(gomen Teal-san just had to....)

Well for one thing at first it's fairly difficult to begin programming for the PS2 for most designers, but once they get the hang of it it's usually not that big a deal. But Sony wasn't giving OWI any help and when Microsoft offered to give them a "full ride" plus how impressed Lanning was with the Box well it was all down hill for PS2 hardcores from there...

I know a year ago I was fuming over that move! But over time I've simmered down and have accepted my Odd fate...to obtain an X-Box and play Munch's Oddysee!!!

::comforts his PS2:: "Don't Worry Baby! I still love you! I'll always play my DVD's on you, that hussy X-Box can't take that away from you (*cough*unlessIpay$40*cough*)"

OWI went to Micro$oft's(err MicroSoft) X-Box because they felt the game(MO) would benefit more from it (not that it matters to me, the previous screenshots on the PS2 and the recent X-Box screenshots look the same to me). I did used to think they switched purely for the money...but I know better then that now. They wanted to give the gamers the best gaming experience possible.
There's my 2 cents worth...now if you don't mind...

I see no reason why ps2 couldn't have handled Munch.

I think it was the money but i don't want to be disloyal to oddworld.

I guess i will know have to save up for XBOX even though i bought a PS2 just for Munch. Life really sux.

well, i think they did it for the gamers. the XBOX is more capable of handling the huge environments set in the game. plus, there are many extras that the XBOX has that makes it even better. i could go on... but i dont wanna be killed. *hides*

PSz could handle the environments. Let's see if people like the x-box.

it could handle the environments, but the BOX handles them much better. lets wait and see how much people like the BOX. if it flops, so be it. that doesnt mean its a bad console. if it does well, all the better.
