There is an answer. It is coming soon.

Bullet Magnet 08-14-2012 05:38 AM

Is it, though?

Nate 08-14-2012 06:18 AM

It's edited, marked up and uploaded online. We're just waiting on Lorne to clarify a few details and then it'll be posted publically.

Here's a question: Does Wil now know the full story of the Quintology, and if he does will he every admit it?

Manco 08-15-2012 09:41 AM

Wil has discovered the terrifying truth about Nod’s role in the story. He will never divulge that information to save us all from certain despair.

So what will oddworld be like is it going to be the same game with the same cutscenes, or will there be new gameplay?

Nepsotic 08-23-2012 06:06 PM

It's a grounds up (:tard:)remake.

While reading the oddworld artbook i noticed in the hand of odd logo they have put wasps instead of bees.

I know they probably alredy noticed this...maybe it's just me being an apiarist, but was that made on purpose?

STM 08-31-2012 06:41 AM

Wait...you're an apiarist too?

You have to be removed.

Maybe Oddworld's bees look like Earth's wasps.

Like in stranger you mean?
Maybe but i don't like it.:fuzconf:

STM 08-31-2012 11:43 AM

To be fair they look somewhat similar to the Africanised varieties of Earth. (Apis MellifersandA. m. Scutellata)

I've got a few questions on my mind that need askin';

- Are Elums found in the Western Mudos?


- Are the Grubbs and Sekto the only ones - living as of the end of SW - aware of Stranger's true nature or did the Clakkers, Wolvarks and remaining Outlaws make the link between the bounty hunter and the Steef they saw?

- Is there a collection of SW concept art and renders available in decent resolution? Stuff from the game's gallery if possible as I already have the material collected in OI:TFTY

- A little less related but I read about a character designing presentation Farzad Varahramyan did, but the links to it are dead - anyone have an upload perchance?


Cheers!

There's a version with pictures somewhere in our archive. I'd fish it out for you if I weren't already pulling hours of overtime trying to get things done.

Insert sympathy here.

I intentionally chose artwork for the Stranger extras that was as unseen as I could collect, while also being interesting and as related to each part of the game as possible. If I ever let them free into the wild of Internet Land, it certainly won't be before the PC and Vita versions have even shipped.

Thank ya kindly!
I never had an Xbox so those extras being exclusive to the HD version is news to me! Thanks for the selection anyway. What was the story behind the Clakker short, was it just done for shits and giggles?

Sympathy token here; cut along dotted line. Valid for one cuppa scald.

Wil 09-07-2012 01:44 AM

I'm not actually sure what the point of its creation was. If I had to guess I'd suggest it was to test how emotive characters could be in realtime. It's inclusion in the extras was at Stew's request, because he loves it, but it actually has a semi-important place in the history of Oddworld fandom. It was our very first ever glimpse of Stranger after years of silence from OWI. And I hated it. To go from the fantastic creatures and realms of the Abe and Munch games to fat chickens in dungarees. It was a time of much fretting, as you'll be able to see if you start snooping though post of the time.

So that's the story behind it from a fan perspective.

Takeshi 09-12-2012 09:03 AM

When Abe farts did a human make the sound or was it done on a computer?

Nepsotic 09-12-2012 09:58 AM

Humans make that sound, silly.

Takeshi 09-12-2012 10:04 AM

You can make alot of sounds on a computer :)

Nepsotic 09-12-2012 10:10 AM

That's not exactly what I was getting at.

Varrok 09-12-2012 10:22 AM

It was the Lorne Lanning himself farting
