You might be overestimating the amount of respect that we will give you for having things happen in the world at the same time that you're alive.

lol; but seriously, are they actually going to bother to update the site at all? Or will we just have to wait in suspense for even longer?

4 or 5 Projects?

In this article, they mention that J.A.W. is collaborating with OWI on 4 - 5 projects that "will see a return to Oddworld". The phrase, "will see a return", could mean one of two things. Either they're going to revive some canceled games (like "Fangus Klot" and/or "Hand of Odd"). Or they could just be saying they're going to help bring back the franchise with new stuff but like to word things funny to bring hopes up.

It occurs to me that any new Oddworld game is going to come without the cinematics that we have become accustomed to. I doubt that Jaw has the resources to make the kind of cut scenes that OI used to make.

I'm still looking forward to having a new Oddworld game, though.

Agreed. But there's always hope that members of OWI will make sure that JAW does an Oddworld game right

Going slightly off subject; has anyone played any previous games produced by JAW? Because if anyone on here has; then they might have some insight on what we could expect for the next Oddworld game(s).

OWI could always provide them with a few clips like they did for G4.

If I remember right, it was always OWI intention (after leaving the game industrie) to do what they do best, and use a third party to do what they do best.

OWI is best in story telling and cinematics, so they will provide that.
A third party (JAW for instance) is best in creating the mechanics and all stuff that is needed for gameplay.
Together they create then a new game.
That is what I always had in mind after the several interviews about leaving the game industrie by OWI several years ago. I could be horribly wrong though.

from an old interview:
:
LL: We're not looking to create a large, fully staffed studio. We're looking at an above-the-line model that is more closely akin to a film director/producer production company--in that you scale as is required for each independent production and utilize the best of existing companies to form coproduction relationships on a per-production basis.

I doubt that would provide any insight. Their last game, Gravity Crash, was a retro-style 2D space shooter. In any case, their staff has in the last 20 years collectively accumulated over 100 years' experience working on over 40 titles.

Also the cinematics are more likely to be one of things outsourced along with other matters of programming.

Well they've buggered themselves there. Not exactly smart to lay off the guys that do the animation, something Lorne wanted to get the company into.

Lorne decided to become an ip company. A place where intellectual properties are born, and then shipped off to other companies whom he will expect to make his dream exactly the way he dreamed it.

So, yeah. Not very smart.
