Yeah, I understood it.

Of course, I would prefer another story set on Oddworld before anything else... |

|
All of Lorne's plans for Oddworld... I hope he wrote them down somewhere!
|
Why? He’s still there.
|
I am consistently doubtful of Oddworld Inhabitants. Naught but letdown and confusion since Stranger's Wrath. Blah! Blah!
|
But there's been naught but naught in that time...
|
thats probably why Kimons doubtful

I have to admit that at times, I've been a bit worried (and annoyed) for the future of Oddworld ever since Stranger's Wrath; its probably the looooong wait combined with absolutely no info whatsoever that fuelled this. But we've stuck in there and slowly, but surely things are looking brighter; I have to say Nate, your interview with Lorne was one inspiring read that makes one just yearn for more Oddworld delights.
I suppose in years to come we can look back over these comments and then laugh merrily over our wavering disbelief in Lorne & Sherry, whilst we hopefully ready ourselves to go out & queue in line at the local Odeon for the matinee premiere of "Oddworld: The Big Screen Adventure" (hopefully it will have a better name than that, though). Then we'll see how foolish we were really being. :D ;) |
That would be something worth meeting up for, at any rate. Guests of honour at the premier, if we're lucky.
|
Well, I know at least the mods and administrators should get the privelege to see the premiere, but it would indeed be awesome to all go together.
I doubt OWI will disappoint us as much as they did with MO or SW again. Stranger's Wrath wasn't even that bad, it could've been worse, but it turned out to be an okay game. Thing is, they wanted to try something different, and a lot of fans didn't like it. But you have to think, they probably had all those years planning AO, and that's why it turned out so well. We're not going to see any news on the new game anytime soon, so that means they'll have had years to make this game, meaning it'll be decent. |
Well, OWI was founded in 1994, so AO had 2-3 years actual development time. It was another age back then, when you could actually develop a new code with an entirely novel engine in a year without an army of supermen programmers working 24/7.
|
Although that is how they created the A.L.I.V.E. engine…
|
They didn't invest in that ethically questionable genetic engineering program for nothing.

please note that by calling it shit, I'm not dissing it. |
It's bigger than any other faecal deposit anyone else ever made, thus trumping them all. In a world of excrement, only size matters. And, I supposed; fragrance, consistency, colour and content. But they don't count for video games.
|
Shapiro better not screw up, otherwise he'd have a whole horde of angry computer nerds(generalization) on his tail.
|
:
Don't get me wrong, I love Stranger's Wrath. I think its a brilliant game, love it to pieces; I meant that after OWI released it we didn't really hear anything else but disappointments and silence. |
:
For the record, I think Stranger's Wrath was an extraordinary game. Much better than MO. |
Stranger's Wrath was more of a case of starting with the game you wanted to make and building on it from there. MO was like getting fifteenth century Europeans to build the Empire State building in its current location in half the time.
|
I haven't been able to play SW before.

|
I meant I haven't played it yet, but I will probably get it on stream when it comes out.
|
Who was his prevoius? I haven't understood it :fuzgrin:
|
:
|
Intelligible enough to me. Perhaps AiN is speaking at too high a level for you OANST?
The previous president of Oddworld Inhabitants was Lorne. Now he's stepped aside from that role to focus on being creative director. |
:
|
I think Nate was specifically answering AIN’s question.
|
:
|
It all seems like good news to me. Lorne's now free to do everything he does best without getting bogged down by all of the paperwork, and Citizen Siege will have time to breathe. I'd rather wait a while than see an Oddworld movie next year that didn't live up to my expectations, because I have to admit they're pretty high.
|
Well, the good news is that you're definately not going to see an Oddworld movie next year that won't live up to your expectations.
|
does that mean no movie or CS is coming out next year now?
|
It's pretty safe to assume nothing is coming out next year as no official announcements have been made.
|
Oh how I wish I had powers in Zulag one.
Makes W&B seem like heaven. |
.
How could this happen?! He better not mess this up, or else there's going to be a really big riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
A riot of one if need be!
Look, man. Something needed to be done. There are some good ideas rolling around in that place but there have been some bad business decisions as well. We will never see anything if the money dries up. |
Right, good point.
|
oddworld shall rise!
|
and then handout cupcakes!!!
