*Thinks for a while*.....What would I like in the next OW game? Probably more music. I dont have MO yet, but people have told me that there isnt as much music in it as the previous. I loved the music in the other games as it added to the overall feel of the game. If there is no music in a game, it makes it feel empty and cold.
I would also like more GameSpeak. Having a conversation with another creature sounds really kool and fun. I would also probably like to see some more creatures, like maybe some aquatic creatures (if they dont already have any [other than Munch]), it would be kool to interact with them with Munch while underwater.
The idea of time transitions sounds alright, in theory, but if they did include it, it probably wouldnt make the game any better. I would like to see some kind of transition though, but in a programmed manner, i.e. once you have finished a certain area, you go somewhere to rest, then wake up at night or something, then once you have done something at night like infiltrating a factory of some kind, you come out just to see the sun rise (which would probably look good on the Xbox). Basically what Im saying is, have time transitions, but make it so its still part of the story, not dependant on how long the player stays in a certain area.
I would also like to have more intelligent AI, i.e. smoking Sligs, conversing creatures etc. And creating shadows seems like fun to. When OWI first released information about MO, they had a bunch of Videos available for download, and I downloaded a couple of them. In one of them you see Abe running inside a factory. He climbs down a ladder and waits in some shadows, then a Slig climbs down another ladder, walks forward a little and lights up a smoke. Then Abe sneaks up behind him and throws him onto one of those Recycler things. The idea of sneaking around makes it worth while.
And from what Ive gathered, they should have better screen transitions. I liked it when we saw how Abe got to a certain part after finishing a level, like after the first part of Rupture Farms when he enters the stockyards. Or when he blows up Necrum Mines, get shot out of a hole and lands on an Elephant statue on his...........Mummy-Daddy button.
But these are just my opinions, they dont really count that much...
