News: EA announces the Wild Wild first details on the next Oddworld game.
Fresh off EA's announcement a few weeks back that they had obtained the publishing rights to the next Oddworld game comes a few details about that game.
The game will be titled Oddworld Stranger and, appropriately enough, will star a bounty hunter named The Stranger. Oddworld Stranger will debut on the PS2 and the Xbox in Spring 2005 and EA has supplied the story outline and a few gameplay details:
Players step into the role of the Stranger, a rough and tumble bounty hunter who tracks down outlaws for moolah. Using a special weapons system that gives a whole new meaning to "live" ammo, players will encounter deviant species and hostile challenges along the way. Oddworld Stranger combines first and third-person gameplay with familiar Oddworld elements and an all-new engine to deliver a unique gameplay experience. Set to award-winning visuals, players will be moved by the complex and inspiring story as the Stranger comes to grips with his true nature in the hunt for the ultimate bounty.
Now after reading that description can't you just picture The Man With No Name dancing to that immortal 80s dance tune, "Get Strange"?
OK, just me then...
