Yes, Oddworld 4 is not part of the quintology, but instead runs concurrent to it. Al, you have to use the Internet Archive's archived version, although I may give you something nice.

Thanks a bunch Max. I never thought I would see those things again!:fuzsmile: I definately have to bookmark the site. Once again thanks for your help and putting the time in to help me out.

Heres something to think about. If Steef is concurrent with the quintology then will he even meet up with Abe and Munch? Or is he the beginning of a new series of Oddworld games like the quintology but happening at the same time of the quintology only the start of a new series of Oddworld? Like haveing two Oddworld series happening at the same time. Yes we will still see the rest of the quintology but at the same we will see this one start telling its tales. Intresting!
Paramiteabe...:fuzblink: |
How do you guys know it's not part of the quintology?
|
Lanning has said that the new game will not be part of the quintology. Plus squeeks oddysee is part three
|
Hmm... here's a cool idea, if you'll bare with me.
Let's say that no, Steef is not part of the quintology. How do they define that? I've always looked forward to the last installment of the quint, playing as five different characters at once with different abilities- Abe, Munch, Squeek... umm... Rex... I dunno, Stifle the Widget, whatever the hell OWI gives us. If he's not in the quintology, though, then Steef won't be in that merry band, which seems to make sense, being Clint Eastwood and all. But where does that leave him? A one-time character. Maybe not. What if Steef's story dealt with saving some people, doing some good deeds, etc and so forth... but there's a couple of scenes where he talks about those "filthy bug-eyed mudokons, always getting in the way" or something like that. And it all ends triumphantly, yeah yeah, he defeated the villain and walks off into the sunset... carrying two familiar wanted posters and a loaded crossbow. What if Steef was a hero now, but when the quintology returns he's a villain? All of a sudden, in the middle of some raid on a despotic farm of one kind or another, Abe is staring down the business end of a drawn bolt, Munch is hanging in a net somewhere, and you have a true first in an oddworld game- a boss fight. The level loads, and Munch is screaming in the background, explosions are going off, there's mines lining your path as some feral gun-slinger in a Crocadile dundee hat is jumping off the walls like a spiderman villain shooting nets at your ass while the scrolling LED's in the background chime in "Hey stupid! RUN FROM THE STEEF!!!" He's got a chant supresser on his belt, a hankering for that certainly high bounty on your mudokon head, and a personal problem with the race you're out to save. What a great and original plot device it would be! Remember playing Steef? HOW DO YOU LIKE HIM NOW THAT HE'S BLASTING YOUR GREEN BUTT!? Phew, venting. Whadda you think, folks, does it have potential? |
I actually like that idea a lot, its very original and would end up being very odd. But we must also factor in, that steef part way through the game may change his ways, and thats when he might give up bounty hunting and join in the fight against the industrialists. As I have said in the past it all depends on what happens and in the end what is decided. We will just have to wait and see what OWI has in store for us since the original concepts shown of OW4 recently.

Steef handles ' Crossbow'...
Steef handles ' Crossbow'...
--- Does the next GAME have the element of "First Person Shooting Game"(FPS).? Do you think about that? http://www6.plala.or.jp/atusiya/steef/fps.jpg By the way, does steef break a fart?. |
Re: Steef handles ' Crossbow'...
:
well there will be FPS only when he is aiming I suppose, like SplinterCell or Zelda |
yeh Dequibenzo i like the idea of Steef making an appearance in the quintology, and his interests clash with those of our band of unlikley heros and he's hunting them throughout the game, that would be great! I don't like the idea of having a boss fight though

Look at OWI's official FAQ. You can use Abe Babe's new topic. Don't bother looking at mine, it doesn't seem to be working. Actually no, if you could have a go and see if it's working, I'd be really grateful.
I hope Steef does not break a fart - it would be completely out of his apparent character. As for his involvement in the Quintology, I don't know. Do we even know for certain he's a 'goodie' in this game? |
Your FAQ doesn't work for me, too bad,
I'm sure even me could learn stuff from it |
It works for me, btw: site's looking great Max, keep it up. Mine should be finished quite soon aswell.:fuzsmile:
|
If it isn't part of the quint... I don't think they should call it Steef's Oddysee. But that's probably just me... I'm so obssesive about little things like that.
|
they never said they will call it Steef's Oddysee... actually the name is not known yet

http://www6.plala.or.jp/atusiya/steef/steef13.jpg My imagination is filling with all sorts of possibilities...:) |
Re: Steef handles ' Crossbow'...
:
Maybe he cracks his knuckles... I could be wrong about this but Steef looks like the sort of character that would meet his bad game ending with a snarl rather than a lot of crying. Wouldn't quite fit to have him going "oops" either. Dequibenzo's idea about Steef returning as a villain is an interesting one- Many of the villains Abe has dealt with end up killed, tons of anomymous sligs but a few of the gluks had some personality (AE) even if you only saw them a short time So what does Abe end up having to do? Kill Steef?, lead him into a nest of big momma fleeches or something? Kind of a bummer if you've come to know and like Steef from a previous game... Or save his life and throw him into a quandry between honor and that bounty. Or maybe Steef keeps coming back all through the quintology after humiliating defeats, hunting our heros like Captain Ahab chasing the white whale... Ho boy, lots of possibilities here. How about finally Steef reveals that he's Abe's real father? (Sorrrryyy- I think I got too much sun today.) Ps. Anybody else notice which way that skunk is aiming? |
:

|
lol, that Skunk remindes me of that thing from the movie "IceAge"....you know the thing....Squrriel I think it was. Anyways I can imagine Steef putting the Skunk on the launch of the cross-bow and it shivering with one of its eye's twitching....yes..
|
I personally wish they would not have killed off Drippik, Aslik, and Phleg. Especially VP Aslik, he was one of my fav characters for the bad guys besides molluck. Plus as Niteowl said, they had really funny personalities. I think one of my dissappointments in munch, was the lack of glukkon speech/conversation, and the lack of them period say for the small bit of gameplay, and at the end of the game.
|
Aslik was highly amusing...i hope he has a son somewhere...although the son would have to be his lil' brother...but still...
|
Yes I too miss those Gluks but from what I've seen, Im sure they are not. But the one big thing that I really didn't like in MO was how Abe and Munch met. Lets go over it shall we; Abe gets infromed about Munch by the Rasin, next he goes to rescue him from Vykkers Lab's, Abe jumps into the Big Well and flys upward, In the mean time Munch escapes to the Poop shoot, Munch gets dumped from said Poop shoot and collides with Abe. After their gracefull landing, the two already seem to know each other right off the bat; and what worse is that they seem to be friends! I was really looking forward twoards the dissfunctional relation ship that was suspposed to be between Abe and Munch.
|
Yeah, I know..Abe seems to be better chums with Munch than his own people...The way they often grumble when told to do something.

------------ BTW I Do update this. Enjoy this.. http://www6.plala.or.jp/atusiya/steef/steef.htm ---------------- and Did you see this page ? http://www.filmoasis.com/page1.htm |
Nice icon Atusiya@! I was going to do the same thing with the steef avatar. Actually, using the exact same picture. I guess its just another sign of how great minds think alike. Anyways good picture!:fuzsmile:
|
:
NOW I change :D |
No no, Atusiya I cant accept that, your kindness is well noted, but please keep the Icon. I merely said I was thinking about doing the same thing. But for now, I am quite content with my fav character as my icon. Please feel free to use the other one again!:fuzsmile:

Okay, I just got to this topic.
Game looks good. Steef looks okay, though his face is a little...crowded. I love the hickens. I'm guessing they'll play the same sort of role as the hillbillies in 'Deliverance'..Minus the sodomy. the one quote out of every post that stood out the most [poetry in motion, people.] was: "And since bounty hunting is atleast illegal in our world" Bounty hunting is not illegal. My grandfather is a bounty hunter, as is my girlfriend's father. The only time it's illegal is if you're working for someone other than the government. |
I thought it was illegal due to that Max Factor man case thing...
How do they Bounty hunt? Do they use guns? How much do they get paid? (this is going to DI and about his grandfather and girlfriends father.) On a different matter i think Steef might make an appearance, but what you do with him is upto you. For instance in one ending you kill him and in another you let him live...this would happen mid-game and thus whichever you decide to do, will start to show later in the game (i.e - kill him, you get talked about as the "Bounty killer" etc. etc. Don't kill him, he keeps coming back or comes back one more time or something) |
