Cheats

[Gluk Schmuck]

Let's speculate on the MO cheats...

i hope there's a few bonus FMVs, like a trailor for ME/HoO and maybe a cute skit...
it'll be good if you could make all the sligs turn into milk bottles, that'd be funny...giant milk bottles shooting at you, lol!!!

*blinks at the milk bottle comment* Alright, put that sugar down NOW!

Seriously, though, I do think that the best sorts of cheats are the ones that do not help you win the game, but are just plain mindless fun (like the ones in Spyro 2 and 3 that change spyro's colour and make him go 2D like PaRappa the Rapper, and the fabulous cheat in WipEout 2097 that turns the Qirexes into snails and the Feisars into furry bumble bees!).
Turning the characters into something funny is always a winner. I'd like to see how a milk bottle would hold a gun, though...

And I think there should be some 'outtakes' at the end of the game, like in Toy Story 2 and A Bug's Life.

yeah, out-takes rule!!!

the milk bottle thing was actually realted to Sypro 3 where you can change your skateboard into a squid

yeah, in most games i do prefer the fun cheats to the help-in-the-game cheats

No, I don't like the out-takes. They just give something a flatness and destroy the 'magic'.

Funny cheats, or easter eggs (or rather a type of easter egg), are certainly the best type of 'cheat', but again it'll have to be careful not to destory the believability. Milt bottles would be...interesting.

Of course, the traditional 'skip to level xx' and 'view movie yy' are certainly necessary, if only the game has been completed. Say I wanted to see what object D looked like, but it was in the middle of the game, and I needed it for important reason GHF...that's my excuse for skipping levels anyway.

Cheat's aren't the way 2 finish a game, it might be easyer but it's not the way!!!

[Gluk Schmuck]

we know, that's why we said that...

Max: yeah, out-takes aren't always good...

i now, maybe there could be one that makes all the gameplay chars say different things...eg. "Hi, what's happenin' Abe" could be replaced with "Hi, you blue bastard"...that would be funny...


speaking of easter eggs:
if Alf's reading this can you please get Lorne to put an extra bit at the end of the end-credits because i haven't seen a film with that for ages

[FuzzyFuzzle]

I think that movie that they showed in L.A. should be unlockable if you like, beat everything and get max Quarma. That'd be kewl!

Yeah cheats are cool I got all the cheats to ao and ae and the spyro games.
I hope there is fun cheats in Mo cause there was not any in ao and ae

[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

Abe22, there was a fun cheat in AO. It made Abe do green farts like in AE. I can't remember what it was, though.
