I personally believe they should do an FMV that has nothing to do with the gameplay or story itself, maybe some vague referrences to the story, but thats it. And that FMV can be unlocked with some sort of 'all FMV' cheat thats implemented in the final version of the game.
I, too, thought that screenshot of the last Halo level was Abe. And if Xavier is mistaken and it is Abe the next story may take place when AO takes place and the actual character is some kind of Bounty Hunter looking for Abe. It's kinda weird that the character has Tranq darts in its hat, not the fact they're there, just that they're Tranqs (well, look like that anyway). So yeh, i think they should have some special FMV's just for the trailers and such. When i was into designing games and i had one in mind, for the E3 thing i had thought it would be better for one of the actual characters (who was Lucifer) to introduce it and talk about it whilst he showed screens and shtuffs...yeh...my game would have soooo kicked bootaaaay.... |
Dose anyone know why whenever I start downloading the movie it gets about a quarter done then just stops? Cause I dont know!? Xav, someone please help?

Woops, I meant to say you were not mistaken Xavier.

WOW that is some great footage! I would have replied to this sooner but I was working. All I have to say is that I am deeply impressed with those screen shots. If thats what the gameplay is going to be like then OW4 will be one impressive game let me tell ya in comparison with MO. If thats the gameplay then I was right about eventually playing Oddworld in film style. That is some really impressive stuff. Yep this is exciting times to be an Oddworld fan!:D
I am looking forword to it! Paramiteabe...:fuzblink: |

Perhaps but I do remember a while back Lanning said something about the new game haveing instead of transperencies in the game play enviorments like MO did it will be more film like. OWI is working with an exciting new style of game developement for what I have read thus far. This game is going to be more epic in scale than what Munch was. That was all said by Lorne himself around the time when they started building OW4. He said were working with really exciting things like solid objects in gameplay in otherwords you have a tree in your enviorment that will be solid not fake and transparent like what we saw in MO.
All I know is that OW4 will be and this a fact more film like and epic in scale. Thats what I am going by. |
I think its gameplay. I haven't seen the actual thing but the graphics dont look too special and i'm sure if it was an FMV they would have done better...
|
If that was actual gameplay, it would have the best graphics a game has ever had. I highly doubt it was in-game or in-engine.
|
I'd most likely say it was a movie, it doesn't look like a gameplay area.
Alcar... |
I've finally got it to work! Yes, thats right, I beat the system! But unfortuately (like most of you said) it was just a few seconds long....guess we'll just have to wait till the 20th.:fuzsmile:
|
All I can say is that the footage looks awesome, and I hope that the hunter is the new playable character. Remember that old concept of the guy with a rifle and a shell on his head... might be an early version of this new poucher thing. Xav, could you post the picture I mentioned?

I want to thank everyone here for the warm welcome. This was one of my first posts here (I think) and I'm glad people are enjoying this new footage. I had this forum bookmarked to see if I could find new info on the next Oddworld, but it seems I'm the one bringing in the new Oddworld News.. :) My handle as many of you have seen is G-Xis (Pronounced Gee Sis, or Jesus.) :D I'm pretty well known on the TeamXbox.com Forums and IGN.COM Xbox Boards, and I hope to be well known (and liked) on this fine board. I like many of you, am a Oddworld Fan (Ever since I played the original on the Playstation), and I'm just as excited about the new upcoming footage of the next ODDWORLD title. I'm sure it'll blow us all away. :D Hopefully I'll be able to scour the internet for bootleg footage of the Discovery Channel Special for those that won't be able to watch the show., (Finding rare media is one of my specialities.. :) ) I also want to thank everyone that Private messaged me with thanks and welcome messages (Oddville, atusiya, Mr. X), I appreciate the warm responses. P.S. Mr. X if you want to chat with me just Private Message me your AIM or MSN Screenname, I'm not too familiar with the chat room you mentioned. Thanks :) . |
well, welcome... hope you will enjoy your time here :fuzwink:
anyway It's nice to have a member who is active on other forums, especially on the IGN forum, so we will maybe know the news faster :fuzwink: have a great time here |
Here's the picture Xavier posted a while back in the Spoiler Forum. Just to reminds everyone, he found it in a magazine that was talking about a trip to the OWI Studios. Looks like they nabbed something interesting.

Yea G-Xis your alright in my book. Thanks for the great footage hope to see more cool things! Oh and welcome to OWF and remember stay odd:fuzwink:
Paramiteabe...:fuzblink: |
I hope that shell thing isn't an early concept, that shell thing looks far better than the thing it is now...
|
that looks like a chronicler by the way he's standing with four arms and and holding something like that, but if thats something that we dont know about yet then thats even cooler. thanx for finding that back Max.
:fuzsmile::fuzsmile::fuzsmile: ps: maybe this should be changed to a thread that posts any newfound OW4 stuff, cause it had a good start and now max has posted something as well, i know this probly isnt a good idea but from what i see around (like the discovery channel and clip) there is a small outburst in OWI info, so maybe people should post anything here if they come across anything. |

If you notice the face on that shell thing looks rather similar to the hunter we saw in the other shot. The only difference is that the hunter's face has hair and the face itself has been foreshortened. That shell creature face looks as if it has an enlongated hunter's face. All I know is what ever it is it looks sweet! You never know maybe this thing is the next Oddworld enforcer like the Slig then came the Intern. Now comes this new creature that we are calling right now a Hunter. I like it!
And with that on the mind maybe OW4 is about this guy trying to capture this other character which would be the main hero for a bounty. This is very jucy stuff to go by. You ever see those movies where people get hunted like animals for game by a madman? Maybe OW4 deals with a similar concept of that nature. Like you have these hunters that hunt another species just for profit to make moolah like bounty hunters. Only that these are Oddworld's version of the bounty hunter. Theres another issue to deal with for a good Oddworld plot ya know? Hunting for game to make profit. It once again is another issue like the games previeously. Where Abe delt with food products and the slaughtering of wildlife and destruction of the enviorment. Then you have Munch and his dealings with issues of lonelyness and animal testing. Now we might and its only a theory have this new game that deals with the issues centered around hunting. This is very intresting. |

see no comparison http://www.inhousemedia.net/mf/dude.gif they do not look alike |
PA's idea is relativly good. But it would be better if it was for a Tv show. Were the audience pick a creature to be hunted and then a hunter to hunt it and then allow it to do thus on Tv for ratings. That would actually be a good Tv show in real life.

I am not talking about that picture I am talking about the first picture with that up close photogragh of a creature wearing a hat. In a way it resembols the shell thing through the shape of the face but not by a whole lot. Its the roundness of the two faces that I get this comparison from in a very small way. What I mean it could be the same thing but the shell thing is an early stage or concept of the character. Heck for all we know it could be a Khanzumer which would be intresting.

http://www.imgmag.org/images/tase1z/O1.JPG what the hell are you talkin about!? they dont look alike! at least i dont think.... |
I know they don't look alike. They look completely different but I am looking at how the face is slightly curved in both pictures. But thats only me. So I wouldn't try getting what I am looking at thats just what I see. So sorry to confuse you there. Anyway what this whole idea I am saying is that maybe the two pictures are the pictures of the same character in different stages of development. In other words same character different concepts of it. Thats all.

Me too I hope I am wrong about it as well. I like the shell thing aswell. Maybe this character will look different when the game does come out. Maybe have the shell design but instead of the shell on the head make it more like on the body. Kind of a combo of both designs. I don't know!
One thing I know is that in conceptual art you have to create several peliminary drawings of the same idea where each one is different. Then you go and get your work reviewed and you pick the one everyone likes and you go back and improve on the design make changes but work with that shape. But that is the whole idea of going to such great lengths in designing characters. You get a whole veriety of different designs for the same character. So what we see is only two pictures and those might not be even the design. There could be hundreds more that we don't even know about. |
sorry guys but I see no similitudes between those creatures :fuzwink: except the gun, but nothing of the creature itself
|
http://www.inhousemedia.net/mf/dude.gif
I still can't make heads or tails of this. If I squint it kind of could be an Easter Island statue, or else it look pretty warthog-ish. Can anyone give a useful description? |
well i think it looks kid of like the rhino, and a hammerhead shark's face, a big rhino like jaw and ears and the hammerhead seem to take effect for the shape of the eyes
|
They definitely look different to me. Its like comparing Elum and Sam, kind of the same head shape, but nothing else at all.

Heck it can be Khanzumer for all we know. What would you people think if it was Khanzumer? I am impressed with it none the less!:D
|
sorry but this looks like more like a forest/jungle creature, and not a city resident
|
Oh yea I forgot Khanzumers are city people duh! This thing looks like it would be some kind of loner or rouge. A rouge who follows no body except himself.

That in itself makes you wonder about the character's mental stability. |
that's SWEET!!!!!!!!! to bad i don't have cable

what do you need cable for?
