Oddworld Sneaking Back To A Console Near You
Back in September, PixelPoet reported a rumor of games that had received ESRB ratings; PSOne games that could be coming to the PSN.
Via the PlayStation Blog, two titles, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysey and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, have been confirmed. Both games will release this Thursday, October 22, priced at $9.99. Of interest to some is that the author of the blog post is Lorne Lanning, the co-founder and creative director of Oddworld Inhabitants.
To start, Lanning recalls a moment six years ago when the thought occurred to him:
It was only about six years ago that I told our agent at the time, "Larry, don't you get it!? Our classic Abe games are history. The systems that played them are gone and they aren't coming back. Ours is a disposable medium and we don't have a Turner Classics channel." He looked at me with this defeated expression and said, "Dude, that's the most depressing thing I've ever heard you say." He believed me, and I too believed it at the time.Six years later and I have to admit it's great being proved wrong.
While I rather adore the game, I also started to replay it with a bunch of folk toward the end of last year and forgot how exacting it could be. Still, there's lots of good stuff in there if you've never experienced it.
