You people are just amazeing. The game is not even done yet and your already giveing it critisisem over some pictures of chicken and salimander influenced characters. For all we know they arent main characters. What do you want from Oddworld? Its like you people are dwelling in the past and are afraid to try new and bold things for Oddworld. We will see those things again but they are trying this new idea now. Give Steef a chance mann. If I was doing something like this and my audience was critisiseing me for stuff I haven't even finnished yet let alone released anything but a few early concepts then the hell with them I am doing that. It will be like "they don't know anything about my world so shut up!" Oddworld is Lornes vision what ever he comes up with is his own art wether you like it or not. But do we really have to critisise this game when its not even done yet? As far as I am concern there was nothing childish about those scenes. They had some bit of comic releaf but thats ok its not like comic releaf is always a childish thing. For all we know you get killed in the game and the Chickens look at you and start acting arrogant. Theres your dark humor.
The chickens are arrogant creatures the Salimanders are probabally really religious native river folk who dance a lot. The inhabitants of Oddworld is getting wierder as time goes on that is why we are seeing things that look like chickens and horses/ gorillia whome have a Clint Eastwood personality. Frog like creatures that do wierd dances and on top of that the inhabitants we already know of from previous games. If you ask me thats some pretty wierd things. Its only going to get stranger and I pridict the new things we will see in later games will look even more rediculious. All I am saying is you shouldn't really critisise this until you have the game in your possession. Until then we don't know anything.
