oddworld: abe's oddysee

[thecoreyhlltt]

does anyone remember these oddworld games from the late 90's?
they made 7 titles, (2 on ps1, 3 on gb/gba, and 2 on xbox) and i'd like to think i wasn't the only one who thoroughly enjoyed this adorable and suprisingly fun/addictive game.

i think the developers at oddworld inhabitants should dust off this series and launch a new title...
What do you *points finger at whoever is reading this* think??

Remember, but never owned. They were on sale on Steam during the OH GOD MY WALLET sale.

Unless my mind is playing tricks on me, I think a new oddworld game was announced recently.
Try googling it; I have to go to bed.

Edit: I did play Munch's odysee as a child. I don't know if I ever managed to finish it.

Yes I do think they should reboot it. I only really played the ps1 games but I am enjoyed them quite a lot. Definitely would be a change of pace in the current gaming enviroment. Although one thing I do kinda worry about is they haven't made a game in awhile so they might not have enough innovations to bring something good enough to warrant more games.

only played the first one and got stuck halfway through it.

yes, they are planning to revive the series. JAW(just add water) is doing a remake of strangers wrath said to be released in easter of 2011.

"Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is the first project in what we believe will be a long and fruitful relationship. Having the chance to update this great title and release it on PS3 is just a brilliant opportunity, not least for us, but for the fans too." -JAW's Stewart Gilray

well thats good news, i guess i'll have to break down and get a ps3 then (currently rocking a ps2...)

yeah for oddworld though

I remember playing it and being absolutely dumbfounded. I'm not sure it would age well.

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

do you remember which one you played? cause i think the best titles were the 2 that were on ps1... the others on xbox and gba were a little too happy-go-lucky for my taste, and not enough sad story and tragedy.

if anybody knows where to find old ps1 games for cheap lemme know, i'm looking for the two oddworld games and FFVII

The oddworld games were absolutely awesome! One of the most under-rated series of all time. I still play Abe's Exoddus on the PS1 and consider it one of the best games I've ever played.

Yes, loved these and plan on re-buying them on PSN so I can play them all over again. Wonderful and quirky series with a really excellent storyline.

I couldn't agree more
