Wasn there a lot of stuff missing from Munchs Oddysee?
Put simply and shortly, yes. The trouble was, even as far back as early 1999, people were very excited about Munch’s Oddysee, and Oddworld Inhabitants were happy to provide people with all sorts of previews of the characters, locations, and plot – after all, the release was just a few months away. But the transfer from 2D to 3D was more diffdifficult than anticipated, the PS2 was difficult to develop for, and the transfer to Xbox knocked more time off of production. However, that does not mean that Munch’s Oddysee wasn’t a very good game, far from it. It’s just not as good as it could have been. We blame it all on hype and lack of secrecy, the exact same thing that prevented the whole Mudokon tears plot in Abe’s Exoddus from being the shock horror that it was intended to be. Oddworld Inhabitants have obviously learnt from this mishap, because they are remaining very secretive about their next game, known even now only as Oddworld 4.
