I think it would look like shit because in my opinion, Oddworld's environments just aren't suited to have cars racing through them. I suppose you could say the same about the Mario games, but they contain lots of tropes and have a cartoony quality that gives them an edge compared to traditional racing games. Oddworld's environments on the other hand have a kind of beauty that I think wouldn't go well with a racing format and should be enjoyed with a relatively slow pace.

I don't think I like Oddworld much anymmore.

Crashpunk 03-21-2012 09:12 AM

Why does this thread even exist? The idea is stupid and why are we discussing it :lol:

OANST 03-21-2012 10:03 AM

I'd play it.

MeechMunchie 03-21-2012 10:33 AM

But only to annoy everybody who hates it.

Mr. Bungle 03-21-2012 10:36 AM

I wanna play as a Scrab riding a Paramite.

Oddey 03-21-2012 10:47 AM

I don't know about you, but I would play it. I might not enjoy it, but I would play it.

Bullet Magnet 03-21-2012 11:27 AM

I can't even imagine it. The closest I can get looks like this.


MeechMunchie 03-21-2012 11:39 AM

You do all know this isn't actually happening, right?

You shut your stupid mouth. I expect to be playing Abe-A-Go-Cart by this time next year.

Varrok 03-21-2012 12:03 PM

The customer is always right. Even if it's OANST.

OANST 03-21-2012 12:15 PM

Exactly.

That would actually make a really good mini-game. :lol:

Also rep+ for posting Crash Bandicoot :fuzgrin:

I wonder if I could program and implement Abe a go kart entirely in secret as an easter egg without anyone else in the office (i.e. my boss) finding out...

Varrok 03-21-2012 01:20 PM

Your secrets are safe with us. We won't tell anyone

DarkHoodness 03-21-2012 01:23 PM

Does Mr. Gilray ever come here, actually?

Glitch 03-21-2012 02:22 PM

on occasion, although I couldn't guess how often.

Before I even joined JAW. :D

That's only the profile you know about...

sheridanm962 03-21-2012 11:30 PM

This thread is going now where, I'm closing it...


Wait, I'm not Nate. :tard:

Mudokon_Master 03-21-2012 11:35 PM

We've actually stayed on-topic the whole time. Actually, your post is the only off-topic one.
(Well technically now mine is too)

JennyGenesis 03-22-2012 01:18 AM

Just a random idea popped into my head,

Regarding weapons, I think obvious ones would be,

Explosive farts
Grenades
Sligs Guns
Shrykull

Chant suppressors
Mines/UXBs
Bats!
Bees!
Possession orbs (run into one and it fucks up your steering)

Never Sleeper 03-22-2012 02:09 AM

This game idea reminds me on "Driver - San Francisco". You posses your enemies and you drive them into death or into the other players. :P

Glitch 03-22-2012 03:22 AM

I think we should keep with the spirit of AO and include obstacles on the track that are barely visible and, when hit (even a little) take you all the way back to the first lap and you have to start again.

That's it, now you ruined it.

I kind of like the shrykull idea, it'll only pop when you are the last of the race. :D (but then you'll have to include an option where it can be disactivated when configuring the race)

Are you saying that Gilray is MS? Oh, the implications. The horrible, horrible implications.

Dynamithix 03-22-2012 06:56 AM

Man, I wanna play this game now.

JennyGenesis 03-22-2012 07:07 AM

If you ask JAW nicely then maybe you can.

OANST 03-22-2012 07:08 AM

I imagine Jenny must be pretty psyched, too. I mean, there's driving.
