In my opinon OWI is doing a fair job. Of course there was MO and even Lorne says that was a dissapointment but my point is that we've only seen that so far. We haven't even had another game to compare to MO and see if OWI is indeed failing to meet our expectations. As far as some of the creatures, well the Salamander things did look awefull but keep in mind how many transitions every charater goes through before it show's up in the final product.
Now on to the Hickens. I don't think they look all that bad, they basicly give me the feeling that I feel when I see Meep (which I don't think are very Oddworldish at all but no one seem's to complain.) Im sure they've had some alterations during the time from when the X-Factor footage was first shot. And as for the Blob things..well I actually truely like these. I see extreem potental in these and I've always imagined them as river dwellers that kinda grow plantlife on their backs for camoflauge. Remember, this game will most definately be a departure from the other three Oddworld games. It seems to have a mix of a Western and Old Riverboat type theme (which are both pretty interesting theme's to mix). Remember in the lates Inhabitan's interview there is a mention of "Tom Huck" which might indicate the type of atmosphere we'll see on any river levels.
