New game ideas
 
With oddworld back in business and new games imminent I was wondering what you guys wanted in future oddworld releases.
Do you want a side scroller like the original abe games ?
What type of story do you want? Etc, etc
I would personally like a games that looks, plays and feels like the first two games. Maybe a bridge between abes exodus and munches oddysee? Something that shows what happens to big face. Maybe raisin is rescued whilst abe is saving mudokens? Tell me your ideas ! :)

Yes

Complete remake of the first two games.

2D or 2.5D side scroller. New storyline, not bothered if it features Munch as long as Abe is the main character again. A bridge between Abe's Exoddus and Munch's Oddysee would be fine although I suspect any new storyline could probably fit anywhere into the chronology quite comfortably if it didn't have too much baggage.

OddChipango 12-27-2010 04:32 PM

OI remaking the first two games would be dumb as the first two games are just PERFECT as they are. We want new stories around abe with the classic scenery, gameplay, ambience, and all.

Yes

Why would you want the original two remade? Or do you mean revamped into HD?

Abeguy 12-27-2010 05:35 PM

HD Patches, please.

I still can't understand why you wouldn't want something totally new, I really can't.

Oddey 12-28-2010 12:25 AM

I want to see Abe's smiling mug at the title screen in a new game. That alone would score a star in my opinion. I would like to see either: some more complex puzzles, like in the first two games, but not neccesarily in 2D or 2.5D, or: an FPS remniscent of the way SW handled it. Similar to any other FPS, yet different.

Phylum 12-28-2010 12:40 AM

So the next Quintology game or Fangus?

I mean HD 2.5D remake.

It's the only way to have ao and ae in HD 2.5D remake.

They've just rereleased AO and AE for the PC on Steam. It wouldn't make much business sense to do a remake at this point.

And for the majority of us who are fans of the series, it wouldn't be as interesting as a new game either, as we have played AO and AE for years.

Manco 12-28-2010 03:13 AM

Come on guys, HD remakes of AO/AE would be cool, but new stuff should take priority.

I honestly couldn't decide between these.
I think I'd prefer them to put out an "extra" game first before continuing the Quintology. Get them back into the Odd groove, you know?

Wil 12-28-2010 03:40 AM

If it came down to a new Quintology game or Fangus, I'd vote for Fangus. There are already levels and character animations, probably more. Gives them a head start, and it'd probably have more mainstream appeal.

Dynamithix 12-28-2010 03:58 AM

Fangus looks interesting, but I really want to see how the Quintology continues.

Xavier 12-28-2010 05:06 AM

I think I've already stated this countless times but just to make sure:

I WANT TO PLAY THE BRUTAL BALLAD OF FANGUS KLOT!

Manco 12-28-2010 05:38 AM

I guess I'd also like to see a Stranger's Wrath sequel - I think there's still some loose threads at the end of that game that deserve to be tied up.

Andrelvis 12-28-2010 08:50 AM

I want Fangus only if it actually is set in Oddworld, and as per Lorne's vision; that is, not having the characters be too humanlike.

Crashpunk 12-28-2010 09:35 AM

I want Munch's Exoddus or Squeek's Oddysee perhaps a new Stranger game
and a 2.5D Side Scrolling game like AO and AE

elums mum 12-28-2010 03:24 PM

I think as jaw is still only pretty small a game like fangus might be a bit ambitious for them at the moment. I think a side scroller might be easier to make. And quicker :D lol .
But then again I suppose they already have experience with 3d games remakeing stranger and all. Hmmm .

Oh and fangus should deffffo be set in oddworld. Not some crappy planet with gangsta cats, etc :-/

Wil 12-28-2010 03:30 PM

Except that a) since characters have already been modelled, they'd have to be re-modelled to make them Oddworldy enough to be Oddworlian, and b) gangster cats was part of the original Oddworld premise.

EDIT: By which I mean the original premise of Fangus while it was indisputably set on Oddworld.

elums mum 12-28-2010 04:29 PM

I still think the cats should go. Unless ofcourse the cats are altered to only slighlty resemble cats in the same way paramites only slightly resemble spiders, or in the same way stranger only slightly resembles a deer/lion. You know , make them odd.I think the more earthly, animal inhabitants (chicken people) are a bit lazy. They dont really tie in well with oddworld if you know what I mean.
I want an oddworld game ! And i want it odd! Lol.

I don't know, they have moved their offices and have been recruiting in the last few months. We have no idea what their size is at the moment.

kjjcarpenter 12-28-2010 11:12 PM

I may sound like a noob, but was is "jaw"?

And I assume chicken people are in SW? I recently downloaded it on Steam, but haven't had the chance to play it—yet. I do agree that it sounds somewhat laughable, along with cat gangsters, but I trust Lorne.

leocrow 12-29-2010 01:20 AM

Jaw is the company that is porting Stranger's Wrath for the pc and ps3. They are also the ones who are planning to do future oddworld games.

I too hope for a 2.5d game, it's faster and probably for the best. However, a 3d may be more profitable but also more expensive to make. If they feel up to it, i could see it, but i would expect more than what we saw with munch. I'm not really talking about the graphics which were good enough for me but for the controls which are horrible. For me, an ideal 3d game should have controls like ubisoft's prince of persia games

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 12-29-2010 01:51 AM

well i heard on facebook, that the next oddworld game will feature our favourite hero, and come on, we all know who that is dont we? i just hope its a 2.5d side-scrolller, and without munch, im not too fond of him.

Jaw is Just Add Water.

Jango 12-30-2010 10:24 AM

Well I would definitely want a new 2D game if there was to be another Oddworld, along with an easy-to-use full-blown level editor/maker/creator type thing. :)

Er. Haven't LittleBigPlanet done that exact very thing?

Wil 12-30-2010 11:36 AM

No, they haven't made an Oddworld game level editor.

STM 12-31-2010 08:52 AM

Perhaps an RTS but with RPG themes thrown in, and not like full scale all out war like AOE or the first DOW, a team tactical involving skill, strategy, level up and things like hiding units in shadows. Would be fun for me at least.
