lol but how not? I was thinking on the lines of Starcraft :Wings of Liberty. Build and destroy. Good cgi cutscenes with story and simple map rts gameplay. Obviously not expected some rts game play as they follow same style.

I am looking forward to see more of Stranger, but I cannot think of what more can be added. It was a happy ending, although stanger didn't find his other four legged friends.

You don't really need OWI to make a generic RTS. There are enough already.

Noted :)

I wonder if Munch has hatched the eggs in the future games or just ate the can of gabbier in his sleep.

Gilray says the future games will be 2D and 3D. Just in case this wasn't already confirmed elsewhere :)

Also, there will probably be water travel.
Abe and the sligs will return "of course".
We will learn whether the Gabbit eggs hatched or not "at some point".
Gilray would love to squeeze Meeches in somewhere.
Mudokonz is going to be a 3DS launch title.
That previous point was bullshit.
5 projects, not 6. Just in case anyone was wondering.
Gilray is not an idiot:
"Hi Stu, Sherry and Lanning here, we got your approvals so go ahead and announce our plans and launch the website while you're at it. These guys have waited long enough. Come over later and we'll drink tea and eat ginger nut biscuits okay?
"lol nice try people"

And make what you will of this one:
"I was playing Munch's Odysee, I was just wondering. Will the voices be updated? The noises? Im talking about. Will Munch be making the same hopping sound for 6 hours straight with no change?"
"Any new projects will have all new audio"

Oh and judging by his style of Formspring replies, Gilray also seems to be AbeMudokon.

Smeghead25 don't double post. And this last post was actually very confusing, what are you trying to tell us? We can visit Formspring too.

Abe, Munch, and Stranger all in one. With Xbox live multiplayer and co-op and everything ... On the PS3 or Xbox360 with superawesome graphics!

I want to see Meech's, and every other creature that would have made it into Oddworld, but didn't get the correct opportunity to show up in the other games.

Also, I'd like to see Stranger and Abe team up, they've followed Abe for 3 games, sort of strange ( I would have said Odd, but that would be an even worse pun.) that they just deviated to a new character, maybe their actions tie into to something bigger.

Or maybe they just stuck with Abe for a while to be safe, and moved on once they felt that people would still buy an Oddworld game without Abe, either way I'd like to see how they'd team up.

Oh, and about that multiplayer thing Mudokon_Master, Oddworld said that they tried it, but it didn't work out. I'd like to see multiplayer, but only if it fit into the game, not just there because people expected it.

Dang, that's a bummer. I still love Oddworld no matter what.

See my what?

Yeah, it would be awesome to have a co-op oddworld game. When they said they tried multiplayer, they mainly meant online play and things like that, but I don't believe that they said anything about simultaneous co-op, it may still be possible, but It won't be anytime soon.

Meeches? Is that plural for Meech? I didn't mean anything of yours MeechMunchie. Although your name is making me hungry...

When did they say that? Are you sure you're not getting confused by Lorne's decision not to put multiplayer FPSing in to Stranger?

I read in an article somewhere that they tested the multiplayer in Oddworld (was probably Stranger's Wrath), it might have been in Game Informer, or one of my random times searching for news on Oddworld after '06 when I was sure that they were dead.

You tend to read a lot of things in article's, psycoman, btw you spelt your username wrong ...

Meeches is right but I was just playin' with you, bro.

Oddmobb, stay tuned.

It was originally the username on my DS, but I ran out of characters to properly spell it. Then I went to carry it on to Xbox Live, but it was taken, so I added 27 to the end, and I've just stuck with it.

Yeah, I haven't been getting much sleep lately, but I do remember reading it, but years ago. I should probably stop posting stuff until I have the correct article to cite it in. Maybe I can dig it up.

Destructible enviornments would be nice. I want to throw a grenade at a Slig and see things in the background (adjacent to the Slig) explode into little bits.

I want to see Alf in the upcoming games :(

All I ask for is Abe plus 2.5D gameplay... (new game)

It would be cool if Abe could scale walls like the Mudokons in the opening cutscene of Abe's Exodus.

It would would be cool if Abe could use weapons like a spear or a spooce bow.

I still think that Abe's uniqueness is to be totally harmless physically. Give him a weapon and you remove this.

He has weapons - shrykul, chant and rings.

Shrykull and spirit rings are supernatural powers granted to Abe only in very rare circumstances. A better thing to point out would be grenades, but again they're relatively rare. Possession is much more than a weapon, although it can obviously be used offensively. Having Abe carry a weapon around all the time would be a different thing entirely.

I would like to see Stranger, Munch and Abe work toghether; maybe not like in munch both at the same time and in the same mission but working toghether on different sides in order to achieve the same purpose and meet up at the end of the game!

If they were going to make another Oddworld game, I would like it to be as much like AO and AE as possible. Being 2D aswell of course.

i would love to see a mmorpg and make their games more rpg like :)

I say something like the elder scrolls and fallout 3, huge open world.

That would be sooooo good! Never gonna happen though, oddworld are re-booting and even though they have a good fan base its not large enough to make a game as big as that, money wise. Oddworld saddly is a underrated game, but hopefully this re-boot gives the company the rewards it deserves.

Imagine a GTA type off game for oddworld. Think I would die of epicness if that was announced.

A 2D-style Abe game in full 3D. Like Trine.

I know I said it in the thread similar to this one but I'll say it again:

Bring back the Shrykull for Munch's Exoddus! Also, it was said that Abe would find his long lost mother, the Mudokon Queen Sam, so we have a main plot to go with too. And what of the Gabbit eggs? Munch will have his hands a tad full, so how will this affect the fight against the Industrialists?

Oh! And speaking of Industrialists... the return of enemy GameSpeak?

Seriously, there are so many things I would love to see in any possible new Oddworld game.

Firstly, I want to see Oddworld for what it is! Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus did this really well with the backgrounds for the screens on the levels you played, even the actual level design itself helped to show the environments Abe was traversing. We saw the harsh deserts of Scrabania (and the cool, dusty temples hidden deep in the sands.) We saw the jungle/forest environment of Paramonia (and the dark, web-ridden temples) We have seen some of the money-driven industrialised factories and workplaces like Rupture Farms and Soulstorm and the Burial grounds of Necrum and for what they delivered it was (and still is) amazing.

But now we have entered the time of 3D and 2.5D graphics I wondered how they could deliver unto us something with the true feel of Oddworld that I would recognise due to Munch and Stranger feeling a little short and I can only imagine 3 ways of doing this.

2.5D platform adventure:

Firstly, the obvious choice and the choice the made many of us prefer AO and AE to the follow-ups that were MO and SW. A 2.5D adventure, following Abe would probably be the decision that would call the Oddworld fans back and bring new fans to the crowd (Abe is so damn likeable) but with the possible options of new friendly characters that would help Abe in sections (AKA The albino Slig or Bigface.) I believe this would be the best decision.

3D RPG:

The most daring and costly choice and a personal favourite, I couldn't imagine the rewards that would be reaped from a massive world, similar to The Elder Scrolls or Fallout set in the polluted, industrial, money driven environment of Oddworld with the possibility of Missions or Story events taking the player to Deserts, Jungles, Seas or more. This idea would be crazy BUT I don't feel a levelling system would work right. I think, depending on the race chosen, powers or skills would need to be levelled up through use rather than the character him or herself. Also, races would need to be carefully decided upon (Glukkons and so on) but a good and evil system could easily be added.

Strategy:

As a fan of strategy games and after hearing about "Hand of Odd" I was rather excited, the potential is there and the two factions were well thought out, I would just love to see this, but perhaps after a few titles were delivered. If anyone ever played KKND or KKND2: Krossfire, you'd know what I mean when I think this would feel similar, but better than those titles.

That's my opinion out there :) So happy they finally released the Oddboxx to PC, been playing AO and AE for many, many years and I'm so glad they are back!! :fuzsmile:

i agree with everything you've just said, but i hate how younger people will never get to experience oddwold at its peak (its peak of course being AO and AE), and they love MO instead, but now that 2d games are coming back in, i think oddworld has a chance of getting back up on its feat, because i didnt like the previous two games, like ELD3RGoD said, they dont have the oddworld feel, like the backround of the screen where you escape soulstorm mines? brilliant! i just hope they can go back to that.

First of all, welcome to the forums. That's a great first post. Just some comments on it.

2.5D platform adventure:
Well, it might be the best for a start, untill they have enough budget and experience to do the games the justice they deserve.

3D RPG:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! I hate RPG:P
Seriously though, that would be directed at a very different audience than the regular oddworld gamers. It's a riske move, in a market controlled by brizzard and others. Ofcourse, since i don't know much about rpg games, i don't know whether my opinion has any validity on the matter.

Strategy:
It would have to have a very strong concept but since they did plan for "Hand of Odd", i guess they do have one. It would be strange at first but it would also be interesting
