it's amazing I've never heard about that.

Okay lemme clear things up. If you decide Oddworld is all about Abe, stop playing, quit the forums. Because Oddworld will NOT be all about Abe. We need more of the new stuff as well as the old stuff. I thought Stranger's Wrath was beautiful, it really gave off that Oddworld feel. Sorry MeechShrykull, but Stranger being Squeek is a retarded idea. It's been said thousands of times that Stranger's Wrath isn't part of the quintology, and it isn't going to be. Squeek will most likely be of a new species or one which hasn't been mentioned often.

I know this is alittle off the recent discussion, and I know that interview says Nod is just a rummor but I swear I heard Lorne mention it as part of the Quintology after Squeek. It was in this CD I got with the AO strategy guide for PC, it was with GW press. I've been looking for it, but now I'll look harder.
..And for the Habitales and Fearitales, I still have the original text that describes them from the original Oddworld site- the one before the Ten years site. Just thought I'd put it out there if anyone wants me to put it up. |
Wow. Have you got anything else from the original Oddworld site?
|
yeah I got as much as I could from the old site. I have all the old character profiles and stars and maybe some other stuff.
|
Oooh. I'm sure Xavier and Max would love to get their hands on that stuff.
Also, one item I've been wanting to get my hands on for years; do you have the page that said a story about how some beaurocrat at GT Interactive didn't like Abe's Oddysee, so he set up a meeting between Lorne and his boss. He anticipated that the boss would immediately cancel the game but instead he liked it so much that he increased the budget, drawing resources away from that beaurocrat's projects. |
I've got plenty of texts from the old site, but I'd love to have yours too in case I missed something! And of course, everything else that's oddworld related.
And I'd love the content of that cd too :D |
My bad it was txts when they first announced MO and the other is HoO is must have remembered differently. I printed out alot of the old stuff when I was young and somehow still have it. The other stuff I have is the old Oddworld history page, SoulStorm nutritional facts, Bill the blind mudoken as Employee of the Month, and just a whole bunch of magazine articles of MO.
Xav, I'll be looking for that CD bud:) I just cant remember where I put it but It's gotta be here somewhere, I also remember it showing them sculpting one of their clay modles of some unknown creature that I don't think I've even seen in concept art; definately gotta find it now. |
We had all the text from the old Oddworld.com on TOA, I’ve still got it, and it’ll go up on TOS when I find the time. I can’t find anything about your favourite anecdote, though, Nate.
This CD is a bit of an enigma. I’ve asked people before if they have it, but they’ve never made any promises to find it and share the contents. If you can recover this stuff, Oddsville, we could only love you more. (And Happy 1600th Post.) |
I've been kicking myself for the last two months that I forgot to ask Lorne about it.
|
Thanks Max:) Yeah, I spent part of the day lookin for the CD but then had to run off to work. I will find it..I will get my love...I..WILL..get it.
and Nate, when did you get to talk to Lorne? Lucky bastard |
|
Awsome, how'd you manage to get an interview with him? Oh, btw I just found the CD I just gotta figure out how to get it online...
Edit- Ok, so I was wrong about him mentioning Nod but there are still really good interviews on here with alot of info and some nice artwork in the background. I've just loaded the on interview where Lorne talks about the Quintology onto Youtube, and will load the rest later (its almost 1am here). I'll get to work as soon as I can to get the rest up and I'll let you know which ones have the interesting artwork and where. Enjoy the first one.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avwA-lDeYqQ |
Nice video, takes me waaaay back...
Thank you very much for this. :D |
Sorry if I join the discussion so late :(. I heard about these games in a PDF file of AE's manual for PC. I've got AE for PlayStation but there isn't that page in the manual, although it's original. I want to attach the page (it's Italian). All I know about these series is that Hand of Odd was the first game in the Habitales series. I also found some screenshots here http://oddworld.dreamhost.com/oddwor...handofodd.php?. But this is just about Hand of Odd.
