Would Lorne consider the Wii?
 

I think the Wii has a lot of potential for the more casual side of Oddworld games.

Simple platformers, party games, rpg-lites...

What do you think?

I don't like the Wii, but I know there are gazillions of people who do. I dunno what might become of an Oddworld game going through that process. It might work for a FPS, like Fangus Klot style, but Abe doesn't really have that many motions you could perform.

I think you've found the reason why Lorne won't consider releasing a game on the Wii.

I seriously, seriously hope not. I don't want to see any crappy watered down versions of one of my favourite game series on there. Sorry to be so negative, but I think the Wii would ruin Oddworld.

I've never used a Wii, but I think any 2D games (if there ever is any more) should be on the PC, and any 3D games (if there ever is any more) should be in the Playstation. I haven't used an Xbox that much, but I prefer PS controllers. Also, it's simple to run PS games on a PC.

No...just no, have you not learned from the Mario games and how the Wii destroyed them.

was there anything left to destroy?

NO...
Don't we have enough unfinished projects right now, anyway?

I wouldn't say that exactally. Sure Odworld best suted to the Playstaion and PC but having Oddworld on let's say DSiWare or WiiWare wouldn't be bad at all.

I thought about that too. A classed based FPS like TF2 would work.

Maybe if they made a slig chronicle for the FPS, then maybe it might be worth considering buying?

Except if they made a slig chronicle as an FPS, they would probably make it for a console that is worth playing an FPS on.

See how we keep dancing in circles?

I concede to your point sir although it is completely without proof...

I'd buy a Slig FPS for Wii. I'm sorry, but it's impossible for anybody to hate the Wii. It's the best selling console.

If you don't like the party games or the shovelware.

DO NOT BUY THEM!

Do you buy every single crappy Xbox Arcade or PSN game? DIDNT THINK SO!
Now grow up please guys.

PS I'm not angry, just annoyed about the people who don't get the Wii because they are too ignorant to understand. Just play No More Heroes and Madworld and stop whining already.

The wii is inferior (EDIT: In many ways.). It may be fun, but it doesn't hold the same appeal to gamers as other consoles.

Would you like to rethink that?

...

Also, why do you think Munches Oddysee was released on X-box? Because it was more powerful (newer? not entirely sure about how valid that is) than the PS2. Wii would be on the bottom of his priority list, if it was even on there...

i love the wii but i agree it wouldnt work

What he said.

I consider a wii every night before bed, regardless of whether I feel I have to or not.

What the fuck console wars shit in OD?

First Lorne would need to consider releasing something At all. Let alone on the Wii.

Too dang right. I doubt another game will be released, ever; let alone Oddworld, and let... uh... even more alone on the Wii. But, you never know. Wii'll have to wait and see.



Also, anyone notice the connection between 'Wii' and 'PS'?

But oddworld on the wii would be so good. we could move the remote and nunchuk around in small circular motions to chant, and stomp around on the balance board to make elum move, and it would be so much fun so please lorne i know you read the forums some times and we used to email so come on man just do it for the wii ok?

I'd consider the Wii on Lorne, nawm sayn?

I do believe you mean I'd consider Wii(ing) on Lorne nawm, sayn. My good Leto

Namsaiyan?

Ugh. Do you understand what I mean?

Fuck me. I just spent five minutes looking at that map looking for somewhere called Nawm Sayn.

Best selling console? Jesus it must be good then. I've got a Wii myself, and fair enough you can avoid the shoveware but theres hardly many top quality titles to choose from compared to say, the 360. There would be absolutly no piont in making any Oddworld game for the Wii, the motion controls are shite anyway...

A 2D Oddworld game on Wiiware would be an interesting project.
For high quality games, ignore the shovelware and look at games like Mario Galaxy 2 and Madworld.

Unless it's a rail shooter, I'd get the Slig FPS on the pc or xbox/ps3 for the better controls, better graphics and the less frustrating experience.

I may be short sighted here but I can't see the benefits of putting a 2D Oddworld game on the Wii, other than it being the best selling console so they might make more money off it. I hope that OWI never ends up making a decision like that just for the moolah.

For high quality games on the Wii check Dead Space: Extraction.

It may be the best selling console, but you need to consider demographics. A much higher proportion of Wii owners (compared to the other consoles) are little kids and grannies, who wouldn't be interested in a new Oddworld game. Far better to develop for a console with smaller market share but a core ownership of dedicated gamers interested in new and innovative properties.

Realistically, I don't think Lorne would make a full fledged oddworld game for the wii; it's just not a powerful enough system to support his vision.

But the Wii's more capable than the Xbox, right? and there were two full fledged Oddworld games for that.

No.

That is unfortunately True.

Nintento sells Wii, very overpriced cheap hardware.

It's overpriced and cheap in what way?

The PC/mobile has a larger market than Wii, and it's more powerful when you think about the kind of 3D engines capable of running off your internet browser these days.
I don't see any Oddworld games being developed for closed console platforms in the near future. Maybe something for a future "On-Live" service would make more sense.

Yes, but the Xbox is, what, 7 years old now? I think Lorne will go for the other cnosoles; I'd say the ps3 over the 360, as he's had some issues with microsoft in the past.

That didn't answer the question, was comprised of half-truths, and contained copious amounts of wishful thinking. All in all a pretty solid post.

How is the Wii cheap hardware? its one of the most powerfull game consoles going and its worth the money.

plus it annoys me when people say that Wii games has terrible graphics
Take Mario Galaxy for example. that game out classes most Xbox games graphacally.
