Abe Babe made the design (It rocks!)
Alcar has to do all the code plus he's the Server Gourou
and I will Upload and class all the pictures

at least I think that's it

Sekto Springs 02-08-2004 05:18 AM

what i'm saying, Xav is that you had to put all your pictures on CDs because you dont have enough memory, how could you fit almost 3 CDs worth on one server?

Xavier 02-08-2004 05:26 AM

hmmmm...my CD's aren't 100% full with pictures (7cd's now)... there are video, texts, flash, websites (that's right, I saved the VykkersLabs.com).
and if I can't put everything on I'm sure we will find some solution.

Sekto Springs 02-08-2004 05:30 AM

I know that not all your Cds are pics, that's why I said "3 Cds worth".

Xavier 02-08-2004 05:32 AM

true... well Alcar was doing like there was no problem at all, so lets hope there wil be no problem at all

paramiteabe 02-08-2004 06:32 AM

You have the right picture SS of the shell man but your thumbnail is wrong. here is the picture I am talking about. He is green and you can't make out his face and he looks as if he is wearing sort of a red ribbon type of thing around his face. I dunno what the heck that red thing is. This is the guy I am talking about. This has to be the shell man. Look closely at my attachment and you will notice that the head of this green guy looks very closely like the head of the shell man only at a different angle and green. The shape is real close and I have no doubt it is shell man. I think Shell man is going to be in Stranger as one of the poachers and thats my own observation.

Whoa! That's weird. I thought cloning was...not allowed.

-oddguy :fuzzle:

I would call this a special case.

Sekto Springs 02-08-2004 07:11 AM

Thats some large backpack or something. If you look you can see that the straps wrap around the guy below him and that it's being carried on his back, what i'm saying is that i dont think that's a creature, It's some thing that he carries on his back with red straps.

Xavier 02-08-2004 07:47 AM

PA, I don't think that's a Shell-Creature... Even if his style and desing would fit in the whole new Stranger Game look

I still think that concept was for Munch's Oddysee, and was later scrapped. But who knows yet, it could be implemented as your suggesting PA in Stranger. We just have to wait and see.

Xavier 02-08-2004 08:01 AM

hmmm the concept was spotted in the period when lots of reporters could go inside the studio and make reports, it was part of the promotion compain of MO... but I can't recall if MO was already done.

But by OWI, if something isn't used directly, it won't be trowed away. It will make it in a later game.

You do have a point. And I'll be glad to see hopefully a lot of the stuff left out of Munch Oddysee, in perhaps Munch's Exoddus, or later. :fuzsmile:

Mind you, I remember some loof complaining about how they were fed up of one-legged creatures as MO was coming out, tee hee hee

loof am i...

Khanzumer 02-08-2004 08:47 PM

I don't understand why OWI isn't using some of their older concepts, such as skeeters, meetles and octigi. Some of those old designs were very unique and would add more diversity to the characters we have seen in Stranger so far. Maybe because they want this game to be so seperate from the rest of the series... But I definitely think they should stick a huge gloktigi in a future game as a creature Abe is able to possess.

I think that they are still using them, but were created for a specific role in the Quintology, which would explain why they aren't there. Stranger's game wasn't originally planned, so they want to reserve the debut of these creatures for when they're needed (i.e. Munch's Exoddus). That's what I think, anyway.

Oddsville 02-10-2004 05:15 AM

Hey at school right now, but just went to the OWI site and they've put a new pic in place of the old one for the Stranger game link....not that big of news but just wanted something to do while I sit here...yep..*walks off*.

Xavier 02-10-2004 06:51 AM

Thanx Oddsville...
hmmm it's less informative then the previous one:

paramiteabe 02-10-2004 07:03 AM

Mann I can't wait to see the gameplay of this game. We saw portions of it in X-Factor and they looked amazeing in detail. Odd knows what it looks like now. I am looking forward to playing in that lush envirorment depicted in the picture. I know its most likely a CG movie but I am pretty sure there will be gameplay in that area. As I drool thinking about the new Oddworld game! :fuzsmile:

Al the Vykker 02-10-2004 12:33 PM

Yeah I agree, I want to see some actual gameplay footage, and not that early test stuff. We allready have seen just how good the CGI FMV sequences were a year ago, I can only imagine how far they've come from that point. :fuzsmile:

Sekto Springs 02-10-2004 01:30 PM

yes, and imagine that it was only the incomplete rough spin!

http://www.inhousemedia.net/mf/dc5.gif

http://www.inhousemedia.net/mf/dc1.gif

http://www.inhousemedia.net/mf/dc10.gif

The imagery is brilliant! Just imagine the results of the final spin! My mind can hardly comprehend it! :fuzgrin:

Xavier 02-11-2004 06:25 AM

there weren't much visual gameplay details in the X-Factor, you coul easely see it was absolutly not finished, I hope a hell lot of details in gameplay is on the way

Oddsville 02-11-2004 11:13 AM

Well I belive that we'll be getting our first true viewing of Stranger starting tomorrow (I've done investigating :fuzwink: ) , the 12th. I also belive that we'll be seeing something of Oddworld's at this years E3....

However, all this was done by my investigating and Im not confirming this is at all true...but let us hope it is..:)

oddguy 02-11-2004 12:17 PM

*crosses fingers* I hope you're right!:D

Yeah that, and remember the sequence of him coming up the river, that left me in awe during the X Factor show. :fuzsmile:

Xavier 02-12-2004 09:39 AM

Oddsville, news today? what do you mean?
I want to know!!! ;)

oddguy 02-12-2004 10:26 AM

Yeah, I'm still waiting on this news. Checked OW.com, google news and nothing I can see is new...yet.

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Oddsville 02-12-2004 11:19 AM

Well I got a my hunch from the Polygon magasine website. Seince I haven't been able to find a copy here yet I went to look for related articles on the site and found one that mentioned an Xbox type of confrence in Japan we're they'd be "showing off" all thier lattest games. It supposedly starts today and ends tomorrow, but this is where I thought that the reporters at Polygon might have gotten their info on the next game.

Sekto Springs 02-12-2004 12:21 PM

wait a while, if we look around I'm sure will find something.

Unfortunately though as we know Munch's Oddysee didn't even make it to Japan. So on one hand I really can't see anything related to Stranger being shown at a Japanese event.

Also, I am a frequent visitor of Japanese gaming websites [although I can't really understand what they are talking about most times, but get a rough idea from articles I'm interested in through a translation program]. I did see a reference or two to this the other day, so on doing some further checking now, this is more of a interactive tour for the public [like the Xbox Experience kind of thing] as opposed to a E3 or TGS kind of thing. So they are showcasing games like Halo and Project Gotham Racing 2 game, etc in three Japanese cities.

http://www.itmedia.co.jp/games/gsnew...13/news03.html

It has a list of games that were shown, but half of them are in Japanese, so they are likely Japanese games. The article also goes on to talk about a competition involved with the tour and the latest Xbox offer in Japanese stores.

I stopped by Borders today to take a look at Polygon Magazine and see the Oddworld thing. Well, not much to see this month about Oddworld actually. At the very last page it says, "Next Month: Life on Oddworld" and has a graphic of karate blob and salamander behind a white background. Blob and sal look exactly as they do on the OW Christmas card, except that added is the blob holding a staff, and a small hermit crab looking thing is at the foot of the page. I didn't even buy it, so I'm looking forward to Polygon Next Month.

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Xavier 02-16-2004 11:17 AM

why didn't you buy it? :crying:
I wanted to see it soooo much!

oddguy 02-16-2004 11:21 AM

Sorry, Xav. Another reason I didn't buy it was because I had no money with me!:p I just wanted to see the Oddworld thing in Polygon. I didn't feel bad for not having money with me after I saw it though. It was a pic we've seen before that was minorly spiced up...if you could call it that. I'm sure Next Month Polygon is going to have stuff that is a lot better. I'm planning on buying that one!:D

Have we seen the staff blob and crab? If so, where?

Xavier 02-17-2004 06:40 AM

ok, no prob Oddguy... there is no problem with that
anyway I would love to see it!

Al the Vykker 02-17-2004 11:47 AM

Be sure to scan the stuff so we can see it. :fuzsmile:

Alcar 02-17-2004 09:00 PM

We have seen the 'crab' before. TheKhanzumer pointed it out on the bottom left of the Christmas card.

Alcar...

Game Over
 
Oddworld have put up a link to the Game Over website, the show looks okay i guess. It would be worth taping for the abe and munch cameo, and if they show clips of Stranger, well worth it. We haven't got UPN in the UK, X-factor hasn't even been on yet.

It looks as though March is going to be an exciting month, with Game Over, GDC, Polygon mag and any updates from Oddworld.

True, but I would also like to see the stuff if theres any next month. Im still looking forward though to the UPN thing as long as I still get it. :fuzsmile:

Xavier 02-19-2004 09:12 AM

can someone put some video from the TV to the pc?
I don't think the part where Oddworld appears will be very long

Maybe, but none the less it will be interesting to see a little more Stranger :fuzwink:
