who (obsessives like ourselves excluded) is going to look that close at an advert?

Man,
We are fans!
Fans look everywere where odd is

I must commend EA for doing something about the dismal effort they've had recently in relation to promoting Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. Not only that, but this advertisement looks bloody stuning! The colours, the way everything blends, etc, etc, etc, t'is brilliant! I didn't even mind the hick talk, I was too busy looking at the purdy pictures.

:

Um, what forbiddin pic? Uh?

There was an image released with the first announcement of The Art of Oddworld over at the CG Talk forums. It was quickly taken down as Oddworld Inhabitants had not authorised that image to be released to the public at that point in time. This image shares strikingly similar features to the new 'ad'.

:

Hmm...on closer inspection, D. Caste Raider appears to have obtained two clones of himself...

There are more than three, and there are even more D. Caste Raider's than what oddguy has highlighted in his image.

Darn! I didn't see those other ones.

Most likely there's more, but I only see seven D. Caste Raider's as of now.

:::::::::::::

And I agree with Alcar on the ad...Stunning. I'm hoping to pick up that copy of OXM just to see it myself.

I'm so happy I'm an Oddworld fan. Every time such a wonderfull picture or movie is released, I'm drooling over my keyboard. (Makes it a little sticky and dirty but that's a problem I gladly take)

i want to have the xbm out of America!!
in NL there are only the NL and UK ones,
or is it the one in the halo box??

***Xavier*** · #36 12-01-2004, 08:13 AM

they did the same for some MO adver, you could see 2 Abes in there...
I wonder how big it is in the mag

Software Bug · #37 12-01-2004, 08:18 AM

it looks like full 2 pages and those pages are bigger then an A4 i know....
The XBM has the largest pages avaible for magazines...

***Xavier*** · #38 12-01-2004, 08:37 AM

you mean this is the scan of a dubble page?

this is too good quality to be dubble page, I mean you can't see the page change

Software Bug · #39 12-01-2004, 10:02 AM

if you look in the middle you can see it,
try finding the dark strip in the middle i belive that is the page change.
otherwise this is the original picture...

and right under it says :
Git on over ta eagames.com. Yer hunt begins January 26th

ps : sorry if this was already noticed or known

REGNARTS · #42 12-01-2004, 12:59 PM

Hi guys, yes it's a double page ad (Official Xbox Magazine issue 139 US edition pages 12 and 13). I've scanned them individually and then I put the 2 pages together with photoshop.The size of each page is almost 8.5 x 11 inches.I hope i've anwsered some of your questions.

Al the Glukkon · #43 12-01-2004, 01:05 PM

wow that's one of the best ads for a game that I've seen in a while.

Issue 139? OddBlog is reporting it as issue 39. Which one of you's is correct?

Alcar...

REGNARTS · #45 12-02-2004, 05:55 AM

My mistake it's issue 39...sorry.

I thought the release date was the 25th of January. That what Gamespot is saying at least.

Alf · #49 12-03-2004, 11:00 AM

That's not the same character... they just look the same due to all the inbreeding

oddguy · #50 12-03-2004, 11:27 AM

Inbreeds that wear the same clothes and pose exactly the same way.

*slaps knee in laughter*

Just having fun with ya, Alf. Anyway, you see what waiting for a game does to a soul. Makes us pick out whatever minute detail we can to pass the time.

***Alcar*** · #51 12-03-2004, 02:16 PM

I never imagined such a reason, but these are hicks we're talking about

Anyway, now that you've resurfaced, whats the deal with these different release dates spewing forth? And, who on Earth designed that piece of art we call the Stranger's Wrath Advertisement?

Alcar...
