[Cloverfield]

While the gamespeak of MO definately wasn't as good as that of the Abe games, it definately was easier to use. With the Abe games we had to memorize combinations, but w/ the Xbox, it was much simpler due to the button sensitity technology. But the Abe games didn't have that advantage, there was no choice other than to use button combinations.

I'm not quite sure that there will be any Gamespeak in Oddworld 4. On the Xfactor and even in the recent interview with Lorne, there is reference to different styles of gameplay to the previous games. And the footage we have seen makes it look like the game switches between first to third person mode. Also the fact that Stranger seems like a character that works alone. He may not enlist the help of anyone else. The tasks might need to be completed by the character itself. Just because it was in the previous games, doesn't mean that it has to be in this one.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be in it though. Of course it would be cool if they did incorporate it, but on the other hand, if they are going for a fresh and new approach, then maybe it isn't needed. They might be coming up with something new and unique or something that is similar that you wouldn't even think of until you see it .
