Is it me or does oddworld.com look different today?

seems so,those black squares are really "fun" to stare at XD

AvengingGibbons 12-02-2011 05:45 AM

It's not already been a year since they redesigned the Oddworld.com website, has it? What the fuck am I doing with my life?! D:

STM 12-02-2011 06:09 AM

Oooh, that's much better!

Jordan 12-02-2011 06:18 AM

Now that is one nice looking website!

EDIT: Is it me or did they update the wallpapers? They look so crisp and shiny...

AvengingGibbons 12-02-2011 06:25 AM

I think the wallpapers are new, but even though they appear to have iPad formatted versions, they aren't really formatted nicely for iPad, you miss some of the picture, it's a shame :/

Nath 12-02-2011 06:58 AM

Gilray mentioned a new site a last week on Twitter. Better than the last one, but it'll never have the same feeling as the original.

Dynamithix 12-02-2011 07:02 AM

It's awesome now!

LIJI 12-02-2011 07:19 AM

Why no one ever considers my 2560 pixels wide resolution :(

Edit: Can't wait for Abe HD after seeing this.

Connell 12-02-2011 10:13 AM

Why is the thumbnail for Abe's Oddysee on the homepage promotional art from Exoddus?

Because they fucked up, that's why. Dripik has nothing to do in AO.

Very swanky new site design, it seems a tad closer to the old one than the other one was. But I agree with the nostalgia-induced sentiment of the old one was awesome, even if Firefox hated the awesome encyclopedia pages.

I actually decided to change my laptop's wallpaper after seeing the downloads section. =D

Mudokon_Master 12-02-2011 01:25 PM

It's wonderful :')
Very slick.

MeechMunchie 12-02-2011 02:09 PM

I'd just like to say that this wallpaper gives conclusive (well, not as conclusive as it being mentioned in the official art book) evidence for the presence of Farzad Varhramyramyramyramyman's caricature on the Brewmaster's watch face.

Even you should be able to see it now, Bespectacled Professor Nate.

Michael 12-02-2011 02:58 PM

The new site is great! Much more suited for purpose than the last one, with the more modern design, fonts and whatnot :D This new look definitely reminds me of the art book layout and colour scheme.

Shame the encyclopaedia pages from the old old site have yet to return, but I guess they could still always appear someday.

Is it by the 12 on the watch?

Heyyy, I never noticed that before :D...

Jenny, it is INPLACE of the 12

STM 12-02-2011 05:00 PM

It's hard to see but it's there.

Kinto 12-02-2011 07:56 PM

http://www.oddworld.com/wp-content/t...abe-3-1080.jpg Is it me, or does Dripik have the Sekto symbol on one of his badges?

moxco 12-02-2011 08:42 PM

I think that's the octigi symbol. He's also got Farzad's face on the top far-right badge. And is that a mudokon happy-face second from the left, on the bottom?

Sekto Springs 12-02-2011 10:37 PM

It's the symbol for the Magog Cartel. You can see it lots of things if you look.

JennyGenesis 12-03-2011 02:09 AM

I'd like to know what each of those badges are awarded for.

Xavier 12-03-2011 02:40 AM

Every time profit goes up a medal is awarded.

Crashpunk 12-03-2011 03:24 AM

I'm loving the new site. The new HD Wallpapers are great and the whole layout is so simple.

They could put this forum as part of the community couldn't they? Its the most official fourm anyway.

Varrok 12-03-2011 06:00 AM

Oh, they put Guardian Angel FMV as AO Promo trailer :P Cool

Havoc 12-03-2011 12:16 PM

Is that Soulstorm wallpaper new? Because I've never seen it before and it's one awesome rendering of the Brewery.

STM 12-03-2011 12:55 PM

The actual image isn't new but they've HD'ified it.

Wil 12-03-2011 01:04 PM

Didn't need HD'ifying, they can just have gone back to the original painting by Rob Brown.
