Oddbox Releasing This Holiday

[Daxter King]

I didn't see a thread for this, I think it deserves one.

This deserved a new thread anyway...

Can't wait to play Stranger on PC, I absolutely loved that game. And it's good to know so many fans that missed those two last games will finally be able to play them.

[Crashpunk]

Fuck YEAH!

[Taco]

this 2010 Holiday season

This is wonderful news. I honestly thought it'd come out around the same time as Stranger on PS3 next year.

[smeghead25]

Any chance we'll get an Oddworld hat in TF2 if we pre-purchase? :P

Who am I kidding, 'sif I'll be playing TF2 when the Oddboxx releases...

[Mr. Bungle]

I've never played Stranger's Wrath, and I'm fucking excited to play it on PC. I'm not a fan of console shooters.

Finally, we're getting somewhere! Even if it is a port.

[Fred The Fuzzle]

Lorne Lanning should dress up as Santa and give it to me.

Seriously this is going to be fun, I think I might play them all over again, start to finish these holidays.

[Sekto Springs]

Lorne Lanning should dress up as Santa and give it to me.

The way I interpreted this made it much funnier. Bravo.

[Fred The Fuzzle]

The way I interpreted this made it much funnier. Bravo.

I tried to do that. [Cough Cough]

I was thinking of the same thing. Its not as unlikely as it may seem.

[Xavier]

Like Stranger's hat?

[moxco]

Didn't they say this last year?

[squeak117]

When they say 'This 2010 Holiday Season', do they mean it's going to come out in the next three weeks of 2010, or do they mean the entire holiday season, including the beginning of 2011?

Date terminology muddles my mind.

[Paul]

Yeah Stranger's Wrath FPS on PC will be awesome

Ambiguous, but probably the former. What I don't get is why they can't give a more precise date, given that if the former is true it will definately be in the next three weeks.

Thinking up some fun new hacks, are we?

[dripik]

So if I had decided back in 2002 or so that I wouldn't buy an Xbox for MO and wait for the PC release, now would be the time for me to play the two latest games.

I'll probably skip buying Oddbox though. The only reason I could come up with for buying is that I've only played the German version of MO, and I'd want to play the proper English version. But that's not good enough a reason.

And the MO wiki page needs some refreshing concerning the Oddbox release, if anyone is into that.

[Dynamithix]

Everyone's discussing about Stranger's Wrath on the PC, what about Munch? I'm interested to see how it'll work out on the PC. I hope they fixed some of the controls.

Maybe they know a date that it will be up by, but they're pushing to launch earlier if they can.

[MeechMunchie]

The news is getting around. Guess which comment is by me.

[Manco]

Looks like OANST left a comment too:

Old news. All of this information has been available for nearly a year now.

And here I was hoping it’d finally get a release date.

[lismati]

For more information head over to the Oddbox Inhabitants site.

Site Fail

[MeechMunchie]

EDIT: Whoops.

[Scraby]

Haha, I was just thinking playing a first person shooter game on a PC would be so much better. I'd play the whole thing in FPS POV

I've never actually managed to complete Strange, I'm glad of that fact now. I just hope its not got a stupid UI that makes changing key binding and such a real nightmare.

[Crashpunk]

Playing FPS on PC IS better and stranger is just going to be so great

[Nate]

Can't imagine how the platforming parts are going to work, though. I think I'm going to stick to playing this with a controller.

[Crashpunk]

Good point. come to think of it, MO is a Platformer. Okay i'm getting a controller

[Xavier]

Yep, I really wish it will be compatible with the Xbox360 controller

[Crashpunk]

I want to see if it works with a PS3 controller, then pretend it was the PS2 version of Munch's Oddysee and it was never canceled
