Oh shit you're right. Well, all Abe did was turn off the power and fry Mullok a bit, it's not like they can't possibly switch it all back on again.

Vlam you speedy fuck. Yeah, visiting it would be fanservice but so is most of this game and 100% of NnT, anyway.

Vlam 03-23-2016 12:38 AM

There are no additional content in NnT (except the DLC). Why would there be in SoulStorm?

Frankly, where is the fanservice in NnT (not as dark as AO, some fans are pissed)? Except Alf's Escape of course.

what if instead of RF, we go to Vykers Lab

Good one.

In that the only reason NnT exists is because of fan demand. Then it became a natural stepping stone in reviving the Oddworld brand.

It's not the official reason. Do you know what fanservice is?

Holy Sock 03-23-2016 03:27 AM

Lorne's talked about it in many interviews. At least that's what I think Nep was talking about.

Vlam 03-23-2016 03:40 AM

Holy Sock, many fans wanted the remake of Abe's Oddysee. Lanning, on the other hand, said "So New 'n' Tasty was basically the remake of Abe's Exoddus" (Link).

Moreover, here is a song that has nothing to do with Oddworld. No fans asked for it.

Varrok 03-23-2016 03:43 AM

Lorne Lanning looks 10 years older with each passing year

Holy Sock 03-23-2016 03:56 AM

I don't get your post, vlam. Is it tongue-in-cheek?

What?

Varrok 03-23-2016 03:58 AM

Vlam tries to say NnT does some things that are more against fans than fanservice, like the completely unfitting credits song

Vlam 03-23-2016 04:00 AM

Thank you, Varrok.

My point is simple, Holy Sock (sorry to be vulgar): Lanning doesn't give a shit about what you want.

Right, I was just elaborating by what I thought Nep meant. Maybe I misread it.

Also, I've never met Lorne, vlam. How would he know what I want?

Varrok 03-23-2016 04:22 AM

e: nvm

Vlam 03-23-2016 04:25 AM

Holy Sock is disappointing.

And why should he?

Vlam 03-23-2016 06:49 AM

It was only an observation.

....beeeecause Lorne (PBUH) literally said they're scrapping the original script and making a new one based on the original story notes?

Vlam 03-23-2016 08:02 AM

Those are words. Wait and see.

Crashpunk 03-23-2016 08:02 AM

I hope they bring back the 3 Glukkon Directors. That's all I want.

Holy Sock 03-23-2016 08:13 AM

I bet Lorne isn't lying! Despite vlam's convincing argument.

JayDee 03-23-2016 08:26 AM

I've never spoken to Lorne in person though I have had a few conversations iwth him over facebook about previously unstated(?) Oddworld lore. He's pretty perceptive of fans and in most ways I respect his decisions to go against fans wishes in the pursuit of his "vision" of what he wants Oddworld to be.

I just want ze boiler scene in there. Or at the very very least the Glukkon with the French accent in some capacity.

Crashpunk 03-23-2016 11:25 AM

Fully HD Ze boiler scene or riot. Favorite cutscene in any game. Ever.

And I always loved the dynamic between the Directors. The Brewmaster was also great. If they appear in the game again, all four of them together in a new scene would be amazing.

Connell 03-23-2016 03:19 PM

BUT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO

FennecFyre 03-23-2016 03:21 PM

Abe: "Yeah 8D"

But yeah they better keep that scene in. That, and the flying farts. I demand both.

Jordan 03-23-2016 05:26 PM

I wonder if they'll keep the M.o.M cutscenes. They were goofy as fuck but I used to love them when I was younger.

Maybe they could bring back the arc about the mudokon queen, Sam, that they abandoned.

It was abandoned from MO. Not from AE.

SoulStorm64 03-23-2016 10:44 PM

If anything i hope the greeter bot has to have the correct light sensor that was for some reason too "hard" to get into New n hasty's stock yard.

Greeter bot or GTFO

Nepsotic 03-23-2016 10:51 PM

I thought the lasers in NnT were actually really cool.

SoulStorm64 03-23-2016 11:12 PM

They aren't by any means stupid or anything, they portray the original action yes; but are by far dumbed down compared to the "complex" movements of the watch towers sensors

Crashpunk 03-23-2016 11:35 PM

i can't think of any other way the Greeter's laser sensors could be changed. The original one worked really well.

Connell 03-24-2016 02:03 AM

Perhaps a sort of floodlight design that places a square on the floor in front of the greeter? I tried to illustrate my point here. Please excuse the crudity of the drawing. I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it.

lol doc brown

Varrok 03-24-2016 02:25 AM

I think they're just gonna replace Greeters with laser gates from NnT.

Havoc 03-24-2016 02:38 AM

That would be stupid. The Greeters were pretty creepy in a way. They would fit the darker tone of Soulstorm pretty well.

STM 03-24-2016 02:41 AM

Plus as Connel said, they can do a design where the sensor forms a square that runs along the ground. Tbh the watch towers in the stock yards could have done this. I understand the design of the motion sensors on rails but as a game mechanic it's boring.

They have a history of making decisions that don't fit the darker tones of the games.

Scrabaniac 03-24-2016 03:30 AM

It would make sense to either keep the original laser beam, or have them shine a spotlight

That sounds kinda dumb honestly, they should probably just stick with the original system, don't fix what aint broke
