They had good animators. Didn't' you guys see the old 2012 footage? They just didn't re-animate when they sped things up.

Varrok 04-28-2015 12:17 PM

They didn't want to re-animate mudokons, because Mudombies were cut from the game

Scrabaniac 04-28-2015 03:49 PM

Oh my god please can we have Mudombies in this one?!

All of my yes, even if they're in the back ground or something.

Did they add Guardian Angel to NnT?

They wanted to sneak him/it into the background of one of the later Zulags, but it would have proved too costly and/or time consuming to design such a complicated model for a brief cameo.

Scrabaniac 04-29-2015 05:53 AM

Background mudombies would be sweet, but it would be even sweeter if you could slap a Mudombie and have their arms fall off or something :P

... or have to put their souls to rest in a side story/dlc. I feel like theres so much more to be told in Abe's Exoddus!

Have you got a source for this? I never heard about it and it sounds like a cool story!

Varrok 04-29-2015 09:19 AM

It's somewhere on the forums.

What I meant is this proves there will be no mudombies or anything.

Bullet Magnet 04-29-2015 01:15 PM

Mudombies would be significantly less work than a Shrink. Everything about the Shrink needs to be developed from the ground up, but a lot of mudombie work will be done already.

Varrok 04-29-2015 01:28 PM

They can't even make all menu buttons work properly on the PC version.

Bullet Magnet 04-29-2015 02:00 PM

That was left as an exercise for the player.

STM 04-30-2015 10:15 PM

I wouldn't put mudombies in, there would probably be a back lash by people sick with the sheer saturation of zombies in gaming. They would seem pigeonholed even of OWI had the idea two decades ago.

SligValet 05-01-2015 01:52 AM

As a DLC itd be okay and pretty fun though

New 'n' Tasty 05-02-2015 05:43 AM

zombies are so over used and over done it would just ruin this amazing game tbh.

their in and on everything these days tv, games ,movies , books

keep em outa dis game! dont conform

Scrabaniac 05-02-2015 05:50 AM

I just can't wait to see Soulstorm Brewery explode in glorious High Definition!

Crashpunk 05-02-2015 08:43 AM

They should just add another DLC like Alf's Escape. Extra hard, new levels set in perhaps FeeCo? or maybe the Brewery?

Ridley 05-02-2015 09:43 AM

I'd prefer SligStorm if doable but I'd like new story content ASAP.

Scrabaniac 05-02-2015 10:18 AM

Definitely SligStorm for me.

Bullet Magnet 05-02-2015 06:30 PM

Just a simple fleech/slurg platformer for me, thanks.

MeechCrunchies 05-02-2015 09:00 PM

I think there needs to be a super hard DLC, as sort of a sequel to Alf's Escape, but about 10 times harder, and they could disable quicksaving to ratchet up the difficulty sky high.

That sounds like my definition of hell.

Scrabaniac 05-03-2015 02:41 AM

If dlc would be insanely difficult, make it so that you control a Glukkon for the whole level, commanding sligs, avoiding saws and slogs as well as timing jumps, jumping mines etc. That frustrated me so much in the original in Bonewerx, but it was fun, and a bit too short.

Pls no I still have nightmares of Bonewerkz. In fact, the reason I've stopped working on the Exoddus screenshot map (couldn't find any hi-res one on the internet for obvious reasons) is the Bonewerkz finale.

Scrabaniac 05-03-2015 04:02 AM

You'll probably have to take screenshots on a youtube video. (When Abe hasn't quite made it on the screen yet)

Anyway i hope they fix the slog sounds, they don't sound half as menacing as they used to in the originals.

My slig would always shoot me dead in Bonewerkz, until I realised that pounding on the "KILL 'EM!" button doesn't let the slig re-aim properly, causing him to step back until I'm in his line of fire. Spacing the commands by letting three slogs run out at a time solved it and the problem went away.

The day I learned that trick was a good day.

Havoc 05-04-2015 01:53 AM

Any DLC needs to involve a puzzle editor. Absolutely positively needs a puzzle editor!

How did you guys not realise that straight away? The same thing happens when you possess a slig, so I realised it was happening while ordering them pretty quickly.

Phylum 05-04-2015 10:57 PM

I don't think I'd ever passed that one slog section in AO at that point either :p
