Oddworld Inhabitants is pulling the plug on
Munch's Oddysee for PS2 in favor of Xbox exclusivity. Oddworld President Lorne Lanning has expressed his displeasure with Playstation 2 programming difficulties in the past, but in an interview with Daily Radar identified Xbox superiority as the motivation for the move rather than PS2 problems. "On the Xbox, there's a lot less compromise," said Lanning, "This system is the one that developers are going to be the most excited about, which ultimately means that game-players are going to be getting the best experiences from."
Munch's Oddysee had been scheduled for Spring 2001, but will now be a Fall 2001 Xbox launch title.
