Stranger's boat
Oh so very long ago
about a year ago we were talking about Stranger (we called him Steef then) having a talking boat or something. Was that actulley in the game or were we wrong? |
there is a boat, but it doesn't talk. It shoots... :)

Interesting how EGM [kind of] got it right, when we were all thinking that it was just another rumor. Maybe we should trust EGM in the future. ;)

I. E. He used the word "Strange" with the "S" capitolized like it was a name.
Xav, just how long did you say you knew about this game? |
Oh god, I remeber those days. I completely outlawed it as a possibility of an Oddworld game. Those days were so funnee. Well, Xav, how long did you know of this game, or are you just phsycic..?

Could just be a grammatical error guys. Always the ones to jump to conspiracies :p
I was kind of disapointed with the boat. I didn't think the automatic gun was suited, and the boat's controls seemed a bit rushed. Not to mention I didn't travel a lot in it. But, it was still enjoyable to see it retained from the initial rumoured storyline. Alcar... |
I tough the boat was realy well done and nice to play with!!!
guy, I didn't knew about the game at that time, honestly |
I loved the control and motion of the boat, especially how you can still paddle slowly when in 1st person. The design of it is simply wonderful, and I regret criticising the early designs so. The quick-fire weapon seems a bit odd for Grubb technology, but I'm willing to let that pass. Alf's Rehab and Tea has a sign rivalling any made by the Magog Sign Company.

Retrospectively, that is probably the funniest thread I've ever read in my life.
"once I read the information I knew it was fake." "As soon as I read the word monkey and horse I knew that was just a complete fake." "Its not real and its not oddworld look for the clues in the article." All on this thread must promise never to doubt information given in magazines again! Okay.... well, maybe not. But that's still really funny! :D |

Hmmm...
I remember reading that artical. Perhaps the reason they didn't have it be a TALKING boat was because Zelda: Wind Waker came out with it's OWN Talking Boat: The King of Red Lions ^^
I bet it woulda been awesome to have the boat talk. I bet it woulda been like a Chipunk, only in boat form! |
