Which game is going to have more than one Bonus game?
 
Well theres Abes Exoddus and the not yet finnished Munch's Exoddus. Which game will have more than one Bonus game? Squeek, Nod or who ever it may be? Hand of Odd couldn't be a Bonus game for Munch or could it? But we already know Hand of Odd is part of a different seris and not the quintology. We used Oddyssy and we used Exoddus. what would be a second Bonus game title or a third? Interesting thought. What do you think?

well i think i see what your saying...
you're saying that since they already used 'oddysee' and 'Exoddus' on Abe, that they will need different titles for Munch?
If that's what your saying...since Munch already has an Oddysee, i see no reason why the bonus game couldn't be Munch's Exoddus...

Well, Paramiteabe, read "The Oddworld Quintology" part of the AE game bokk-let.

I ment what would be the title if there was a bonus game for a bonus game Like say Munch's Oddyssy and then comes Munch's Exoddus. And now say Lanning decided to create a second bonus game Munch's what? After Munch's Exoddus. Not saying he will though. I don't think a title like Munch's Exoddus Exoddus would work. What could he use?

I see what you're getting at.

Well, several people have probably though of an Illiodd, after the great Greek Illiad. Illiad in everyday language means 'a series of disasters', which could be an appropriate title.

There are a couple of other words I've found, neither of which I can remember. One means 'brotherhood', and the other is a fictional word in a book I once saw, in which the SS men regroup or somethng similar.

there isn't the "odd" in those names

Disgruntled Intern 01-17-2002 05:44 PM

Uh...since AE was a 'bonus' game, and didn't count as game #2 of the quintilogy, why wouldn't ME also be the bonus game for MO?
i think each new character that is introduced will have an 'exoddus' following their oddysee...

paramiteabe 01-17-2002 10:08 PM

After Exoddus what happens? Lanning said there will be some games with more than one bonus game. I wounder if Munch will be like that?

When I heard about MO and Hand of Odd I thought Well this is the 5 games AO AE MO ME and Hand of odd. Then I relised that Ae is a bonus game that ment ME is a bonus. Then you hear about squeek Oddysee and Squeeks exoddus Ok now I'm confused.

Wolfpac 01-18-2002 04:28 AM

Just to change topic's Slightly, Would you like it if there were two bonus games. Myself I would have to say No. To me it would seem like they are just doing it to fill in time. Two games for each character is good. Now look at Movies. If the first one is good it has a sequal. But if the sequal dose well there could be a 3rd installment. But tell me. How many Movies can you name where the 3rd Movies was as good as the first. (And I don't mean when they planned 3) I think the same goes for games. Yes the Graphics are better, but the storyline isn't.

Xavier 01-18-2002 12:02 PM

Let me do a little recapitulation...

quintology:
1 Abe's Oddysee
+ bonus => Abe's Exoddus
2 Munch's Oddysee
+ bonus => Munch's Exoddus
3 Squeek's Oddysee
+ bonus => ?
4 Nod's Oddysee
+ bonus => ?
5 ???'s Oddysee
+ bonus => ?

Out quintology

Hand Of Odd

Joe the Intern 01-19-2002 11:07 PM

Max, I think you nailed it, buddy. :) The appropraite title would be Illiod. But, I don't think they would make two bonus games.

Shrykullmaster 01-21-2002 07:51 PM

y not, i remember, on the back of the manual for AE, they say sumthin like this: Abe's Exodous is the first bonus game and will not count towards the 5 games in the quintology. The followin games will also have one OR MORE bonus games.... so there could be mor then just Exodous in the seires but they could have scraped that idea

Joe the Intern 01-21-2002 09:26 PM

I don't remember the back of the booklet saying that. Then again, I lost that booklet a long time ago. ;)

MrBoj 01-21-2002 11:28 PM

"Oddworld: Abe's Exxodus is the first 'bonus game' in a five part game series from Oddworld Inhabitants called 'The Oddworld Quintology.'" Each part of the Quintology will have one or more bonus games." There, straight from the manual. So will there be a secong bonus game to MO? Only time will tell.

Wil 01-23-2002 03:54 PM

Lorne himself has said that he has a lot of great plans for Munch, meaning we can probably expect more than one bonus game for Munch's Oddysee.

Which is nice.

Xavier 01-23-2002 04:54 PM

Squeek is Lorne first character so we maybe will heve more than one game for him !

MrBoj 01-23-2002 07:16 PM

uh,what exactly do you mean by that, Xavier?

Xavier 01-24-2002 03:25 AM

I mean:
Lorne came out bed an think: I want to do somehing special! And he imagined Squeek first (not abe or munch). But made before his Squeek some games. But I gess he have big Idees for Squeek so lots of games

Pilot 01-24-2002 03:48 AM

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Yes, that is correct, Xavier. Lorne initially created Squeek, and then thought up Abe and Munch afterwards in order to "lead up" to Squeek.

Of cource I'm right... :D
So I think Squeek will be realy strange.
And Why didn't Lorne introduce Squeek direcetely?

Shrykullmaster 01-26-2002 07:39 PM

maybe for suspense?

MrBoj 01-27-2002 08:10 PM

I didn't know Squeek was Lorne's first character. That puts things into perspective, something to thing about. I do remember that characters that doen't have that big of a role could have a bigger role in the the future. I always thought this ment the Meeches, what about them anyway? No news yet. They may still exist, but no evidence. hmmmm
