i hope we dont have to fight them,
They look like they use VOODOO:p:p

Xavier 12-15-2004 10:43 AM

yeah the little thing in the middle is Stranger's Centaur form...

I doubt you'll have to fight Grubbs... I think you rather help them

Oddish 12-15-2004 11:09 AM

Great find Xav.

I can tell those are very early sreenshots, and the Stranger centaur form looks good.

I can see it now!!
Jup i think i searched some other stranger type things:p

I like the look of all these native's:)
and i think this Grubb is very cool:p

Esus 12-15-2004 11:37 AM

Thesse are very new screenshots. The new model of the zappfly and the upgraded stingbee is in it. As are new UI graphics for collecting money of the floor. And we see what appears to be an upgraded crossbow.
We saw the boat (just) in the one of the videos, along with the snowy dday scene.
Btw, that no clothers is Stranger in centaur form.

Xavier 12-15-2004 12:31 PM

Yeah I know Esus, the centaur form has no clothes, but when I first saw the picture (stranger without clothes) I didn't knew he was a centaur... I just wondered where his clothes were

Wil 12-15-2004 01:11 PM

Great find, Xavier, these screenshots are fantastic. The environment with the boat in it looks so mystic and mysterious, I can't wait for a better view. It'll probably turn out to be a sewer. The D-Day--style beach looks nice, particularly the buildings on the hill. With any luck there'll be some nifty snow physics, such as melted patches when Boombats explode.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is D. Caste Raider's famous spiked mallet. Now we just have to see his Slegs.

Alcar 12-15-2004 04:37 PM

Nice find Xavier, you seem to have a knack for finding foreign sites with Stranger information. I like the screenshots, but that Snow region looks a little underpar in terms of graphics, compared to what we've seen before. The houses look blurred, or something similar.

Oddish, is that what you meant by knowing they were early screenshots? In that, the quality wasn't as good as we've seen previously?

Alcar...

Xavier 12-16-2004 09:22 AM

well actually Lorne did a press conference in Paris a few days ago
so plenty of french sites have features about oddworld now
:D

You can tell if you just look at the health bar.

Incognito 12-16-2004 02:35 PM

Is grubs the official name for the natives? Do we have an official name for those other native type creatures? The round flabby ones.

Loving the centaur form.

wow, Wolvarks in GamePlay
So those are wolvarks, cool.

Wil 12-17-2004 09:19 AM

The salamanders can now be called Grubbs, yes. The only name we have for the other natives is Scuba Toads.

Oddish 12-17-2004 10:53 AM

I don't think the name "Grubbs" is a good species name.

Xavier 12-17-2004 12:11 PM

I think it is...
the name does fit the species well!

can't wait to see them move in GamePlay

Esus 12-17-2004 12:37 PM

I think it fits perfectly. I've been wondering for more than a while what they would call them that could fit, and I'm glad they won't just remain as 'natives'.

Teal 12-17-2004 03:48 PM

...is it just me, or does that spindly little centaur body look WAAAY to puny to support that massive upper body? Like it'd break its legs if it were to run...? ;)

sligster 12-17-2004 05:46 PM

o, no!

Software Bug 12-18-2004 12:18 AM

wel... halo...
maby that monster will fit in mechasault:)
i dont like the metal freaked monsters in the game...:(
it would be better if OWI made some realy big form thats realy hard to beat and where you have 1 hour fun of:p

Alcar 12-18-2004 03:31 AM

Most of the images I come across, including these, all show a more first person action orientation, and not the stealthy third person adventure I'd prefer. But I can understand why, firing weapons must be so much more interesting :fuzzle:

And what is the deal with the word 'zoom'? Is that French for 'preview'? Or is it some catchy word that has become synonymous with preview?

Alcar...

Xavier 12-18-2004 04:27 AM

Zoom is the French way to say Preview...
actually they take a very close look to the game, so they call it a Zoom
