Perhaps it's because I'm quite a big Oddworld fan, but I didn't really feel like there was anything that "in depth" about that talk, considering it was given at a gaming expo for hard core gamers.
Also, with regards to Matt speaking for them, he seems like such a nice guy but he was openly admitting he couldn't complete his company's games; I was doing 100% runthroughs of Oddysee when I was 10 at the latest. Hopefully it was just banter for the audience. If not, Ladies and Gentlemen; this is the man that's developing the next Oddworld game, someone who couldn't get out of Rupture Farms.
I really don't want to sound like a dick, I love what I've seen of Soulstorm so far, and I'm a keen follower of the ARG, but they have to understand what sort of image that puts forward of the company (for the fans at least). I know the average consumer doesn't care, but they were pushing so much about how they care what the fans think. Whilst I liked the sound of the unique individual playthroughs they were talking about for Soulstorm, I haven't felt this pessimistic since N'n'T's release, which isn't how I want to feel. If Matt ends up reading this I don't want him to think I'm just being a prick because I can be.
E: Also that other guy did a good job in the Q&A section. He knew his stuff.
