'Mystery Oddworld App'
 

So checking Facebook, Oddworld seem to have an iphone app for 'Hardcore Oddworld Fans'. The app remains a mystery as the guys wont say what the app is. What do you think it could be? Personally i think it will be a Gamespeak type App...

There were screenshots of an gamespeak app a looong long time ago, so if it's it, it's an old news

'he Oddworld Portal app will be out Friday 12 October worldwide and gives access to everything Odddworld.com, in handy app form! Catch up on Oddworld news, downloads, Twitter feed, developer diaries, Dear Alf and more.'

Mystery solved. As you were, gentlemen.

there's also a photo:

Why do they hate Android?

Because it's not iOS.

But it's better in some cases.

Good point. Android is better on some cases. :tard:

They don't. Someone actually asked at the Q&A about a Android version and they are releasing it, Just give them a chance :)

Ah, that's good to know.

Is it only this? If so, what's the point? Can't the IPhone access oddworld.com via a browser?

So, is it out yet? Did someone try it out? Is there anything more?

Could this post contain more short questions?

Yes. No point. Yes. No. No. No. Yes.

It's a better, simple to use layout. I hate browsing the web on my iPod Touch cause I find it awkward.

what about a windows phone version????? :fuzsad:

Well that's disappointing. I thought it would be a game or something. There's not that much interesting on Oddworld.com, so why would anyone want to download an app for it?

Because OWI and JAW cares about us. It's obvious.

:lol:

Blackberry app, anyone?

No? No!?

i'm not that stupid

Careful running something like that, it might overheat your Blackberry.

Couldn't their website just have a mobile version?

Seconding this. Why must you leave us out in the coooold

Because you choose a bad operating system.

Yeah, grandly releasing an app for something useless is something EA would do. You don't want to be like EA, do you Lorne?

Think like your enemy

Number of people who know how to make an iOS app pull data from a website > number of people who know how to make a mobile-suitable website.

First day DLC it is. You can also pre-order New 'n' Tasty to get exclusive Abe moves that give you a significant advantage in the game. And for 5 bucks a piece you can unlock the cutscenes so you don't have to play the game at all! :D

For an additional ten dollars we will disable anything related to the game on your web browser so that you never even have to know it exists.

As if you know what makes a good operating system.

Man, all it takes is a good understanding of CSS and time. Check out Foundation, it does the heavy lifting for you.

OK, well, it isn't bad, but it just doesn't allow as much customisation as Android or even iOS. That doesn't define an OS, I know, but that's not all.

I guess I just prefer Android because I'm used to it.

I’d say it is roughly on par with iOS customization. Yeah Android has more you can alter but that doesn’t always result in the best experience.

You're right, plus I haven't had a enough experience with Windows phone OS to properly judge it.

This isn't a thread for mobile OS discussion.

So all it is is a browser that only browses the OWI/JAW site?

Man, what a gyp. Better be free.

Does it give a notification when new content appears? Because that might just make it worth it.

I think I read somewhere saying it'll send a push notification when new content appears. But can't remember where I read that.
(There's been no new content since to test this)

Also...

Abe says hello when the app opens!!

Yes it's free.

I have opened that app so many times just to hear abe haha :')

It doesn't mean it won't ever be released on Android.

That makes sense, after all, Android is a better OS.

Here we go again...


ANYWAY, the app is not something spectacular, yet. I'll wait for AppSpeak and see what's new.
