Lorne Lanning interviews on G4TechTV today

[UnforgivingEdges]

If you get G4TechTV, today's episode of Attack of the Show featured a lengthly, in-depth interview with Lorne Lanning about Oddworld Inhabitants.

I caught it live just now, but they replay the show at midnight tonight for anyone who missed it.

[Oddsville]

Yeah, I just turned on the tv and my jaw dropped. Im so glad to see Lorne getting out there and making himself noticed again and explaining things better. Btw, did you see the Oddworld commercial-ish thing before the interveiw. Im not sure if it'd actually be considered a commercial seince it was one of thoughts things that feature the logo of G4tv. Anyways, the only part I caught was a bunch of Sligs running by. Could this be part of Lornes new outreach to other media?

[sligco]

man i want 2 watch dat but i got school 2morow

[Dipstikk]

I can't watch it, because we don't get G-4. I don't think...
Didn't it used to be TechTV?

[Vykker Lady]

yeah i did use to be techtv...then it was g4techtv, but now its g4 O_o;

They've been doing those since the Oddworld episode of Icons.

[Nate]

Can someone who's seen it please give an outline of what was said? And for bonus points* write a transcript?

I'll be taping the midnight show on my computer so I won't have to stay awake all night. Thanks for the heads up UnforgivingEdges!

If you have the Movies of Oddworld DVD, all three G4 commercials are on there...leading me to believe that these aren't new Oddworld tv-spots.

Oh...and I saw the Oddworld episode of Icons the other day. Very touching.

[Xavier]

A transcript would be great indeed.

what's that icon program you are talking about?

I'm going to report the news when I'm home, thank you UnforgivingEdges

[Oddish]

That's great news UnforgivingEdges, but I don't the have the channel over here. You americans are lucky.

[General Dripikk]

Yeah, i don't have it either.*sniff*

[Abe16]

I don't have it, I wish I could've saw it.

[Drew the slig]

Great news! Thinks are looking up for the Quintology being continued in some form me thinks, seems like they aren't going away, just getting better

[MojoMan220]

It was a good interview, I'm feeling more confident about OWI's future. There was nothing all that new, basically just clarification. One thing I didn't know, was that they are creating an innovative game engine that can be used to create high-definition CG television shows, or something like that.

[Xavier]

I hope it won't be something like that awfull DonkeyKong show we had over here some years ago. I was an actor with motion detectors on him, and his moves were retranscribed on a virtual alter-ego, DonkeyKong.

I'm sure OWI has something much better, but I wonder how it will work.

[Oddish]

I don't know, but I was thinking something like Starwars:clone wars, or Samuria Jack, they got that good atmosphere. Ecept CG of course.

[Hunk of Steef]

Goof news. So did Lorne clarify the movie theory?

[UnforgivingEdges]

Goof news. So did Lorne clarify the movie theory?

He said something to the effect of:

"We haven't greenlighted anything yet, but we strongly pushing in that direction."

[panuru]

Damn, I don't get G4 either. My girlfriend does, but I wasn't aware in time. I'll try to catch it next time it reruns. According to the G4 website:

NEXT AIRING: 4/24/2005 12am ET / 9pm PT

Digital Filmmaking, Lorne Lanning, MAD*L Show
Episode #5064

Thanks for the heads up!

[Xavier]

"We haven't greenlighted anything yet, but we strongly pushing in that direction."

thus a movie is probably on his way? I realy hope it will feature Abe!

[Wil]

Excellent news : nobody will have to create a transcript, because G4 have done it all for us.

Woot, great article

I am getting really excided.

[odd chick]

Yeah, so am I. I was worried about all of the changes at first, but I can honestly say that after reading that article, I feel much better and more positive about the new direction that OWI are headed now.

[Facsimile]

Wow, that really clears things up and is reassuring.

The only thing I'm worried about now is the game quality decreasing because of the external production and, let's face it, games of movies aren't usually great.

[Nate]

But this isn't a game based on a movie; this is a movie that a game was based on. The fact that the game came out first is irrelevant.

Let’s look at what the game industry is doing: The game industry is headed towards human characters that look more realistic, wielding weapons

Does anyone else see the irony here?

[Facsimile]

... No.
Enlighten me.

[Xavier]

that's exactly Fangus' description...
