I'm not sure the rayman team has taken something from Oddworld, or the contrary. Rayman 3 was a fun game but I dont see what oddworld game you think it looks like. Plus I'm not sure Michel Ancel's team could carry on Lorne's work, but I have to agree king kong looks nice and beyond good and evil is a masterpiece.
to your second question: Lorne always wanted to do oddworld movie, he's been thinking about it for 15 years
Stranger looks too strange to play? Is that wat you try to say?
well tha's a pity because Stranger is one of Oddworld best games.
