Pretty shocking Luxo. The only bad thing about that is now I cannot ever say again that you have dissagreed with "EVERYTHING" I have ever said.
Dragadon: I see your point, and concerns to be well founded. However another issue and one even more on the scary side is will Oddworld remain at least close to its roots as a very original and unique game. I believe to a point yes. But sometimes a series can turn to that "LETS GET TO THE MAIN STREAM PEOPLE MORE ATTITUDE". That would be a shame and crime. A real rape of what the series really is about.
I believe when the game is actually finished and played through that we will get that "MYSTICAL" feel back that we love from past Oddworld games. The arcade like gameplay we have seen has been more for the "QUICK FIX" or demo's and movies. But once in the game that good ol' puzzle solving and stealth and brain twisting gameplay will be back, It had better be, because if not that would be a true loss.
So here's to thinking positive and hoping things "WILL" work out for the best.
