Hm. I really don't know what to think about this. Lorne seemed so passionate about games before, certain that they would be the dominant entertainment medium for ages to come. And then....movies.
Movies to me don't seem all bad, although it is disappointing that the entire charisma of being in Oddworld won't be available to us anymore. 'Sides, once in an interview he said he already had all five story layouts. I feel sad that the stories won't be told to us in the form that they were told to us before, or even told at all.
Oddworld isn't just a videogame. It's a concept, a property universe. Only because the games will be mostly obsolete in a few decades, it doesn't mean it won't touch a few people so deeply they'll hold on for the rest of their lives. Transferring it to a different medium is tweaking the way Oddworld is supposed to function, in a sense.
But as long as the movie is well done (the Oddworld movie I mean) and has the same dark, mystical feel AO had, I'm pretty much for it. It’ll alert the world to Oddworld a little more, as long as Oddworld is revealed the right way, the real way like it used to be.
