Better Graphics

are the graphics going to improve much since the game is still going to be on XBOX? im sure that games nowadays can handle a lot, so it probably comes down to programming to determine the graphics.

Did you see X-Factor? Just from the prototype I could tell the graphics were better than MO. OWI is taking there time with OW4, which is good. We should be expecting a fantasmic game.......I hope. *gulp*

OWI themselves have said they were only able to use a fraction (a quarter rings a bell, but don't quote me on that) of the Xbox's graphical capabilities for MO because of time restraints, and that next game would be much better, graphically.

OWI also said that the next game is going to play on your surroundings. Such as using the Jungle and such to your advantage. Which in any case is going to require alot of the Xbox's graphical power.

Okay, so OW4 should be better.
But technicaly, it's only Odd3 since AO and AE were only one in the quintology.

And what about MO's bonus game? Will it be the same, or improved?

Who am I asking these questions to and who will answer them?

WHERE ARE MY PANTS!?!

Yes, but it's the forth OW game, so that's what everybody calls it.

I imagine it will be a new storyline and very much improved.

You ask those that have the knowledge, which I myself aren't completely qualified....I'm just bored. Xavier or Max probably have better explanations.

You aren't wearing pants?! Scary!

I doubt its going to be anything over the top thooper, but more like Resi Evil: Nemesis kinda shtuffs. Hopefully not though.

I hope there's more than two endings aswell, cos that really sodded me off last time.

And i hope it has replay value, like bonus FMV's if you do certain shtuffs or something like that...yeh

Remember that most of the first wave of games for xbox, Munch, Halo, etc. were ported from pc or playstation 2. So they never were able to use like some others have said the full power and potential of the system for the first time through. Im hoping Munch's exoddus gets made eventually, it would be a pity not to continue on his story before we get to Squeek.

I doubt that. It was either worded incorrectly, or you misinterpreted. The Quintology features five main games, each main game having it's own amount of bonus games which help to elaborate on the main game it's attached to.

There, a properly worded description for your liking
