Munch's Exoddus
 
I know ME the game was canceled however I am wondering if that is really true. Could it just be delayed as a future title now that OWI is back? Or is it the next new title that we keep hearing as the secret Oddworld project?

I want to see Munch's journey to Ma-Spa, I also want to see Sam, Gluk Queen, Slig Queen, all the stuff that was taken out of MO and put right back into ME but of coarse to better suit the Munch's Exoddus story. There was so much stuff missing that it made a hole the size of the Grand Canyon. Its a shame really but I have hopes we will see this. What do you think?

Nate 11-07-2010 03:42 AM

I think that you probably shouldn't get your hopes up.


STM 11-07-2010 04:00 AM

I'm hoping that the new game is a simple platformer no strings attached. ME seems like it would need a heavy amount of funding and that means investors and debts. At least a platformer isn't as hard and time consuming to make compared to a 3d first person game

lismati 11-07-2010 04:57 AM

You all know my opinion on that game. Anyway I don't think it will be the "Odd What" on homepage.

Crashpunk 11-07-2010 10:57 AM

Its very unclear what is the next Oddworld game. but i recon after they make one just to declare Oddworld 'Not dead anymore' they will start on the Quintilogy again.

ziggy 11-07-2010 11:12 AM

Who knows if they even still want to follow through with the quintology? That could have been a joke since it's just the strangest sounding word for a series they could find/make up. Who's to say what is and what isn't part of the "main story'. You all have this Quintology thing melded into your brain.

My honest oppinion:

We will never see the Munch's Exoddus game

there you go.

Well, it might not be called Munch's Exoddus percé, but counting ME as a bonus game in general, sure they did?

I quote out of the AE gamemanual (as you probably know too):
:

Each part of the Quintology will have ONE or MORE bonus games.
note: capitals are my doing

Pretty much sounds like a promise to me :p

STM 11-09-2010 09:39 AM

This was back in 98/99, you know that people can't predict the future of their businesses right? By the time MO actually came out that's when the trouble began

Stranger4002 11-09-2010 11:47 AM

I think even if the remake of SW goes well; they still won't make ME...

...however, I do think they would still make a sequel to MO. But this only if business goes well and to be fair; at the moment, their business ain't looking too grand.

I just don't think it will be titled "Munch's Exoddus"; because to be honest, I think its a a bit naive thinking each Oddysee in the Quintology will be followed by an Exoddus.

Wil 11-09-2010 11:55 AM

Lorne Lanning and Paul O'Connor have talked about Munch's Exoddus using exactly that name. They were going to make it. However, they never announced that they were going to deliver it specifically.

MadmanMad 11-10-2010 03:57 PM

As long as they make a game where you can play as abe again, i'll be cool with it.

enchilado 11-10-2010 05:49 PM

Yeah, Abe was such a great character, they should totally keep using him until he becomes a tiresome cliché, like game companies always do with their popular characters.

ziggy 11-10-2010 06:38 PM

I hated that Abe was the sidekick to Munch that ended up doing more than the main character. But he is like THE mascot for Oddworld, so he needs to appear again, just as long as he doesn't get too "Cool" and overused like you said Enchilado. Sometimes if a series runs on for too long, it's as if the protagonist is too cocky and not interesting anymore. I also do not want a Return of Mullock. I just couldn't take it seriously.

The Master 11-10-2010 07:01 PM

I agree with you in some parts ziggy, somethings don't make sense when certain characters are supposed to be deceased and come back somehow.

Munch's Oddysee was a good game, I definately want to see a sequel. But some additions made the game horrible, like how interns became the "main guards" and not the classic sligs.

Though I want the third installment of Abe's chronicles. He's such a classic character, it's so hard to get...well..Tired of him! He was like, the main seed that grew oddworld.

I want Abe's (Insert Name Here) to have more serious cutscenes, and rhyming as it did in oddysee. Munch's Oddysee had HD cutscenes, but not the serious dark and grim feeling.

Molluck was never declared dead. He was merely reported missing.

Phylum 11-10-2010 09:45 PM

EDIT: Misunderstood. Sorry.

He's not really missing. Abe's twitter "Hello, I've not forgotten ya, just mullock the glukkon makes me work so hard! :( 10:38:16 PM October 28, 2010 from Twitter for iPhone".

Phylum 11-11-2010 12:25 AM

His tweets are as cannon as Alf's Q&A responces.

Nate 11-11-2010 12:46 AM

His tweets are a little confused as to whether they're set pre-escape or post.

GlukkonGluk 11-11-2010 05:51 AM

Perhaps, with the release of the Oddboxx, we could expect more interest in Oddworld. And since two of them are Quintology games, we should expect interest in the Quintology and what's going to happen there. So, I feel that if Oddworld becomes a success and they continue making games, the Quintology may not be such an unlikely route to go down. So we may see ME, perhaps. I'm just happy they're back, let's be honest :D

bigface1 11-11-2010 10:06 AM

I think oddoworld got a big suprise on how big there games became (money wise) and they thought Great! we got some money lets stop! then they have realised how much we have missed them and they are making a comeback.. thats in my opinion but who knows?

STM 11-11-2010 10:24 AM

I don't think that was the situation nor Lorne and Sherry's idea, I hope they're not like that but I presume they are not.

As I voiced previously I would like to see another platformer, not neccesarily with Abe, I think the quintology stated that Abe would make one more tragic appearance in the last game. They do need to add new characters, seeing Squeek would be interesting, maybe then they should make a fp addon too MO

Wil 11-11-2010 10:25 AM

I can guarantee you they didn't think "Our games are more successful than we thought they'd be, we'd better stop making them."

Phylum 11-11-2010 11:37 PM

Maybe they're afraid of money.
