be awsome.

Matriar 06-12-2006 07:17 AM

Yeah.

Glukinator 06-12-2006 07:46 AM

*Gets off the floor after passing out* I just can't wait. This is great, an Oddworld movie and a new website! I have an overload of happyness! :p Thank you Jordan_Boi!!!!

Hey, it needs a bit of humour, thats part of what I loved about the games. Well, the ones that I've played...
A thought, it would be wicked if they made different versions of the movies so that they have seperate endings, like the games did. That would rock. They'd come in a bundle on DVD, though.
Now all I have to say is...my prayers to banana phone payed off*slapped*
The movie almost HAS to be about Oddworld, the whole company is about Oddworld, its in the name. It would make no sense if they made something unrelated.
The games were unique, we need more. And without stupid forced release dates so that they have a chance to release multiplatforms at least. oh, and hopefully they told X-box and their 'only with us for next two or whatever games' to f*ck off. Always some xcuse with Microsoft isn't there? Money, money, money...
The real world sucks, anyway.
Plus, I thought the infants logo was only mainly for the book because it had a larger logo on front. Also for pages inside the book were more logo edits.
EDIT: On close inspection, the new logo has a little light above it, maybe representing something, plus it looks a bit like an egg. A new start?I hope its related more to the movie or whatever rather than a new franchise, 'cause I'd love more games.
Also, I hope after X-box's 'only with us' contract can be bent when its expired to make multiplatform versions of MO and SW. Stupid microsoft and their cheap X-box 360 too. Those graphics are c*ap in comparison to PS3 etc. They just look shinyer.

Jordan 06-12-2006 08:05 AM

Lol everyone is thanking me, I thought you would have all known!! This thread was made this morning around 8:30am and it is now 5.00pm to me and there are 2 pages to the thread!! LOL
