New Oddworld Games coming

[Nate]

The "interesting" part of the podcast is from 23th minute to the 26th minute and there's absolutely nothing new in there.

Several new things; a hint that the projects are not just games, confirmation that the first project has to do with Abe and that it's not on PS3 or anything to do with Nintendo. (they come back to Oddworld briefly after the 30 minute mark)

Agreed. I recommend that people looking to hear about Oddworld to not listen. All they do is restate obvious things like:
"Abe has a twitter ....kthxbai."

The only new information which I found somewhat amusing is that the dude talking about Oddworld went for the interview on a PlayStation podcast just to say the Oddworld game will NOT be released on PS3, Wii, or iPhone.

Here's a side note I noticed from Abe's twitter, it mentioned Aslik attending a party afew weeks ago. Does that mean he's not dead in terms of Oddworld canon?

Disagree. As Nate and OddBlog point out, there are tidbits of information. Other than that, I just enjoyed the banter.

Except he was primarily there to talk about the PSP port of a PSN game.

Abe on Twitter is still working at RuptureFarms.

and knows Munch... *ahem*

[Nath]

I was thinking the same thing.
What do you think he means by that Hand of Odd quote. Pretty random saying that

[PuddiinLOL :]]

So does this mean were gonna see more games about the Quitology, and maybe see Abe again ?

[Michael]

Firstly, great to hear Oddworld is back I've not heard the podcast yet, but does this mean that of the titles in development, some will be exclusive to certain consoles?

As a PS2 owner I was so disappointed when Oddworld went to Xbox, I think if that happened again after all this time waiting I'd hurl myself into the nearest meat grinder!

[shaman]

maybe see Abe again ?

It says "With all your favorite Oddworld characters" so i would imagine so.

This is terrific news, rest assured if this turns out to be a joke i will destroy you all.

[Oddey]

As great as this sounds, I remain skeptical.

Oh well. When whatever they're up to comes out and becomes a fanatically great piece of work, then you can all label me the non-believer.

[OANST]

I'll take everything bad that I ever said about them back if they actually release a game.

I'm actually feeling really optimistic about this. This is a business that they know intimately from an ip creation standpoint. I think that this time we may actually get what we are promised.

[The Brewmaster]

"Just Add Water, whose popular retro-styled PSN shooter Gravity Crash is being released on the PSP soon this month, specializes in digital distribution, and like Gravity Crash the upcoming Oddworld games will not be released on physical media."

Found this on OddBlog not released on physical media, thoughts on this? if true.

Good going. You just jinxed it.

Sounds like a Live Arcade release to me. Now, that's fucking exciting.

[The Brewmaster]

There still is a possibility then that we could play the new Oddworld games on the PS3 by downloading them from the PSN store yes they did say the new game wouldn't be on the PS3 but does downloading from the Network mean that it is a PS3 game?

If the digital distribution is true by the way.

[OANST]

Yes. PSN games are considered PS3 games.

It just seems that the 360 is conspicuously absent from that list of places that the game won't be.

[Wil]

If the digital distribution is true by the way.

Well since they're not releasing physical media, I'd like to know what other alternatives they can use.

I'm praying everything will be available on Steam. I haven't had a games console since 2005 and I have no particular desire to get one now, Oddworld game or not.

[Crashpunk]

Out of intrest, Do you think the New Oddworld Games will be for Xbox 360 only, i really hope not.

[Mikaeel]

Brand new oddworld titles are coming:

Sure looks that way but like OANST mentioned it might be X-Box Live Arcade download only but like Max suggested i hope it comes out on Steam so people without an X-box 360 can enjoy the new Oddworld games.

[ODDREN]

so. it seems, that there'll be only PSN, Steam or Apple Store distribution of these oddworld-minis?

[OANST]

They could easily be on Steam, as well. But you never know. If the game is coming out on Live Arcade and not coming out on PSN, then it might be the case that Microsoft wanted it as an exclusive. This is all speculation, of course.

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

i'm not worrying about that as i have a 360.
and oddworld minis, are they minigames? i hope not, either way, i'm still really excited.

[PuddiinLOL :]]

So if it comes out on Live arcade it will be one of those crappy little games ? -.-

i really hope they just make it for Xbox and Ps3 and release it as a game you can buy in a shop.

yeah thats excactly how i feel, i think they should just do a massive 2.5d game featuring abe, not loads of shitty little games.

Crappy little games? Some of the best games this generation have been Live Arcade and PSN games. Braid? 'Splosion Man? Shadow Complex? Flower? Pixeljunk Eden? These are not crappy little games.

[GlukkonGluk]

Pahaha! YES! "All your favourite characters"!! Well, that MUST mean Abe, surely! I'm so happy, i could just sit here and cry! STITCH LIPS IS COMING BACK!

EDIT: If microsoft have made it Xbox exclusive, then my tears will no longer be of joy

[The Brewmaster]

Only time will tell really

no but you wouldnt want oddworld being like them, if you know what i mean.
and glukkongluk, i feel the same way, ABE!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just hope its a full single game, not a mini arcade.

[OANST]

Yes, I would want Oddworld to be like them, and no, I don't know what you mean.

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

well, if its on arcade, its gonna be small, its not gonna be released on its own disc, and it wont have that feel to it.
