Does anyone have a link to Lorne explaining that Stranger is not part of the Oddworld Quintology? Thanks

AWWW · #**182** 02-06-2005, 08:03 PM

:

I'm with you on that one, but also (I just thought of this) EA probably staggers it so that they are not doing marketing everwhere at the same time.

They have EA office all over the world don't they, so that should not really be the reason .

There are 2 major reasons that I know for why Pal takes so long.

1.Europe is apart of Pal, therefore when they change the code to Pal, they would also translate it to all the major Europe lanuages.

2.Reprograming cost time and money (mostly the latter), as translating into all the major lanuages require lots of money.
SO the publisher make sure they know that it would be a big seller before they release it into Pal(major reason for the lack of RPGs (think of all the text to translate) and 2D Fighting over here at Pal, 2D fighters are deemed unpopluar

).

To 2 months different may be fast for a Pal game, but for all us Pal Oddworld fans it has been 3 years since enjoying MO, every second counts...

Max the Mug,

Just wondering, is this a medal of a human face??

(CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE THE LOCATION)
It was one of Greneral Dripik many medals that he had on. You can get a real good look if you have any old magazine that have the Abe Exoddus ad.

***Xavier*** · #**186** 02-20-2005, 12:00 PM

this is the face of Farzad, the one who designed the general dripik

***Nate*** · #**187** 02-20-2005, 04:50 PM

Can you confirm my vague memory that it wasn't Farzad himself that added that but one of the 3d artists who wanted to give him some credit?

I am amking a new Oddworld Site "Oddworld Forrest", and was wondering, is it legal to make a quote to the Art Book"

***Wil*** · #**191** 02-28-2005, 11:13 AM

Technically speaking, you can't even use quotes from the art book, as it's illegal to replicate the textual content in electronic form, too. It's really daft, but that's what it says at the beginning of the book (I once considered quoting those legalise lines on the Forums, just to mess them about

).

EDIT: Oh, and best of luck with your website.

Fuzzle Guy · #**192** 02-28-2005, 11:16 AM

OK, thanks Max

T-nex · #**193** 02-28-2005, 03:09 PM

Uh ok, i have this questionthat needs to be answered quickly... before it's to late..

When will the pal-version of Stranger finally be able to be pre-ordered? i've been waiting so long, and i really, really want that DVD. Will it ever come out in europe???

***Nate*** · #**194** 02-28-2005, 04:58 PM

The DVD aint comin' to Europe. Sorry, but you'll have to try the Ebay route.

T-nex · #**195** 03-01-2005, 06:20 AM

But....... .... .... This is unbelievable *stares into empty air*

How can they do such a thing?? And i have a pal version, the DVD is only NTSC format, isn't it???
The only way i could get would be through the net... Wouldn't that be illegal???

Aw man.... I never thought OWI would be like this

...

Fuzzle Guy · #**196** 03-01-2005, 09:25 AM

NEVER, blame Oddworld. It's EA's promotional DVD.

T-nex · #**197** 03-01-2005, 09:58 AM

Is it illegal downloading it from the net?? Cuz it's free, right?

Fuzzle Guy · #**198** 03-01-2005, 10:03 AM

It depends if it's copyrited, hold on I'll check (Just t let you know, It works in a non-chipped Xbox, I got mine from Ebay, and I'm in Britain)

T-nex · #**199** 03-01-2005, 12:52 PM

Aww... Damn... Are you sure i wont come to Europe? Cuz i just can't believe it. Alf said himself that we'd get more information about the pal-version of the game /and/ DVD.

What do you mean by non-chipped Xbox?

***Xavier*** · #**200** 03-01-2005, 01:01 PM

In Germany there is that pre-order action, in belgium/netherlands/france you have to win it trough EA promotions
for the other countries I don't know:

:

Q: Is the "Movies of Oddworld" DVD available as a preorder item in Europe? If so, what stores will have it?
A: We are currently not in production on those titles at this time. While EA originally intended the Movies of Oddworld DVD to be a pre-order item in the U.K., France and Germany, they have decided to use the DVD's in other various promotions. For more information, please contact your country's eagames.com website.

T-nex · #**201** 03-01-2005, 01:10 PM

Yup.. the problem is just that i don't know my countrys EA games website...
I don't really care where the DVD is coming from, as long as it's on english, and a PAL version. is there such a thing? If there is, will they send it to other countries?

EDIT: I just found out what the danish eagames site is..: It hought i'd tried that out already... oh well...

EDIT2: Ok, cjeked it out, and there was a little information: But nothing about the release date, or if it's possible to pre-order it

What do you mean by non-chipped Xbox?

By A Non-Chipped Xbox I mean your Xbox doesn't have to be modded to play this American DVD, as it's Region Free

PS: Is it Region 3 or Region Free

T-nex · #**203** 03-02-2005, 02:48 AM

How do i know if my Xbox is regionfree/region 3????

Argh.... i can still feel the pain... Stupid EA... I was really looking foreward for that DVD

Fuzzle Guy · #**204** 03-02-2005, 04:31 AM

Not the Xbox, the DVD is region 3/Free

T-nex · #**205** 03-02-2005, 12:15 PM

Really???? Where can i get it???

***Nate*** · #**206** 03-02-2005, 04:16 PM

Ebay. And to clarify my colleagues' previous posts: DVDs are not NTSC/PAL. They're the same all over the world, but of course some have region encoding to stop you playing a Yugoslavian DVD in Tonga. But this DVD seems to be region free so it will work on any DVD player. Any talk of Xbox's is just confusing the issue as it's a DVD and not a game.

Fuzzle Guy · #**207** 03-02-2005, 10:45 PM

Yes, I got mine from Ebay

T-nex · #**208** 03-03-2005, 05:59 AM

OMG!!!!

I'm all happy again... Now i can finally get it. Though, it was suposed to be free... Anyway, EAGAMES WILLO PAY FOR THEIR CRUELD DEEDS! Grrrr... i hate 'em.

Fuzzle Guy · #**209** 03-03-2005, 08:21 AM

Does anyone have a picture or the bad ending of Munch, you know, with Munch's head one shield. I've tired TOGG but it's not available.
