Does anyone remember the Oddworld series?

Another old series is wipping off the dust to hit an all new audience. It starts this Ocober with Munch's Oddysee getting an HD remake on the PS3. There is also something called the Oddboxx comming that should have all four Oddworld games included. Also sometime in 2012 they plan on giving Hand of Odd another chance. This means we may see one of the weirdest RTS games ever. If you have any experience with the series you will know that weird gassy aliens were good for a laugh, but the gameplay was also good. I know I'm curious to see what they do with the games. how about any of you?

Oh god I remember that weird series. HD remakes are a good idea especially since they are making a new one in 2012, gives people who haven't played the old ones a newer look into it. Thanks for the story :D

Never cared for this series that much. I have heard the rumors about a reboot. Should be interesting. Developers are gonna start focusing on the new consoles soon and I can't wait to see some of the cool this they come up with.

I loved Munch's oddysee. It's one of the few original x-box games I still have. I'm still waiting on the HD remix of Strangers wrath that was supposed to be coming out. And why not put Munch on the 360? I wanna play it again. :(

They've said that getting it on the 360 is still up in the air, but they would like to see it there a month later. According to joystiq

I've only played the very first in the series. If they do HD update, they need to fix the controls. I was trying to play it last week and couldn't beat the first level the controls where so stiff.

Great news Dragonkiss! except I don't have a ps3! I want them on my 360 :(
At least it's adding to my list of reasons to pick up a ps3. I guess....

I missed out on playing Stranger's Wrath, can't wait to play it. Munch's Oddysee was fun, but weird. PS3's are as cheap now as some of the collectors editions games are comming with now.

I played strangers wrath on the xbox, but never finished it because I got stuck and frustrated, and I was only renting it.

And you raise a good point about the price of ps3's, I just don't have an extra 299 plus tax to shell out right now all at once.
