What other kind of games should they make within the Oddworld universe?
 
Should they make:
  • Adventures or
    Racing games or
    Shooters or
    Arcades or
    Virtual pet games :D or
    Realtime strategy or
    Turnbased strategy or
    Flightsims or
    Educational games or
    Sports games or
    Simulations or
    Should they stay to platformers?

BTW: "They" are Oddworld Inhabitants.

i think that after the quintology they could do most of them...
but the the main quintology games (the Oddysees and the Exodduses) should be the same genera as they are...
but they could do extra mini games like Square did with Chocobo Racing


eg:
Adventures - they already do them
Racing games - elum racing?
Shooters - slig-em-ups?
Arcades - PacAbe (replace the lil' circles with humshrubs)
Virtual pet games - gabiar simulator
Realtime strategy - controlling an army
Turnbased strategy - like worms?
Flightsims - meetle racing
Educational games - gabbit counting - that's easy...ONE!
Sports games - fuzzball
Simulations - simOddcity

You mean Oddworld Adventures 1 & 2 on Gameboy? I mean the type adventure, you know, talking to people, carrying objects, solving puzzles, no fighting.... you know, that almost dead genre.

BTW: cool ideas!

Racing??? no, it's too stupid: Abe on Elum Munch on Fuzzles, lol

Strategi yes, => hand of odd

The only thing I know is there will be a Multiplayer game with Squeek...

Flying Simulation mayby, but it isn't so ODD

I think some mini-games with these themes would be fun...Virtual pet games definetly!!
BTW Gluk: Fuzzball? Do you know how offensive that is :)

ha, fightisms, never heard that before :)
I would like some more adventure and some sports.

i find the idea of mini-games repulsive, somehow. i think they would cheapen Oddworld, in the same way the bad jokes cheapened it in AE...

however, i think that Real-Time or Turn-Based Strategy games are a real possibility, and i don't think they would cheapen it in the same way that PacAbe would... after all, isn't Hand of Odd meant to be kinda like an RTS game?

Bad jokes in AE? Where?
