Why no Xbox 360 Version

I hope it comes to XBLA too. I tried to play the original game on my 360 but it wasn't backwards compatible with that game

oh my fucking god, this is the ONE game i own that i wished was BC on the 360, i'm stoked for this. i LOVE it, best news i've heard in ages, can't wait.

if this is indeed exclusive to PSN, i assume it's becasue of the popularity of the PSone games that are one sale there. oddworld kinda flopped when they went MS exclusive. you could say the death of the franchise. hopefully it gets the recognition it deserves the secont time around.

man. i'm seriously psyched for this. i love oddworld games.

I never had a interest when I was younger to try the series out, but I always loved how the character looked like.
A alien western version of Blondie :D

Cool for fans though hehe

Oh man, this game was so awesome (and I hate anything western)! The visuals, the witty humour, the excellent gameplay and the diversity within it were all fantastic! And you wouldn't say so from watching the vids of this game, but the shooting mechanics in this game were so damn satisfying.

Ah man, fond memories of playing this game back in the day! But why oh why a fucking remake?!!! I want a sequel goddamnit! :(

a sequel would probably require odworld inhabitants, and as far as i'm aware, they're not in the game making business anymore. the failure of munches oddysee and strangers wrath on the xbox effectively killed them.

i'd love to see a new game (strangers related or abe related), but i cant' see it happening. maybe if this sells well?

Sigh, no BOX love for this. Have to connect my old BOX up again to play this little gem of game once more.

So the HDmake is gonna sell because its exclusive to PSN? Recognition on PSN? Yhea, seems abot right.

in other hand, lol: yhea no not so much, steam sale of the 4 games pack = Huge Sucess.

it's a pretty well known games like this are accepted better on sony consoles then on MS consoles. the first 2 oddworld games did great on the PSone, and munches oddysee WAS planned to be on the PS2 and would have no-boubt been a success too, but the title jumped platform mid development, flopped hard on the xbox, and then strangers wrath flopped again. i think we can deduce that oddworld games dont appeal to the typical xbox user, cant we?

and it's "yeah", not "yhea"

I'm an xbox user and this game appeals to me. I even friended Lorne Lanning on facebook. This series was one of the reasons I was even interested in the 3D field. I hope they release it on Xbox LIVE.

Dev confirmed that it isn't PSN exclusive. PC version is definitely coming, 360 version is up in the air.

I always thought MS held the licence to this now.

Korndog you need to step out of your sony fanboy bubble once in a while. The comment "these sort of games are accepted better on sony consoles than on ms consoles" is pretty retarded when the examples given are games from the 32bit generation when there wasnt a MS console, and the ps1's popularity was competing with an already dead saturn. And last gen..when the game didnt even grace the ps2.

The markets also totally different now. A sony brand console nolonger dominates it. And certainly generally doesnt compete with arcade game sales.

Plus i reckon that the majority of 360 owners here owned a ps1 at one point

OMFG!!!!!!!!! THE ONE GAME I WANTED TO BE BC ON 360 IS GETTING A HD SODDING REMAKE!!!!!!!!! That's awsome bloody news! I loved this game even if I could never play it much due to not owning an xbox and not always being around friends.

Just like everyone. this is the one game I wished that was BC on 360! I still played it on my original Xbox, but was never able to show the game to other people unless if they came over to my house.

Amazing game, hilarious as hell, and really unique gameplay.

Too bad it's not on XBLA. One of the best games on the original Xbox.
