Would a grid system even really work right? I know the puzzles are originally designed around this system. If OWI are going to move forward with sidescrolling Abe they need to completely redesign how Abe moves with his envrionment and the type of puzzles you see in this new system.
But if they try and add the grid system will it not make Abe feel more stiff and awkward? If you're playing a sidescrolling platformer I imagine a lot of players will get frustrated with this limited movement - even though the originals were designed around it.
Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not sure.
Tone wise - eh, I don't see why Oddworld shouldn't have silly humour balance out it's serious themes. it stops the thing from being preachy - and it fits since we're dealing with exaggerated concepts and caricatures. Both AE and SW have a nice blend of humour and drama.
Also, I like how vlam is some sort of militant suggestion supervisor. Remember, OWI! Only consider suggestions with that vlam seal of approval!
