This is like, really amazing that they are bringing out all the old games out in HD..and a new game..especially that its in RTS form, this will be epic, i did look on the official website and it said there will be 2 main factions: The Land Muggers (Industrials) and The Tree Huggers (Mudokons) etc

Really? Because it doesn't say that on the official website.

Please, show us that site, because we're having difficulties.

Aren't those titles from a large character poster with all native and industrial characters on it? Not sure if it was a Hand of Odd poster but I do remember those exact names.

From the crappy Oddworld wiki, but still. I think they are nifty titles, I could see JAW using them as faction names.

Wouldn't Scrabs and Paramites be in Tree Huggers?

No, because they're classed as Wildlife, not Natives.

This is the first time I have seen those poster images, and I've gotta say I much prefer the Big Bro slig design there to the one used in MO.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it a little hard to see any close resemblance between the sligs and MO Big Bro. I know they have the same features and colours and whatnot, but If I had to put my finger on something, I'd say it's the eyes- normal sligs look to have eyes on the sides of their heads, whereas the Big Bro mask gave the impression they were forward-facing?

On this poster however, with the mask the same as a regular slig, it just feels more to me like an evolution of that character/species. For some reason, I always felt the MO Big Bro's were a bit too different, to the point where they didn't look like they could be the same creature anymore!

It was never an evolution in the species- Big Bro's were simply Sligs on steroids. And that being the case, I think Big Bros would be concerned about other body parts than their eyes...;)

That's what he's saying GG, that big brother units were too un-slig to be merely a drugged up version.

haha, little Bo Peep slig :D

I always saw the big-bros as a play on the stereotyped cartoon body-builder with exaggerated limbs and small head.

This! Sorry, I didn't realise until now how badly I overcomplicated that last post! :p

Ah, my mistake, I'm with you now. Being younger when I first played MO, I was more interested in the HUGE guns I got to play with to really focus on how they compared to normal sligs :P

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

A little speculation is ok every now and then.
