MojoMan220 · #1 06-18-2003, 01:58 AM

Main character revealed! No it's not squeak! Abe and Munch are not going to be in this one (they will be back soon).

EGM was right about everything go to this link!! Streaming video included.

Steef's Oddysee!!

Steef is not in this pic...

This is Steef!!

.

Cool.

Looks like he is the main character after all...

Heres some extracted pics from the footage.

Here is steef below:

And this pic below probably is the first look at the next Oddworld Environment.

Wow. Cool. I couldn't see the video, but sounds cool. Definitely different thatn what Oddworld's done before.

oddguy · #4 06-18-2003, 02:59 AM

I didn't look at the streaming video, but I did see the picture, and I'm a little dissapointed.(Maybe my opinion will change later when I see them in action.)
I love oddworld for it's creativity and, well...oddness!
I'm sorry, but the guys in the pic look like fat, hillbily chickens who lost all their feathers. Is it just me, or does anybody else feel this way?

I know that oddworld is a huge place with many stories that have not been delved into, but I didn't want to explore the strory behind fat chiken guys! Personaly I'd like to see more of that hunter guy!

To talk about the pic, the chiken guys have those ponytail things; kinda like mudokons.

Sweet we now know the main charaters name! Yay we are finally getting information. Yay the wait the long tiresome, boreing 2 year wait of speculation is over. Yay Info!

Has it been two years since Munch? Wow that was a long wait for some information on the next game sheesh the Big nothing inwhich I have been calling this wait has come to its end! Anyway I think its a good time to reopen the spoiler section since we are getting official information on Steef's Oddessey. Anybody Alcar what do you think? Steef what an interesting creature half horse half Gorillia. But I am sure the story will not say he is that. OWI probabaly just took those animals and simply made a character out of it. It will probabaly be some new race we will be introduced to. And those chicken things. I like those they look funny and they sort of look like Mudokins in a very strange way. But I am feeling a little concerned about this though. This is very different for Oddworld but we don't know much so I wouldn't make final judgements quite yet. By the way Steef is that Hunter thing. He looks awesome.

oddguy · #6 06-18-2003, 03:03 AM

Oops! My bad!

I'm not mad anymore! Oddguy like hunter guy!

oddguy · #7 06-18-2003, 03:06 AM

I admit chicken guys look funny! They just don't have main character material. I was mad cus I thought chicken guys were the main character!

Abe16 · #8 06-18-2003, 03:11 AM

O boy ODDWORLDS DA BOM!

MojoMan220 · #9 06-18-2003, 03:12 AM

It's funny how everyone thought EGM was playing an April Fools joke on everybody! Steef is half horse, half gorilla, and I think thats his talking boat in G-Xis's post. Lorne seems to be really excited about this one!

paramiteabe · #10 06-18-2003, 03:16 AM

Now we have to remember that these creatures will be their own unieque creatures of the Oddworld Universe. Don't worry we are not going have a half Horse half Gorillia running around on Oddworld. Most likely Steef will be called something Oddworldish. OWI probabally just use those animals to make their new character. Look at Munch hes half Frog half shark. This is no different only different animals this character is based on thats all.

I can't wait till StO. Its going to be intresting. Mann in those pictures the enviorments looked amazeing. Even the water looked better than what it was in MO. I betcha those images were part of gameplay.

Well welcome our new star Steef! What is he? Whats his delema he faces? What kind of issues will we face in StO? Does Steef have a psycic power like Abe and Munch? Many question about this new game and character and I am sure this is only the tip of the icberg. Heres to StO!

Paramiteabe...

oddguy · #11 06-18-2003, 03:26 AM

It was such a rush to complete MO, since it was moved from PS2 to XBOX, and it looked great! Now that they have more time to make a game, I think It'll give OWI a chance to show us what they can really do! ...And there's a way to trully harness the power of XBOX and give us even faster loading times!(Not that I'm complaining.)

paramiteabe · #12 06-18-2003, 03:35 AM

You ever think this could takeplace on another continent? Those creatures just don't look Mudos like.

Mac the Janitor · #13 06-18-2003, 03:39 AM

Seems like it, PA. I mean, c'mon, chickens and gorillas...

paramiteabe · #14 06-18-2003, 03:49 AM

In the picture with the chicken things the buildings in the background look rather oddworldish. They sort of in a way remind me of Flub co in the shape. They look like giant barrels. We just don't know anything yet accept for the name Steef and that he is this strange creature which is based on a Horse and Gorillia and a talking boat. And then we got those chicken things. Wierd I have to say but cool! I wounder if we are going to see Sligs in the game?

***Xavier*** · #15 06-18-2003, 04:26 AM

arg... all that goodness, just today, right after a Marilyn Manson concert and I'm not able to think correctly anymore for a day or two.

the first think I tought when I saw this vidéo was: "damn that rumor about the horse-monkey guy and his boat is... TRUE?"

anyway I realy don't like the chickens, they just don't look good. But Steef just look wonderfull and good!
I hope we will get more information at the whole show on discovery channel

oddguy · #16 06-18-2003, 04:51 AM

I agree with Xavier on this one. I said the chhicken guys were funny looking, but it's not something I'd expect from Oddworld.

Steef does look Awesome though! And we know he carries a gun from video we've seen. So far, no main character has used a gun personally.

sorry did I miss something? I mean are we realy sure it was Steef in the video part with the gun?

oddguy · #18 06-18-2003, 05:03 AM

Maybe it wasn't Steef.

Hopefully we'll be sure on Friday when we see X factor. But you have to admit, Steef would look sweet with a gun!

***Cloverfield*** · #19 06-18-2003, 06:31 AM

All of this is just too exciting!

I wish I wasn't so busy over the past week, as I've kind of missed some things, but then I check out everything today and it's like "whoa".

Yeah, maybe that EGM guy wasn't so wrong after all. I watched the IGN vid today, and I'm like, "hey, there's the boat". So my "guess" in my FOM interview is correct. LOL

I know there's another thread on the new character, but I'll just post all my stuff here. I think he looks really cool ... actually he looks like he's Australian!

That had and that is really Crocodile Dundee! Maybe I should have given Lorne an Acubra hat instead of a digeridoo!!!

But what's with those chickens? They remind me of something out of Chicken Run or something (but heaps better and more well designed, as I didn't like Chicken Run at all). Maybe they are going to be highlighting something to do with how Chickens are mistreated when they are used for laying eggs or for food, as that would go in with the whole message that OWI put forward. So maybe this Steef guy has to save them and the like.

I don't think we'll see Abe and Munch much (or even at all) in this one, as Lorne says that they're taking a vacation.

I wish I was in the US and could see The X Factor. We have Discovery Channel over here, but they never have gaming shows on it ... so we probably won't get this one either.

Abe Babe...

In fact, now that I think about, it won't be necesserely Steef's Oddysee, since it's not in the quintology

Take a look and decide for yourself!

***Xavier*** · #22 06-18-2003, 12:09 PM

this is steef, okay? well he is a lot bigger than the guy with the gun in the shoot part of the other video

btw the guy in your picture isn't the one with the gun

I know, I just wanted to make sure nobody would overlook this thread. How do you know its not part of the quintology?

***Xavier*** · #24 06-18-2003, 12:57 PM

sorry you are right... I may be in the quintology... this isn't fully understandable for me

:

. Oddworld is presently working on a title that is concurrent with the evolution of the Quintology, but unique from our previous games.

In the video you see the guy with gun on that log, and something runs past him and he shoots at it. I thought it was Steef!

How do you know it's not Steef?
If it isn't Steef, then log guy shares a Steefy resemblance!

Oddsville · #26 06-18-2003, 01:02 PM

Ee Gads! I go to work and something else happens! I could go to the bathroom and the when I got back everyone would have somehow beat the game! Ah well, it looks pretty great to me. I can't wait to get my facts all straitened out so I can start figuring out the story and the such.

Abeguy · #27 06-18-2003, 01:35 PM

SWEET!!!!! that is so cool!

well the guy that shoot is definitly not Steef, maybe the first one is

Eyemagic · #29 06-18-2003, 02:02 PM

Well, if the title of the new game is Steef's Oddysee ,like Abe's Oddysee and Munch's Oddysee , then it can be part of the quintology, don't you think?

But then, what happens to Squeek's Oddysee and Munch's Exoddus? Cancelled?..... Who knows

I don't think so. Lorne says Abe and Munch are taking a break, so I guess when they return things will go back to normal. He want's to do things a little differently in this game.
