MOD EDIT: This thread was split off from here.
yeah, AbeHD is only limited by our imaginations :D speaking of imaginations, what sort of go-kart would Abe drive if AbeHD happened to become a cartoony racing game (hypothetically)? |
Abe-A-Go-Kart
One that HAS to be steam-punk based, definitely.
|
No, that's what the Sligs would ride. Abe would have a kart made from sticks of bamboo and powered by his own farts.
|
If they are going to overuse the soundbites like they did with MO and SW (grunt/boing at every jump) for the fart powered kart this is going to be one awfull game to play.
Somehow I think one kart should have Sloggies instead of wheels. |

|
It should be powered by Spooce.

EDIT: :p |
Would you call it Abe A-Go-Kart?
|
I think the fart-turbo should be more of an extra power-boost if you collect one SoulStorm bottle. ; P
|
why must they be carts? Have Abe riding elum!
EDIT: I wouldnt like to think that the intrinsic stories of oddworld are undermined by one of those typical go-kart-racing games. Oddworld isnt popular enough OR 'cartoony' enough for it to succeed. (imo) EDIT: (at least not if it's done in a cartoony fashion) |
This sounds better than Abe HD to me.
|
You can't have Abe riding Elum: it's a go-kart game! The go-kart would have to be made out of bits of Elum.
|
That sounds bloody.I want a scrab cake cart.
|
Joking aside, I wonder if it'd ever be possible to make an Oddworld-themed racing game in a serious way that wouldn't make people accuse JAW or OWI of selling out.
Probably not, eh? |
Munch should have a turbo-wheelchair.
|
I think the normal MO wheelchair is fast enough
|
Mine car ftw ^^
|
A Vykkers Pod. You could use its claws to destroy the other karts.
|
If you make a Oddworld racing game, I'm going to kill myself.
|
This won't ever happen, because JAW completely ignores fan feedback...
....WHERE'S THE PROMISED DATING SIM?! |
Abe HD is on its way.
|
How about an Angry-Birds clone where you shoot Mudokons out of a well at Sligs?
|
I've already written a 50-page design document for Angry Muds, a 60-page document for Spooce Ninja, and a 300-page design for OddVille, with which we're cooperating heavily with Zynga.
|
So, basically the new version of Hand of Odd.
|
Ouch. You took things too far.
|
An Oddworld Kart fangame would be very possible.
|
Fan-game or no fan-game, an Oddworld Racing game will look like total shit.
|
Back when I used Gamemaker I started to put together a game where you played as a slig and had to race through a factory. Movement relied on teleporters and elevators, because there was no jumping. Sadly production halted when the physics and elevator code had a rather large conflict of interest that my 12 year old self couldn't solve.

To be honest, if you guys sat down and coded a proper racer, I'd rather you made it its' own original thing, not reusing previous dudes.
Like, turn it into a high-stakes tournament where slaves race for freedom a la Death Race, only the vehicles are all wacky and weird Oddworld stuff. Just making a Mario Kart retread seems kind of uninspired I guess. |
I think it would look like shit because in my opinion, Oddworld's environments just aren't suited to have cars racing through them. I suppose you could say the same about the Mario games, but they contain lots of tropes and have a cartoony quality that gives them an edge compared to traditional racing games. Oddworld's environments on the other hand have a kind of beauty that I think wouldn't go well with a racing format and should be enjoyed with a relatively slow pace.
|
I don't think I like Oddworld much anymmore.
|
Why does this thread even exist? The idea is stupid and why are we discussing it :lol:
|
I'd play it.
|
But only to annoy everybody who hates it.
|
I wanna play as a Scrab riding a Paramite.
|
I don't know about you, but I would play it. I might not enjoy it, but I would play it.
|
I can't even imagine it. The closest I can get looks like this.
|
You do all know this isn't actually happening, right?
