I wouldn't mind seeing a bridge between AE & MO, Abe saving the remaining Mudokons.

Wil 12-16-2010 04:42 PM

Remaining Mudokons? Like the ones that were still slaves at the start of MO?

Andrelvis 12-16-2010 06:43 PM

Like Sam?

ziggy 12-16-2010 07:25 PM

Yes, maybe we should finally freakin see Sam.

they should come back to their impressive unique style showed in the first two games. no speaking chicken, no western scenario, no one eyed sheeps, etc. neat designs and a brilliant atmo made oddworld this popular (also gameplay of course). what they do with the story is less important.

Xavier 12-18-2010 11:14 AM

The story is what kept this forum alive during those last 6 game-less years.

mojito 12-18-2010 04:24 PM

well the story has a big influence to the atmosphere of a game, so my last sentence before wasnt right...

Someone mentioned earlier that "Quintology" is a dumb thing to name a series. Well, it's not actually. A quintology means a series of five, be it a book, game or movie. Like trilogy, or tetralogy. Just thought I'd point that out, it's not the name of the series, but stating what the series is.

The Oddworld Quintology = The Oddworld Five Games

I don't think it was the story, but rather the atmosphere, the world of the series. It was all rather unique. That the storytelling was good (specially in Abe's Oddysee's case) was a plus, but doesn't seem the most important to me.

In theory, yes. In reality, 'Quintology' is a made up word. The real word that means a series of five is 'pentalogy'.

STM 12-24-2010 05:02 AM

Really? I didn't know that, I thought pentalogy was the name for the series before it collapsed. But then pent = 5. Thank you for enlightening me Nate.

kjjcarpenter 12-24-2010 05:38 AM

You may call it a made up word, but it is much the same as "quadrilogy", which is used for a number of different compilations, by taking the Latin prefix instead of the more common English one. Tetralogy being the more correct term, but sounding far less graceful, if you ask me. Although grammatically speaking they are made-up words, they are, in a sense, technically accurate.

Apart from all the literacy mumbo-jumbo, I personally believe quadrilogy sounds far better than pentalogy. Also, it may just be me, but it comes off as sounding like "Odd-ology". Quintology; Oddology. Probably just be me.

Manco 12-24-2010 05:41 AM

"The Oddworld Oddology"

kjjcarpenter 12-24-2010 05:44 AM

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect reason why they didn't name it that, lol.

"Quintology" sounds far better though.

Erase Munch's Oddysee from history and make it The Oddworld Quoddrilogy.

Wil 12-26-2010 08:35 AM

That would be weird considering Munch has an important role to play in at least Squeek’s Oddysee.

Which is...?

:D

He's the last Gabbit, and it's thought that research into Gabbits will reveal the cure for Gorman Disenza, a fatal disease that affects the rich, including a certain family member of a certain boss of a certain slaughterhouse who's been funding research organizations to develop a cure.

Are you serious or making that up?

Wil 12-27-2010 12:03 PM

I love that I have such a reputation for bullshitting that I get dubious looks when I'm telling the truth. :p

Check out Nate's amazing interview with Lorne.

Actually I see you post mostly sensible posts :p

I wanted to confirm the information because I thought we didn't know that much about Squeek.

GlukkonGluk 12-28-2010 07:48 AM

Oh, that's interesting- they are already used as lung transplants for Glukkons. Clearly, curing illness is Munch's "thing".

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 12-30-2010 09:02 AM

finally someone talking some sense, thank you meech munchie, if the first two games wernet half as good as they were, i would of lost intres in oddworld after munch's oddysee, i dont know anyone who considers it the best, it was quite a big step down, except from the younger audiences.
