Really suprised that EA is leaving GC out of this one as well.

Old news. But you just had to get the little GC jab in there didn't ya?

The games EA developers in house seem to go to all systems, but the ones that EA just publishes seem to end up being the developers choice more than anything.

Lanning didn't hate the PS2 as much as he loved MS money

What a better way to distract from the fact that Xbox has lost another exclusive.

IIRC, MS dumped Oddworld Inhabitants. It's not like Lanning wanted to leave MS's security blanket.

If EA is publishing the game, they can pay the developers to make it for GC. It's more a case of getting the best return on their dollar. I think Oddworld would do pretty well on GC and I wonder if Playstation owners will welcome it's return.

That pic actually looks pretty good.

I wonder if XBox owners will welcome it's return... for that matter I wonder if ANYONE will welcome it's return...

I know the first one did about 1/2 million copies on XBox, but some major XBox franchcises have underperformed in their sequels...

Though I even doubt GCN would be that friendly, but they'd certainly be wise to at open up that user-base to this game...

 

[Rhindle]

Stranger isn't a sequel to anything.

In fact, it looks to be a substantial departure from the Abe/Munch games in terms of gameplay.

 

[SyNapSe]

Yeah, Stranger is an FPS correct? Or something along the shooter line?

 

[Alcibiades]

oh, well, either way it's part of the Oddworld franchise is what I meant, but I don't think moving it from platformer to FPS is going to change excitement much, but maybe XBox owners will take it more seriously now...

 

[Gattsu25]

as long as it doesn't have Munch's gameplay (I personally love the oddworld ...uh... world)

Munch's Odysee was a pretty "fun" game. Quirky with a lot of atmosphere. Something a lot of games lack anymore..

I doubt anything new will sell that great. It will get lost on the PS2, I imagine.
