I have some intresting info on when we might see Steef! Must view this all fans!

paramiteabe · #1 10-16-2003, 11:27 PM

Guys I don't know about you but I am excited. I was at my local game store which is called "Game Spot" and I knew there wasn't any info on Steef in Magazines but something odd compelled me to ask the store Clerk to print out a copy of the list of all games comming out in 2004. Well I get this list of all the X-Box games and lone and behold in the rainy month of April I see Oddworld!.

But it says "Oddworld Munch's Oddysee 2" What is that all about?

Munch's Oddysee 2? could that be Steef or could it be something we don't know yet? I will let you guys decide. Here are the pictures.

And here is when this so called Munch's Oddysee 2 is comming out! I highlighted it so you can see.

Wow! PA, you are da man!

Anyway, since MO wasn't all Lorne, or any of us, wanted it to be, maybe OWI is releasing a second part of MO.....to complete what was lost. That would be very cool indeed!

I can't wait to see what everyone else says about this!

Nice to have an actual date to look forward to now. But I doubt it's literally Munch's Oddysee 2...I think that's just a placeholder name like OW4. Although that would be nice, Oddguy, I seriously doubt that's the case.

Majic · #5 10-17-2003, 02:49 AM

Ah... OW4. WHo the hell cares about taht when Doom III is on the list

And is the store Game Spot or Gamestop? There's potnetial to get thoses names mixed up. If its Gamestop, no one should care... They freaking gip you.

Get this; I'm in there looking at used PSX games (the only cheap things there) and these people come in needing a new Kingdom Hearts disk (old one was damaged by dog). The price of a used one, with no gurantees on manual, case, etc... is like $5 less than a brand new one. These people were obviously uneducated, and thought there must have been a pricing mistake. No sane person would pay $5 less just to get a used copy of something instead. Gamestop is a bunch of freaking commies.

***Alcar*** · #6 10-17-2003, 04:20 AM

Oooo, this is good news! Great work PA!

depthsofodd · #7 10-17-2003, 08:58 AM

Wow i hope this date is correct, i was under the impression that it would be out in December 2004 for xmas, i think they mentioned it in the Discovery Special... but who knows maybe they will release it earlier.. we can only hope...

Mojo · #8 10-17-2003, 09:29 AM

This would be great, though I can hardly imagine OWI is already THAT far with the new game...

AMEN! heheh.

THis sounds very suspisious. OWI has given NO hint as to the game being completed. It sounds like maybe this is the date they originally gave to retailers for OW4 just to appease them, but I would be surprised if they push that date back. Or maybe its the date of the bonus game? But then I'm not sure they are doign a bonus game for Munch.

Still, always nice to hope for it.

now that DOOM III date......(I'll probably get the X-Box port, although my computer could handle the PC version, it wouldn't do it an justice....but my FRIEND'S system could, heheheh, so I'll probably be hanging around his place a lot whenever it ocmes out)

ok, back to Munch's Oddyssee 2.

Well Majic its called GameSpot not GameStop. I go to this place all the time. I diden't get the names mixed up I can definetly assure you that. There is no GameStop in my area there is places called Funco Land, Video Game Exchange, and GameSpot, and then the big stores like Target, Walmart, and BestBuy. I usually get my games at BestBuy because they have the best prices on games in town I think. GameSpot was in the Mall and I was just in there checking out magazines and I just had to ask. But yeah I wouldn't hold my breath quite yet but it is intresting that we have this place holder for Oddworld. You could maybe go to your places and ask for a print out of all the X-Box games comming out in 2004 and you could get the same results. I don't know but thats what they handed me yesturday. But notice they dident give a specific date in April. That alone could mean that the possible date for this could not be set quite yet and that it could very easily change in 5 to 6 months from now. Maybe thats what they are looking at as a possible release time but will change if necessary. Yeah speaking of other titles I can't wait till Driver 3 comes out. I heard that will be so much better then the first two. I am looking forward to that.

***Cloverfield*** · #11 10-17-2003, 01:00 PM

Did I hear Kingdom Hearts??? Sephy!!!!

I always thought GameSpot was an online gaming website ... but then again the only US game stores I know are EB and GameStop. LOL

Anyways, that is awesome news!!! I would think that if it is indeed a correct release date (and I can't see why it wouldn't be if it's from a gaming store ... they are usually pretty accurate unless something gets pushed back) ... I would say that it's just what it's being called. You know, how a lot of the stuff about the next game has been kept under wraps, they are probably doing the same thing here as well ... calling it Munch's Oddysee 2 so that people will "expect" Munch's Oddysee ... but in reality it won't be ... it will be something else.

Alright, maybe it has nothing to do with Munch, but if that is the new date for OW4, then I'm still excited baby! Whoooooo!

***Wil*** · #13 10-17-2003, 03:12 PM

Woo! Only slightly over half a year to go! Provided this is accurate, that is. I agree that MO: 2 is most likely what the store is calling OW4.

:

This would be great, though I can hardly imagine OWI is already THAT far with the new game...

Munch's Oddysee was released November 2001, meaning the entire OWI team have been able to have been working on it for nearly two years - that's plenty enough time to produce a game (the next 6 months included). On the other hand, we all know OWI love to spend plenty of time caring about the production of their games, but on the other hand remember the design team were of course able to begin work while the programmers and marketing team were putting the finishing touches on the game and packaging. But, on the first hand again, I'm pretty sure OWI were also exploring ME following MO's completion.

On a third hand, maybe OWI really have produced a bonus game for Munch's Oddysee, in which case I shall have to lie down for a bit.

But great find, PA, well done.

Molluck · #14 10-17-2003, 04:57 PM

Either way I'm happy, We have a date when it MAY be released and that is good enough for me for now, as long as it comes out in 2004 I'll be patient.

Yeah speaking of other titles I can't wait till Driver 3 comes out. I heard that will be so much better then the first two. I am looking forward to that.

Yeah, Thats coming out soon, I know the woman who did the voice casting for it, that was a while back...

CarboN · #15 10-17-2003, 06:56 PM

Could that munch oddysee 2 be the munch oddysee for gba?

***Wil*** · #16 10-17-2003, 07:17 PM

That's already out in the US.

oddguy · #17 10-17-2003, 09:35 PM

Munch's Oddysee 2 doesn't even exist on GBA.

LOLLLLLLLLL

Well I am really exited now. I believe OW do take a long time with their games, so perhaps they are trying to speed up a little for the fans...?! (Maybe...

)

I think the next title will NOT be MO2, b/c MO was a big flop with the OW community... so there

GrigtheSlig · #19 10-18-2003, 03:16 AM

Cool! This is news to me! I haven't been on in a while... Anyway, on with my question...

DId it have another Oddworld game on it, like "Oddworld: Steef's Oddysee" If not, i'm guessing that's just what they're gonna call Steef's game... But that's just a guess.

It will not be called Steef's Oddysee, since it is not part of the Quintology.

Ah... OW4. WHo the hell cares about taht when Doom III is on the list

or Halo 2

but just april...it'll probably be delayed.

***Xavier*** · #22 10-18-2003, 01:37 PM

I'm away for one day and see what happen
well I don't think I have anything to add, simply that's a great news!!! well done PA

Nath · #23 10-18-2003, 01:42 PM

I've just today finished MO on the GBA. And at the end of it, the almighty raisin tells munch and abe to go on a well earned vacation. So i can't imagine seeing them anytime soon.
This game was just too easy, apart from the levels that i got stuck on for a couple of days.

So with OW4 I hope it is april it comes out on, the four games that i've got just wont satisfy me for another year.

Fez · #24 10-18-2003, 05:45 PM

nice find PA, bravo.

Nope that was the only Oddworld game on the list. Whats strange about it is that it says Munch's Oddessy 2 and there is no indication of Steef or Oddworld 4. Just Munch's Oddessy 2. Very suspicious I have to say don't you think?

Jacob · #26 10-18-2003, 07:12 PM

Nath, you're advertising Paedophilia...why?

picturey · #27 10-18-2003, 07:46 PM

yes! DOOM III!thanks for the info! JUNE!?!? THATS MY BIRTHDAY!

oddguy · #28 10-18-2003, 07:54 PM

PA, have you sent Alf any questions on your discovery yet? I'm curious to see what those guys at OWI have to say.

-oddguy

***Wil*** · #29 10-18-2003, 08:05 PM

*fails to find anything in Nath's post that could promote paedophilia* My brains have been fully wracked for this evening, I fear. Anyone care to explain? Mind you, I'm currently listening to the Sperm Song, which very clearly advocates necrophilia.

Alf... dang, I forgot to thank Alf for the stickers. I hope my forgetfulness isn't confused for ingratitude.

Actually no I dident but now that you mentioned it I might aswell. Then again if he is in on OWI's secret he might not answer my question at Dear Alf. But I will give it a try anyway. I will do it tomarrow though I am too lazy at the moment right now hehe.
