Maybe the 299 has something to do with that secret game mode they hinted at some point? Can't remember where exactly they talked about it, but I remember Stewart or someone else saying something about a secret game mode in some video. And didn't the PS Nation stream show a bit of the main menu and there was a locked option there?

I assume that locked option on the main menu would be load game.

But there's still a locked option in the settings too.

The menu locked off in the E3 build was "Extras". Leaderboards, Credits and so on.

Load Game is inside Play Game.

With 299 they've over tripled the amount of Muds in the game. This means that they, potentially, could have over tripled the size of the game (they almost certainly haven't though.) and so they must've made the game at least a bit bigger, with new levels, etc, I'd say.

I'd guess this would be in new secret levels but I also think they've probably added new not-secret levels as well in which this comes to effect. (Either that or they must've added a load of new secret levels. :P ) And, of course, the rest will, presumably, be added to areas where Mudokons already are, as, as previously mentioned, Abe can now say 'all a ya'.

EDIT:

Also the thing about this not being a spoiler is actually a good point, really.

In the 'Spoiler Sticky' post Nate has said.

But this is not beyond a trailer is it? The 299 was in the trailer? :P

Hey, everyone! Stop being such whiny babies!

If a spoiler gets posted in OD, a moderator will move it here.
If a non-spoiler gets posted in here, a moderator will move it to OD.
And if a moderator is too lazy to move it, then I guess it counts as a bonus spoiler. So shut yer faces already!

Yeah. 299 instead of 99 is a spoiler. Watching all the recent video-previews, knowing how AO actually works out... Not at all a surprise. There are four times the number of Mudokons where there should be, in quite a few screens.

So, not a surprise that there are more than 99.

Thanks Wil! Or who ever was in charge of showing off the new screens! They're the ones some peeps from here asked to see :D you teased hard with the employee lounge signs but not the actual areas haha. Looking gorgeous!

Yeah I had a big smile on my face when I saw Abe riding the Elum in Paramonia. Thanks Wil/"Other JAW person"

In Eurogamer's little comparison video the Employee Count is 299. So there you go!

Thanks a million, you don't know how grateful I am to be able to see these from where I am :)

Scrabaniac 07-21-2014 10:25 AM

There's definitely 299 without a doubt. maybe the 99 is on the easy mode?

Dynamithix 07-21-2014 11:18 AM

Huh, wasn't really expecting this. Cool!
