Of course not!
We're slipping so far from Oddworld that if we weren't getting so many tidbits on Abe HD, we'd be called the Bill Murray forums!

Calm down you negative nelly. That's only one Slig. Perhaps he couldn't afford the visor mask?

Squee~?

I had a dream about AOHD as well, by the way. >_>

Twice.

But... but he worked well. Nobody touched that lever while he was on guard. Nepsotic suggested he might have even beaten that mud a little. It's not fair :(

You sound like AlexFili.

Hang on, if he couldn’t afford the visor mask why is he wearing the (canonically) latest model of mask?

@Nep: Why?

@Manco: That's a good question, I think. Although, if the OW wiki can be trusted, the exoddus masks were being used because they were cheaper

The screenshot looks cool. Very interested to know what other Slig masks will be shown, alongside the 'Exoddus' model.

The visors are valuable antiques.

Vintage

But the visor, HUD mask is the crappier version. The reason Sligs got the new ones was because the HUD made their vision funny and they kept falling down holes and stuff.

Also, I think it should stay being the new mask, how it is.

Yet again, OW Wiki:
http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Slig
says there's more to that

You're all ignoring this I think.

There's a real chance here for Oddworld to expand the canon on visors. Does higher rank denote better masks for instance?

Maybe they're just visors.

But seriously, the idea of having both excites me. I think having variance in the world would make the game feel even more alive.

*comes in*

*everyone's nitpicky about the slig not having a visor in a pre-beta-beta-beta-beta screenshot*

*leaves*

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was fucking retarded.

I can see this becoming like a Sonic fan forum over time.

Over time?

See this becoming?

Everyone lets stop talking about he masks. Let JAW do what they think is best. Me and loads of others think it should be the new version, as in the screenshot. Others think it should be the original one. Some think it should be both.

End of discussion.

Now, I think it's time to discuss something that is very important. What are you, JAW, going to do with the sounds and music? For me and I think most, if not all, other people, the music and sounds was a massive part of the game. So, what's Abe HD gonna be like?

Most people don't care, and wish that those of you who do care had been aborted, which clearly would have happened had your parents known that you would become the sort of people to have an opinion on which fucking visor should be used for a video game character.

I'm doing an impression of all the sounds, but it's not appearing on the screen. Maybe it'll show up as an mp3 when I click 'Submit Reply'.

The entire soundtrack should be fart noises.

So, you're saying that everyone at JAW should have been aborted because they would've had an opinion on which fucking visor should be used for a video game character? :P

No, I'm saying that everyone who isn't actually creating it should sit down, and shut up because they are stupid.

Sally's back.

Really, you're that childish? I'm having a conversation with OANST and you go and say that........ :fuzconf:

OANST, yes I get what you mean, I agree. However, I think that there's nothing wrong with having an opinion on something but, like you say I think, when people are having arguments over it and stuff, yes it is stupid.

It's so stupid because it's such a small, irrelevant detail that won't exactly define the game. Seriously this is very similar to the whole green eyes discussion in the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

I can't wait to see gameplay footage of this, I just know I'll get upset at how I can't go to eurogamer :p

I think the old visors looked better than the newer ones, but it's probably because that's what I'm used to. In the end whatever they go with suits me. Though having both would be pretty awesome.

If it's meant to recreate Abe's Oddysee, well then even the minor details should be almost exact. Why? Because it makes the OCD fans happy! :tard:

Personally I don't mind because both look good.

...However!

I always thought that visor fitted Rupture Farms because it looked more aggressive, that and the Slig sprites had it as well. The two-eye visor looks too friendly.

I'm just going to go with my idea I made before and why not have both?

I wonder if any other enemies, like flying sligs, will be added somehow. Sure it's meant to be an AO remake but sitll, maybe as a bonus or just as an extra enemy or something.

I agree with CrashPunk, saying that the old visors are scarier. The old visor makes the sligs seem more robotic, and thus, more merciless when they spot you. The 2 eyed visor somehow makes the sligs seem like theyre more clumbsy, and weaker. The old visors look demonic.

It does give them more emotion, I think is the right term. That also adds to the comedy aspect of Oddworld though.

I would actually love to see Fleeches and Flying Sligs in Rupture Farms. :D

I'd love to see Munch in Rupture Farms :D And Lulu the Glockstar

I want to see Steef in the stockyards. Steef Chops. Yum.

lol.

Is that an intentional pun on "Steve Jobs"? If so, well done.

References are funny!

Yes...reference...that's what I did. Yes.
