I know nothing's definite yet but i'd hate to see Oddworld's name tarnished by being a Facebook game. It's better than that, but now the series is gaining inspiration from Farmville. Of course the type of game Hand of Odd is differs alot from that of Abe or Munch, but still there's many better RTS games out there. I agree with what's been said before, you cannot beat the experience of buying an actual game from a shop, but this fact seems to be being overlooked.
Maybe we are overreacting, but so far JAW, the so-called help this franchise is getting, has given me no reason to under react. Maybe it will be a push in the right direction that's needed to get the series well known again and back in the mainstream market, who knows at this early stage! But it's my opinion from information given so far that this probably will be below par.
(And i'd rather be negative so then i'm greatly surprised when the final product surpasses my expectations)
