Oddworld Returning To PlayStation
Follow me! Follow me!Published 08/10/2009 at 7:00 by nofi
According to Video Game Reviews, the two classic PlayStation Oddworld games have been locked for the PSN and are due on October 21st. For anyone unfamiliar with the rather wacky adventures of the Oddworld inhabitants, both games – Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exodus – were a peculiar blend of platforming and puzzling with plenty of fart gags thrown in, with the eponymous protagonist charged with escaping Rupture Farms (a meat processing plant) and rescuing as many of his friends along the way as possible.
They were hugely successful back in the early PlayStation games and whilst the proceeding two games (a 3D Xbox launch title and a first person shooter) lost the way a bit, the original couplet still play extremely well and I personally would love to get my hands on them again, if only for the puerile humour. The site linked above also mentions something about a possible future Oddworld game, something we’ve also heard on the grapevine recently but in this instance our lips are well and truly sealed…

Abe’s Oddysee was a great game. My 6 year old son will love it too. The fart jokes were very childish lol lol

[fanboy on]
I hope everybody that did NOT forget the part that the new Odd World games where not created/ported to any Playstation after the success they had on Sony’s boxes will BAN these games and will not buy them!
[fanboy off]
Are these updated HD versions? can we slap somebody with AC3 sounds?

To be honest when they jumped ship it did annoy me a bit as I really enjoyed the first two and was unable to play munch’s odyssey.

Strangers Wrath was a good overlooked game….I would be more excited for that to come back, but only because I completed Abes games recently on steam
Shouldn’t the article picture be of Abe and not Munch?

You have just made my morning. I love Oddworld and I remember being absolutely gutted when I read that Munch’s Odyssey was going to XBox. Can’t wait to play these again.
“Hello. Follow me!”

Quality news….I loved both of these…I just told the wife and she cannot wait either, and she hates computer games, apart from this lol
I think it must be the fart noises and “Follow me”.

Abe’s Odyssey was brilliant! I remember having one of those PS1 demo disks, which had this on it. Could only play the first level but I used to play it all the time. The comedy was brilliant and the puzzles were actually quite challenging.

Same for me, only ever played the demo and never got my mitts on the full game. I might just download these if the price is right.
