I think the battle noises in those videos rival Halo! Those outlaws really scream when they're hit!

Wey-hey, fabulous find, Xavier! If you're interested in downloading the videos from the site (which are all .movs, so woobles for everyone), here are links to them:

Stingbees in Action High
Stingbees in Action Low
Odd Weapons Really Hurt High
Odd Weapons Really Hurt Low
The Stranger in the Wilds High
The Stranger in the Wilds Low

The screenshots are great, the game really does look fantastic, graphically, and the sheer variety of things in the game just thrills me. Farmer Beeks Opple Farm, hehehe.

I found a hidden rock art on the site (see attach)
it is in the left menu bar, at the top, hidden by the "pre-order" picture
what do you think it is?

I see a centaur-form-stranger with horns in the above shape
but I can't see what's in the under shape

I think it's Stranger in his regular form. They're circles each other as in a vortex, perhaps indicating some kind of cycle.

yeah could be... the vortex thing sounds very possible
but it doesn't look specifically like Stranger, the horns are too big to be from the regular stranger, don't you think? plus the legs and arms doesn't fit as well as they did for the centaur

well, I do not agree, the under shape doesn't look like stranger, I think it's from some kind of unseen creature

It has 2 legs, arms, eyes. A funny hat, hey it looks like one my creature I invented, no kidding. I beleive it's Stranger, or mabey that Ocgiti, it has the same head.

Good find Xavier.

*is thoughful*

The botton one looks like some sort of spirit to me.

Could represent the doubt Stranger feels about who he is, that little voice that always says 'no, don't show that feeling, don't express that thought, you'll be normal if you don't', feelings that you don't matter to the world, the nagging that if you weren't there, nobody would really mind.

And then Stranger's true form on the top to show that, if you are yourself, nothing can stop you unless you let it.

Then again, it could just be some sort of bad-guy. :P

Incognito, the upper shape is clearly Stranger's Centaur form
but the under one, well I suppose it may be a spirit, but I'm not sure about it

Wow, Oddworld Inhabitants and Electronic Arts have outdone themselves with the new promotional site. It looks great, and I can't wait for the Characters section to light up, and be able to look inside it. Although I was expecting a Flash movie for Stranger's Wrath, like the Munch's Oddysee promotional site.

Yeah I can't wait for the characters section
I wonder if the official site will do some updates with the characters of Stranger in their universe section
like they did for MO

I'm glad its not a flash site, I really don't like them... Currently, it's simply brilliant. I love the way they made use of the really cool 'pause menu' style graphics, with the headers and stuff.

I've been wondering about that as well. Though the structure of the game is different to the past three Oddworld games. Where as in the past, there were clealy defined Native, Industrial and Wildlife creatures / characters / location / vehicles, it is somewhat different now.

There are still Natives, but can you class the outlaws as industrialists? Or do they go into the Native bunch? Perhaps a new system is being developed.
