In my opinion, it does us no good to be negative. We're fans because we like what they produce, we're not fans because we think we deserve something. Years from now we'll likely still like Oddworld (even if its a distant memory) regardless of whether or not CS ever released or another Oddworld game is made. We've been told CS is going to be made, and I'm content being excited over the possibility. Yes, it will suck if it takes a very long time or is never made, but that doesn't matter. I don't know what's going to happen and it makes me happier to be optimistic. I lose nothing for hoping for what I want, except some tiny disappointment. Its a movie, I can handle that disappointment. By thinking negatively, however, one misses out on the excitement and anticipation of the potential release. I like that feeling and choose to feel it.
Hell, I thought Oddworld Inhabitants was dead up until I joined this forum. So even distant projects are better than that.
Giving too much information too early gets ones hopes up prematurely, however. Production of such a big project is highly variable and things are likely to change over time. Personally, I'd rather wait to be told when they know what's going on, then to be jerked around with half-reports that end up changing.
Anything else I have to say will echo others and I don't want to pile on. I do want to emphasize just how long it takes to make a -good- CG movie.
