I love the Boardroom. I like the boiler part (the final level) in Abe's Exoddus better though, Its way more harder and intense then the boardroom.
|
To be honest my favourite part of it was the first time you use it, with all those sligs, it looked so cool with explosions etc. Muahahahaha many happy chuckles out of that. (Although theboardroom did look cool, sadly you dont get to see it, what with the speed you have to press the buttons :()

I know, time sure goes fast doesn't it? ;)
If you want to see the boardroom sometime, it's the last image on this page: http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/PSX/Oddworld-Abe'sOddysee-RuptureFarms-BoardRoom.png It isn't a very big image, but still the best you can get. |
I think OWI should have made a special Xbox cd with AO and AE on it.It would have cost like 20 or 30 bucks,or they could have ptu it in bundle with Munch or Stranger.
|
Why bother? It's hardly standard videogame industry practice, and would probably only have been bought by fans, and even then only if it came packaged with something fresh - as Lorne keeps noting, the gaming environment has changed. People don't want platformers any more.
|
^ That is indeed a very sad and painful truth max. Platformers are replaced with these FPS and RPG's. Sure I like some but it just makes me angry thinking about it :mad:.
|
Strictly speaking, people didn't want platformers when AO came out either.
|
Im sorry but, what are Platformers?
Do you mean like 2D? |
:
Cullen, a platformer is any game whose primary gameplay is the navigation of series of platforms and obstacles/enemies. |
actually Lorne said that 2D platformers weren't "in" at the moment of AO's release
|
Ok thanks. If Lorne said 2D platformers werent in at that time, Why did he make one?
|
Because back then he didn't care what the market thought. He did his own thing and was proved right. He went 2d because he thought that the 3d technology wasn't yet good enough to create a world rich enough to fulfill his vision.
|
He was damn right!Even though they weren't 3D,AO and AE were great!Players just don't appreciate old concepts like they should.Sure,new games are fun,but taking old concepts like 2D platforms and putting some on new consoles would not be bad.2D platforms still has it fans!
|
Me being a one of them! I love platformers, they are so much easier to control, and it is far cooler to veiw because you can see infront behind above below all at the same time, and it is simple to add puzzles etc. (although the reason I am a fan is probably because I couldn't stop playing them :D)
|
I think it would be brilliant if Lorne made another 2D game, just with better graphics and harder challenges on the 360. I would play it all day every day!
|
^ Meh that would be a waste of money since many people will be turned off seeing it's 2D. On a side note who got the 360?
|
No, I mean VERY NICE 2D graphics, bassicly 3D but it has that nice little 2D touch.
|
^Wouldn't sell, sawrea.^
:
|
Yeah your correct, it would only sell to true Oddworld fans.
|
:
|
I know, only fans would buy it. Wouldnt it be cool to have a Munch's Oddysee in 2D though? I think that would be so cool to see Munch in 2D!
|
I don't agree, 2D today would be suicide, except if it's at a very low price, but then they wouldn't make much profit.
On the other hand OWI has alway claimed to be an 3D oriented studio, the fact they did 2D games at first was because 3D didn't look pretty back in time. |
Yes, but don't you think it would be cool to see Munch(not Munch's Oddysee, Munch himself)have to do all those hard problems Abe had to go through?
I know it would not make that much money, Im just saying it would be cool. |
Oddworld always have fresh new ideas, that's what makes then alive and keep on going. They're not the type of company that would remake a game with similarity with the same ideas, unless they realy wanted to. They are an innovative developer.
|
I think OWI could make a bonus 2D Munch game that could be bundled with a special edition of their next game.You would have the 360 with the latest Oddworld game and the Munch side-adventure game!That would be a dream pack,I tell you!
|
Thats exactly what I mean, just a little fun something.
|
Like I said,OWI could take some time between two games to make a bundle.Like,for the AO/AE disc,they wouldn't need to arrange anything on the games that would take too much time.Just make a conversion and put it as a bonus with a new game.And the Munch side-adventure would not be a bad idea,too.If they could make Oddworld games for the Game Boy Color,why don't they take the time for another 2D game?They just need to bundle it with their next game!
|
OI didn't make those gameboy games. They just gave nintendo permission to make them.
|
Sorry,my mistake.Still,the packs I talked about would still be great!
|
I think Munch as a side-scroller would be a mistake. I mean, Munch's controls were irritating enough as it is (except for when he was in the water) so restricting them to two dimensions would just make it more noticable.
|
Well,you got a point here.Munch control's were bad,so a game with Munch alone would be troubles,because in MO,Abe was as important as Munch.Munch practically depended on Abe to advance.
|
Maybe Munch could always be in a wheelchair or Abe could carry him.
|
Even with the wheelchair, munch's moves are too limited for a platform game, particularly as he can't jump very high.
|
Of all the things that irritated me when playing through Munch's Oddysee, Munch's controls did it the least. It's more a case of finding it incredibly dull to try and get him from one end of the level to the next, but then MO did that always. I even got bored of watching the camera swivel whenever I jumped in a well - that never happened in the first games. MO was just a slow game that lacked excitement. Being chased by a herd of Scrabs just turns out to be dull.
In principle, I like the idea of having to use two separate characters tactically, but it does actually double all the tedious travelling around in a game. |
I really LOVED Munch's Oddysee. I liked how you could run around being chased by Scrabs, because that way you can lead them into bombs and do all sorts of exiting things.
