"Developer Oddworld Inhabitants' next game is now officially attached to a publisher. Referred to informally as "Stranger," the game is set in the Oddworld universe but isn't actually a part of the studio's notorious quintology. The game will be published worldwide by Electronic Arts Partners (EAP), a business unit of Electronic Arts. EAP will make the news official later today. "

I hope the XBOX does'nt get watered down version due to this.But I think a new team will take the PS2 version and do what they can for it.I have heard from the Oddworld site forums dedicated fan base that the game is unbelievable,we shall see.There should be major news on it within two weeks,it supposedly went alpha.Shoul see it by september.:buttrock:

I think the XBOX version has first priority, but I think this team won't neglect any of the versions...they will both be equally great...but I think the XBOX version will just look a bit better...

I can't wait for this game...I'm so curious about the new first person concept...I WANT IT NOW!!!

That s the problem. They may make it look a bit better but thats how it always is with ps2/xbox products. Just look at Psi-Ops. It could have been quite amazing had it been developed soley with a xbox in mind. But now all the difference is is slightly sharper graphics.

Most titles that go both to xbox/ps2 are watered down on the xbox but just slightly a step up above the ps2. Not that developers cant completely redo it and make it look excellent, its just that its to much money to completely code a different/better engine.

I heard at E3 that a whole new team will be takin the PS2 version.And my cousin sw the thing running behind the scenes,she is a fan of the year over at Oddworld.And she shes the ingame are pretty much what we saw of the cut scenes of munch.Plus it's your choice 1st or 3rd,the way it should be,they both have advantages.Either way it will be sweet.:) :eek:
