I'm definitely in favor of the urban setting at least for part of the game. It doesn't necessarily have to be Nolybab, but a big city could work really well for platforming, and could have a pretty interesting atmosphere. Towering, corporate HQs, 10 story advertisements, dilapidated slums in the shadows of opulent skyscrapers... Could be a very good setting to explore class-ism, if that's one of the themes they're aiming for.

Plot twist: Squeek is Elboze Freely coming back!

He needs another chance to prove himself after that ridiculously easy boss fight!

I'm so angry I only just noticed Nolybab is Babylon backwards god fucking dammit

I hope you catched what they did with "Elum" yet.

Slog Bait 08-18-2014 06:42 AM

I NEVER NOTICED THAT EITHER

I am so distraught right now

Idea.
 
I think they should make as like a INFAMOUS SECOND SON game where you can unlock powers and stuff.The powers would be like Possession Fuzzles and new gamespeak.

Holy Sock 08-18-2014 06:44 AM

I dunno. I'd rather new powers and unlocks be within the game's story rather than through an upgrade menu.

One thing that Squeek needs is a genuinely compelling story for both Abe and Munch.

On my old CRT we had the contrast turned up and the brightness turned down a little, so the E in "CHANT HERE" on the sign at the end of the Stockyards was covered by shadows, so my brother and I read it as "CHANTHER".

I thought Slogs were called Chanthers until the end of the Free-Fire Zone.

"I had just got past those Slogs"

"OOHHHHHH"

As far as the city=endgame thing. I think that refers to just the big cities that the kahnsumors live in (or however they're spelt). I think we could still get slums or subdistricts for lower lifeforms (Sligs, clakkerz, the worker races).

I just want to say that artwork is pretty sweet;) Really captures the darker side to Oddworld. Me thinks anway

Holy Sock 08-18-2014 01:49 PM

It's from the Oddworld movie.

HOMINIX 08-18-2014 02:42 PM

Yes, and hopefully would/will be seen late in the Quintology! I'd love to see the heart of the industrial Oddworld

If the law did end up looking for, say, a cyborg with big red arms, he could just swap those out and avoid suspicion.

Nah, those arms are fine. The point at which they'd really start attacking him is when they notice his legs are the wrong shade of green.

Renney77 08-19-2014 05:57 AM

Thanks Holy sock. I suppose they never got around to making the movie then. Not sure if I'm glad about that or not Lel.
