I kinda agree with Caracal in the way that I don't want OWI to change major parts of the original OW drastically, but of course things would have to be changed to accommodate the movie and storytelling. After all, there's things which work in games, but don't work in movies. :P It'd also be nice to see old ideas merged together with new ideas - Including any unused concepts that they wanted to put into the original games, but never got around to it.
Mentioning slapstick humour made me think a little. Humour in general can be funny, but sometimes it took away the atmosphere and seriousness of the original game storylines (This wasn't a problem in SW but it was a major problem in MO and AE in comparison to AO) - I hope they don't do this with the movies. It's good when there's a balance. One thing I hope they don't do is primarily aim their movies at a younger audience, or whore themselves out again to big companies like they did when MO came out (and why is sHell all over the concepts of CS?! I hope it's being used as an example and not because sHell are sponsoring them or so).
I hope you're right with this - I'm a little sceptical. But that's only 'cause they screwed up majorly with MO and because Stranger didn't go as far as it should've done due to bad management decisions. CS doesn't seem that original to me either, and I really hope it'll go far (People like variations on things that have sort of been done before though, so that's perhaps not a bad thing).

I'm not really against changing major parts of OW, what I think is a shame is that there must be retconning AT ALL. But knowing that it IS going to take place, I think it's better to revamp things dtrastically so it's almost an alternate universe as a way of doing away with any probable confusion.
I think it could even be a good idea to make AO and AE into the same adventure...
Do you guys really have no ideas or hopes for OW2.0? I really thought people would have a little more hope for it...specially with the art we've seen. I mean I know that Lorne can probably handle things on his own, but that doesnt mean that it wouldnt be a good thing for us to think what could be posible in this revamped universe.
I'm very intrigued by that one pic where we see the Muds in a metropolitan type area like we've never seen in Abe's adventures....I think that opens a posiblity for a lot of social criticism goodness
