Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Gets HD Remake.... Just For PS3?! *UPDATE*

[Banderbear]

Actually, the original was a Playstation 1 exclusive, so was the second. The 3rd and 4th were Gameboy Exclusives, the 5th was an Xbox Exclusive, the 6th was a GBA exclusive, and the 7th was an Xbox Exclusive. Looks like this series gets around.

Technically the Gameboy & Gameboy Advance games were ports of the console games rather than games in their own right.

Officially only 2 of the games officially make up what would have become 'The Oddworld Quintet'; Abe's Odyssey & Munch's Odyssey. Exodus & Stranger's Wrath were 'bonus titles' as originally each game in the quintet was going to have at least 1 bonus title to bridge the gap between the games (if any of you still have the original manual for Abe's Odyssey you can look it up they set it all out in there). However, after Munch's Odyssey did less well than expected (I believe due to swapping over to Xbox despite originally being slated as a PS2 game and changing the 2d for 3d) they were forced to scrap the idea somewhat. Shame, Oddworld was a cool setting and the idea of a complete 5 game arc set there, complete with at least 5 bonus games really excited me when I was younger and playing them for the first time.

Is it going to be full price? If not then yes, and I will enjoy every minute. If not, I can wait awhile.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Interested. Why? Because it's a remake, and those don't always end well.

 

[Hiphophippo]

No shit? I was always sad I didn't get to play that game. Heard it was great. Looks like I'll get to after all.

Oddworld used to be a PC and PS exclusive, it was a big hit going to x-box for me. I have to say that I enjoy it being for PS3 now I can finally play the "Quintollogy" if they come out with a plausible 3 4 or 5. Sorry X-box user

the first and 2nd were also on PC

The only oddworld games I'd be interested in seeing remade would be HD versions of the first two with Abe in them, change nothing but make the graphics and sounds purty and that's enough for me.

I heard rumours of a PC release in PC gamer a while back, maybe on steam.
