Just Add Water have been fighting a battle since 2010 to bring Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath to XBLA, but Microsoft seem to be fighting ever step of the way. Now Stewart Gilroy, CEO of Just Add Water, offers a brief comment on the war.
17 years after its initial release, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has returned -- and has never been better than this.
If you missed the news, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is out now on the Switch via the Nintendo eShop. But there’s a physical edition that is now available for pre-order at Amazon.
As one of the last major releases for the original Xbox, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is also one of the most memorable games on the system, taking the series to new places with a cross between third-person platforming and first-person shooting. With its unique weapons system, open-ended mission design and fascinating story, it's a game that always felt special and still holds up today - and it's recently received an impressive Switch conversion.
Wow talk about being arrogant retards.
@Below yea M$ guess i should have worded my statement better>_<.
Wasn't the original reason why Microsoft refuses to publish the game because they demanded that it be exclusive to XBLA or that it be released day and date with the PSN version?
Well if that's the case then just release it for PSN and forget about XBL.
In the future if this is the whole story Just Add Water should with hold their future games from 360.
Would love to hear the other side of this story though. Would like to hear from MS their version of this story.
Stuart is awesome on psnation podcast when he is a guest.
That's a shame. I had this on the original Xbox and loved it. The remake is fairing pretty well in terms of reviews too. It's weird it was a Xbox exclusive last gen, now it looks to be a PS3 exclusive this gen (until a PC version of course). I think this is due to the blog post on PlayStation when it was first announced and it not being on the 360 first. Wasn't the XBLA version of Portal larger than 2GB?
