***Xavier*** · #3 12-15-2004, 09:43 AM

yeah the little thing in the middle is Stranger's Centaur form...

I doubt you'll have to fight Grubbs... I think you rather help them

Great find Xav.

I can tell those are very early sreenshots, and the Stranger centaur form looks good.

Thesse are very new screenshots. The new model of the zappfly and the upgraded stingbee is in it. As are new UI graphics for collecting money of the floor. And we see what appears to be an upgraded crossbow.
We saw the boat (just) in the one of the videos, along with the snowy dday scene.
Btw, that no clothers is Stranger in centaur form.

***Xavier*** · #7 12-15-2004, 11:31 AM

Yeah I know Esus, the centaur form has no clothes, but when I first saw the picture (stranger without clothes) I didn't knew he was a centaur... I just wondered where his clothes were

Great find, Xavier, these screenshots are fantastic. The environment with the boat in it looks so mystic and mysterious, I can't wait for a better view. It'll probably turn out to be a sewer. The D-Day--style beach looks nice, particularly the buildings on the hill. With any luck there'll be some nifty snow physics, such as melted patches when Boombats explode.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is D. Caste Raider's famous spiked mallet. Now we just have to see his Slegs.

Nice find Xavier, you seem to have a knack for finding foreign sites with Stranger information. I like the screenshots, but that Snow region looks a little underpar in terms of graphics, compared to what we've seen before. The houses look blurred, or something similar.

Oddish, is that what you meant by knowing they were early screenshots? In that, the quality wasn't as good as we've seen previously?

Alcar...

***Xavier*** · #10 12-16-2004, 08:22 AM

well actually Lorne did a press conference in Paris a few days ago
so plenty of french sites have features about oddworld now

You can tell if you just look at the health bar.

Is grubs the official name for the natives? Do we have an official name for those other native type creatures? The round flabby ones.

Loving the centaur form.

:

wow, Wolvarks in GamePlay

So those are wolvarks, cool.

***Wil*** · #13 12-17-2004, 08:19 AM

The salamanders can now be called Grubbs, yes. The only name we have for the other natives is Scuba Toads.

Oddish · #14 12-17-2004, 09:53 AM

I don't think the name "Grubbs" is a good species name.

***Xavier*** · #15 12-17-2004, 11:11 AM

I think it is...
the name does fit the species well!

can't wait to see them move in GamePlay

Esus · #16 12-17-2004, 11:37 AM

I think it fits perfectly. I've been wondering for more than a while what they would call them that could fit, and I'm glad they won't just remain as 'natives'.

Teal · #17 12-17-2004, 02:48 PM

...is it just me, or does that spindly little centaur body look WAAAY to puny to support that massive upper body? Like it'd break its legs if it were to run...? ;)

sligster · #18 12-17-2004, 04:46 PM

o, no!

this should be interesting...

OMG!
this looks like something out of Halo!

Software Bug · #19 12-17-2004, 11:18 PM

wel... halo...
maby that monster will fit in mechasault

i dont like the metal freaked monsters in the game...

it would be better if OWI made some realy big form thats realy hard to beat and where you have 1 hour fun of

***Alcar*** · #20 12-18-2004, 02:31 AM

Most of the images I come across, including these, all show a more first person action orientation, and not the stealthy third person adventure I'd prefer. But I can understand why, firing weapons must be so much more interesting

And what is the deal with the word 'zoom'? Is that French for 'preview'? Or is it some catchy word that has become synonymous with preview?

Alcar...

***Xavier*** · #21 12-18-2004, 03:27 AM

Zoom is the French way to say Preview...
actually they take a very close look to the game, so they call it a Zoom
