So we are talking about a lack of skills. So, even if they had all the money they wanted, it isn't sure that they will know how to use it properly.

Isn't OWI just a empty shell today if basically it's just Lanning and his wife ?
Did you even read my reply to your post before? OWI is far from being an "empty shell".

:
Sorry but Nnt's controls are a disaster (remember that we are talking about a remake) : when you press the "jump" button it's like playing lotery.

The question is : can JAW Handle the (heavy) task of real new oddworld games ? Some fans are like "whatever the final result as long as we have some new games".
They are not a disaster, and they are certainly not a lottery. Should the controls behave in a non deterministic fashion, how would Shade667 be able to speedrun the game? I played the game multiple times and so did a couple of my friends and once we got used to it the controls were great. I admit I have some issues with the meat grinders and the UXB but after seeing a friend absolutely breezing trough them I can only blame myself.

:
Crashpunk, JAW shouldn't care about our posts (because if not it shows they need help and that they don't know what to do which isn't a good sign). For example, did OWI needed OWF to make AO, AE, Munch and Stranger ?
So basically what you are saying is that the best way to create a product is to ignore customer feedback?

:
Don't you guys have the feeling that Lanning is bored by Oddworld since the cold shower (MO) ? Without fuzzle and Vykkers, Stranger's wrath is hardly Oddworld related. Also, he still wants to make Fangus. It's like he knows that he isn't capable of making a great new game worth playing it (because of lack of good ideas). I mean, how is it possible for JAW to make a great game if the brain (Owi-Lanning) already give up 13 Years ago ?
You simply have no idea what you are talking about. You are complaining in the same couple of sentences that he has no new ideas because he's doing and trying new stuff. It sounds like you see Oddworld as just being AO's creatures and you're upset the creative mind behind oddworld actually had a larger vision for this world.
