Yeah, I don't think that Oddworld will suck, but from the demo and videos it kind of looks this way. It just looks like another platformer where you run around collecting stuff. I think, like Steel Shark said, that all the more complex things (possesion, stealth, Gamespeak) were left out of the demo and or video because it would confuse the general audience. But those are really the high points of the game. I remember when I was playing the Munch demo people were like "That's a stupid kid's game. You just run around collecting stuff. Let's play Dead or Alive 3". I hope that as we get closer and closer OI makes up for its rather disappointing demo with alot of screenshots and movies detailing the more 'thinking' side of MO.
