This is just a thought but :
In AO there was the MO relation from the door with "Vykkers Labs Comming Soon" If we look close cant we find some SW - Fangus relation?? |
Oddworld Doing something related to Scotland? My Nana's from Scotland, I'll ask her if it looks anything scottish like (Or Maybe she might be offended)
Tim, we never found anything related to Soul Storm Brew, but the drawing of the Octigi on Abe's Oddysee, had a picture of Mr. Sekto on it, so it might not be in Stranger if you're gonna start looking Tim |
ok i messed up i meaned AE:p
AE - Door to Vykker's Labs AO - Octigi Are you sure its sekto?? |
I know you meant AE, but I'm saying in Abe's Oddysee, if you look around theres a poster of Sekto infront of a river in Rupture Farms.
I was just saying, don't always look around in the revious game, look around in every game. |
i have some thought we can look in SW
i will look in other games tonight , i have a meeting of design group today. 1] Bounty Store - Look for maybe pictures of Fangus or something 2] Sekto Springs Dam - Posters or something like that 3] Towns - Anything that looks supisious:p 4] Exactly everywhere:) Im glad i save milions of time:) anybody has Action Replay or Max Drive? |
ok, there were oktigi in the art book and that is what sketo and those birds turned into. i'm sorry but i don't think there is anything to do with fangus in strangers wrath. try talking to any guy/ girl with or has something to do with animals (slog handlers, sleg hunters, vykers e.c.t.). maybe this is more proof it is an april fools joke but i think this art work is justt one of the many ideas OI have for fangus. maybe the game will change later so i don't think it is a good idea to look for any proof of his existance.
*edit* i wouldn't like it if fangus had to fight the otgi let again. maybe a knew speacies for a new "bad guy". |
Gloktigi in Abes Oddyssey? Where?

Wow, so many posts in so little days.
I guess I take back what I said about reserving judgement. But of course Game Informer are often true, but are often not. So it's hard to tell. Although the chracter does look cool, I can't help but be somewhat dissapointed. All those guns and bullets and that. It's just ... eggh. I don't know, it doesn't sit right with me. What happened to Sherry's vision of being able to create games and have characters that appeal to the female gaming audience as well? Don't get me wrong, I love Stranger as a game as much as the next Oddworld fan, but it just appears they are moving away from the whole "unlikely heroes" thing that they had with Abe and Munch. You know, little guys that look like they wouldn't be able to defeat big hulking dudes. But then we have Stranger who is a beast of a guy but uses a crossbow and live ammo [which I found cool and unique], but this new character with all his guns and bullets. This just seems so "un" Oddworldy to me. *sigh* I guess I'm kind of alone in this view from all the posts that I read. Although I look forward to another dark game, it's just the character doesn't fit. He'd make a cool bad guy, but a good guy with guns on Oddworld. :( Abe Babe... |
i am a bit dissapointed too but i doupt we will see unlikely heroes again. ok, i have to admit, in AO there was a bit inside me jsut looking for an escuse to shot a wall and in munches oddysee i was just waiting for action. hte world wants action and oddworld is basically trying to make games to the world. but then a multiplayer puzzle game would be cool too. i jsut wan't those puzzle games back, i wan't abe, but the door between us is closing. we ca only hope and yes an insect version of fangus would be cool!

I just went to my fav dutch news site, and came up on this:
http://www.gamer.nl/nieuws/25659 It also has a link to a french site : http://www.xbox-mag.net/-rumeur--le-...0--__7221.html So it seems pretty serious. |

finaly a decnet picture that i can put on my desktop without showing the article, more proof of this games existance and something to practice my french with (if the site is french) becuase i have a test tomorrow!

*danger*
*overuse of inverted commas ahead* I must say, I'm not to sure about this one. Seems to me, since he's got rabies, that upon compleating the game, one would have to kill Fangus. I think that the 'ultimate sacrifice' thing could be done magnificently by OWI, but this character just doesn't seem to fit it, like Abe Babe said. I know I'm judging him but, he seems like yet another run-of-the-mill gunslinger, even if he has got evil sheep. Whenever the theorys in this thread make me excited, the artwork squishes my hopes. This guy just looks 'evil cuz itz kool' kind of dark to me rather than 'dark side to consumerism/globalisation' kind of dark to me. The article doesn't say anything about sheep with rabies, so I'd take it that they are just nasty critters anyway, and last time I checked Oddworld weren't for the 'evil because they're evil' aproach. And besides....didn't OWI learn a lesson with MO? I don't imagine them spilling this much information out so early on, even if they feel they can accomplish it. |
:
This Fangus game, if information and previous things are anything to go by, will come out within one and a half years. |
i think it is posible we see this game with christmas...
Stranger's wrath was finished november 2004 , ready to sell. of course they tested it a lot since then and when i came out but it can be they already have a whole game that just needed to be putten together etc. |

'if you look around theres a poster of Sekto infront of a river in Rupture Farms.'
Really? Don't s'pose you could get a pictureshot of that could you? |
Fuzzle guy ,
Can you be just a bit more precise where the poster is? i would like to know that. HALF OFF TOPIC - Is there a record hold for fastest post filling thread? I think this one will have it now... Already 258 posts in just 3 days!! |
I'd want more reptile characters.
I'll be happy if gamespeak returns o.O |
Don't get too down Abe Babe, we still no nothing of this game and who knows mabye Fangus goes insane in the end and becomes evil. Anywho I think OWI will stick with their values for this game, they just might wanna make it appealing to potential new fans.
|
I pretty much agree with Abe Babe. I'm still looking forward to it if it's real, though.
|
That artwork looks awesome. Personally, I'd find it more appealing if there were no guns at all, and Fangus actually used his physical skills, which would make him look like more of a "shepherd" I suppose. This artwork certainly shows a certain darkness and it looks like a game I'd enjoy to play. These new XBox games are certainly tempting me to buy a XBox :P
I feel quite skeptical, I'm not sure why though. |
Arrrghh
Geez, these badass characters are being developed because they fit in with the game engine oddworld have developed, that doesn't mean oddworlds changing!! There will still be new characters developed that are going to be schmucks.
And saying that Oddworld has had enough of Abe is just stupid, of course we are going to see Abe and Munch again, maybe in 5,10 or 20 years time in film or games. Oddworld are obviously trying to develop multiple characters in different game genres, maybe to build up a wider fan base before the first Oddworld movie is made. Think of Oddworld as a comic book company like Marvel, they have all sorts of different charcters in their universe, some people like spiderman or X-men others like blade or the punisher, the thing is they have different characters, for different tastes. Man I hate these pre game rants, people talk so much crap(Like me :) ) but it cheeses me off. Peace out guys |
i agree scrubs, i think abe will now come back as will with other characters including much.
here are a few notes on how this game could be OSW: stranger could have had another deasiese before lorne changed it to him being a steef that ship in the distance looks like a wolvark ship this picture of fangus could have perswadded lorne to start making a baddas character and his story those sheep could be evolved into the live ammo we have today the brown sky could have something to do with being in a western culture sorry for being so negative but i was just trying to think the other way. |
...
Look on Fangus's shoulder, there are two bite marks. Perhaps this has to do with the "rabies" thing? -Alien Guardian |

thats what i said earlier. so maybe that is how he got rabies! i don't think anyone could survive 2 gun shots but fangus could be diferent. i want those games like AO and AE were you die in 1 hit, making it alot harder to survive and more realistic but i reackon it is fun not dieing easily and easier too! i wan't oddworld's oppion on fangus and our thoughts. i am beginng to like this game and hoping for it's existance!

:
Xbox Mag only reported the article we are talking about, and so does Gamer nl. but I'm pretty sure it's official anyway |
yes, it seems that OWI is straying afar from the unlikeley heroes...
hopefully, mabey after Fangus, we can see a return of the little guy taking down the big guy. I would like that. |
