If that's actually Molluck then the timeline is off. Ed supposedly just snapped these pictures ;) The lack of a cigar also makes me think this isn't him (or intended to be him, it might just be a placeholder). Either way, I think we're getting a bit carried away with speculation now.

Ed said he could get pictures. That doesn't necesserially mean he took them. It could be surveillance footage?

that makes a lot of sense for this most recent image. That glukkon seems to be looking right in the camera's direction, and I don't think he'd be alright with a slave snapping his photo

The more I look at that glukkon, it looks like the style from the original Exoddus game rather than the style shown in New 'n' Tasty.

Hmmm... anyway that's the last time I'll mention it, sorry! Just gotta wait for OWI's next move. Gotta love the hype for this!

Wow. That is one beautiful picture. One thing's for sure, this game is going to look amazing.

So aside from the image reveal, what'd I miss?

Scrabaniac 01-26-2017 02:34 PM

I agree with everyone that says the Glukkon looks like Molluck. If this turns out to be true, then I'd place bets on this being a "backstory" cutscene.. Probably showing the beginning of the Mudokon enslavement, or giving a history lesson about how they got there. I'm not sure, but it would be awesome!

Or maybe it isn't a flashback. After all, Molluck isn't dead at the end of AO/NnT.

That would change the entire story as we know it. I'm all for it.

Damn... Sorry for getting a little off-topic, but i'm getting so exited... i think i may do a Human Glukkon for the Comic Con here in brazil!
=) i know a great Cigar place!
But i have something to add in-topic, We don't know if it is a flashback or not (i don't think so) i think a Mudd (Ed maybe) took a secret picture (don't know how) or stole from a Slig..
What i do think is that... This is before the events in Exoddus, possibly even Oddysee, i think this game will explain much more than we believe.

I'm aware that's silly speculation but Molluck could have been demoted (before been judged) after the events of NnT. Moreover, I always thought it was a shame that he didn't appear in AE (given the fact he was meant to in MO).

Whenever people wonder about the capability of Unity, and especially with the Oddworld franchise, I tend to point them towards this as an example of the engine's capabilities.



It's much less about the engine itself and more about what the team behind it are able to do with it. And from what we've seen the team behind Soulstorm seem more than capable.

We haven't seen actual footage of the game so far. Wait and see.

This is more of a comment towards people who seem to take New N Tasty as a standard for what the Oddworld franchise is capable of within the bounds of the Unity engine.

I don't disagree yet these people seem reasonable. I mean, some ex-employees of JAW (like Matt Glanville) are now working on Soulstorm. Like I said: wait and see.

Now that the fixed up image has been released, does anyone want to weigh in on whether or not the Mudokon in the middle is lacking a few fingernails?
