What should have been.
 
Some intresting info about the PS2 version of Munch's Oddysee

New info:
-Wider GameSpeak range. Complements, etc.
-Flute ability in game for Munch.
-Munch was about to die at some point.
-Playable Lulu.
-Characters would get bling and jewels if they got rich.
Once Oddworld recovers, I'd really like a Munch's Oddysee reimagining.

Hey, sweet find! Where did you get this? February 2000 is a pretty early Munch interview.

It says GamePro at the bottom of the pages. I don't recall ever seeing that magazine.

Great find nevertheless. It make me even more depressed the game never launched on PS2.

Whoa, this is great! :D A priceless find! :D

Now that's an interesting find - Kind of sums up the pre-release hype MO had back in the day. Ah, memories.

Chin up, OW is currently being rebooted. That'll make up for it, I'm sure. :)

Why?

Weren't the majority of the problems that made MO so bad a result of it becoming Xbox exclusive

It might have been significantly better than it ended up had they never done that deal, but it happened so I guess we'll never know

For the 'what would have been' if it were, the 'what would have been' that happens to have been outlined in the OP, perhaps?

edit: fuck's sake Slog Bait

The swap to Xbox would have cost them time, but it's still a really ambitious project by today's standards. They would have run into issues anyway. I don't know how much work went into the PS2 game, but I doubt the game described in that article could have been made back then.

I would love to be proven wrong, of course.

Why?

I meant it as I 'used' to be depressed. I had a PS2 as a kid and I wanted more Oddworld :)
