Dude thats a tree not a pole there is a root going into it at the bottom. Besides there is some sort of bark like texture like a smooth Berch type of texture to it. It has to be a small tree. and there is branches comming out of it if you look closely at the top and on the side.

Sekto Springs 07-04-2004 04:42 AM

First of all, it doesn't look anything like a tree to me, it doesn't match with the surrounding trees in the least, it's pattern is perfectly shaped, the two triangles on the side are obviously tied on, and the branches are from the tree behind it. I don't think it's a tree, maybe if it were brown than it would match the others, but it's not.

Its a pole/ The 'root' is a gnarled tree in the background.

This sucks! It won't let me watch it, becuase all my media player's won't understant the file.

That's because it's a QuickTime movie, you'll have to download it.

Oddish 07-04-2004 07:14 AM

It won't work on Quick Time, and i have already downloaded.

Xavier 07-04-2004 07:22 AM

maybe try with the latest version of Quicktime... I have 6.3 and it works fine

Oddish 07-04-2004 07:33 AM

I have 6.5.1 and it works terrilbely.

Why dose these sort of things happen? can i just watch the movie!

Comick 07-04-2004 09:11 AM

WOW! Thanks! I really stumbled upon it. I love watching trailers to animation festivals, because I know I have no chance of seeing them, and when I saw that clip it instantly clicked that it was Oddworld, because thier style is so unique. So glad everyone liked it. *Smiles*

Xavier 07-04-2004 09:27 AM

Woooow!
This makes me more excited for the release of Stranger.
Good find :D

Dualist 07-04-2004 02:20 PM

Awesome find, too bad we will have to wait til August 2004 to see the rest. That is buy the movie.

Xavier 07-04-2004 11:16 PM

I don't think we'll be able to download the whole video...
it was allready shown at ceveral conferences, and we could never see it

Nate 07-05-2004 01:15 PM

Is it just me or does that butterfly thing look like a salamander flipper/tail? I can't think why it would be attached to a pole but look at the similarity in this pic

Sekto Springs 07-05-2004 01:35 PM

Sort of, but the tale has multiple joints and fins, as the thing on the pole is just a triangle.

Nate 07-05-2004 03:07 PM

it does have the ribbed look like the fins

Sekto Springs 07-05-2004 04:28 PM

Maybe a little, but the fins aren't triangular, they are more fan-like. Plus the pattern is not the same.

mih0001 07-05-2004 08:54 PM

The movie doesn't work (of course) because I don't have Quick Time, but can anyone tell me if the new game (Stranger) has anything to do with abe or munch?

Xavier 07-05-2004 11:04 PM

nothing to do with Abe nor Munch, it's simply still on Oddworld

FOR THE ONES THE .MOV DOESN'T WORK

Try the flash application on the page atusiya@ found and posted here.

Sekto Springs 07-08-2004 08:44 AM

I'm still wondering about the speed. You think I could ask Abe Babe if that's the speed it was in the movie she saw? I mean, it won't reveal anything about the game against the contract, I'll just be asking her about something we've already seen.

Xavier 07-08-2004 08:52 AM

I think she can tell you about the speed ;)

anyway I think it has been speeded up

Oddish 07-08-2004 10:45 AM

I think it was speeded up, coz of the way it was shown, it was just a prewiew.

Nate 07-08-2004 12:28 PM

plus it was just a few short shots so it feels a bit disjointed, which may give the impression of being speeded up.

Saw the .mov file last night instead of just the flash. It looks like that pole has more than one of the fin things. If we assume that the scene is set in the cemetary then it may be some Sal form of grave marker, with a carved fin on it.

Seargentbig 07-09-2004 12:35 AM

I began to download it... then saw that it would take five hours...
*swears*

We already know, you can see two. Maybe it is a gravestone.

Killa_47 07-09-2004 10:41 AM

Just saw the film and i agree i do think it is a gravestone........it kind of looks like one.

Eriken 07-09-2004 09:23 PM

Heh. It's funny how everyone's raving about how good it looks. It's not ingame, so don't expect the whole game to look that great.

oddguy 07-09-2004 09:25 PM

Someone's glass is half empty! :rolleyes:

-oddguy :cool:

Eriken 07-10-2004 12:02 AM

Well I've never understood how people can get all excited over how an FMV cinematic looks. Final Fantasy IX had some awesome FMV's, but that doesn't mean the in-game stuff was the same calibur.

I only get excited over in-engine stuff. Anything other than that doesn't reflect how the game will really look.

I get this vibe that because more of us prefer Xbox to PS2 that you have developed some sort of competitive hatred for most of us because you're a PS2 person. Or it could be you just don't like Oddworld. Sorry, if I'm jumping to conclusions but you seem to have been nothing but a wet blanket for a while now. We are excited because every little bit of info is something new and it's interesting to share our theories with one another, sorry if it appears we're getting hectic, but we're not. Also we just love Oddworld. Oddworld Forums is a place you discuss about Oddworld. What do you think we're doing? The FMVs are as equally important and exciting as the gameplay and we can party 'till we drop if we want.
