They weren't REALLY serious, were they?! :S
 
"Abe-a-go-go" Advertising:



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

skillya_glowi 05-08-2008 06:50 PM

Chubfish 05-08-2008 08:32 PM

Uh...lol.

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

Oddey 05-09-2008 02:00 AM

... 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...

Wings of Fire 05-09-2008 04:37 AM

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

Matriar 05-09-2008 06:07 AM

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.

Wings of Fire 05-09-2008 06:31 AM

Heathens!

DarkHoodness 05-09-2008 09:47 AM

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

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

DarkHoodness 05-10-2008 04:34 AM



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

Nate 05-10-2008 04:57 AM

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

OddYouko 05-10-2008 06:10 AM

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.

MeechShrykull1029 05-10-2008 07:07 AM

I didn't understand this commercial.

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

MeechShrykull1029 05-10-2008 07:49 AM

I would buy it.

Fuzzle Guy 05-10-2008 03:42 PM

Why doesn't that suprise me?

DarkHoodness 05-10-2008 04:38 PM

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.

Nate 05-10-2008 06:47 PM

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

DarkHoodness 05-10-2008 07:42 PM

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.

Matriar 05-10-2008 07:55 PM

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

Amen to that.

Anonyman! 05-10-2008 08:09 PM

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..?)

Nate 05-10-2008 11:41 PM

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.

Alf Shall Rise 05-14-2008 08:00 PM

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.
