The Updates are coming!

[quidproquo]

Its just about april and i cant wait for oddworld's site updates. I think something exciting and new may be revealed to us. I just set up this thread so people can respond to the sites updates!

[Alcar]

I hope they reveal more information. Lorne mentioned that he had some very interesting news concerning Oddworld, so, who knows.

The updates are coming! Proof that Oddworld Inhabitants are updating their website still: http://www.oddworld.com/oddworld/company/ow_press.html There are two new entries for March 30th. As well as what award Oddworld Inhabitants one at: http://www.oddworld.com/oddworld/company/ow_awards.html

In case no one has seen (as I didn't want to double post, so I edited it instead, meaning it won't put it as a new post for those that already saw the original), I have found an image of Oddworld Inhabitants' booth as GDC 2004: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showpo...2&postcount=52

[Havoc]

exiting... You guys think there will be any news on the new quinto game or just on stranger?

[Wil]

The new Quintology game? As I understand it, that's a fair way off. Assuming OWI release Stranger in time for Christmas, it's then only possible that Munch's Exoddus (or whatever the next Quintology title turns out to be) will then enter production. Lorne is adamant that the Quintology requires suitable technology in order for it to be decently portrayed in games, so maybe we'll have to wait until the next generation of games consoles, although I sincerely hope it's much sooner than that.

EDIT: Having said that, the production design team usually starts working on one project while the afore one is still going through programming.

plz plz plz update the website i need more info, your killing me here

[Xavier]

I don't think I will see any info before I return the 9 april
sad...

[Esus]

They probably wont update the site before the 9th. Remember, the February update hit the site on the 7th or so...

[Nath]

D. Caste Raider, pack Rat Palooka, Blistrz Booty, Filthy Hands Floyd, Meagly McGraw, Flint "Explosive" McGee, Mortimer Bang, and The Looten Duke.

I've never heard of these names before, but I got them off ign.com when they sent me an e-mail about oddworld info.

[oddguy]

Awesome pic of the GDC booth, Alcar. Can't wait for more.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Wrong so wrong!

Updated NOW AHAHAAHA

Ok, calm down nathan.

*takes deep breath*

Sorry but when I first noticed the update I bounced around on my chair for a few minutes making happy sounds. I had only checked it 10 minutes before but they must have uploaded it at 9am AEST (or 3pm SLO time).

That said there isn't really anything new. A few standard Alf questions (standard meaning someone who doesn't know anything about Oddworld asks something pointless and Alf makes something up to avoid giving an answer. He's a lovable rogue isn't he?) and an inhabitants interview. The closest thing to a scoop is that John Hood (the inhabitant profile) mentions D. Caste Raider but seeing that Nath just mentioned that name it isn't so amazing

Come on Oddworld Inhabitants! Give us some meat to chew on! But remember to provide some tofu for the vegetarians.

ps do we know which name goes for which character? I think someone mentioned seeing character cards at GDC

[Fuzzles!]

Oh my thank you for the update!!! I am just dying for info and of course the game!!!!!!!!

[Oddsville]

Well from what I've seen there isn't too much info on the next game but I still have yet to read the Inhabitants interview. Its nice however, to finally have at least some updates!

[oddguy]

Also, OW.com has the Polygon OW issue in PDF format for download.

OWW updated: http://www.oddworld.au.com/main.htm

..Is anyone else curious about this? Perhaps an "Easter egg" yet to be discovered?

[Esus]

ooh, I like the downloadable magazine...

[Hobo]

"I hate reading misinformed media." - From Max, a forums member. Aaaahhh, bitter, cynical, tasty!
Yay.

[Al the Vykker]

Man Alf's question answers this month were great, I was laughing up a storm.

"Q: Will you be thinking about doing an abe trilogy just to top it off?

Alf: Well, I like to think more along the Alf trilogy lines, Alf's Oddysee, Alf's Exoddus, Alf's Wagon Trip. Then maybe the prequel series, The Alfster's Menace, Attack of the Scones, and of course, Episode Tea. Like you said, just to top it off."

Priceless, boy that brought a smile to my face.

[Wil]

I'm very surprised Dear Alf is updated... I repeatedly refreshed that page just minutes ago and was upset that it was still full of last month's questions. Damned cache. Even stranger, I completely deleted my cache and haven't visited the page since, until today. What trickery is this?

Good updates, and good to see a new Fan of the Month, and Atusi, congrats on your Fan Photo of the Month! Any spot the skin art section has also been greatly extended?

[oddguy]

Any spot the skin art section has also been greatly extended?

I thought they just added the FOM's tattoos. I rarely go in there anyway.
Oh, and congrats Max on the recognized quote.

-oddguy

[Wil]

Ooh yes, thank you. I'm sure the skin art section was much smaller before, though, with one of the scroll menus found in the Universe section.

Hayley is reporting that Abe Babe turned the Polygon article into a PDF article. Coincidence, misunderstanding, or something I've stupidly overlooked?

[atusiya@]

Mr.LL seems me to be tired....

[quidproquo]

We wait a whole month, and what does oddworld give its loyal fans? NOTHING. Oddworld has taken the exact opposite of the course it took with Munch's Oddysee. Now instead a game being overly-hyped, we don't know anything about it (Stranger) at all. This is just as bad as oddworld's previous error in judgment. They could at least tell us a bit of this and a bit of that. Jeesh!

[paramiteabe]

No they shouldn't tell us anything because they want to surprise us with this new game. They did it with AO they are doing it again. Rest assured OW4 is going be amazeing. Lorne learned from what happened to Munch And he is not doing that again. And besides knowing how much OWI is keeping a lot secret. I am surprised we even have what we got.

[Fez]

"Attention all fans! Inhabitant escapee alert! If you find a loose Inhabitant making irrational comments, stirring up controversy, opening cans of worms and letting cats out of bags, please do not attempt to contain the beast!"

Probably Alfs Assistant, now theres a scary thought.
