Oddworld Stranger Demo
 
Did anybody buy the playable Oddworld Stranger Demo, it came free with one of the PS2 Magazines, if so, can anyone tell me what it's like?

Smell 11-14-2004 04:43 AM

Oh, do you know which mag it was? I would like to try it.

Fuzzle Guy 11-14-2004 04:44 AM

It was on the official PS2 magazine

Smell 11-14-2004 04:45 AM

great, I shall have a lookie.

Fuzzle Guy 11-14-2004 05:09 AM

You have a look, tell me if you play it

Smell 11-14-2004 05:19 AM

I'll try to buy it.

Oddish 11-14-2004 07:06 AM

I've seen this Thread before. Also, how can it be playble on the PS2,when Strangers Wrath is not on the PS2. The're must be a proof.

Fuzzle Guy 11-14-2004 07:16 AM

That's why I get confused, I wonder if it was from when it was going to be on PS2?

Wil 11-14-2004 07:16 AM

I'd love to post this news on OddBlog, but Oddish brings up a valid point. Development of the PS2 version was scrapped early on, so how a demo could be out is unbelievable.

Fuzzle Guy 11-14-2004 07:28 AM

I'll ask Alf

Xavier 11-14-2004 10:56 AM

I'd realy like to know where you saw that, sound unbelivable to me, and quite stupid...
why release a demo of a game that is cancelled?

Oddish 11-14-2004 11:00 AM

I think it's just a mistake. We might see AA pop-up to tell us whats going on.

Alcar 11-14-2004 09:05 PM

I instantly thought upon seeing this thread that it would be in some Xbox magazine, or general gaming magazine. But once I saw that you were saying it was in a PS2 magazine, it had to be false :p

However, it would be awesome to see a demo of the game soon. Considering the game is set for release in January, something similar should appear soon.

It's in a manx (Isle of Man Culture) shop we have over here called 'Shopright, I didn't hear it, I saw it! It's also in Safeways/Morrisons

Cloverfield 11-15-2004 04:27 AM

I don't know ... sounds kind of weird to port Stranger over to a demo. And if they did port it over to a PS2 demo ... they would have released an Xbox demo as well. Also, usually the official US magazines get the demos first, and Europe doesn't get it until later.

Running a quick search through Google doesn't bring up anything either. And there would be a mention of it if it was out already.

I'm guessing it's probably just a trailer ... demo discs usually have trailers along with playable demos.

Other than that ... if you can post a pic of the magazine cover as proof, then we might have something more concrete to go on [unless Alf clears it up for us first].

Abe Babe...

Fuzzle Guy 11-15-2004 08:21 AM

I have already told you (Or at least I think I have, unles tis was on Oddworld Junkie) that I don't have it! I know someone that has it, but they are all playable demo's, Stranger ebing one of them!

Oddish 11-15-2004 11:59 AM

If you know someone who has the mag, why don't you just kidnap it and scan it for us.

MojoMan220 11-15-2004 12:16 PM

There is no Stranger demo for the PS2.

source: Common sense (duh!)

Nate 11-15-2004 12:28 PM

Jeez MojoMan, we know its unlikely - try reading the whole thread, its been said many times. We're just trying to make sense of a strange situation as Fuzzle Guy seems like a reliable source of information.

I'm sorry, but if he actually thinks there is a PS2 demo of Stranger, he cannot be that reliable. I don't mean to offend anybody, but it is common knowledge that the PS2 version of the game has not even been started and never will be. Fuzzle Guy's friend is either confused or lying about its existence. I do not blame Fuzzle Guy for the misinformation.

Alf 11-15-2004 02:43 PM

Hey ladies and gents, I think AbeBabe is probably right. We don't have any playable demos out yet, for any console, just CG clips and that sort of thing. If you are looking for these, try the Gamestar: November, OXM: Dec and keep an eye out for EGM.... and hopefully even more to come as we are getting closer to launch!!!! Soooo exciting!!!!

Fuzzle Guy 11-15-2004 11:09 PM

Thankyou Very much Alf

Xavier 11-16-2004 08:14 AM

thank you for the head up Alf...
well I guess we can start hunt those mags :p

Scrab Watcher 11-16-2004 10:07 AM

Dang...I was gonna report that...anyway, OXM has 'The Good The Band and The Odd' trailer on disc

Rincewynd 11-25-2004 09:09 AM

is SW coming out for the x-box or the ps2. It would be helpful to know :)

Incognito 11-25-2004 09:24 AM

It's exclusive to the xbox. The PS2 version was cancelled some time ago.

Oddish 11-25-2004 09:57 AM

Hah, of course theirs' no palyble demo, I had no idea where you got that from.
Rincewynd you'ved confused me with Alcar for a sec.

Rincewynd 11-25-2004 12:07 PM

Oddish i dont understand what you are saying....Also Ingocnito why was the ps2 version of SW cancelled

Xavier 11-25-2004 12:15 PM

because EA found out it was impossible to succesfully convert the game for the playstation 2 platform... so they cancelled it

Oddish 11-25-2004 12:17 PM
