Why was this game cancelled?

I just paid good money for a PS2 to play my PS1 games and hoped to play the 3rd Oddworld game only to find its destined for a different console. Soley THE X-BOX........with all the and ps2 owners already out there would'nt it be a better idea to have it on the PS2 as well??? I think its a bit of a slap in the face for playstation owners who had the game on their machine and possibaly made the game a hit. Besides....who knows...Bill Gates box my have the same fate as the Dreamcast who's hardware was slightly better than the PS2. I think Oddworld Inhabitions are making a slight mistake...but they seem to know what thay are doing.

very, very dissapointed

re: Why was this game cancelled?

As far as i understand it, the game was way over budget and behind schedule in the development. Bill Gates got word of this and immediately bought it off the original publishers in order to bring it exclusively to xbox. Bill Gates obviously did this out of desperation as he cant possibly make any money with it, as it has cost so much already. Another thing is that out of all the games that are claimed to be scheduled for xbox release, this game has been advertised the most by microsoft. Does this mean that Munch's oddysee is the best game coming to xbox? Or does it mean that Microsoft have so few games planned for a release on the console that theres nothing better to show off? Probably both if you ask me, i havent seen much of their launch games, and the ones i have seen arnt excellant and don't exceed the graphical excellance of the PSX2. Do me a favour and don't support this console, let it die at the mighty foot of the PSX2 as it is destined to.

Power to the PSX2!!!

SHAME ON YOU all at oddworld. We were promised that Munchs Oddysee should be availlable at PS2. What are we going to do now? Buy another expensive console, to be able to play this new game from Oddworld. I`m very dissapointed and angry. I will never buy another game from this company again.Hope others feel the same.
Again "SHAME ON YOU ALL"
Excuse my lack of good english, but I`m from Norway. English is not my first language.

Grrrrr....

Is Bull Flakes not satisfied with the results of his forced marketing of microsucks Whinoes and Internet Exploiter? I am sure that the size of the non PC gaming industry is very attractive to him. Hmmm... So he's thinking that he can purchase the rights to market one of the most anticipated broad market games on his new gaming platform, and insure it's success. Everyone that I've talked to that owns a FlexCocks considers purchasing it to have been a very bad decision.

Funny that he would do this with a game that is focused on revolution???

Let's hope that it fails

re: Why was this game cancelled?

just because it says ONLY on X-Box doesnt mean it wont come to the PS2 . It will probally be a year or so after it has already been on the x-box. Just look at FF7 and FF8 they were both psx exclusives and a while later they went to the pc

re: Why was this game cancelled?

I'm a 9 year-old kid that loves the Oddworld games. My Dad and sisters would play with me for hours trying to get to the next level. I was very excited that I got a PS2 for Christmas and couldn't wait to get the newest Oddworld game to play on my new console. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it would NEVER be...only XBOX would be able to play the game. I am very disappointed and angry about this. I am happy with my PS2 and know I will probably never have an XBOX, so, thanks for selling-out Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc.!
