The announcement that Just Add Water was going to be releasing a high-definition upgrade of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (the only game of the series I have yet to play and/or achieve 100% completion in) set me all a-twitter with anticipation. Now, in an interview with Joystiq, managing director Stuart Gilray has stated that Stranger's Wrath is just the beginning and that the company has plans for five additional Oddworld titles.
That's a highly ambitious proposition, especially when you consider that Oddworld has already attempted to do pretty much the same thing with the plans for the original "Quintology" which were scrapped. I don't know what makes Just Add Water think this time will be different, but I appreciate that at least somebody is doing something with such a fantastic property.

And installments are so few and far between its really hard to care. Personally, I thought Stranger's Wrath was the only fun installment of the series, I really couldn't get into the others and I tend to like the genre its in.
Should have waited for next Xbox.
I really hope things work out this time, I love oddworld.
More Oddworld! HD Remakes.. new! I don't care! Just more!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these "current gen was my first console" kiddies, I played through it back in the day, but to have it back and to have it in my pocket is AWESOME.
Can't wait for this series to be re-visited.
this would have been epic! - i was watching this like a hawk before ps2 came out then oddworld inhabitants moved to Xbox ...leaving me a sad panda.
maybe the 6th title in the series is this one!? really hope so this looked incredibly fun there are a bunch more vids on you tube also
