Thanks Grandi, haven't seen this one.

Thanks, Grandi. We reported it on OddBlog a few days ago, but must have forgotten to make a thread about it.

p.s. Topic needs a better title.

LL: Something's next and we haven't been talking about it. We've tried releasing information really early -- Munch's Oddysey was the best example of that and we've learned some lessons there. We've tried holding information back until almost the last minute and we've learned some lessons there. Ideas and innovation are like a fetus in the womb. There's a reason no one gets to see the baby for nine months. Ideas incubate in privacy better, longer. We have been taking a while (with Oddworld) and that is disappointing to some fans. But we believe if we deliver excellence, they'll be thrilled. All is forgiven if you do it right.

I find that bit quite interesting. I definately think he's right about both MO and SW in the way that they released information.

Our interfaces are really behind. Really, as we're walking down the street, our MySpace page should be floating around us.

Lorne hasn't seen Wall-E.

...Or maybe he has!?

The release of information in the build up to Stranger's Wrath is an interesting one because they unveiled major plot points (like the fact he is a quadruped Steef) in the first game announcement.
And then proceeded to pretend it never happened.

But I'm sure he's talking more about release of information to non-fans, who mostly didn't see/remember X-Factor

I'm not quite sure I'd like to see myspace pages floating around my head when I'm walking down the street... must be annoying as hell.

I’m presuming he’s going to let us turn them off if we wish.
