but oddworld could do something a bit different coulden't they

I agree with Mojoman.

Stingbee, they could, but they don't want to. You get anything out of an oddworld car game, oddworld has it's own genre and ideas, no point doing something which has been alot and just giving it an oddworld theme. Oddworld develope and create idea for their games, Live Ammo for example. Plus oddworld always do something different, that's why the 2D's games are being produce no more, becuase they want to something different.

And theres no way that Squeek would be a Slig, it would very disspointing, because he's/she's/it's one those characters you'll love, like Abe and Munch. I belvieve that Squeeks will a complex creature like Abe and Munch with personality, a background, and have great strenght not in thier phisical state, but in heart and spirit. Plus with a great design too.

EDIT: Where on earth is my banner???

maybe you put the tick out of the box in the reply box

squeck sounds more like a person not a creature.plus oddworld could make a game where you could choose to be on the industril side or the natives

I don't remember ticking off the small box, must of been an accident.

A person? You mean humans? There will be no humans in oddworld. In Hand of Odd there supposed a choice choosing to be Industral or native.

no not humans sorry, odd things.

Odd things? What do you mean by odd thing? You think Squeek is going to be an odd thing, well most oddworld creatures are odd I guess.

probably, I' here since nearly 4 years... :p there might be some things I know and you don't ;)

lol can be ^_^;

but i dont realy get the hang of this...i mean i did read a short discreption on what Sligstorm was going to be,and as long as i could read,i dont think they gaved the slig a name...so now my question is who is actuly Squeek?

cos is it the slig,then i must have been missing it,since there i readed about sligstorm had no name anouncing O_o

(sorry if i ask a stupid question but i just wanna get the hang of it ;P )

Squeek is a totally new creature... and is going the third hero of the quintology. (after Abe and Munch)

SligStorm was supposed to be a non-quintology game ;)

how do we know that squeek is next,it sounds like a rat.

does it now

Becuase he's the THIRD as Xav pointed out, number 3. If you count you got the first hero Abe, the second hero Munch, and the THIRD hero Squeek.

Oof.

to me squeek sounds like a grubb or a rat.

erm so...just one question,if Sligstorm wasnt canceled,then would he be the 4nd hero,no?

just wondering...

It will be a new creature.

Actually, I've made a design for Squeek. He's sort of a Chippunk, but he has these huge ears that he can use to create a whoosh of air that starts him hopping along the ground really fast. The ears are made of cartiladge that can harden or soften at any time, so they're a useful sheild, weapon, and glider. Plus he has a tail filled with same cartiladge. So it can be used a hand, weapon, or any other tool. I though it was a cool design. :D

I'd post pictures, but I hid them all somewhere because they sucked.

The slig of Sligstorm was never a Quintology hero.

'Nuf said. :)

The Slig was the hero of Sligstorm, just as Stranger is the hero of Stranger's Wrath. However neither are quintology heroes.

Only confirmed quintology heroes are: Abe, Munch and Squeek. Also mentioned is a hero called Nod, who was supposed to be fourth in the quintology game series.

Adventure and Strategy are THE two best genres out there. Although the Oddworld Inhabitants can do what they will, I would have no issues whatsoever with Oddworld being expressed through either of these mediums...or potentially a blend of both. Oh, wait...they already did that. More on the adventure side really, but controlling your fellow muds and sligs and whatnot adds a nice degree of strategic gameplay. Even Stranger's Wrath had strategy in it, what with different types of ammo that actually did different things for once. Odd be praised.

(Oh, yeah...I'm back! Why wasn't I here? One word: PsychoNauts!)

an action RPG (like Fable, but better) game could be totally awesome on oddworld!!!
but I think I can wait a realy long time before I see that happening.

I agree! And, I agree... It would rule, but I don't see it happening. Perhaps with more exploration than Fable... I love exploring games. :)

oh ok ^_^

but i still want sligstorm badly -__-
aww i guess only time will tell the truth if there will be a light of that game..

the story of the game is still there, we might see it coming out in an other way (comic, short film, ...)

I always imagined Squeek to be a fuzzle. But I don't think the gameplay would be the best if a fuzzle was chosen as one of the heroes plus I think OI have more imagination than that :p.

I voted for adventure by the way.

oh sounds interessting...but i realy hope it will come out as a game (dosnt matther to me if it would come in the first place or later)

but having a slig,and being a cool albino slig as a hero would be soo cool,i mean,Sligs are soo awesome and i never get enough to see some more of them.

It soo fun when you can be one when possesing em,but sadly when played enough or they have allready done theyre duty,they go splat,wich makes me sad until you can posses another one -___-

so having a game with a slig hero,would mean playing a slig without splat ^_^
plus controlling it,talk and see even a gamespeak would be so awesome ^_^

I know there was in AE,it was soo cool to have a closeup on the slig and the other as well,but sadly there wasnt any gamespeak of the enemys in MO,you could only try guess what random insulting words they said,with no much help,like in AO or AE,there you could at least use the words:Look out or get em

I# think it would be nice to be a slig for a change.

2d kicks ass, but if you look to all of the unique things in oddworld, you just want to explore(like the 4d game theory of Oddish), and the simplest way of goaling forward to that is by first making a computer rts style game with patches to constantly upgrade to higher levels of gameplay.(or something)

have little mudokon camps, go explore with a bunch of elum riders,
protect areas with steefs, discover the entire oddworld.
(just a dream)

whats 4d?

(ten characters)

That is the unknown part of gaming (i dont know), maybe its like smellable tv, only better. like feeling/smelling the air, while you are playing, something like that. (i hope)

Fourth Dimention. It's surpasses and more complex than the third dimentional world. 4D is size, lenght, width and depth of something which involves time,and the present. The real world that we are now is 4D.

That was hard to explain. I'm not sure how to tell you the exact meaning.:confused:
Well you get the picture.

Andy's Table Of Dimension Misnomer's:
xyz & time - mostly called 3D - actually 4D
xyz - always called 3D
xy & time - always called 2D - actually 3D
xy - always called 2D

Given that we normally only name something 2D or 3D based on it's distance dimensions, what does it mean to call a game 4D? Does that mean that time goes past much more than it normally does?
For a platform game this is not hard, mostly the game will wait for you to complete bits, if you leave the game unpaused in an empty area for days nothing changes. But a real-time strategy game? Time goes past for all players at once, leave it unpaused and your opponents will build armies and kill you.

Maybe an especially 4D rts game would be one in which as you play the particular mission or the entire campaign, the environment changes with day / night / seasons, non-player characters carry out daily routines, and the success of the campaign changes elsewhere as other players fight battles you are not involved in.

Lorne says that he's some exciting ideas for the next-gen consoles ;)

Really? When did he say that? I'm excited! :D

Me too. It was an artcle, you'll find on Oddblog.

I thought we live in 5D. You know, XYZ+ Time+ Space. :fuzconf: OK, I'm not going there...

Heh, so much for exploring new medias... Haha.

If they go back to games then fine. As long as they aren't exclusive to the Xbox whatever its name is.

Can any amateur programmers make this game online? I'd pay to see this.
