Geez, these badass characters are being developed because they fit in with the game engine oddworld have developed, that doesn't mean oddworlds changing!! There will still be new characters developed that are going to be schmucks.
And saying that Oddworld has had enough of Abe is just stupid, of course we are going to see Abe and Munch again, maybe in 5,10 or 20 years time in film or games.
Oddworld are obviously trying to develop multiple characters in different game genres, maybe to build up a wider fan base before the first Oddworld movie is made.
Think of Oddworld as a comic book company like Marvel, they have all sorts of different charcters in their universe, some people like spiderman or X-men others like blade or the punisher, the thing is they have different characters, for different tastes.
Man I hate these pre game rants, people talk so much crap(Like me
) but it cheeses me off.
Peace out guys
