AO was very grey. Sure there was colour, but it was usually only one colour overtone at a time. It usually changes for each temple/zulag. One zulag would be very purple, while one later would be green. I think the orange works on the box, as some areas were orange, though I do feel it'd be better as something else, as orange was a huge colour used in AE

Even with Rupture Farms on there all I see on the boxart is Abe's Exoddus, thats all I'm saying. Fair enough if the posters and marketing doesn't communicate AOs atmosphere but at least the boxart has to.

Where exactly is orange used so prevalently in Exoddus, besides the opening cutscene in the desert? The mines were blue, old Necrum was yellow, Mudomo and Mudanchee were purple and red, Feeco and Bonewerkz were brown and grey, the Barracks were green and yellow, and SoulStorm brewery was everything from magenta to blue.
Orange was used much more in Oddysee, I think – Zulag 1 and 2, most of the Stockyards, Scrabania and the Scrabanian Temple.
See for yourself.

The boxart tells me the game is a cross between Die Hard and Abe's Exoddus. Need to throw a couple more explosions on there, guys.

Now you’re honestly just making shit up. Nothing about the boxart looks like an action movie.

And if they are aiming squarely at existing Oddworld fans then, isn't all this entirely pointless? I thought all this was to boost the companys image and get them known. What's the point if they're aiming at Oddworld fans. It makes it look like they don't know what they're marketing and who they're marketing it to.

Abe was very popular back in the day. They can aim it at people who are familiar with Oddworld without specifically targeting fans.

What he said. Oddworld was a well-known game series around the PS1 era, so a lot of people will recognize the name when they see it. Their marketing is aimed squarely at getting the name out there as far as possible to call back to as many people who remember them as possible, whether they’re fans like us or not.

e: Also Job, they should stick with one colour unless it makes sense to change it. Simple.

This as well. It’s generally good from a design point of view to stick to a limited color palette – too many colors and you muddy the message.
