Oddworld could come to PSP

forte81 · #1 08-12-2006, 09:42 AM

With sony's latest announcement of a ps1 emulator and downloadable games for the PSP, who would like to see Oddworld 1 and 2 re-released? I think it would be pretty badass.

erwinraaben55 · #2 08-12-2006, 11:10 AM

Yes, I am gonna download them then.

***Xavier*** · #3 08-12-2006, 12:16 PM

if they do this I'm going to buy the PSP for sure

ziggy · #4 08-12-2006, 01:03 PM

yes that would be cool! Do PSP's cost about $150? It would really be worth buying them if the oddworld games were on it.

***Wil*** · #5 08-12-2006, 05:02 PM

I'll stick with what I've got for now. PC + PS = plenty enough opportunity to play, and is a darn sight cheaper than forking out for an entire console for just two games.

Actually, that's pretty much what my Xbox turned out to do. *cough*

ziggy · #6 08-12-2006, 06:31 PM

I think the xbox has much more than 2 good games.

It would be cool to play oddworld on the road

Very cool indeed...

*digs into wallet, finds cash from birthday*
Woo.

***Xavier*** · #9 08-12-2006, 11:32 PM

Heh, max, if I buy the PSP I'll also buy other games on it, like Katamary Damacy or LocoRoco

and maybe also GTA, Splintercell and prince of persie

Zerox · #10 08-13-2006, 03:20 AM

I prefer DS BY FAR. Plus there's numerous games on it I need in my life.
I thought the PSP wasn't very original or anything. And it's analog sticks suck (I even read that in a Playstation magazine). I've already had PLENTY of time to 100% complete both Oddworld games that I have, both rescuing and killing them off.

Fair enough.

I wasn't so much bandying accusations as thinking out loud. Seeing as the only way to justify spending a large amount of money of a PSP is to spend even more money on several games, I think I'll steer clear of that pitfall. Frankly, I think I'm going to give up console gaming until any platform can promise me a decent selection of brilliant titles.

erwinraaben55 · #12 08-13-2006, 07:57 AM

What about mgs in the psp :P, the original psx one, for download, or gran turismo, Damn, evey good psx game, when ever, where ever you want!.

DarkHoodness · #13 08-13-2006, 08:59 AM

Though the thought of having AO or AE playable at any location in the palm of your hand is pretty cool, personally I don't really see the point of buying a PSP just to re-play a game that you already have on a different gaming platform. Even if it's the original 2 Abe games. . . You've probably played them both many times anyway. :P If people get my meaning.

***Wil*** · #14 08-13-2006, 03:00 PM

I hear you, Eddie. Still, if I were to acquire the means at no cost to myself, I wouldn't exactly be indifferent.

Quoted for lies.

***Xavier*** · #16 08-14-2006, 11:58 AM

hobo, please keep this kind of posts for other forums.
You know the xbox has more then 2 good games, so what are you trying to do?

munchman92 · #17 08-15-2006, 03:43 AM

i doubt oddworld would even want to let sony redo the games on the psp as they fell out didnt they?

***Xavier*** · #18 08-15-2006, 03:50 AM

it's not re-do at all

it's simply that the PSP will have a PS emulator, letting you play most of the PS games, and probably including AO and AE.

munchman92 · #19 08-15-2006, 03:52 AM

i didnt reluise i thought they had to redo the games to make it usalbe for the psp . (as you can see i don't own a psp) . it all makes sense now

forte81 · #20 08-15-2006, 02:07 PM

The only thing cooler then Odd 1 and 2 would be a port of munch and stranger to the psp...sadly I doubt that would happen, but they did do munch for the gameboy advanced so who knows.

***Nate*** · #21 08-15-2006, 05:38 PM

The GBA games weren't ports. They were poorly made spin-offs.

forte81 · #22 08-15-2006, 05:49 PM

Umm...the oddworld adventure games for the gameboy and gameboy color respectively were in fact dumbed down versions of the first two odd games right down to the story and so was "munch's oddyssee" for the gba...so there was no spinning off as you put it. The graphics were truly terrible but the games were quite fun.

***Wil*** · #23 08-15-2006, 05:53 PM

Oddworld Adventures and Oddworld Adventures 2 did indeed use the same plot, characters and locations, but it was not a port. It was not translated from the original code, it was created afresh.

Munch's Oddysee for the GBA is actually a spin-off that continues the story from where MO for the Xbox left off. Sort of.

forte81 · #24 08-15-2006, 05:54 PM

Why is there always that one dude on every mesage board who tells you your wrong before doing any homework?...I mean really, does anonymity just make people more argumentative or what?

But I digress. Anyone else want to see stranger or munch on the psp?
The graphics might not be as nice but I am sure the games would still rock.

forte81 · #25 08-15-2006, 05:57 PM

After playing both munches I found that it was not really a spin off, more like a simplification of the original story with minor changes made to it. I really wish the GBA game had a save instead of that dumb password system though.

forte81 · #26 08-15-2006, 06:06 PM

straight from the horses bad breath;

THQ's publishing agreement with Microsoft that gives THQ the opportunity to produce Game Boy Advance editions of key Microsoft products. But whatever charm the impressive-but-dull Xbox adventure had has been nearly completely lost in the translation to handheld; the portable version of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee fails to impress like the console version did, but more importantly it just isn't much fun to play.

Features
Two playable character
More than ten different missions
Password save

Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee is entirely based upon the situations that unfold in the Xbox game, which is, essentially a continuation of Oddworld: Abe's Exodus, a sequel to Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee.

This is from IGN's review

Dude, you're the one that needs to do some homework.

Seconded. forte81, you have triple posted when it was perfectly possible to use the edit button and add to your last post. Please use this button in the future to avoid pointless double posting.

It was definitely simplified. It was essentially “Go to this place and shut it down,” which is the most basic plot of any Oddworld game. The unique story elements that defined the original Munch's Oddysee, such as Abe trying to meet Munch, the rescue of the last can of Gabiar and getting Lulu to go through a series of rapid promotions were not at all present in the GBA incarnation. However, the GBA version of MO did feature the first known instances of Abe piloting a mobile piece of Mudokon technology, and the first time a financial institution on Oddworld has been shut down.

Cullen Heath-"Dude, you're the one that needs to do some homework."

My homework on what? I have said nothing incorrect,and if I did, correct away.
Also I just started posting here just days ago and was unaware I could homogonise my posts. Consider it noted.

***Nate*** · #30 08-15-2006, 08:45 PM

Cullen was pointing out that, since Max is the resident Oddworld Encyclopædia-ist, he doesn't need to do any homework and you should take his corrections in gentle good-humour.
