Yeah. I mean, Halo is extremely popular (hate it though I may), and now a movie is in the works.
OW has the potential of Halo, but it just doesn't have the popularity. Part of it is due to the poor advertising on EA's shoulders, and part of it is due to the ignorance of the average gamer. I'd rather OWI stick to their original ideas and designs, and try to get a kick ass advertising department, one that really brings the dark and twisted wonder that is Oddworld to your home television.
The Munch's Oddysee TV spot was great, even though the game itself was not, and it's because of that sweet slice of ad that Munch did better in the market than Stranger. Stranger has twice the potential Munch had, and if he had his own TV spot (one that wasn't shown only on a fucking gaming channel), then OWI would have the money and the gusto to make one punk-ass movie.
