Is oddworld inhabitants ever comming back to game industry?

Northgore · #1 05-31-2009, 01:45 PM

Hello everyone...I am a big fan of Oddworld Inhabitants. I miss their games and originality , Oddworld Stranger's Wrath was amazing.

What is currently going on with OWI? I know their website says "Coming Soon" but are they ever going back to making Oddworld games?

in short there creating a CG movie called citizen seige and there may be another game coming along, we should find this out soon actually.

I'm still think Abe will not be returning ever...

Nah, they're bound to include Abe in at least one more project of some form before something happens and OWI is no more. Well, that's what I belive anyways. I just don't see them not coming out with at least ONE more Oddworld related project, especially with all the projects we've heard about in the past however long.

I hope so, its been so long. Plus will people really get back into Oddworld when/if it comes back?

joshkrz · #9 06-03-2009, 01:32 PM

i know i will, but younger generations will be like
"O NOES W0T IZ DA BLU3 ALI£N M4N"

so i dont really know

mr.odd · #10 06-03-2009, 03:17 PM

people are bound to give it try. why do you think we're here.

Worst case scenario we get AO and AE released onto the XBL MArketplace and PSN. I would love this.

i dont see why they havent done this yet, lol, play online with loads of abes

xbox has sonic the hedgehog for megadrive, but i suppose abe was for PS1 and is copyright by sony

Not at all, OWI still own the rights...

The issue would be the cost of the converting the game to work on the Xbox360 and PS3. It would probably involve quite a bit of work.

joshkrz · #16 06-04-2009, 08:39 AM

yes i suppose, sonic is very simple where as abe looks simple but isnt

still, i would buy it, even if it cost 2000 Microsoft Points (i think thats £17 odd)

bobtheguy · #17 06-04-2009, 11:29 AM

I think that oddworld inhabitants will never make another game with abe in it... they kinda messed up with munche's oddysey, never played it but I've seen screenshots, and one of the screen shots is an advertisement for something called BUTT-FLOW, what the hell is BUTT-FLOW? oddworld was really only meant for 2-d I think. I would like them to make another game, but I doubt they well. but atleast we have some fan games

Is that why you disapprove of Munch’s Oddysee?

joshkrz · #19 06-04-2009, 12:31 PM

you could say what the hell is a meech munchie or a soul storm brew though. i know what you mean though the adverts in MO were no were near as good as AO/E

moxco · #20 06-04-2009, 05:54 PM

This is FRD all other again. The company is a turtle, spending most of it's time hidden in it's shell. Then it'll pop out to give us news and false hopes. And then, one day the website will be down and we'll never see the turtle agian.

That's right OWI will be eaten by a shark.

well you have to admit that Butt-Flow is a retarded product to have....... I mean can't the creators of oddworld think of something slightly better?

***Wil*** · #22 06-05-2009, 06:27 AM

Why exactly is it a retarded product? Constipated people need laxative. Butt-Flo may be crude humour, but it’s perfectly in keeping with the Oddworldian take on consumerism.

You mean like, a button entirely dedicated to farting? Get with the flo man.

bobtheguy · #24 06-05-2009, 09:58 AM

.... oh so butt-flo helps abe fart?

Slog Bait · #25 06-05-2009, 10:02 AM

No, Butt-Flo isn't even used in the game as anything except something the Vykkers advertise. Though, that would be an interesting use, I don't think it'd work.
