Is EA doing a good job?

What do you think?
Do you think the game is well promoted?

I have the impression EA could do better...

Well I don't know what EA has done for OWI apart from publishing it, they tried to produce it on the PS2, which is better than what Microsoft would of done, but Stranger never got to be on the PS2.

A thing I don't like what EA's doing is they way a put on the covers on box, they put this blue EA signe filling 1/6 of the box art. Which kinda ruins the cover.

I hope the're doing a good job for OWI.

I say we could use some more promotional material, like ArtWorks (I love that) and Rendered Art...

Also some more video won't be too bad

I think the most important thing for a publisher to do is to trust the developer to make games the way they want. I have no idea whether they are good on that count or not.

But it seems like most of the promotion of the game so far has been Lorne going out to the gaming press, rather than any advertisements or anything that EA would have to pay for. My vibe is that that will start soon; two months before the game is released seems like a good time to start.

Smarter than we think? I don't see what holding back advertising until something like two weeks before release will do to help OWI. I dunno, the public is ignorent to the ways of Odd.

They must be converted! CONVERTED!

Yes, but if they start mass advertising too early you run the risk of turning into 'background noise'. The next month should probably be a good time to start advertising on TV.

Apparently, lead programmer, Charles Bloom thinks EA isn't doing a good job. Spotted this on OddBlog.

:
Our lovely friends at EA are doing almost zero marketting for us...
I hope EA picks up the slack around December/January time and knocks our socks off with awesome marketing!

I asked the guy at EB Games about the DVD and they said they didn't get the promotional stuff yet.

Yes, I agree with you about the stranger page. It really sucks and there's not much info about the game that we don't already know.

EA has done hardly anything. According to Mark Snoswell of Ballistic Publishing, EA were meant to advertise the Oddworld art book. But I haven't seen a hint of advertising for anything Oddworldian.

Apart from that, EA have not properly tested the game. They have not returned a single decent focus test or play test. When Oddworld have asked EA for these tests, some idiot Executive was assigned to play the game, and scribble notes down. The bug testing has been pretty poor as well. I fear that Oddworld are left in the same situation as with Munch's Oddysee. They received very narrow reports for Munch's Oddysee, and as such, admitted by Oddworld, the game suffered from it. I would hope that for Stranger's Wrath, Oddworld Inhabitants ditched EA's testing department and hired a proper group of focus testers themselves. It may cost more, but if EA is going to feed them crappy testers, it should be worth it.

If Oddworld can't make the deadline they've set themselves, I hope they'll be smart enough to postpone. They ignored Munch's Oddysee in this manner, so I hope they don't ignore Stranger's Wrath should things not be ready.

History is repeating itself here with EA just not caring. Its go time, people! Get the word out! Stranger launches in 2 frigging months! I know there was a lot of hype last year but this is a classic overcorrection. Advertise now and start good testing or there will be a price to pay in January.

Woo! Perfect example. Fax is a member of the Oddworld Forums, and he hasn't heard a hint of information concerning the new game. If EA aren't going to do a good job with the advertising, testing and what not, Oddworld should see that they need to take action.

It's so funny, too, because you never hear about these things normally. Not to mention inter-company fueds / rivalry.

Yes, I am perfect... Ah- Example... A perfect example. I mean I come on to these forums, but not these forums, and I haven't heard a single thing about it, except that it's about some guy called 'Stranger'. I haven't seen anything about it anywhere else- Oh, that gives me an idea, I'm going to checkout if there is a board for it on GameFAQs.

There are actually quite a few Oddworld boards out there, but they tend to lack in the numbers, even though they belong to large sites like GameSpot and IGN (only two examples).

GameFAQs has boards on Stranger, as well as every other Oddworld game. They share the same boards as GameSpot, and members of both boards can interact together. You can check out the Stranger's Wrath board on GameFAQs / GameSpot here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...hp?board=37410

You may notice myself and a few other OWF regulars

There used to be an old Oddworld 4 board at GameFAQs, so I'm sure they have turned it into a Stranger one by now.

But I tend to agree that there has been a lack of marketing. I have mentioned the game to some of my friends at Advent Children.net who enjoyed the Abe games, and they actually throught it was still coming out on the PS2 [being a FF forums, there's mostly PS2 owners there]. The only info they had ever heard on the game was when it was announced that it was first picked up by EA and was going to be mutli-platform.

As for online, most of the stuff I have seen people link to is Xbox gaming sites. Gamespot has had a bit, nothing really on IGN. Other generic websites seem to have little if anything. And there has been no advertising at all [although it may be too early], but I quite often see ads for other EA games [i.e. the sport related games] when I'm browsing around on the web.

As for the testing thing ... they should get all us here to be testers! :P But in all seriousness, they need to get some real gamers in testing, not executives, they don't know anything about that kind of thing. One thing that used to impress me with Microsoft is that they'd have rooms of people [mostly in their late teens/early 20s] who would be sitting down and testing the crap out of the games.

The good thing EA did, was picking up OWI when they were without a publisher (no more microsoft).

Another good thing is that OWI themselves kept the game very very quite. No overhyping this time. Probably EA are just following in that.

I have a feeling EA gives OWI enough time / money / freedom to finish Stranger's Wrath.

After newyear they have a month or so to convince gamers. After the holiday crazyness. I expect new info / screenshots / movies / stuff by then. But not too many, not giving too much info, so you can enjoy the game to the maximum.

According to an Oddworld Inhabitant, that is not the case.

As for keeping the game hush-hush, EA can still advertise the game. Oddworld Inhabitants have released more than enough information to do so. A few pictures here, a summary there, some video clips in between. I think it's fairly obvious that Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath isn't very high up on EA's list of games to celebrate.

Uhum, you could be right on this. But is that a bad thing? Do you want Stranger to be promoted like, let's say, Halo? I don't need promotion, I'll buy an Oddworld game anyway. And I'm no expert on the field, but howmany promotion is good? Don't want to promote too little (people will not know the game) or too much (overhype, dissapointment, allready tired off game even before the release,...). My conclusion; somewhere in the middle. Just like they are doing now (agreed?).

Oddworld's primary goal is to have Oddworld in every household, so that their messages can reach the world. In reality, this can only be achieved by advertising. Advertising brings in more buyers, and those buyers recommend the game to their friends, and their friends - essentially the snowball effect.

However, you have a good point. I wouldn't want to see Oddworld advertised like Halo 2 was. If Oddworld Inhabitants were able to pull off tasteful advertising in the least evasive method, while still reaching a significant amount of people, I'd be one very happy duckling.

I think starting the promotion of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath a month, or more from now is too late. I believe they should have started at least two months ago, starting off slow, and progressing to bigger and better things. Starting a promotions course this late will have its reprocussions, as it is with many other quality games that are poorly advertised.

You, and some other sound as if Stranger isn't being promoted at all. Here in Belgium I get as much news on Stranger as on other titles (ok, not the overly promoted once like, once again, halo 2, half life 2 or doom 3).

I have seen at least 3 (video) interviews with lorne or others.
A massive amount off screenshots (mostly the same Region, but hey)
All major sites have previews.
The EA switch was news.
Movies: The Good, The Bad and The Odd, Intro Movie
Conferences: GDC, the Wanted-cards, EA gaming show, ...
Oddworld Art Book
Info: we've seen the live ammo and the bounties

In my humble opinion there is enough promotion like it is.
(Allthough some oddworld goodies, gadgets and merchandise are always welcome)

Oddipus...
Now compare your list with other games, this isn't that much.
Plus Oddworld Art Book is an oddworld product, not a part of the games's promotion

Now it's pretty quiet about Oddworld. I do agree with everything Alcar said.
EA should start promoting oddworld decently right now, before it's too late, I don't want the next oddworld be unnoticed!!! I don't want my friends to be "huh, there is an other oddworld, out? Never heard of that". The only one who are "decently" informed about the game are the fans, the rest doesn't know anything about the game. And that's what promotion should do, throw infos, pictures and such in the consumer's face, to make them want the game!!!


Some guys at OWI actually feel like EA is not caring about them now, that's realy terrible!

I associate EA with being "sell out", i'm no fan or big companys like Microsoft, Warner Brothers etc. What happened to GT Interactive?
