Name Abe HD

[gishygleb]

Abe's Oddysee HD - Abe Reloaded. Then Abe's Exoddus HD can be named Abe Reloaded or Abe's Destiny.

[OddjobAbe]

That all just sounds too clunky. They should just rename it "Unusualworld".

[Wil]

Someone by a name I don't recognize has submitted "Oddworld: OANST's Oddysee".

Abe's Oddysee HD - Abe Reloaded. Then Abe's Exoddus HD can be named Abe Reloaded or Abe's Destiny.

Surely that would make Exoddus HD into "Abe Revolutions".

[Bullet Magnet]

Presumably his revolution occurs later in the series and is led by another protagonist.

[Varrok]

Oddworld: Path of Abe

[gishygleb]

Someone by a name I don't recognize has submitted "Oddworld: OANST's Oddysee".


Surely that would make Exoddus HD into "Abe Revolutions".

LOL

[Asmoden]

The only one that make sense to me is "new'n tasty"

[IThoughtIHadAGoodJob]

The only one that make sense to me is "new'n tasty"

Love it.

[MeechMunchie]

Oddworld: All the entries were really shit so we're just going to shove in this placeholder until we think of something better HD.

[Andrelvis]

Brilliant! Abe's Oddysee: New 'n' Tasty would fit perfectly with the game. I hope you actually entered that to the contest.

[OANST]

Abe's Oddysee: New 'n' Tasty Edition sounds really good. Mostly because we would then have to refer to the original as the "Old and Not So Tasty Edition".

[Wil]

There are 51 submission that contain "New 'N' Tasty" in some form.

[Bullet Magnet]

Damn. That's me out of the running. Probably.

[Nepsotic]

And plus Asmoden didn't come up with new 'n' tasty. Someone else already mentioned it earlier in this thread.

I wanna know who submitted OANST's Oddysee. Probably OANST.

[OANST]

I didn't submit any names. I'm also curious.

[Asmoden]

And plus Asmoden didn't come up with new 'n' tasty. Someone else already mentioned it earlier in this thread.

I diden't come up with it but still is the best.

What are the top rated ones by the way?

There are 51 submission that contain "New 'N' Tasty" in some form.

So, how are you gonna pull it of?
51 wins?

[Connell]

I really think the 'New 'n' Tasty' should be in a little bubble at the bottom of the box, not the actual name for the game... Just my opinion though. And half of those play on word suggestions with 'odd' in are making me feel sick. JAW, please don't choose anything ridiculous like that.

[Michael]

There's a bit of ambiguity with this! Like Wil said, there are 51 entries with 'New 'n' Tasty' in some form. So the question is, do JAW collect these submissions under one 'same base idea' group, or treat them as individual?

For example, hypothetically, say that on the 5th someone suggested 'Oddventure', then on the 7th someone suggested 'Oddworld: Abe's Oddventure'. JAW decide they would like the latter.

Would the first be the winner for being the original 'Oddventure' submission, or would they forego that entry to choose the verbatim submission despite being entered later and potentially copied (and slightly reworked) from the original?

Tricky I guess. If JAW were to choose the second in my example, there could be backlash from the first entrant because he first suggested 'Oddventure'. If they chose the first, there could be outrage from the second entrant who would say they were the first (maybe only) person to submit that exact title.

With the amount of submissions, it seems like everything will fall under this question. I doubt there are any truly unique answers, (besides the joke ones!), and even then it's of course down to the one JAW like best.

I could foresee this becoming a PR nightmare if the submission times were revealed. The only thing I can think of is for JAW to pick the one they like best, and just tell everyone it was first.

[Wil]

There are 86 submissions that include 'oddventure'.

[MeechMunchie]

How many include the pun "Moddern"?

[Manco]

How many don’t include puns?

[Varrok]

How many people said there's no need for a name change because Abe HD / Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee HD is ok already?

[Connell]

I think we've learnt that this whole concept doesn't work with such a close fan base.

[Wil]

How many include the pun "Moddern"?

16.

These are harder to search for.

[Varrok]

We believe in you!

...you exist.

This, if you go with 'New 'n' Tasty'.

I think that name is a bit cheesy, though.

[Asmoden]

We have to take in consideration they will remake OE too.
We need to name OE in a similar way like:
Oddworld Abe's Oddyseey "New'n tasty"
Oddworld Abe's Exoddus "Alcolic version" or "More sugar"

[Scrabaniac]

Oddventure sounds horrible, it hits the ear wrong. Its not even a word, at least oddysee and exoddus have odd in them at appropriate places to make the word sound how it should. Deviant spelling is only effective in certain amount of ways.

Agreed, 'Oddventure' is forced, and sounds daft.

Wil, did anyone submit Abe's Oddysee Reprocessed? I thought to submit an entry you had to comment on the comments section of the blog entry at Oddworld.com, so I put Abe's Oddysee Reprocessed there :/...

[Scrabaniac]

Reprocessed or repossessed?
