It depends on how long ME will be.

Wil 06-19-2002 05:20 PM

Actually, unless the storyline has changed as much as MO's did, ME will let us see Sligs closer than we ever have done before.

Proof: Paul O'Conner's designer diaries. I forget which one, now, since you now have to be a paying member of Gamespot to see them. :fuzmad:

Oddsville 06-19-2002 05:25 PM

That sounds pretty cool, I hope ME comes out soon!:fuzsmile:

I read all of them but I don't remember what you are talking about... can you refrech my mind please?

dripik 09-01-2002 09:14 AM

I have voted for "bring back old creatures".

It vould be cool if those old facilities should work with a new glukkon that looks like his elder (like Dir. Phleg or something else). :D

And Elum should help at everywhere in the game.

Xavier 09-01-2002 09:16 AM

yes the elum back would be realy great!
please can we have it back:fuzsmile:

Oddsville 09-01-2002 12:02 PM

Well reading though this topic again I seem to really like Gluk Schmuks ideas. Basiclly I want all that was gonna be in the origanal game (but taken out) and prehaps with alittle revision? One other thing that I would love to have back is the music. Yes, I remember playing through AO and AE while having beutiful and emotional music in the background. When I played MO it seemed as if all the music was gone? Music is part of the feeling of the game and there wasn't really any of it in MO? I just hope we get some of our requests filled in ME, but I still exreemly apreciate the hard work that OWI puts into its game just for us!:fuzwink:

Xavier 09-01-2002 01:01 PM

I see what you mean, that mistical and industrial music and sounds, that was a realy great.
MO have often bad quotes for the sound

paramiteabe 09-02-2002 11:41 PM

I want to see the original things we already know plus a whole lot of new and cool things. Like weather changes, sound that makes you feel your really there, endless envirorments that you can walk into and keep going. Like for instance there is a mountain way out in the back ground you will then be abel to walk all the way out there. Thats what I want endless platform envirorments that are real looking and makes you feel you are in an actual film than a video game. That is my cup of tea! Of course I can come up with a thousand more things but my hand is tired of typing!:smokin:

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

General Drippik 09-03-2002 05:22 AM

bring back elum. yeh.

that was how MO was planned I hope the same for ME

Oddsville 09-03-2002 11:27 AM

Well I don't quite think that the enviorments where planned to keep going like in Final Fantasy online, but they where rather huge.

Xavier 09-03-2002 11:35 AM

I had understand MO will be a huge place in MO and we will get different missions concidered as lavels but everything in that big place.

Oddipus 09-03-2002 02:42 PM

I didn't vote because all the ideas are good ( exept less spooceshrub would be better then no spooceshrubs at all)

The games have been great this far, but it's OWI's goal to improve, so I 'll also try to help by adding my wishlist:
  • extended gamespeak
  • old creatures
  • MULTIPLAYER
  • more difficult (MO was far too easy)
  • SECRETS (like in AO, not like AE were the bottles told you were to go)
  • Posession of a funny thing (fart for instance)

Any OWI idea is a good one, so actualy I don't care too much
Voila

Xavier 09-03-2002 03:54 PM

multiplayer? good idea but how?

Oddipus 09-04-2002 05:17 AM

there was a topic before where we discussed multiplayer possibilities. One thing for sure: no split screen.

(LIVE, system link,...)

example of multiplayer on only 1 XBOX:
In MO, two players: one controls Munch, the other controls Abe.
When you're close enough to each other, you can both move in the same screen.
If you rather control the other guy, swap your controller with your neigbour (or selecting from an easy to access selection screen).
The camera should follow the player that hits the black button. So when you are to far away from each other, just hit the black button and you can play. The gameplay should provide enough puzzles that involve all characters, so you can play together us much as possible.

Xavier 09-04-2002 02:28 PM

hmmm, maybe but I don't realsy see how they would make a game with that.

plus I meaned, not how to play, but what kind of game they will do

ethan 09-04-2002 04:45 PM

i voted for FART POSSESION because if you want to kill someone from a sertain disstans and go for a bad quarma ranking.
IT IS JUST A FART AWAY!!!:D

Xavier 09-04-2002 05:04 PM

:

and go for a bad quarma ranking.
what do you mean?

Oddsville 09-04-2002 06:16 PM

I too look forward to seeing multiplayer in the Oddworld Quintology, but in the Munch's Exoddus way. Kinda like age of empires where you choose a civilizeation and build thier empire then either make peace or destroy the other civilizations and from what I know so far on ME (if they still kept it in the game?) it sounds as if its gonna revolutionize this type of gyrne (is that the right word?) for games.

General Drippik 09-06-2002 07:43 AM

Methane gas possession would be nice. Fart.

scrabinator 09-06-2002 11:56 AM

I'd like all these things in ME. But the spooceshrubs never bothered me. One of the reasons I love Oddworld is because of the strange and unique creatures. So I defanately want more creatures and the old creatures. I like the creatures so much.:D I would also like Abes original voice back. His new voice is alright but I liked the old one a lot better.:) I would also like it to be a lot more challenging. I finished MO in a few days.:(

Xavier 09-06-2002 02:44 PM

I saw a site where they said MO was too dificult!
I can't believe. I just want it difficult... it is just too easy

dripik 09-10-2002 05:05 PM

Well, I haven't played MO yet, but I think it just looks difficult. I'm sure if someone spends some time to practice (even me :D ), it wouldn't be hard to play it.

Xavier 09-10-2002 05:07 PM

well, I'm not a big big fan of video games, and MO was a way too easy... If you die, it's because you wanted it, nothing more

Shady15 09-11-2002 02:26 PM

I voted for better ranks.

I was overjojed when i found out there would be different kinds of sligs in munch, i was so sick of just poppers and fliging sligs!:D

meech-venerator 09-21-2002 09:41 AM

I guess u all know what I want... kind'uv obvious from my name: meeches, yep... and also time passing, days and nights, ye know... and a good nocturnal creature would be (yes, u guessed right) meeches!(sorry, I'm just obsessed)
that's about it, since I haven't played MO yet, which is too bad.:(

Xavier 09-21-2002 10:03 AM

meeches will probably be in Hand Of Odd, don't worry...

meech-venerator 09-21-2002 11:45 AM

oh I'm not worrying about that... what I'm worrying about is will I ever get to play with'em(no Xbox for me, in the near future, that is)

dripik 09-22-2002 02:06 PM

well, even if they are extincted, they will be in Hand of Odd...
But not in ME or these games, I think... :fuzconf:

BigBro 09-24-2002 02:19 AM

*Thinks for a while*.....What would I like in the next OW game? Probably more music. I dont have MO yet, but people have told me that there isnt as much music in it as the previous. I loved the music in the other games as it added to the overall feel of the game. If there is no music in a game, it makes it feel empty and cold.

I would also like more GameSpeak. Having a conversation with another creature sounds really kool and fun. I would also probably like to see some more creatures, like maybe some aquatic creatures (if they dont already have any [other than Munch]), it would be kool to interact with them with Munch while underwater.

The idea of time transitions sounds alright, in theory, but if they did include it, it probably wouldnt make the game any better. I would like to see some kind of transition though, but in a programmed manner, i.e. once you have finished a certain area, you go somewhere to rest, then wake up at night or something, then once you have done something at night like infiltrating a factory of some kind, you come out just to see the sun rise (which would probably look good on the Xbox). Basically what Im saying is, have time transitions, but make it so its still part of the story, not dependant on how long the player stays in a certain area.

I would also like to have more intelligent AI, i.e. smoking Sligs, conversing creatures etc. And creating shadows seems like fun to. When OWI first released information about MO, they had a bunch of Videos available for download, and I downloaded a couple of them. In one of them you see Abe running inside a factory. He climbs down a ladder and waits in some shadows, then a Slig climbs down another ladder, walks forward a little and lights up a smoke. Then Abe sneaks up behind him and throws him onto one of those Recycler things. The idea of sneaking around makes it worth while.

And from what Ive gathered, they should have better screen transitions. I liked it when we saw how Abe got to a certain part after finishing a level, like after the first part of Rupture Farms when he enters the stockyards. Or when he blows up Necrum Mines, get shot out of a hole and lands on an Elephant statue on his...........Mummy-Daddy button.

But these are just my opinions, they dont really count that much...

Wil 09-24-2002 04:35 PM

No, OWI are very interested in what their fans think. Did you ever wonder why in AE there were no Bats? It was because some fans really hated the parts of the game that had Bats.

I did you notice that Mudokon didn't have personalities as such in AO, but they did in AE? Well, for that we can thank one fan who got in contact with OWI and suggested giving the Mudokons more individuality. Then when AE came out, this gimp actually had the nerve to sue OWI. OWI may not take specific requests on board any more, but I know if we make our desires known, we will be listened to.

Besides, you have some good ideas.

Xavier 09-24-2002 05:05 PM

that's why the annoying parts like bats and sticky balls are not in AE... thank you so much OWI.
