OWI's end...NOT!
 

I've been reading a lot of topics about "what happens after the quintology?" and it's no secret to anyone that the Habitales(eg HoO) and Fearietales(no eg known to me) will make about 4 or 5 games more, then movies and stuff(but I reckon movies will be made at the same time that games, just hope they won't be no disappointment... like FF *sigh*).
but what about then? well I figured that, actually, Oddworld doesn't have to end(at least no for lack of ideas, which will make crappy games, which in turn will precede OWI's end). No racing games, or shoot'em ups like some of u folks thought about(and I've expressed my disagreement already) the solution is: another world. I'm thinkin about some stargate kind of thing(although more mystical, not made by some anciente space travelers... morte made by gods), and we'd only need 1. Abe goes through there, and tadaa, a brand new oddworld to discover! And eventually the 2 worlds might interact with eachother. And even make some kind of war (HoO 2... or 3 by that matter). There might even be meeches there, that some wise and nice guy, sent there so they would still live on (I AM a meech-venerator, sorry)
So u see, folks... there's no worry as of what'll happen to the marvellous universe that Oddworld is on. Ur grand-children'll still play Abe!:D

an other world? forget it. Oddworld is ONE world
Maybe an other saga and long story or something like that
(quintology 2)

well, the forums and the chat can be run after finishing games and movies... And we, the Oddworld fans won't throw out the games! We will play with them through years and years! Am I saying it right or not?

Imagine a game where Mudokons and others meet the human kind! Just joking... :D

well, personnaly, I'm not sure the Oddworld Games have a high re-play value

My guess is that when, or if, each new quintology begings it will take place on a different contenate. We start off on Mudos, a small contenate and barely known to the rest of Oddworld's Industrial world. After Abe and pals 'change' Mudos' way of industry a new hero appears on a different contenate, eventually all the contenates are explored and the face of Oddworld is changed forever...:fuzconf:

yes but each time the same kind of story would be boring, so OWI will have to make some new objectives.

I agree with you Oddsville, that idea is realy nice

Thanks Xavier, just one of my theorys. Anyways I could be (and probably am) wrong about how its gonna work. I do know that we will visit Oddworlds spirit realm and days long past on Oddworld so what else could they do?... prehaps the future??:fuzwink:

the past and the future? wich is more intresting? I think the future is, since Hand of Odd will be a big part of the past

I wouldn't like Oddworld to turn into science-fiction of any kind. So no space-travel, no inter-planetary wars, no time travel and so on. Oddworld is said to be ten times the size of the Earth, and so far we've only peered at a small section of a small continent the size of [insert name of island I can't remember the name of].

Oddworld is big - very big - and we've only had...hey, I wonder if this is copyright...

ye know, Xavier, I agree with you that Oddwrold is one world , and it's unique andall that stuff, but eventually Oddworld will be fully discovered(or will it be?) and then is problem, maybe my solution isn't the best one, but I think it's worth thinkin about it. Oddsville idea IS good, but it comes before my theory, since I am thinking beyond the whole Oddworld is revealed.
Another theory would be the one of a civilization-like sim(should be better, actually) where u'd rebuild Oddworld after the big strife against industrial species, after the ideals of peace and nature loving... think about it as after HoO, or something like that...
A 3rd theory(and last, THANK GOD!!!:fuzwink: ) would be the whole Oddworld story again, but from an industrial point of view. Maybe glukkons or sligs (I don't really like Vykkers, they should scram... no offense to Vykkers worshippers), that would have eventually reconverted to their peaceful primitive ways of the past(they had to start somewhere!) would be telling the story of how mudokons had made them see the light, and that they were crappin all over the place with their big factories and labs.
But I'd like to ask u how do u see a quintology 2?
And Max, when I said stargate, I meant just the gate, not the whole crap around it :)

A Quintology 2? We're barely a fifth of the way through this one as yet.

I'll just wait and see how this one pans out...

I agree with Max, no space travel etc.

I think by the end of the Quint we will have seen the entirity of OW. If not then maybe, if they decide to make a new set of games, the games will actually take place on OW, in a unknown continant or in the past/future. Or, maybe they will do a different world completly...with no creatures from the past games in...

I just hope that it still will be on Oddworld and several years after the end of the quintology, IF they do it, of cource

they'll HAVE to do it... I mean, how much time will the whole quint and the Habitales and Fearietales need to be finished?

wild guess: 50 years (films non-included)
