Abe Babe to attend E3
Several further iterations of the news that Microsoft will not be publishing Stranger have appeared, each less accurate than the last. These include Games Domain, Gaming Horizon, Games Asylum, GamerFeed and XboxAddict. However, two new articles, one by gamesindustry.biz, one by Total Video Games, report that Microsoft has also ditched the title Psychonauts, and confirm that this, along with scrapping this season’s XSN 2004 series, is part of Microsoft’s scheme to rid itself of publishing so‐called ‘niche’ games after the poor ratings of games such as Grabbed By The Ghoulies and Voodoo Vince.
In more promising news, administrator of the Oddworld Forums and webmistress of the renowned Oddworld‐Web will be attending E3 this year to have a first‐hand glimpse of the biggest opportunity for Oddworld Inhabitants to flout their new game to the press and fans.
