Where is Shrink?
 
I have a question: where is Shrink? I know it's in Abe's Oddysey, but which level? Please help! :fuzzle:

TheKhanzumer 08-30-2002 04:40 PM

Shrink
 
Sadly, the Shrink has yet to appear in any oddworld games. He did appear in the Abe's Oddysee fmv called "Guardian Angel" which you can see if you own the Playstation version of the game and know the view movies cheat.

I think. I have never seen him myself save his section in the official site.

Xavier 08-30-2002 06:19 PM

well it was also planned that he appear in MO with Sam, but yeah the plot changes has done it again

Well the Shrink video in Abes Oddysee was origanlly susposed to be an advratisment but they cut it and decided to use it as a secret FMV.

Xavier 08-30-2002 07:57 PM

yeah a nice adverticement who didn't make it to the TV :(

Kesiah 08-30-2002 11:53 PM

*sighs*
It's a pity that you can't get the Shrink clip on the net or even a download from Oddworld.com. I've been searching everywhere for a Playstation version of AO, but you just can't get them any more :(

Mac the Janitor 08-31-2002 12:51 AM

Try looking for AO at Electronics Boutique - they usually have a couple copies.

Xavier 08-31-2002 08:04 AM

well, Oddipus had the whole video in AVI format I think, but the file is damadged now

dripik 08-31-2002 07:42 PM

Oh. Too bad it isn't in the games. :( Thanks for the help! :fuzsmile:

Abe the legend 09-01-2002 06:01 PM

If Sam were still in MO,it would be cool if you could posses shrinks.

Xavier 09-01-2002 06:03 PM

connect with Munch to a shrink to talk to Sam? good idea.
I hope we will see that in ME

Abe the legend 09-01-2002 09:23 PM

I hope it appears in any games.

An idea:they could remake AO + AE and add shrinks as enemys:fuzsmile: .

Xavier 09-02-2002 04:44 AM

sorry but Bad idea... don't toutch the AO and AE games, they are genious.

Abe the legend 09-02-2002 07:38 PM

Sorry,Xavier.:fuzsad: :(

Oddsville 09-02-2002 08:10 PM

Im sure Xavier didn't mean that in a bad way, he was just stating that he thought that AO and AE where presious games.

Xavier 09-02-2002 08:10 PM

you don't have to be sorry, you got an idea, we discuss over it, we simply don't agree on this point. :fuzwink:

Oddsville 09-02-2002 08:11 PM

Im sure Xavier didn't mean that in a bad way, he was just stating that he thought that AO and AE where presious games.:fuzwink:

Edit- Hey I just realized I posted twice, sorry about that guys.:fuzsad:

Xavier 09-02-2002 08:20 PM

well, you are right... I may sound to rude sometimes.
I have to be carefully :fuzwink:

Oddsville 09-02-2002 10:35 PM

Don't blame yourself Xavier, Its just an everyday case of misunderstanding. Pluse I've never considered you to be rude in anyway, just a really nice person.:fuzwink:

Abe the legend 09-07-2002 06:55 AM

Okay.I just thought AO needed better graphics compared to AE and MO.

Xavier 09-07-2002 07:19 AM

what do you mean... the graphics of AO are excellent!
explain yourself, what do you want better (and not only the word "graphics")?

Mac the Janitor 09-07-2002 05:40 PM

Yeah, I think they're original and beautiful.

:

Abe the legend sez:
AO needed better graphics compared to AE
What do you mean? AO and AE's graphics were practically the same...


-Mac

Abe the legend 09-08-2002 06:10 AM

So that I don't feel like I've angered anyone,I'll leave this topic.

PS,I thought the muds needed new voices(in AO they share one voice.In AE they have a variety of voices).Also,Abe,s voice is different in AE(sorry if any of these have simple answers).

Xavier 09-08-2002 08:11 AM

simply: you can imagine some new thing or things to change for the next games, yut don't toucht to the previous games, they are just faboulous.

Intern_485 09-08-2002 07:02 PM

Hmm...Interesting Idea
 
Since AO and AE are no longer in print, maybe they could somehow be included as a bonus in future Oddworld games. Earlier, this would be impossible, but with DVD technology, it may be possible to include them on one or two discs with an original release as well. If that's not practical, they could just re-release the games if GT Games is okay with it.

Xavier 09-09-2002 05:05 PM

well there is an idea to release AO + AE + SligStorm (a bonus game) but OWI don't even concidert the possibility yet

General Drippik 09-10-2002 01:10 AM

Shrink is in my house, having a cup of tea.

dripik 09-18-2002 05:39 PM

Ok. And where Shrink supposed to be? In the room where Abe hangs over the meat grinder in AO?

Xavier 09-18-2002 05:44 PM

well, I can tell you, one of them was in there, but basicly they are in the same room as Sam

dripik 09-18-2002 05:49 PM

Ok. Thanks. Yes, I saw that picture of Sam and those Shrinks.

Cloverfield 09-19-2002 05:09 AM

Over here (in Australia) Abe's Oddysee was re-released twice for the PS version ... it was released in the PlayStation Platinum range (where they re-release some of the popular older games at a lower price) and recently in a similar range by Infogrames (I'm not sure what the range was called).

As far as I'm aware, Abe's Exoddus has not been re-released for the PS. However both games were re-released for the PC under a "PC Platinum" range. But this was a few years ago and they are again hard to find.

I don't think the games need to be re-made (as opposed to re-released), as the graphics (especially the FMVs and backgrounds) are wonderful and are great quality compared to other PS games. You need to not compare them with the current generation consoles like the Xbox and PS2 as graphics are now changed.

Abe Babe...

dripik 09-30-2002 12:49 PM

ok, and what happens in that FMV? I want to know...

Xavier 09-30-2002 02:58 PM

just a little talk between abe and a shrink
it was intended to be a TV comercial

dripik 09-30-2002 05:42 PM

Ok. And about what? If anyone saw that FMV, please tell!

Details, please, details! :D :D :D

Abe516 10-01-2002 05:57 PM

If they put shrinks in a game, wudd it be an enemy? i mean, is got claws and stuff, and probably comes with an attatchin buzz saw....

Xavier 10-01-2002 07:02 PM

they wont put it in a game like an agressive character... so no weapons

Disgruntled Intern 10-02-2002 12:45 AM

If anything, I would imagine the shrink would be severely depressed, and slightly masochistic. I mean, a machine that is self aware is automatically proned to boredom, sadness, and anger.

I'm sure that a machine/robot that was devoted to making one thing happy and stable, all the time, would eventually become quite resentful of that creature, or even worse, it's species.

It also wouldn't surprise me, if that by the time we meet the shrink, he's gone insane. His shelf life isn't exactly short, you know.

I actually would like it alot of he was insane when we meet him...it would really get that dark, gritty feel back to the game. A nice touch, since MO was so childish, and 'bright' feel.

Xavier, I hope you reply to this, as you always have such interesting ideas and theories.

Xavier 10-02-2002 03:52 AM

(don't forget there are many shrinks)
Disgruntled Intern, I like that idea very much
a little "speach" with an insane shrink could be very creepy, like he dunno what he tels, he becaume angry then sad, he can't control himself anymore...
pretty scary.

Disgruntled Intern 10-02-2002 04:20 AM

Exactly!

It would be neat to see his mood changes, and possibly take care of any 'interruptions'....:D

He/she/it should be self delusional, at best.


I wonder if the shrinks are capable of comitting suicide?

Xavier 10-02-2002 04:22 AM

well I think they can't.. cause they will have done it long time ago, those guys are all the time depressed.

I want to see something like that, that was realy a good idea!
