Oddworld is dead

Pac-Maniac · #1 02-27-2011, 09:10 AM

So who agrees with me? We've had over 9000 empty promises in the past 6 years, a bunch of games rereleased over and over and over again on all different platforms (do hardcore Oddworld fans actually care about the fact that a game that they completed 298 times is now available on another platform), Lorne is now trying to turn Oddworld into a social network (that's not what the good old OW is about and I don't want an Oddchan, thank you very much) and they're all praising small games made with digital distribution (again the complete opposite of the good old OW). I think OWI should just sell the Oddworld IP to some other developer who actually cares about their fans instead of torturing us like that. WBU?

Re-releasing the old games is generating the funding for new games.
Seeing any kind of release from OWI is proof they're still alive and still care about us.
the Antisocial Network has nothing to do with Oddworld, it's an OddMobb project.
What's wrong with digital distribution?
Implying OWI don't care about their fans without any evidence is fun!

I really think you should stop talking, before you get Nate and Max and me and OitB and everyone else in this forum jumping down your throat. Most of us are grateful for the fact that Oddworld is back at all, and with any luck, an Abe's Oddysee HD remake could prove VERY successful financially, and it could kickstart a company that we've all supported over these long years. And who knows, they could go on to make an Exxoddus remake, redo Munch, have another Stranger, possibly even Squeak (one day). Oddworld is NOT dead, and i'd advise you don't post crap like this again.

Wow, I see delusional fanboys like you on sonic forums every day. If Oddworld was not dead then they'd release the damn movie by now, instead of dwelling on the past. Currently they're behaving like conservative old people who just sit there and talk about how great they were "when they were young 'uns". By now everyone who actually cares about Oddworld has probably downloaded and redownloaded all their games 30928 times and are thirsty for something new, but all we get is copypasta.

Manco · #5 02-27-2011, 09:32 AM

Hah, just saw your terrible troll thread in Suggestions.

Get out, you stupid manchild.

I don't want an Oddchan, thank you very much

And yet:

:

I don't get it. It's allowed on other forums such as /b/ so why isn't it allowed here?

Ridg3 · #7 02-27-2011, 09:33 AM

I think that Pac-Maniac is MS1029.

No we haven't.

Yes.

:

No he's not.

:

Who are ‘they’ and to what games are you referring?

:

The would be a terrible idea because

:

Oddworld Inhabitants care about their fans more than any other company does.

Thanks for trying to kick off a good topic of conversation, though.

MeechCrunchies · #9 02-27-2011, 09:38 AM

Where is moot and the mystical ban hammer when you need it?

Wow, this is worse than sonic forums. In EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW Lorne says he wants to make small games that are free to play and wants to do a social network instead of games.
The rest of your claims have no proof, which is why, as I have previously stated, this is worse than sonic forums.

Mikaeel · #11 02-27-2011, 10:04 AM

As much as I'd like to see another release from Oddworld, being patient is something we must learn and understand. Sure they've taken a ling time releasing things in the past few years, but it'll be worth it in the end. They're taking things slow, as any perfectionist would. Aren't they supposedly releasing 4 new titles this year?

I would hate for them to rush something out just to please the die hard fans, that's my view.

Pac-Maniac · #12 02-27-2011, 10:08 AM

Yes, they're supposed to be releasing 4 new games this year. They were also supposed to release citizen siege 2 years ago.

Dynamithix · #13 02-27-2011, 10:15 AM

Oh man, OANST would love you.

Manco · #14 02-27-2011, 10:16 AM

Where is OANST, anyway? He hasn't posted in a while.

Dynamithix · #15 02-27-2011, 10:19 AM

Was wondering the same thing myself.

***Xavier*** · #16 02-27-2011, 10:22 AM

This guy is obviously a troll.

You can check out his other masterpieces such as: Why isn't porn allowed on this forum? or Why is homosexuality accepted before other fetishes

My point is, don't waste your time replying to him and don't fuel this stupid topic.

KraZidave · #17 02-27-2011, 10:27 AM

If you think Oddworld is dead then simply leave this place and move on with your life.

I dont mind feeding the poor trolls, everyone has to eat.

The person saying batshit insane bullshit without proof is you. Go back to Sonic forums if you love them so much.

A release date for Citizen Siege was never announced.

Wow, how does a franchise sink low enough to be continued by fans alone?

Paul · #21 02-27-2011, 10:50 AM

I think pac-maniac should go play Sonic so she doesn't feel the need to Troll 24/7

alluz · #22 02-27-2011, 10:50 AM

Obvious troll do not feed him/her hes dead meat anyway and go play sonic if you don't give a crap oddworld R.I.P

I was talking about the fact that there are "level editors now"...made by fans. Not OWI.
Proff that OWI don't care about the fans.

alluz · #26 02-27-2011, 10:58 AM

Can we close this thread? Why keep fighting this troll! who dosen't stop this bullshit and this littel ''stich lips'' better shut up or ban (If any meens of necessary)

Level editors and other hacking tools appear all the time, despite whether or not the company is still producing material. You see Super Mario World hacks being made to this day and Nintendo are still making games. I don't remember those hacking tools being sourced by Nintendo. Just because level editors are being made it doesn't mean a franchise is dead.

Pac-Maniac · #29 02-27-2011, 11:02 AM

Dude super mario world engine is much easier to use than ALIVE. Meaning OWI doesn't care about the fans so much that the fans actually put the time in to make the ALIVE engine usable.
