How odd... (MO spoilers)

[Musume]

The following is an excerpt from an interview with Lorne Lanning. You can find it here.

Ivan Trembow: What role will Abe play in Munch's Oddysee?
Lorne Lanning: Abe basically kidnaps Munch in the beginning, so Munch really hates Abe
for first half of the experience.

IT: What will the relationship be between Munch and Abe?
LL: Completely dysfunctional... until they learn how to get along. Munch
winds up in a wheelchair for a good part of the story, and during that time
Abe just pushes him around to where Abe wants to go, without concern for
how Munch feels. So Munch really resents Abe and doesn't hesitate to let
him know it.


Is it me, or did this not happen in Munch's Oddysee?

I recall seeing Munch's leg bandaged up in a promotional picture or two, but as the game played, Munch never had so much as a bandaid. Also, while wheelchairs were available for quite a bit of the game, Munch was never really confined to one. Abe certainly didn't push him around, either.

I didn't sense any amount of antagonism between Munch or Abe. Heck, in the gamespeak they're pretty polite and/or concerned to/for each other. Abe calls Munch his buddy, cautions him not to get killed or blown up, etc. Munch says hello to Abe, suggests that they get going, and so on. I'll admit, in the good ending Munch could've been a bit nicer to Abe, but he wasn't in the least bit resentful or malicious towards him.

As for Abe kidnapping Munch... *snort* Right.

What do you guys think? Do you know why the game was changed from this? And didn't Mr. Lanning also mention that the queens would be introduced? The only mention of the Glukkon queen was made in the newspaper, and no pictures of her that I could remember were shown. What a gyp.

Oddworld changed the storyline around alot, what about Sam, she was meant to be in it, but times change and Sam wasn't included

[Musume]

Aw...! I really wanted to see Sam. It would've been interesting to see what she looks like. Bummer. It would've been cool to see Shrink, too. With luck the next game, either Munch's Exoddus or Squeek's (?) Oddysee will have both of 'em.

I've poked around this board for a bit, but I haven't seen anyone mention anything about drones -- apart from myself, of course. Mudokons are a 'super species' like bees, whose workers also double as soldiers. So, where are the males? XD

[Xavier]

yeah... and rupture farms ruins aren't there too...

a lot has been removed !

all do the fact that MO was a release game and on a tight deadline being it was being done on PS2 and then switched to XBox. they also mention Margret on the last movie when the Vykeers speak to her on the phone. if u wud like to see the shrink, get aall the mudokens saved in AO and it will give u a list of the movies. go to the last one and ull see the shrink talk to abe

[Musume]

Oooooo... Thanks.

Do you have to save all of the Mudokons, or will using a cheat code to show the movies work? I've got AO, but my computer doesn't seem to like it. Meh.

[moy85]

is this for the pc? and the last movie is credits and i think bad or good ending so which is it ending or credits?

[Shrykullmaster]

well, im not sure if a cheat code will work(cheater!), plus i dont play the PC version, anyway its at the bottom of the movie select screen once u get it. its called guardian angel an i think it was an ad for AE, at the end, it says Gaming Gets ODD! Sept. 1998

[Xavier]

the shrink video isn't on the AO on PC version, only on PS

[•[cyrus]•]

Shrink isn't in AO.
The good ending has bigface come and a lightning bolt hyits RF. The bad ending has abe drop into a meat thinga majig.

Is it the blck ending or something......
