good game
 
In one magazine I allways read was a article about Exoddus when it came out. In this article the said: Oddworld- inventer Lorne Lanning reached his dream to create a work of art with a video game. No fan of Jump&Run can escape from the fascination of these odd creatures and their story. Lorne Lanning is on his way to became that what Geores Lucas is in the film industrie: A big visionary man with inexhauszible creativity and a big bank account.
The game get a 1 ( the assessment index reaches from 6(the worst, very very bad game) till 1(the best,very, very good game!)

The Oddworld Quintology was actually written to be a movie series, but it was decided to be released as games first.

Also, the artistic side of things is the main reason for the Xbox change (yes, some people will argue this), as the limitations of the PS2 would have meant that OWI would have had to comprimise on some things, in particular the quality of game play images.

I didn´t know that! well I hope there will be movies which contains on the games

Elum 04-14-2001 07:55 PM

Aren't they going to make movies for the games later on? I bet they will have one for Abe, then one for Munch, then one for Squeek and so on. I dont think they will make a movie for each gave (oddysee, exoddus, etc.)

Elum on the big screen would be awesome!

Sl'askia 04-14-2001 07:56 PM

a movie would be smashing! Definitely one I would go see :) :) :D :D

Cloverfield 04-14-2001 08:21 PM

Yes, the plan is one movie for each part of the Quintology. They are supposed to be 5 years away... but that is likely to change.

Elum 04-14-2001 08:24 PM

woa...5 years?! Thats a while..maybe they can get in a contract with Disney or something! ugg..that was a joke. I hope they produce it themselves..."oddworld inhabitants presents...Abes Oddysee" coming to theatres April 2001. Sounds good.

Iantiger 07-10-2002 02:00 PM

I know this thread's a bit old an all that... but I thought I might as well resurrect this one instead of create a new one...

Anyway, my question is...

*drumroll*

Any more information on the movies? Has the making of the first movie been started/ is there a new release date/etc?

Xavier 07-10-2002 02:32 PM

well they are planed after the quintology...
so in a long, long time

Iantiger 07-10-2002 02:49 PM

Dam! That's a VERY lonnnnnnggggggggggggg time.

Xavier 07-10-2002 03:56 PM

yeah...
the words "patient" and "wait" are much used here

Iantiger 07-11-2002 03:58 PM

Oh well... If they're anything like the games, they'll be worth the wait...

brewmaster 07-12-2002 02:25 PM

An Oddworld movie cool!

Edo 07-14-2002 10:33 PM

The wait is not so bad considering we will have games until then. Getting all the endings will keep me busy.

Kaimana 07-14-2002 11:19 PM

I can not wait to see the amazing technological CGI in the movies.

TheKhanzumer 07-14-2002 11:57 PM

I can't wait to see what was put into the oddworld games for gameplay purposes only and what they actually decide to put in the movie, which I would consider the most "official" version of oddworld.

I don't think we would have to worry about poor quality imagery I can promise everyone that. Let's just hope the script is as good. And the ticket sales.

tybie_odd 07-18-2002 08:52 AM

I Don't Want to Wait!!
 
Oh, I'm so impatient! Waaaah, I want movies SOON.... Ok, ok, calm, down, how long are we looking at here?

One game = approximately 3 years to make.
Quintology = five games plus at least five bonus games.
Total games = 10

10 * 3 = 30 .....NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
:mad: :crying: :flames: :crying: :dead:

One movie = approx 2 years to make
One movie per Quintology Episode = five movies
5*2 = 10

Total time making all games and movies: 40 years
Minus 9 years for the first three games = 31

If this is correct (which i pray to Odd it is not), then the last movie will not come out until 2033!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My age at that time: 47 holy crud! i'll be as old as my mom is now!

Someone slap me, I'm going insane!!!

scrabinator 07-18-2002 10:20 PM

I don't think that it will take 3 years to finish each game.:)

tybie_odd 07-19-2002 12:23 PM

Thanks, Scraby. You're right. AE came out right after AO, right? Just in one year. Maybe we'll be lucky. *dries tears* that's encouraging.

Alcar 07-19-2002 12:36 PM

I think it will take at least 2 for ME to be released, afterall it is now in 3D and the programmers/whatevers have gotten used to the new programming etc.

Therefore it should be released sooner, but not too soon. One year I think is too much to ask for. Anyway, there;s an upside to this too, we will have so much more time to ponder what ME will be like :)

scrabinator 07-20-2002 10:21 AM

I would at least like a tiny bit of info about it. Like what is the main factory, what new creatures will be in it, what is the name of the main boss/bosses, what new characters will we see etc.

Xavier 08-04-2002 02:50 AM

well, I want to see new stuff like production images...
but I think we will to have to wait to fall to see something intresting

I-Are-A-Slog 08-08-2002 03:48 AM

Maybe this Quintology stuff is a plan... 3 games, 2 bonus games and 2 movies or something

Xavier 08-08-2002 06:52 AM

no:
5 main games (same stories as the 5 films)
plus bonus games for each of the main games.

dripik 09-03-2002 05:34 PM

Yeah, the Quintology includes 5 main games and 5 bonus games, as Xavier said. Wow, a movie would be great! I'll see it in the cinema, but I hope they won't translate it to hungarian... :sick: I wonder who could cast Abe in Hungary?:D

Xavier 09-03-2002 05:52 PM

well I would buy the original version, definitly not the french one, I recently got MO in french (I allready got it in english) and the voice are just BAD.

Oddsville 09-03-2002 08:35 PM

Well we won't have to wait too long sience OWI had already created the script, cutscenes, etc. This hasn't been conformed my anyone but Im almost certain that it true sience the Oddworld Quintology was written as a movie first.

General Drippik 09-06-2002 08:05 AM

Xavier 09-06-2002 02:35 PM
