They weren't REALLY serious, were they?! :S
 

"Abe-a-go-go" Advertising:



I knew the Japanese were weird, but THIS weird? WTF?

The fuck? O_o

Uh...lol.

That's completely whack.

Offtopic: LOLOL 500 POSTS

I honestly wish I hadn't seen that. Very disturbing.

... I'd hate to see that... That's just creepy... And I doubt it could have anything to do with Oddworld except that Abe is dancing...

Am I the only one here who would buy a game based on advertising like that?

I've seen this once, and I quickly switched to another clip of Youtube after few seconds...

Whoaha. Japenese people can be funny, but sometimes they're too hyper.

I wonder what Lorne Lanning thought about that.

Yep. :)

The japanese just have a different way of doing commercials I guess. o__o; That is kinda scary though.

Heathens!
*Turns on J-pop collection*

Old stuff guys... but yeah this is awfull...
(if someone wants to download it it has been on TOC since ages: http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/cinema/AO01.htm)

Yeah, I know that. Hence the "weren't". :P But it's still weird as hell. . .

You even included that in there? :eek:

Thanks for the link Xavier :p

Is someone cpable providing a cut scene from Abes Oddysee in Japanese language???

A quick search of YouTube gives you this. :P Notice the finger-chop and the artwork change?

Interesting that the Glukkons have clearly distinguishable voices, unlike the mumbling in English.

When the Glukkons all laugh I think you can still hear the English laughes too. And I don't like the artwork for that one...yeah its cute and all but no. :nonono:
But I like the way Abe sounds in Japanese.

...entirely pointless when Abe still have 4 digits in the CG cutscenes...

Not really sure why that wasn't forcibly changed.

I wonder if that Abe suit has been sold yet, maybe it'll turn up on eBay.

I didn't understand this commercial.

Hehehe, this suit is totally awful I'm not sure even Cullen would buy that.

I would buy it.

Why doesn't that suprise me?

lol, ick. . . You'd regret it afterward. :P It looks so terrible you'd wear it and people would think you were dressed as some weird frog or so.

And on the subject of weird videos. . .


Uh. . . I'll just walk away quietly now. Heh.

EDIT: Minimised if it really irks people that much. :S Geeze.

Dark Hood - that's completely irrelevant to the discussion. We're talking about the Japanese versions of the games, not just any wierd video.

Normally I wouldn't, but I gotta say something 'cause what you said is very silly.

I contributed to the discussion and added something extra, 'cause it was also a weird Oddworld-related stumble that I found on YouTube. I started the thread, remember? :P And you whine about that, instead of the fact that someone posted "I'd buy this costume" in a single post and someone else posted "I wouldn't be suprised" in another single post, making your own post that's completely un-related to the discussion. :S

I bet you wouldn't of whined at me if I just made the boring comment about the costume and didn't post the vid. Please don't do things like this, it just takes topics even further off-topic. Also, chill out and don't take things so seriously. It's just a forum where hardly anything happens - People like you ought to be grateful for every single tiny bit of entertainment that gets posted by forumers.

Now THAT weird video is a raping for ears and eyes. So not Oddworld.

Amen to that.

I came. :tard:



I found it very relevant. I mean, abe. At least they got that part.

(Off topic, were there any other Oddworld ads over in the west? Other then the MO one..?)

There are other threads for Oddworld Youtube videos. This one appears to have channeled itself towards discussing the Japanese games, irrespective of your initial intentions.

But, meh, clearly I don't really care that much otherwise you'd have been infracter out the wazoo.

Thanks to that great advertisement, I totally know what that game is about and who you play as and what sort of gameplay it is and interesting actions you can perform within the game. Very helpful, I really wanna buy that game now. Hahahahaha.

You are right, you have no idea how the game is like except it's not in 3D
Are there really people going to buy that game because they saw that commercial?

Does anyone have a translation of the commentary? It might be very informative.

OMG,

I want to go to Japan even more now. :D
You should see the chasers (an Australian satire show) parody on Japanese TV.
I'll try and get a link.

But you've cleary never heard fo the karoke teenage mermaids that sing in order to battle their oponents, the teenage male equivilants can all dance, talk, sing, let alone breathe under water too.

Forgot to mention I have the single of the song used in that video...
You can find it over here:

....

One word can only describe that..
Disturbing.

~^_^~

It may be disturbing but I bet a lot of people bought the game.
