Idea for new game
 
How about a new oddworld game that is based on an industrial story but from the point of view of a glukkon or a slig.
One game could be a glukkons rise to glukstar status but through resource management.
Another game could be that you're a scrub and you get tired of the way you've been treated and so a secret resistance is formed to bring down industrial sites from the inside and then escape.
What do you think.

sounds like a job for abe
it's to much the same as before

Dipstikk 12-22-2002 01:26 PM

Good idea, though. Interesting...From an industrialist's point of view.:fuzgrin:
Not bad, not bad.

Jacobsucks 12-22-2002 04:33 PM

hmmm
 
Yes it sounds pretty interesting.

QuanTep 12-22-2002 05:44 PM

Actually I did think the Scrub idea was a repeated idea, but I think that a game from an industrialists point of view would be good because you could choose an industry like Rupture farms, Soulstorm brewery or Splinterz and then set up business and compete for profits. It could be online where you compete against other people and buy them out or sabotage their works. I would choose to run a slig barracks and when someone puts the squeeze on me then I'll trash their industry with an army of sligs.

Xavier 12-22-2002 05:48 PM

that sounds like an intresting idea... but I think it is what Hand of Odd is about

M.O.M 12-22-2002 05:50 PM

sounds interesting! we'll have to wait and see!

Munch007 12-22-2002 11:22 PM

Thats a great idea i think but have abe in them as well.

if abe is in it, then it's not the next game...

M.O.M 12-23-2002 08:36 AM

They gotta do ONE game where abe is not i it!

QuanTep 12-23-2002 09:49 AM

This should be made official as a game to feature an industrialists point of view. The number of possibilities are huge in a game like this especially if its online.

BigBro 12-23-2002 10:54 AM

I think OWI are going to try and take advantage of Xbox Live, but I think theyre probably going to use HoO for that, as it seems like the type of game that would be used for huge multiplayer games all over the world. I like this idea, but I dont think OWI would pick up on it, for the sake of legalalities.

Oddsville 12-23-2002 11:56 AM

Well at one time Oddworld was going to have a game (actually a mini game) from an industrialists point of view. Im sure most of you remember Sligstorm about an Albino Slig that was constantly regected into a social structure by other Sligs, etc.

Xavier 12-23-2002 12:04 PM

sure we do remember...
maybe it is that game that is in devloppement :fuzwink:

Oddsville 12-23-2002 12:39 PM

I would hope so, it sounds like a very interesting game and it would be cool to see an albino Slig.

BigBro 12-24-2002 01:57 AM

Hmm.. An albino Slig? That would be interesting. I wonder why he got rejected just coz he's a different colour.

Facsimile 12-24-2002 02:09 AM

Look at the human race.

BigBro 12-24-2002 02:19 AM

Thats fairly prejudiced.

Xavier 12-24-2002 06:52 AM

well he (the albino slig) is rejected because he is different, nothing more nothing less

Well I'll have you know that I have no idea what that means.

Xavier 12-24-2002 08:26 AM

prejudice is the fact that you juge someone on his apparences or origins..

exemple: think all frenchmens are stupid

in this case the albino is rejected only because he looks different

:lol: I know that was an example, but what made you think of that??

Xavier 12-24-2002 08:57 AM

it was the first thing that poped up in my mind...
I don't dislike frenchmens :fuzwink: , Psykobee (co-webmaster of oddworld maniac) is actually a frenchmen

BigBro 12-24-2002 09:02 AM

Still, even though it was the first thing that popped into your mind, it was a pretty amusing choice. You could have just said something like, "I dont like him because everyone else doesnt", but hey, it made me laugh. :D

that is another good exemple of prejudice, but there is also discrimination in it :fuzwink:

BigBro 12-24-2002 09:08 AM

Thats true, but its something you could have used. But Im not complaining, I liked yours better anyway. :D

QuanTep 12-24-2002 03:44 PM

Think of the possibilities with the Xbox and Live. Oddworld could be a massive place on an epic scale. Oddworld could just make one game and then leave stories and sub-plots and additions to the world online for people to download. I think everyone who has an Xbox will get Live eventually.

Xavier 12-24-2002 04:16 PM

something with some relations with the previous games but on an other continent could be pretty cool

It would be good with Live but if I were OWI I wouldn't let fans make the games, 1. It would wreck the story lines and 2. Its just wrong.

Xavier 12-27-2002 07:05 AM

we have to see...
I understand what you mean Facsimile, buthow could it broke the story lines?
if OWI is carefully it won't

Facsimile 12-27-2002 07:19 AM

But they can not control what the fans do

That was what the PS2 Munch's Oddysee was described as. Until it swapped over to the Xbox.

I haven't really got any clue on what it could be. It could be either SligStorm or a totally new game. But, as we all know SligStorm designs/ideas/pictures as quoted from Alf from an old Dear Alf question, are hanging up around the rooms of Oddworld Inhabitants.

So, the inspiration was always there :fuzsmile:

Am I the only one who thinks that an oddworld game without Abe couldn't be a real oddworld game? I mean, you HAVE to include him. Even if he has a small part in the game, Abe would make the connection to the new game idea with the prior games to the casual gamers.

As for downloadable contente, I think that's the least we'll get as an "online" option for the next oddworld game. I'd like that, and a small multiplayer game to be included. It would be fun for people to be able to take characters from either side and competes in mini-games online.

Xavier 12-27-2002 02:08 PM

hmmm Abe don't have to be in it...
Oddworld doens't equal Abe
but you are right when you say he have to be there just a bit, so the other people who aren't that fan of oddworld will not be loosed

Facsimile 12-27-2002 09:31 PM

No. No Abe. He can come back later but first we need to go somewhere very far away, with all new creatures and characters and work with them for a while, then bring 'em all together and find who this 'true' evil is, destroy them and have a party... With marshmellows!

[EDIT] And punch!

[EDIT2] And we can all wear party hats!

[EDIT3] With those things that you blow and they make the noise and they look like an unrolling tongue!!!

What is hand of odd?
Only had xbox for a couple off weeks, have got both AO and AE on PSX, played them to death, but never really kept up on anything oddish until now (Munch).

ps...wipe out prejudice, hate everyone!
(only a joke, but its funny in my world...the trees are purple, the sea is made of lemonade)

Xavier 01-03-2003 04:30 PM

go here you will have plenty of sweet infos about:

TheBigRaisin 01-03-2003 04:35 PM

TY XAV.....

so, the fifth game concept is already known?
seems a bit strange, they are going to have to make all the others in between fit.

seems a bit back wards to me (just like releasing star wars IV first)

will have to look into this more in depth!!!

any other info sites etc?
thanks

Xavier 01-03-2003 04:39 PM

the next game ISN'T Hand Of Odd
look at this it's from the official site


:

Q: What ever happened to Hand of Odd, Munch's Exoddus and/or Squeek's Oddysee?

A: We are currently not in production on those titles at this time. Oddworld is presently working on a title that is concurrent with the evolution of the Quintology, but unique from our previous games. So even though it is unlike anything we've released so far, we think you'll agree it couldn't have come from anyone but Oddworld.
for info sites you can go:

Oddworld Web
http://www.oddworld.au.com/

Oddworld Universe
http://www.oddworlduniverse.com/

Oddworld Maniac (mine but in french)
http://www.oddworld-fr.com/

Oddworld News if you only look for News
http://news.oddworld-fr.com/

Oddsville 01-03-2003 05:21 PM

Yes TBS Hand Of Odd won't be part of the Quintology but a different' series. It takes place during Oddworlds past and has similar gameplay to Age of Empires and the such. However OWI could have changed that name of the game and what its all about so we shouldn't expect it to be like that exactly.:fuzsmile:
