IGN finally gets info we allready have. :D Good job IGN!
-oddguy |
Ah well still good of em to try :fuzgrin:
|
lol they are fine, but Sapph's are still the best out here... :p
|
So when were the cards originally released then. :fuzconf:
|
Sapphire was able to provide photos of them a couple of weeks ago, which I have hosted on TOE.
EDIT: Hayley uploaded them onto Depths of Oddworld, too. |
It would be cool if OWI send those cards to us like they did with the Chrismas card.:fuzgrin:

It would be cool but don't get your hopes up. Personally I am surprised and amazed every time I get something from them (whether its a card or some stickers from a past GDC). I mean, how many companies would go to the effort and expense of sending all its fans a christmas card? That's why I love OWI and want to bear Lorne Lanning's children. Ok, so that may take an operation or two and some intensive hormone therapy but it would be worth it.

He's MAH man. |
I suppose we'll just have to learn to share
WOOHOO! Creepy fan-based threesome! |
:
Hmmmm, says me. Anyway, I'd just love to get my hands on at least one of those cards. -oddguy :stare: |
I would love to have those cards...
I think OWI should held some contests to fans so they can win tiny bits of merchendising :p |
That's just what I was thinking earlier today, Xav. :p I thought they could have a Knowledge Quiz, but I kept coming to the conclusion that I would be banned from them. :fuzconf:
|
lol
so true... they can't do some oddworld trivia quiz, except if you are going on vacation to a place without internet :p |

What's a Sleg?
That is what I'm wondering after seeing the text about "D. Caste Raider" Maybe we have a new Creature? I'm sure it isn't a spelling error, the texts are from OWI... |
We dunno what one is yet, though so far it has been widely assumed it is the warthog/slog mixture type creature that is seen both on the old Oddworld Logo and on the X-Factor video.
|
Old Oddworld Logo? What do you mean, I haven't seen anything resembling a Sleg on them...
Alcar... |

There's a large one in front of the one we might want to assume is Tiny, and a smaller one next to the Scuba Toad. EDIT: And I should really credit Hayley for that image. |

So we still have three creatures at the background that are yet remain a mystery. Also we have the Octigy famly,and possibley the mudokns and that vykker that we saw on the X-Factor.
I emailed Alf about the muds and Octigy, but forgot about the vykker. Those salmanders. i think the one with the hat is a leader or some sort. The other one is probalty a assisant.Thats what i bellieve. |
I doubt Sligs, Mudokon or Vykkers will appear in Stranger. I think they were used to stand in for other characters - the Mudokons for the salamanders, the Sligs for the orcs. As for the Vykkers, well, there was an airship that looked reasonably Vykker-esque in design in those production images, butthe Vykkers in the storyboarding might have been standing in for the Clakker that hands Stranger his Moolah. Anyone notice that Meagly McGraw's card has the same pigeonholed background?
|
Max... uhm yeah...
they remplaced all the creatures to mislead us? that's it? it must have been a hell lot of work just to... mislead us? |
True, but they have said they're using a fresh cast, which would indicate they're not going to use the more familiar characters overly - which means I doubt we'll be seeing an entire field of Sligs. The Mudokon town might drift by uneventfully, and one Vykker isn't going to significantly taint the new cast, so who knows.
|
Blah!
*knows that he was right since Max edited his post* :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Anyway...maybe the entire field of sligs was just a demonstration of OWI's new graphic engine. Like a short demo to show Ed Fries so that he knows what the CG looks like. Companies do that all the time. -oddguy |
Oddguy's probably right
|
Jesus, Dodger, shrink that signature text please.
|
While I was talking to morgo tonight, we both agree that it's good the game appears to be getting back to it's dark roots.
Although the characters aren't very creative, I was impressed with a couple things so far. Unfortunately, I'm too apathetic towards the whole thing to go into great detail. Flint's mouth reminds me of an open wound. Took me ages to find the right wording for it, but there you go. |
Well we have wait n' see what casts we going to have.
On the Mudanchee level it had this sign that said something like "Scrab hunting ,comming soon" in AE. Since Stranger is based on hunting, we might see scrabs.:fuzblink: |
Scrab-O-Rama...
hmm maybe we could see a reference in Stranger indeed :p |
:
Hmmm, looks like another thing to discuss... |
you have to give cash to go to scrab-o-rama ;)
for me a simple affiche in stranger would be good enough! |
Well, it has been noted that the ground of the jungle is highly remeniscent of Necrum. Maybe it is someplace nearby, in which case the Scrab-O-Rama idea sounds reasonable. Otherwise, I think Stranger takes place in the north of Mudos, as that's where mountains have been described as being before (though not to say they couldn't be elsewhere). However, there's also the river, which could be the same one Abe and Munch ended MO over.
|
:
And Max, I brought this up before (I think) and I made a picture of where I thought Stranger would travel, I'll dig it out of my archives in a bit. |
Ya might just be able to catch your ammo but there are loads of stuff you could get in game. It makes sence and it is also class.
|
The Clakker was telling Stranger where he could get his Moolah, so maybe that's where Stranger has to go in the first level. Just an idea. I'd love to see your picture. Geography is very important to me. :nerd:
