Question What OW4 really needs!

What do you want OWI to include in OW4 to make it the best title in the series. I'm not talking about story or gameplay. That's not our job. I'm talking about what options, features, extras and stuff.

A few things I want:

* Backstory of AO , AE , and MO
* Possible to save anywhere (like quicksave)
* Option to toggle under-titelling (for the non US or UK residents )
*...


This is not my full list, I'm interested to see what you guys come up with.

You can save anywhere in MO, so I'm assuming the same will be true in OW4. As for a backstory, I'm not sure it's worth it unless parts of previous games actually affect what's happening in this story. If they do have a backstory, hopefully it'll be like the one in AE and not the one in MO.

However, if it were to have subtitles, it certainly would get a higher score on deafgamers.com, plus it would be easier to transcribe! A view all movies option should be there, too, but not so you can see movies you haven't reached in the game, and also whatever 'quarma' (if that is involved with the new game) ending you end up with, you should be able to start the game again you can end up with ALL the movies on the same save file.

And I expect to see all the OWI dressed up as hunters for the credits.

EDIT: I don't see a point in subtitling for non UK and US residents, since the games are actually translated (I believe).

Like Max i think if they do have a backstory, which i think they will, then it should be like AO's. Or like show Steef been briefed on Abe and Munch and basically showing clips from the game as the briefer peep speaks.

From what i can recall Bounty Hunters don't work for the law, do they? The guys who were after that Max Factor (i think it was Max Factor) heir person were arrested for kidnapping by the Mexican authorities, meaning Bounty Hunting is illegal. So wouldn't that mean Steef is working for his own interest.

Pausable FMV's would be good, and the ability to fast forward them and skip them.

Special FMV's that show random occurances (like on the 'Spiderman' game were you can unlock Vultures & Shockers FMV and such).

A cheat that will unlock all FMV's and such, so if you can't be bothered to complete it a second/third time then you can just type the cheat in and see the rest of the FMV's.

Multiple ways to achieve an objective...

Nice. Forgot about that. I hope they dress up like,... whatever again.

Errr. Your wrong. In some countries they are, but here in Belgium they aren't. Lorne Lanning's voices are allways terrific, but not allways easy to understand, especially when English isn't your native language.

Backstory has indeed to be done in a decent way.

Fully controlable FMV's: Great Idea!
Extra FMV's, not story related: like the idea
Cheat: Personnaly, I hope they don't include it. I want to unlock em myself (I know what you are gonna say: "Then don't use the cheat!", but I'm afraid I'm not gonna be able to resist.)


Something that would make me super happy: a previously released game included (especially AO or AE)
