Oddworld Site Not Here Yet -

Ninjaxe · #31 06-12-2006, 05:56 AM

Well for this, I think the film will have to flow through. In being a movie of AO. They have to create something we haven't seen before. Thinking this is going to be CGI, it more likely they reuse the old footage from the game. Just brighten it up about. Make it more real.

Its the gameplay bit that worries me. Going through mines and rupture farms. How much more talking can Abe say to mudokons: "Than follow me", "let you guys outta here" I cannot think anything else they could add to make more depth into story.

Oh remember shortest movie last for 99mins. What are you views on this? Either agree or disagree? Really think Lorne can pull this off and attract new fans?

Sweetness. I concur with Alcar, judging by the film strip, I think it's safe to assume that they're working on a film.

Thankyou Jordan Boi for informing the forums.

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great! Oddworld still lives! Yes! Yes! Yes! *Bumps head on the ceiling, falls down, and passes out*

Jordan · #34 06-12-2006, 06:47 AM

YAY I DID SOMETHING GOOD!! I found out this morning, I was going on the web and seeing as the Oddworld Site is my homepage, I just saw it and couldn't BELIEVE my eyes! Oh thank you Lorne!!!

About bloody time! I'll just hope this is more dark and less cartoony like the new games are.

Nath · #36 06-12-2006, 07:05 AM

If i say anything, I'll just be paraphrasing things that have already been said. But i'll do it anyway.

It's been so long since we've heard anything from oddworld, but none of us gave up hope. The whole company seems very secretive about everything they do, which i think can be a good thing. But now we know something solid is Coming Soon, we can be sure it's gonna be awsome.

Matriar · #37 06-12-2006, 07:17 AM

Yeah.

Glukinator · #38 06-12-2006, 07:46 AM

*Gets off the floor after passing out* I just can't wait. This is great, an Oddworld movie and a new website! I have an overload of happyness!

Thank you Jordan_Boi!!!!

Hey, it needs a bit of humour, thats part of what I loved about the games. Well, the ones that I've played...
A thought, it would be wicked if they made different versions of the movies so that they have seperate endings, like the games did. That would rock. They'd come in a bundle on DVD, though.
Now all I have to say is...my prayers to banana phone payed off*slapped*
The movie almost HAS to be about Oddworld, the whole company is about Oddworld, its in the name. It would make no sense if they made something unrelated.
The games were unique, we need more. And without stupid forced release dates so that they have a chance to release multiplatforms at least. oh, and hopefully they told X-box and their 'only with us for next two or whatever games' to f*ck off. Always some xcuse with Microsoft isn't there? Money, money, money...
The real world sucks, anyway.
Plus, I thought the infants logo was only mainly for the book because it had a larger logo on front. Also for pages inside the book were more logo edits.
EDIT: On close inspection, the new logo has a little light above it, maybe representing something, plus it looks a bit like an egg. A new start?I hope its related more to the movie or whatever rather than a new franchise, 'cause I'd love more games.
Also, I hope after X-box's 'only with us' contract can be bent when its expired to make multiplatform versions of MO and SW. Stupid microsoft and their cheap X-box 360 too. Those graphics are c*ap in comparison to PS3 etc. They just look shinyer.

Lol everyone is thanking me, I thought you would have all known!! This thread was made this morning around 8:30am and it is now 5.00pm to me and there are 2 pages to the thread!! LOL

Well, we're all exited about a new website about the Oddworld movies. This is great news!

***Wil*** · #42 06-12-2006, 08:14 AM

Ah, I am glad. It's been a struggle for a lot of fans to hold onto hope in the face of indefinite silence. This shows OWI is at least working on something, and for the relief that provides the fans, I am thankful.

Jordan · #43 06-12-2006, 08:20 AM

I hope the Abe's Oddysee movie will be good if it comes out, it will be very hard to make seeing as Abe's Oddysee is a 2D platformer and 2D platformers can't be made into movies that well, it'll be nice to see what ideas they'll think of!

***Xavier*** · #44 06-12-2006, 10:11 PM

That was my first thought also but once I cogitated for a few moments I realised they haven't been using that one since before Munch.

well they definatly used it for the book

I'm...just stunned! I'm so happy that this day actually came!
You know what this means...Alf and his Assistant may be coming around here more often!

Thank you!

the guys who helped to make that article said they assumed, we can assume too, but in fact there's no official word

Yes there is. From Raymond.

Mudoko_Jedi · #47 06-12-2006, 10:44 PM

They are making games just there focusing on the movie right now.

Slig outlaw · #48 06-12-2006, 10:46 PM

I don't really know because I'm not one of oddworlds creator but I think there just focusing on the movie for right now.

1)You know what this means...Alf and his Assistant may be coming around here more often!

2)Yes there is. From Raymond.

1) Not in a near future I'm afraid
2) He's working "on the first Oddworld feature film" and "continuing to flesh out Oddworld" ideed.

I'm absolutly aware many things point to the fact OWI's first film may be about oddworld, just I try to keep an open mind

Cullen Heath · #50 06-13-2006, 01:04 AM

Oh, I know. We're probably all guessing that that's what it's about. I'm just telling you that I HAVE had official word from Mr. Swanland in exchanging emails with him.

Bullet Magnet · #51 06-13-2006, 01:26 AM

Who is Alf and his assistant in the forum?

Okay Oddfans, OWI's PR guys will be doing their thing, but when it does finally come out, we all gotta tell anybody and everybody to see this movie. New ideas can scare people, but even as we see hundreds of old fans start crawling out of the woodwork, we can help reel in more. Because, if (and Odd forbid) the film is a box office flop, then it could put OWI right out of business. The only way I can imagine that ever happening is if people see "just another CGI movie", notice that it is not pixar or Dreamworks, and not bother. We cannot let that happen. EVER.

Xav, who are the babies inside purple "O" in the logo?Plus, their heads are grow from each other!

Zerox · #56 06-13-2006, 04:40 AM

LOL.
Well, Disney and Pixar (well, m'be not Pixar) are evil. Disney just wants money. Sometimes they make hlaf good movies. But then they also bring out 'Bambi 2' or 'Poohs Heffalump adventure' (which ruined The Whole Point of the original heffalump story, since they're not meant to exist) and completely change and ruin stories that they originally made into a film. B*stards.
But at least OI isn't doing that. Hopefully I won't have to put a 'yet' here. And their games were, y'know, GOOD. Unlike Disney's c*ap games just to make extra money, like the sequel c*ap things, also with a terrible plot etc.
And yet Disney still makes some good movies. Its like a Yin Yang or summat, I have no idea WHAT they're thinking.

hehe my only answered question to Alf I believe

:

Q: What is the story or meaning behind the two little fetuses in the OW logo? -Xavier

Alf: The twin fetuses have long since been absorbed into Oddworld lore. The caliper and test-tube motif for the Oddworld logo was created for a brochure for the 1999 E3 convention. At the time, we were working on two games simultaneously; Munch's Oddysee and Hand of Odd. As time went on and the gears of corporate commerce kept turning, Hand of Odd faded away and Munch's Oddysee became the sole focus of production. In the end, Oddworld gave birth to a kicking and screaming Munch's Oddysee only. This is the history of the twin fetuses.

Lol that is pretty... ODD!! i really hope Hand of Odd comes out, then all of us on the boards will be able to battle or team up on it, that would rock!!!

Matriar · #59 06-13-2006, 07:09 AM

I agree with you, Zerox. Disney often sucks. I think only the movies they did some years ago were really good. It's a shame how moneygrubbing they became...
