I'm not envious. I feel betrayed. What's the opposite of treachery. Loyalty? He betrayed us through loyalty. I don't know how he managed it but he found a way, the bastard.

Wil 09-07-2012 11:44 AM

I think it's not as weird as you seem to suggest, and certainly not as weird as I feared it would be.

We're still friends.

We can still hang out.

Bullet Magnet 09-07-2012 01:08 PM

Don't. Please. I wish it were so. But it is too late for us now. I'm sorry.

Your CDs are in the bag.

If you need a shoulder to cry on, Marcus...

Varrok 09-07-2012 01:54 PM

...it definitely won't be Wil's shoulder.

STM 09-07-2012 02:02 PM

It'll be mine. I'll swoop in and protect the emotionally crippled BM and then he'll fall for me and it'll be just like the Greek romantic myths.

Bullet Magnet 09-07-2012 02:51 PM

Unlikely. I'll be training for the Emoparalympics.

MeechMunchie 09-07-2012 03:31 PM

Team GB 2014: We put the "mope" in "emoparalympic"!

Definitely a perfect end to the month and the weekend.
Might even be worth staying up a tad late to see it, what with the time zone difference down here.

Havoc 09-30-2012 06:53 AM

Well that was cool! Lorne did a lot of talking and a lot of explaining for what happened to Oddworld and OWI in the last 10 years and a lot of it certainly makes sense.

Also we finally know why the graphic for Mudokon Pops changed between AO and AE. Apparently there was some school kid in Japan who killed some other kid and put his head on a stick. So in good taste they changed it in the sequel, otherwise it probably would have stayed the same.

Oh yeah, title has been announced and should come as no surprise: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee New 'n' Tasty.

Gameplay footage (PRE FUCKING ALPHA!) looked very awesome. The environments look great, Abe looks and sounds great and so do the sligs. I'm not thrilled about their walk cycle but that might change, who knows.

Thanks everyone at JAW and OWI for the great presentation and information!

JennyGenesis 09-30-2012 06:56 AM

Well, that footage completely passed my expectations, I even liked the new music!

AlexFili 09-30-2012 10:36 AM

Screenshots look great. Hope they put some little Exoddus titbits into Oddysee, like a few of the characters making little cameos etc.

STM 09-30-2012 11:18 AM

For everyone who was bitching about Michael Bross doing the music, Gilray said at MudoCon that bar a few minor enhancements, the soundtrack is exactly the same. =D

Yay for nostalgia!

Asmoden 09-30-2012 11:21 AM

If they add some new levels to the old ones this game will become a legend.

Hope the movie part will stay the same too or at least keep the same quality.

STM 09-30-2012 11:35 AM

If I understood correctly, the in game cut-scenes will be real time, not CGI. I forget if anything was said about the intro and outro.

That's exactly what's worrying me:fuzblink:

JennyGenesis 09-30-2012 02:52 PM

I think it will be interesting to see the cut-scenes in real time, whether or not it will be better I really can't say.

Bullet Magnet 09-30-2012 03:08 PM

Real-time rendering now has better graphics than Toy Story. Hell, better than the original Oddworld FMVs.

JennyGenesis 10-01-2012 02:03 AM

I suppose it could work considering the game is 3D.

Not if it uses the same assets as during gameplay. At least, I don't think so. Relatively low res textures and models don't make for great closeups.

Nate 10-01-2012 05:18 PM

Is there any footage of the Q&A?

Wil 10-01-2012 05:33 PM

There is, but I don't know precisely what the filmers plan to do with the footage.

Crashpunk 10-02-2012 12:58 AM

Are the filmers the same people who took all those photos of us? I recall having a group photo on the stage.

Wil 10-02-2012 03:49 AM

I think that was Dan, our PR guy, who took that picture.

pupbenny 10-02-2012 06:46 AM

I managed to film about 2:35 of the MudoCon. The bit where Lorne does the Alf voice. lol.

Crashpunk 10-02-2012 07:56 AM

Oh awesome, I would love to see it sometime Pupbenny :)

I'll probably post it sometime. :)

Was it you who won the Abe, because you've got pictures of it on Twitter and stuff, but I'm sure MeechMunchie said they won it......

I later won that Abe cutout for knowing inane Oddowrld trivia. But that's a story for another time.
