I can kind of understand the criticisms about the lack of LEDs – in my eye, Oddworld has always followed this kind of retro, Victorian-style dystopian theme, full of grime and dirty smoke and bare metal. Holograms don’t fit in quite as well as an LED screen, you know?
On the other hand, now I think about it I feel like a really old, flickering CRT screen would work out even better than either holograms or LEDs – it would fit the grimy theme better and would also have a bit more depth to it, which would stand out more with the 3D graphics.
