Where is Shrink? -

***Cloverfield*** · #31 09-19-2002, 05:09 AM

Over here (in Australia) Abe's Oddysee was re-released twice for the PS version ... it was released in the PlayStation Platinum range (where they re-release some of the popular older games at a lower price) and recently in a similar range by Infogrames (I'm not sure what the range was called).

As far as I'm aware, Abe's Exoddus has not been re-released for the PS. However both games were re-released for the PC under a "PC Platinum" range. But this was a few years ago and they are again hard to find.

I don't think the games need to be re-made (as opposed to re-released), as the graphics (especially the FMVs and backgrounds) are wonderful and are great quality compared to other PS games. You need to not compare them with the current generation consoles like the Xbox and PS2 as graphics are now changed.

Abe Babe...

If anything, I would imagine the shrink would be severely depressed, and slightly masochistic. I mean, a machine that is self aware is automatically proned to boredom, sadness, and anger.

I'm sure that a machine/robot that was devoted to making one thing happy and stable, all the time, would eventually become quite resentful of that creature, or even worse, it's species.

It also wouldn't surprise me, if that by the time we meet the shrink, he's gone insane. His shelf life isn't exactly short, you know.

I actually would like it alot of he was insane when we meet him...it would really get that dark, gritty feel back to the game. A nice touch, since MO was so childish, and 'bright' feel.

Xavier, I hope you reply to this, as you always have such interesting ideas and theories.

(don't forget there are many shrinks)
Disgruntled Intern, I like that idea very much
a little "speach" with an insane shrink could be very creepy, like he dunno what he tels, he becaume angry then sad, he can't control himself anymore...
pretty scary.

Exactly!

It would be neat to see his mood changes, and possibly take care of any 'interruptions'....

He/she/it should be self delusional, at best.

I wonder if the shrinks are capable of comitting suicide?

***Xavier*** · #40 10-02-2002, 04:22 AM

well I think they can't.. cause they will have done it long time ago, those guys are all the time depressed.

I want to see something like that, that was realy a good idea!
