'All nations of Oddworld seems a bit too much for a hero.'

Indeedles, i'm a bit wary of this as well. Sounds a bit too...crap.

Unless it's something to do with pollution or something. Meh.

'Yeah, Dipstikk is totally right.'

Or, as i am actually called, Jacob. Unless Dipstikk said something along those lines as well.

Anyway, if it is a real thing then i would suspect that this idea and game would be a stab at the American Government, and it wouldn't surprise me if the invaders were a race with similarities to the American Government.

I'm also quite intrigued as to how they'll make this title "stand-out". Thus far with all of their games they've had one main selling point. 'Stranger' had the Live ammo, Abe and Munch had Gamespeak, but since this has already been done, i wonder how far they'll go to make this game seem original. Though the Sheep things seem interesting.

Also, when LCF was describing Fangus, he did sound a bit like Stranger himself. A mane and all, with a Lion-esque face.

I think the name's a bit sh*t though. 'Fangus'. Especially with the country being all 'Fangustan'.

Hmmm...but as i said before, there're few things that affect the world on a whole. And since the OW games have a tendency to reflect certain happenings on Earth, it wouldn't surprise me if Oddworld brought up the issue of pollution and global warming. Possibly disease. And even terrorism.
