Does anyone think that the preview videos for Munch's are footage from, perhaps, ME?

[sodd]

I played Munch the other day, almost beating it..
And many of the videos that we saw early in MO's conceptual stage weren't there!

The Mudokons banging on the drums in the forest, the Mudokons running through the woods and riding on Elums... And I think there were probably many more than that that I can't remember...

They were good qual videos, and I don't see why they'd make them if they weren't to appear in game... Anyone think they might have been working on ME simutaniously? or perhaps Hand of Odd?

[Tree]

yes, I think they're in ME, but not sure about hand of odd. I had the same thought and then found out that ME was coming out. I wanted to see shrink, Queen Sam, and the others and they weren't in Mo.

[Disgruntled Intern]

or MAYBE..just MAYBE...you were seeing some of the original ps2 footage that didn't make it on to the xbox version due to the deadline...
i dunno how much of the ps2 version of MO will make it into the xbox's version, but we'll see.

[sodd]

Yeh

but I mean, once you render 3d and save as a video format,

it is so damn easy to convert to AVI and then convert to DVD..
I could do it, if I had a DVD writer...
SO perhaps it is ME.

[Disgruntled Intern]

ugh.
if it's sooooo easy why aren't you re-writing ps2 games for the xbox and selling them?
you could easily make back the money it would cost to buy a rewriter...
my point it is
it's not THAT easy...

Disgruntled Intern, its very easy, I work at a game company, so I know this to be true. After rendering the images to video, it take seconds to convert it so you can see it in the game. Maybe the animation got cut because the levels that went along with them are gone. SO maybe the story wasn't there to go along with the animations. Hopefully there still around for the next game, cause I thought they were very cool. My point is that they got cut for a reason, good or bad...TIME and PS2 to Xbox conversion wasn't it.......notice Elum is not in the game, so why have animations featuring him...???

[Disgruntled Intern]

so yes..oddworld i'm sure lied about the deadline being too soon to squeeze everything in.
another thing, they made several 'game play' videos to demonstrate the way the camera would work, the way the characters would move ect. the elums were prolly just an example of the game...and brew master, i'd prefer that you didn't try to talk down to me in the future..

The Topic of this thread was the "pre-rendered" movies, not the "low-poly gameplay" movies (which both are gone)so Elum appeared in the pre-rendered cg movie they had on their site, not low-poly.
Disgruntled Intern I apologize if my post sounded like it was talking down to you, i did not want it to sound mean......but I thought this sounds mean....

ugh.

I wonder how "Sodd" feels...

[paramiteabe]

That movie had to have been in Munch's Oddyssy before the switch maybe even after the switch for just a little bit. Who knows but I for one believe that we will see those movies in Munch's Exoddus. It will make complete sense. I thought Lanning did not start makeing Hand of Odd yet. A while back somebody told me that Lanning scraped the Hand Of Odd and wanted to finish Munch? If that is true I don't really think that movie with the Muds riding through the forest is part of Hand of Odd. Because there wouldn't be any footage of Hand of Odd if he scraped the idea.

No you can't really..

Ask a blind man to imagine a color, and do you think he'd be able to?

We all react differently to different insults..

You turned me on there.. if you want to come over with a whip and some handcufs, I've got the nipple clamps..

Just so you know I'm just jokin about...

I don't give a crap bout your pathetic put down-type message there is much more to life than game forums.

[Xavier]

Alf said it!
It's from Hand Of Odd!

[Oddchick Lisa]

LOL, Is that really in the bible??????

[sodd]
