Stranger and PS3 - coming next easter!!!

[Wil]

Aye.

[Xavier]

Perhaps, I don't know yet...

[Michael]

Sounds awesome, I'd love to go! My animation course at uni frequently goes to these kinds of events, so I'll ask tomorrow. If not, reckon I might go anyway, should take less than an hour to get there

[Paul_hibs3]

Wait..is Strangers Wrath HD coming out on April 28th or is it a preview of the game? And if so the later thats a joke. OWI said the game would get an Easter release not an Easter preview.

[Wil]

That was before they realized how buggy MO and SW were and spent a lot of time patching things up. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the release date had slipped a little.

[Dynamithix]

I'm guessing they'll push it to May, but I hope they release it in April.

[elums mum]

Alf said it will be released before the end of Spring. I just thought i would put that here incase a few of you hadn't seen his latest Q&A

[Wil]

Depends how you define spring. I recall him saying Q2, which would be April, May or June.

[Gwan-Thwei]

WAIT WAIT WAIT
is it a new game? or is it the same one, only for PS3?

[elums mum]

yeah Q2 would probably be more accurate and its just the same but remade with HD graphics and stuff

[Wil]

I think they're bringing the HD assets out on PC too, and they're trying to get it on Xbox I do believe.

EDIT

Re: Rerelease date

Michael Taylor (guy upgrading the audio) has put the PS2 release window on his website as Q2/Q3: http://www.stomp224.co.uk/Home/Credits.html

[Dynamithix]

I knew it... we're going to have to wait a bit longer.

[alluz]

Not a big fan of later oddworld games... err why lie okay i never played it because when it came out and i was kinda littel dummy and said it was shit but now as a ps3 owner il give it a shot

[Fred The Fuzzle]

Damn, I really wanted to get my chocolate covered hands playing Stranger this easter.

[erwinraaben55]

the PS2 release

Thought EA had canceled that ps2 release long ago


As long as they keep announcing they are working on more and more stuff, the stuff announced already will never see the light of day. Please, just finish something first, before going too much to the next projects JAW.

[Wil]

EA doesn't have anything to do with it. Stranger HD was announced for PS2 back in September.

[Dynamithix]

*PS3

[Wil]

It could be the PS7 for all I care, but good point.

[erwinraaben55]

Lol, you thought I was serious with that comment haha.
Never underestimate the power of smilies in a post!

[Wil]

Oh, ha! I see what I did there. I've been saying PS2 instead of PS3 for longer than I thought. Serves Sony right for not coming up with an original name. I thought your smilies were just expressing your pleasure.

[Holy Sock]

I was really looking forward to this game, but then our house was burgled and there went our PS3 (they left us the Xbox) and my PC isn't powerful enough to run the PC port of SW. Any chance this will come out for the 360?

Also, Spring ends in May, so maybe it'll be out by the end of that month?

[erwinraaben55]

I think the title of this topic is appropriate again :-). Next easter sounds like a good plan to release it (or something else).

[Kinto]

haha

[Xavier]

I guess we will know more about it when they show it to the public at the game city nights.

[Michael]

So GameCityNights was yesterday, and nobody has mentioned anything about the Stranger HD gameplay debut! Can anyone who attended tell me, was it not shown in the end?

[Dynamithix]

Stewart Gilray said there wasn't any gameplay of SWHD.

[Manco]

So in the Oddblog post, this intrigued me:

A mysterious ‘Feature X’ was assured, although its reveal had to be censored last-minute. It is ten letters long, starting and ending with ‘s’.

Steamworks maybe? That's all I can think of.

[Wil]

Either that or Statistics.

[Crashpunk]

Feature X sounds a lot more important then what it really is.
sounds like something the FBI would name.
