Oddbox Releasing This Holiday

[Andrelvis]

Yes! I will finally be able to play Munch and Stranger!

[NovaMan]

I have never played Munch and Stranger.

[MeechMunchie]

Can't imagine how the platforming parts are going to work, though. I think I'm going to stick to playing this with a controller.

It's funny, I always found platformers much easier with mouselook. Then again, I was pretty much born with a keyboard under my forearms.

[AvengingGibbons]

Just to let you know, you can make your PS3 controller work with a computer, but it's not got official support.. http://www.gamefront.com/how-to-use-...oller-on-a-pc/

Please let us know if there is more up-to-date software for doing this, becuase when I tried this, it was annoying having to disable driver signing every time I booted Windows :/

EDIT: You can use an Xbox360 controller with a computer too, but I've never tried it.

[lismati]

You can use WiiMote with a PC if you want. (Just play with GlovePie)

It's pretty cool. Haven't had a chance to test it on more than 2D platformers, though - my laptop isn't powerful enough for more computer-intensive games.

[brechtos]

Yaaaaaay
Strange that they did not wait for the SW remake to get finished. But hey in the meantime the original will get some nice lovin

ooooh, I have to try this one.

[Nate]

With a little bit of soldering (or, if you're not feeling adventurous, the purchase of a dongle), you can even use the original Xbox controller on a PC.

With a little bit of soldering (or, if you're not feeling adventurous, the purchase of a dongle), you can even use washing machine on a PC.

Fix'd

[Jango]

Will there be achievements on it too? If so, I'm definitely going to buy it.

[Wil]

There will be achievements for MO and SW, not AO or AE.

[Jango]

There will be achievements for MO and SW, not AO or AE.

Hmm. Ok, thanks. I'm not sure whether I will buy it in that case. How much will it cost? (in £ of course).

[Wil]

Unknown.

[Crashpunk]

There will be achievements for MO and SW, not AO or AE.

How come there isn't going to be Achievements for AO and AE? didn't they say that they would be?

[Manco]

They did, but then they found out how incredibly difficult it was to add new things to AO and AE.

Or something like that.

Thanks for the heads up! This has been reported on OddBlog.

[Jordan]

£15 is actually awesome!

[Viper45]

Wow, $24.99 is an amazing price. I sure hope they release this before December 20th. The 20th is the begining of Steam's huge holiday sale where they usually put nearly everything in their store on discount. The sale will most likely run through New Years. If the Oddbox is released during that sale, I think it could be easily overlooked and lose many of its initial sales.

[enchilado]

YEEAAAH FUCK YEEAAAH

OH MY

[K100]

I can't wait !

[Dynamithix]

A special holiday gift? Whoopee!

[Varrok]

It doesn't look like it's much cheaper for those who bought AO & AE earlier :<

[STM]

Now to nag my mum, and if she won't get it, guys, it would make my Christmas if you donated the game to my account! '-'

[Scraby]

[Jordan]

This is getting more exciting.
