Last time the argument was about the background/foreground and 2D/2.5D/2.2D.

Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus are considered technically 2.5D, because those in game models are definitely semi 3D, but the game takes place entirely in 2D.

The people who made the game are also 3D, so it must be a 2.5D game.

I said we are NOT having this argument. Remember that I can ban even you, Max.

I wasn't joining in the argument, I was parodying it.

Anyone got the beta sprites of the Sligs from the PS1 demo disk? I'd like to use them

They are no different from the final release.

Chubfish 11-10-2010 03:21 PM

I thought the animation for when saying "Freeze" was different, or some other things, or am I mistaken? Or are these in the final release anyway?

They're all in there, its the "about to shoot" one

Chubfish 11-10-2010 04:18 PM

I just thought they looked different slightly, whatever, I'll go extract them myself.

Paul 11-11-2010 02:39 AM

If you shoot and press the dpad in the opposite direction in the psx demo it will make the sligs animation stop, here you can see it is in fact the same as the shooting one ;)

Chubfish 11-11-2010 07:10 AM

Ahh thanks :)

I think I've spotted them blue crystal things hanging from a rope in the Paramonian background. So... if it is them extracted sprites, then it's probably not Abe hanging from a rope YAY! ^^ Maybe some kind of cultural decoration. Possibly, the sprite could just have been to add some animation to the screen to liven it up a bit.. to make it look like it's blowing in the wind. The screens I've posted are the highest parts of Paramonia, so it's likely the sprites are just to demo the windyness at that altitude. in my interpretation anyway..

I think that security thing and the '3-legged stooll' might be part of the same object. They were designed to detect Abe and chase him (they float in the air). The 3 'legs' are actually gun barrels that shoot downwards and once they catch up with Abe, Abe get's shot. I like this idea :)

Paul 01-31-2011 02:01 PM

Awesome, certainly seems that you are correct :D

Scraby 02-01-2011 06:53 AM

I just spotted the crystal thing in Stock Yards. Yeah, it's not exactly the same sprite, but represents the same thing.
