How long will it take for the whole Oddworld quintology to be in stores and realiesed

I think it will take another 20 years or so for the whole quintology to come out. I mean if it took almost 5 to 6 years for these first three games who knows how long. How long do you think?

***Xavier*** · #2 06-10-2002, 04:33 PM

I think between 10 and 20
but maybe they will go faster now

My theory is 2 years between each "Oddysee", with an "Exoddus" in the gap.

thus, given that MO came out in 2001, the last oddysee would come out in 2007 (with an exoddus the year later).

This is supposing that they don't have any huge delays like the ones caused by changing to 3d and changing to Xbox

i think it might take 20 years, but they may do it all alot quicker i hope

You people are crazzy!!!... 20years... even 10years... I mean jease Lorren and Sherry will be 'Odd damn' generatrics by then (or at least comparitivly to their fans)!!!

How do you think that any company could deliver such a product over such a huge time scale so consistantly with out going bankrupt 10 times over?

Once they get the swing in to it they will be pumping out a game less then every year...

... The quintology is only a small part of the total Oddworld plan after all and Im sure the people who make it now will like to live to see it end!!! (I dont mean to be overly offencive to OWI, but im trying to stress my point... plus it just comes naturally to me

)

Even OWI must not think that it will take too long to make each game because they still have 4 more games contracted with the Xbox... And the Xbox has only about 4 and a half more years of viable life... And when you consider that OWI has always had a emfisis on having the best technology they will not want to still be part of the Xbox after it becomes low tech... And if they want to get to the top of the game early they will bail out on to the PS3 in 3 years (which they can only do once they met the terms of their contract with Microsoft)...

In other words they will probly finish the quintology in 5years or less. 5years is far more realistic then 10years onwards.

Since they are rebuilding the A.L.I.V.E. engine again (spedifically for the Xbox), it may take a while before the next game. I think, though, after they have that building block to start with, they may be able to get games out sooner.

Remember after the Quintology there are the Habitales and Fearietales, and don't forget the movies.

Is one life enough?

[Dark Voice]this is only the beggining[/Dark Voice]
I hope oddworld games will never end

brewmaster · #9 06-15-2002, 08:07 PM

I hope it is less than 10 years

Oddsville · #10 06-15-2002, 10:23 PM

I put 20 years although I think it will be somewhere inbetween, something like 15-18 years. But Im sure that after the Quintology there will be even more epic series (not including the Habitales and Fearitales.), after all everyone at OWI says that the Quintology is just the tip of the iceberg!

realy?
where did you saw that ?

Oddsville · #12 06-16-2002, 06:04 PM

I've seen them say that in several interviews. I'll go try to pull up some for ya Xavier.

Roop · #13 06-17-2002, 01:36 PM

I think in about 5 days.

***Xavier*** · #14 06-17-2002, 05:51 PM

roop...
what are your sources ?

paramiteabe · #15 06-17-2002, 06:02 PM

I am just trying to be safe here thats why I put 20 and higher years in the poll.

***Xavier*** · #16 06-17-2002, 06:13 PM

yeah but there is a guy who voted more than 50...
it's a bit exagerated, no ?

Brew Master · #17 06-17-2002, 06:37 PM

Ten years is wayyyyyyy to long. Final Fantasy games, come out 1 every year. Fiancially 10 years sounds too long. Unless Microsoft contiunes buy oddworld over the next 10 years, and pay for all thier game development, without worring about profit. Then 10 years sounds cool. 4 years they'll all be out or drastically change...

Genral.E.Stupid · #18 06-18-2002, 05:15 PM

its gonna take forever..................
i think there actually working on a way of making themselves live forever befor they carry on with there plans for the seiries. cause if there not it might never get finished (with all the movies and stuff to think about too)

sligster · #19 06-21-2002, 08:29 PM

I voted 10 years, but now that I think about it, I can't wait that long!!!!!

scrabinator · #20 06-21-2002, 10:45 PM

I think it will take 5 years.

Kaimana · #21 06-27-2002, 12:44 AM

I estimated that it may take 20 years or so to complete the quintology. (this was estimated from the time the first game was out till my estimation)

***Xavier*** · #22 06-27-2002, 03:47 AM

I found an Interview of Lorne and he said 12 years...
but is it true? I think it will be a little bit more
