One of my buddies from Mudos is saying hi tomorrow #Oddworld

Seems promising that at least -something- will be happening tomorrow.
Could be Alf, could be Munch, could be Bigface, could be Shaman from Munch's Oddysee, could be some new chump... could be cancelled.

This 'buddy' better announce something substantial. I'm sick of all the:
"It's coming soon! Not much longer now!

"

It could be Stranger...

But Stranger's Wrath wasn't on the continent of Mudos or was it?

(Looking into some of the maps but can't seem to find it out, still think I read somewhere that Stranger's Wrath was on another continent on Oddworld.)

Edit: Woot! 1000th post!

Edit2: Did a bit more research, turns out I was wrong, Abe's Oddysee, Abe's Exoddus and Munch's Oddysee take place in Eastern Mudos, And Stranger's Wrath takes place in Western Mudos.

Would be funny if Stranger said Hi together with Abe haha!

Looks that way. Shame it's not on PC, though.

MuMI · #**666** 09-03-2010, 04:13 AM

WTF?!
Shouldn't it be in 2.5D?
This won't be for sure!

***Nate*** · #**667** 09-03-2010, 05:06 AM

IF you're talking about the Stranger remake, of course it won't be in 2.5D. JAW are working on multiple projects for Oddmobb, you know.

MuMI · #**668** 09-03-2010, 05:19 AM

Sure Stranger remake won't be in 2.5D duh, but the 2.5D news came first than Stranger remake for PS3, so I was expecting the first new game would be in 2.5D!

Anyways, Gilrod already said Stranger remake is just to bring Oddworld back to the PlayStation and to get more time to work on other projects related to Oddworld!

Jordan · #**669** 09-03-2010, 05:39 AM

Is anyone else really disappointed in the news?

A little bit, yeah! :/

Well, I doubt I'll be purchasing it.
I haven't had a PS3 for a year and a half; if it was a new game for the PS3, then I would most likely go out and repurchase myself a PS3, but a remake hasn't convinced me.

Which is a shame because I kinda want as much money to be made of this project as possibly can, so we can get more games out of JAW & OM.

Perhaps I'll throw some change into OddMobb's charity collection box on the way out.

Jordan · #**672** 09-03-2010, 06:10 AM

If it was a new game that was PS3 exclusive I'd be even more disappointed. I got the Xbox purely because MO and SW were released on them. I would not buy a PS3 if the new games were released for that.

Oh, I just meant the PS3 is just my preference, and I'd go back to it if they had a game available for it - which I'd hope wasn't exclusive, because I think we've all gotten over that now.
That said, if it was 360 exclusive, I think I'd most likely go and purchase one of them.. Its on my to-purchase list as well, I guess.

I fail to see how anything you said disagrees with what I said. My point was that Microsoft probably make a larger profit off retail games than Arcade games. Also that they only want to pay for the storage and bandwidth of selling large games after they've been sold in stores (thus reducing the number of people who will want to download them).

What I'm saying is that they haven't put anywhere near the amount of effort behind Games On Demand as they have on Arcade games. If this were the case they most likely would make a much bigger deal of it when the list is updated. Plus, GoD games are typically only five dollars more than a premium Arcade game, but cost a hell of a lot more to make. I realize that they have already made back their money at retail, but I'm telling you, Live Arcade is a cash cow for them.

I know that so far you've only really had experience with PSN, which has released some fine games, but it gets nothing like the support that Live Arcade does. They put a ton of resources into that service, and it pays off for them. There are plenty of games on Live Arcade that perform better than full retail releases.

***Nate*** · #**675** 09-03-2010, 06:35 AM

Okay, but I still don't see how you're disagreeing with me. So what that they support XBLA well? I was simply saying that probably they make more money out of a retail game than an Arcade game.

DWeedMan · #**676** 09-03-2010, 06:58 AM

Sigh...

If it was a 2.5D remake of both the Playstation Oddworld games being released on Xbox 360 and PS3, I'd be jumping with joy, but as it is, I'm not too interested. Especially considering the fact I don't own a PS3. But at least we know Oddworld should be coming back.

KraZidave · #**677** 09-03-2010, 07:10 AM

Whilst waiting for this reveal I felt pretty safe in owning both the ps3 and 360, so Im obviously very happy. I do feel bad for the 360 only people but remember this is just the beginning.

Hazz-JB · #**678** 09-03-2010, 07:14 AM

Sigh, I really hope this isn't the announcement we've been waiting for since July. It would be stupid not to mention fanboyish to assume that even half of us would be interested in a game we've already played simply because it's going to a specific platform.

I know, but I don't think that they do make more money off of a GoD game. Those games might bring a small amount of extra profit from every download, but they aren't getting the amount of downloads that quality Arcade games are getting. If anything, I could see that Microsoft is limiting the size of the Arcade games so that people's hard drives won't fill up as fast, allowing them to download more Arcade games without having to delete the ones that they already own.

I know that at this point, I have had to delete about eighty percent of my games so that I can make room for new games.

I REALLY hope they don't do a 360 exclusive aswell, i want all the Oddworld i can get and i'm sure as hell not buying a 360 again...every time i turn on a 360 i fear that i might be the one to break it...

Gilrod · #**681** 09-03-2010, 12:17 PM

FYI to be a GoD game you have have been released on Disc and sold a specific number of units.

I know. That's what I've been saying.

***Nate*** · #**683** 09-03-2010, 07:38 PM

And what I've been saying was nothing to do with GoD. I was comparing Arcade games to retail, disc-based games.

brechtos · #**684** 09-04-2010, 02:10 AM

I'm stoked that it's coming.
Allot of people never got to play stranger. And the fact that the xbox 360 has that BC BS... .
Now if they only made a boxed version with a special edition that has a statue of stranger with it

Paradigm · #**685** 09-04-2010, 02:35 AM

I bought an Xbox and then later an Xbox 360 just so that I could play Munch's Oddysee. I played Stranger's Wrath and found the game hugely disappointing (because it didn't feature Abe or any of the other familiar Oddworld characters and just didn't feel like a proper Oddworld game). I don't even have a PS3, so this news is very disappointing indeed. 2.5D Abe game or me no likey. Sorry, but that's just my personal preference.

squeak117 · #**686** 09-04-2010, 03:08 AM

So you didn't like the game, solely because it didn't have Abe? It has one of the most original and enjoyable gameplay mechanics ever (in my opinion). You've every reason to give it another chance and not be selective for such silly reasons...

nowtun · #**687** 09-04-2010, 03:09 AM

well seeing as my xbox died soon after i got to the second bounty in strangers wrath I havnt been able to play the original fully so I'm well excited for this release. I also think its a very wise move for JAW to re-make an old oddworld title before moving onto a brand new story (hopefully anyway)

I would of prefered a totaly re-imagining of Munch's oddysee though with all the omitted content that was originaly planned

still cant believe its taken them 13 years to realise that playstation is where oddworld should have stayed.... ah well its back and thats what counts :-D

STM · #**688** 09-04-2010, 06:11 AM

I'm glad it's SW and not MO, ot re-do the game would require an amount of hard work and also it would be weird in my opinion. SW was a better game.

Dynamithix · #**689** 09-04-2010, 11:38 AM

SW indeed was the better one out of the two newest ones.

I completely forgot about Oddbox for a good few months. Damn it, now I have an urge to get it soon as possible.

Fatherbrain30 · #**690** 09-04-2010, 05:09 PM

Better start saving up for a PS3
