Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD set for a Q2 release photo

If you got excited over Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD's recent remaster and still haven't gotten enough Oddworld, you may be happy to hear that Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD has been confirmed via Just Add Water's Twitter to be coming by the end of Q2 for PS3 and PlayStation Vita.

Originally released as a launch title for the Xbox, Munch's Oddysee was the second chapter of the unfinished Oddworld pentalogy. I personally never got a chance to check it out because I was too distracted with Halo: Combat Evolved and Brute Force, so I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a shot. Just Add Water also released a comparison of Munch's old model with his new one and seeing just that improvement has me excited already. I'm a sucker for HD makeovers.

I love Oddworld, adore it even, but Munch's Oddysee is... well... it's just not that good. In fact unless you play the PC port it is actually too hard to control to be fun.

I herd that Halo CE game for the Xbox was good. They should HD that up.

I'd rather get a new Oddworld than an HD port, but hey at maybe this will do well enough to consider making a new one.

I bought the Oddboxx on Steam a while ago, but Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath crash after about five minutes.
So I got Stranger's Wrath on PS3 and am loving it. I'll definitely get Munch as soon as it comes out.

Who is clamoring for this, seriously?

Thought it was the third chapter of the pentalogy. Unless Oddysee and Exoddus are considered halves of the same chapter.

@ Mitchell

It makes Oddworld Inhabitants sad too. Microsoft is blocking this and Stranger's Wrath HD, and will likely continue for the foreseeable future for reasons unknown.

It's really frustrating not being able to purchase this or Stranger's Wrath on 360. I have a PS3, but I pretty much hate my PS3, I've only caved in and purchased Blood Omen and Soul Reaver.

Remember renting it years ago but I never finished it. Good thing that I complete the oddworld collection of games without resorting to that hideous thing they released on steam.

The only good thing about Munch's Oddysee is the fart button.

I have been waiting for a sequel to this game for a monkey's age. Loved it on the ol Xbox. Maybe I'll have to snap this up as a hold over.

The kid can't even spell. Pay him no heed, people.

I can never find this game anywhere, I'll definitely buy this.

@mavhun Sadly that will probably never happen, as OI apparently lost the source for them.

Plus, I disagree, all Oddworld games are the good ones. Even though Munch may have shitty controls.

Still want Stranger's Wrath on my 360 :(

One of my favorite games and they didn't even make it Backwards Compatible.

This is the worst Oddworld game; and I'm a big fan of the series.

Have to agree it was a bit poo, not awful but really repetitive.

Are they ever going to make a new Oddworld game...? I couldn't care less about some mediocre last-gen games. Give us a game in the style of the PS1 ones, not some failed experiment rehashes. Lazy.

The tweet being referenced here specifically says "PS3/Vita and others" - I wonder what the ithers will be? Judging by the blog post on their site regarding the issues with platform exclusivity, I'd imagine this will also be in several other systems too (including one with an X in its name.) :)

Aww, the radiation from the HD-ifying process has given poor Munch a brain tumor. Better buy this to give the poor thing one last moment of glory before the cancer takes them.

"I personally never got a chance to check it out because I was too distracted with Halo: Combat Evolved"
That's probably because a fresh sci-fi FPS was a much more interesting prospect than a cancelled PS2 game running on an Xbox. Ironically, Oddworld Inhabitants actually spent more time cutting content out BECAUSE MS wanted it as an exclusive launch title. :P

@Jibberwocky
While Abe's Exoddus is canon, it's essentially just an expansion pack to Oddysee and not part of the intended Pentology.

@JohnApocalyse
First they said because both games exceed the 2GB limit, then Just Add Water said they can work around that, and now apparently the requirement is that the original version must have a minimum aggregate of 80% in review scores (yet the Xbox version has 88 and the PSN version has 82)
TL;DR - Microsoft being jerks.

@onomatapedalo
Uh, Sega stopped making adds-on years ago dude, this will not be released for the 32X. ;D

Whenever someone mentions Stranger's Wrath, this sentence springs unbidden to mind:

"The following game list is final as of November 2007. No additional original Xbox games will be added to this list."

Fortunately, Microsoft was able to make "Drake of the 99 Dragons" backward-compatible before abandoning the project.
