So it's a platformer about not being on a platform. That's deep, man.

Lanning said he will consider partnering with a publisher to help get on Xbox, but "it has to make sense" in terms of revenue share.
Right now, though, this seems unlikely.
"I've had people tell me, 'dude, just go up there, you're losing millions of dollars.' You know what? Oddworld wasn't built on selling out."
If the company can't strike a deal with a publisher, it'll have to rely on Microsoft changing its policies.
Microsoft's games boss Phil Spencer told Eurogamer this week that Xbox was open to the idea of self-publishing in the future. "Our ears are open on self-publishing and other changes and advancements in our publishing ecosystem," he said, "but I don't want to stand up and commit to things that aren't plan of record now. That would be wrong."

I fucking hate every single one of these stupid games.
I just had to get that out.
Scrolling feels really weird in this. I'll probably get used to it though.
I'll probly get hell for using this old thread, but I didn't think it was worth making a new thread. I had to just get this off my chest...
I got Munch's Oddyssey and Stranger's Wrath for free through PSN. I was a fan of Oddworld but didn't bother with Munch when it first came out because it seemed kinda blah, and the Xbox in-store demo didn't help. It was all about Halo back then.
I finally got around to giving Munch a try and I couldn't believe how terrible it was. I never played Donkey Kong 64 but all I know is people complaining about collecting shit. It looks like Munch is a game designed completely around the objective of collecting shit! This is something that possibly could've worked in the previous generation where there was a certain novelty to just moving around in 3d. To be fair, I think there was some glints of interesting gameplay with the Abe segments, which just attempted to translate the Abe gameplay to 3d.
In an older thread Frogacuda mentioned that he thought Munch was underrated and I could imagine there being something more worthwhile later in the game. But the game starts so dull, I just deleted it to play something that's actually fun. Can anyone tell me what's good in the game?
I was looking forward to Strangers Wrath back in the day but never got to play it. I played a bit and seemed to be a huge improvement over Munch, but nothing about the gameplay really compelled me to keep playing it either.
I love the world of these games, I wish the gameplay would do more to keep me interested in them enough to keep playing.
Munch's Oddysee is pretty bad.
Stranger's Wrath is great, though.
