5 Oddworld questions with the man behind the Stranger's Wrath remake

Bitmob writes "Toby scored an interview with the man behind the remake of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. I haven't played the series, but it's always cool to get a look into the development process, especially from such a passionate gamer."

I'm really looking forward to giving Strangers Wrath another go with PlayStation Move and in HD! It was a rare gem on XBOX and severely overlooked by so many!

But... no just no. Oddworld is not like that. Stranger's Wrath felt like a mash up of different games. While Oddworld was unique with all the old Abe games. I hated all the Xbox versions in 3d. Terrible games.

Hey I do understand your frustration. It was definitely a different change of pace from the PSone Classics, but Strangers Wrath was indeed a fantastic game. A third-person/first-person hybrid that allows you to shoot cute little animals for weapons ammo, it doesn't get much more unique than that, and it does have the environmental feel that the old games did in my opinion.

As a game it was good but as an Oddworld game it wasn't.

Stranger's Wrath was one of the original XBox games I wished I played.

This game, well the original was absolutely BRILLIANT! get it it's one of the best games i ever played. Just hope it gets marketed better this time around, a must have.

Man, I can't wait for more Oddworld games. I think i would have to say munch's oddysee is my favorite though, with SW as #2.

Exoddus deserves a sequel before this, although I wouldn't complain at a SW2. Abe's story is still yet to be completed - a shame Soulstorm left much to be desired compared to the classic originals.

Nah, Stanger was a much better game.

I was playing the original on my PC about a week ago. Man, the dialog in this game is so hilarious and definitely wouldn't fly today. People have completely lost the ability to see humor in anything. This game was such a gem.

Elronza150d ago

Yes it does indeed! One of my favorite games.
