Strangers Wrath HD is out -

okay, just to clear things up. If we do end up in a situation where some extra stuff is in one version of the game but not in the other, rest assured that we will work towards making them all equal and the same as soon as is permissible.

That's more of a reason to add it to the PS3 version and not the PC. Bear in mind that the PC HD update is also being syphoned to people who have already bought it.

My thinking with that was if the PS3 more or less flopped then why would they spend more money on developing extra content for it. Also, if the PS3 version flopped, then they are possibly trying to shoehorn in additional content for the pc release that may make people slightly more interested in buying it.

Not saying that I'm right.

Stranger PS3 certainly didn’t flop.

OANST · #**214** 02-15-2012, 11:07 AM

WELL ALRIGHT THEN STOP YELLING AT ME

OANST IS SUCH A FRAGILE FLOWER

"We spoke with Stewart Gilray of Just Add Water who explains the team worked hard to reduce the game's file size which now sits at a respectable 1.95 GB - nicely under the 2GB limit. To accomplish this they have used modern codecs which cut the 650 MB audio down to just 465 MB all the while offering improvement over the original recordings. They've also reduced the quality of the CGI movies slightly, resulting in a further reduction of 175 MB. Coupled with some additional tweaks to the characters and environments (which are still being worked on we're informed), has resulted in the game being a suitable size for XBLA. What's more Stewart confirms, the game is pretty much identical on both console platforms."

Sorry if this is old news but I didn't know JAW worked on reducing the file size. Here's hoping for an XBLA release.

You ever see that interview Lorne did on Stranger's Wrath multiplayer?

EarlyHalloween · #**218** 02-21-2012, 10:22 AM

Nope, I haven't.

***Wil*** · #**219** 02-21-2012, 02:03 PM

I remember, but I can't find it back. Can you remember anything else about it?

When moving forward with the OddBox, we started getting some rather grand ideas. One of these was to create a multiplayer component for Stranger's Wrath. We've always been interested in bringing people together with media that has the power to question social standards, so yeah, multiplayer was kind of a no brainer.

We put together a team, and we went to work. I'm not going to get into too many specifics, but I'll say this. We finished it. We finished it, and we loved it. We made some fantastic multiplayer. Then we put it into beta. For a very short time on Steam, when you downloaded a certain game, you received the multiplayer beta of Stranger's Wrath with it. This is where things went wrong. We put it into the hands of the people, and it was an eye opening experience.

After the third time that I was called a "hippy faggot", I decided to pull the plug. No more multiplayer from this hippy faggot. No, sir. We are also cancelling our foray into social networking. I have realized, finally, that people are degenerates, and should never be allowed to communicate with each other.

Found it.

^Sounds fimiliar,

Just sayain.

Sekto Springs · #**222** 02-21-2012, 06:18 PM

What exactly could he have added to the SW multiplayer that would evoke that kind of response? Did he replace bullets with flowers?

There I fix'd it.

... Wait a minute... Is Stranger's Wrath HD out for PC yet? If not how long will it take from now?

Sekto Springs · #**224** 02-21-2012, 06:55 PM

It's been out on PC for a while.

EarlyHalloween · #**225** 02-21-2012, 08:05 PM

Whoa, that doesn't sound like him at all. It's really saddening to know that some ignorant comments could deter him from something like that completely.

sheridanm962 · #**226** 02-21-2012, 08:16 PM

I'd say.

***Wil*** · #**227** 02-22-2012, 01:04 AM

In the case of OANST vs. The Gullible, OANST is awarded full custody of the lulz.

And Stranger's Wrath HD is not out on PC yet.

xD

It'd be great if the loading time could be decreased when after Stranger dies. It seems a bit unnecessarily long considering the local environment is usually conviniently already loaded in some cases where you die almost instantly.

Wasn't Nodd going to be playable?

Dipstikk · #**230** 02-22-2012, 04:23 AM

I'm almost positive that I remember the text quoted by OANST was meant as a prank.

MeechMunchie · #**231** 02-22-2012, 05:03 AM

Well duh. It just links back to Wil's post.

You realize you can press B after waiting like 2 seconds after Stranger's death to just skip to the loading screen, right?

Sekto Springs · #**233** 02-22-2012, 05:12 PM

lol...

A nice interview with Stew Gilray about the upcoming Stranger updates

OANST · #**235** 02-24-2012, 10:19 AM

It's so weird to read interviews about Oddworld stuff, and actually have some idea of what's going on by the end of it.

MeechMunchie · #**236** 02-24-2012, 03:37 PM

How long are you planning on pushing that joke for?

o_o.. poo.. No, I did not..

What's the B equivalent on Playstation?

(Thanks)

It should hopefully be the same button as the reload-ammo button, but I could be wrong. :\

Until I'm done with it.

Then you can have it.
