I wouldn't say they love heights - more have a subconscious drive towards them.

this is from the Xbox.com article

:

The Vykkers come from species that once lived in trees; they still have a tendency to try to live in the air.

PA, can wee see some new stuf from the mag?

paramiteabe · #**122** 03-07-2004, 10:34 AM

Sure like what? Ill give some pictures. They show parts of the studio and a neat picture all kinds of Oddworld merchandise which I find cool. I want work there so badly! They even have a pool table and I love pool!

Check it out!

***Wil*** · #**123** 03-07-2004, 10:36 AM

That's the article I had in mind. I still don't think Vykkers are going to be entirely devoted to living out their lives in the air, though. I wouldn't think it's as much of an issue as the Glukkons living in the dark. But maybe I'm wrong.

Oddys, who watched the JIMtv show the 'sub' appeared on called it a submarine, though.

paramiteabe · #**124** 03-07-2004, 10:37 AM

And here is the pool table. Damm I wish I was working there! Sorry my scanner is down at the moment its the best I can do with pictures at the moment.

***Xavier*** · #**125** 03-07-2004, 10:44 AM

EDIT: In pic 4 you can actually see a poster of Clint Eastwood next to someone's computer. Lorne said Stranger was part Clint...hehe.

***Wil*** · #**129** 03-09-2004, 06:54 AM

Hey, check it out, they've got my map on the wall in picture 2, along with two posters I can't readily identify as anything. Hahaha, FF fans are gonna love what Lorne says in picture 3.

Good work, oddguy.

Fez · #**130** 03-09-2004, 10:04 AM

good pics Oddguy. Kudos mate.

Scrubs · #**131** 03-09-2004, 10:54 AM

Okay FF7 might not of had a hollywood acting, but it was a great game when it came out.
It's still one of my favourite games of all time, i hope the movie is good.

***Xavier*** · #**132** 03-09-2004, 11:39 AM

wow gotta make a news about those pics on oddblog!
great oddguy!

Mac the Janitor · #**133** 03-10-2004, 05:35 AM

Wow, this is all very cool.

I haven't had time to look through all your pics Oddguy, but I will when I get home.

Great job, guys. Very cool.

Esus · #**134** 03-10-2004, 08:05 AM

Picture 2, behind Lornes head. Appear to be a salamander shot from a cg movie. Probably from the opening one.

***Xavier*** · #**135** 03-10-2004, 08:44 AM

jup, looks like this picture:

Sekto Springs · #**136** 03-10-2004, 09:15 AM

Cool background. There's not very much colour but it's cool none the less.

***Xavier*** · #**137** 03-10-2004, 11:14 AM

that river looks enigmatic...
I wonder if we will be able to go on it with the ship

oddguy · #**138** 03-10-2004, 12:15 PM

Hey, Xav. Would you mind merging "Get the Oddworld Issue of Polygon while you still can" and "Polygon...The Oddworld Issue" together? I'm getting criticized for making too many Polygon threads!

MojoMan220 · #**139** 03-10-2004, 04:37 PM

My God! I've missed out on a ton of new info. Great pictures, I have never seen any of those. I have one question... Is Stranger the name of the game, or is it what the steef is called? I'm so glad the salimanders have been updated to look more natural and less plastic.

oddguy · #**140** 03-10-2004, 04:58 PM

Could be both, but we don't know for sure what the game is titled. Stranger is the main character's name, we know that for sure.

Sekto Springs · #**141** 03-10-2004, 05:00 PM

The games section of OWI says that's what the title is, so I'm guessing it's the real title.

oddguy · #**142** 03-10-2004, 05:06 PM

It's hasn't been Officially announced though, so OWI could change it or spice it up later on.

Sekto Springs · #**143** 03-10-2004, 05:13 PM

Yeah like The Lone Stranger or something.

Dipstikk · #**144** 03-10-2004, 05:53 PM

Aw, man. I can't wait to get me grubby hands on a full-body shot of Stranger. SO I CAN DRAWS HIM!!!
Isn't there one in the Xbox special?

***Wil*** · #**145** 03-11-2004, 09:36 AM

:

I thought the Steef doesn't have a name: that's why he's merely called Stranger. Just like just about every Clint film, although to be honest the only one I remember is the one about Preacher.

And consider the conjoining done.

***Xavier*** · #**146** 03-11-2004, 11:09 AM

wow, I swear I didn't dubble posted...
and it's true we don't know the Steef's name, and we don't know the game's name neither

I've seen alot of full-bodied shots of him, they're just not very big.

Ah, I see. Sorry for misleading you folks out there!

....poor Polygon ...and thank you Polygon

Polygon ends brief honeymoon

---------------------------------------->
Launched in May of 2003, timed with the E3 Expo trade show, game magazine Polygon was shuttered yesterday by its owner, Deviation, LLP. Sources tell GameSpot the closure was based on insufficient ad revenues.

With only nine issues under its belt, the magazine was a rare combination of news, reviews, and thoughtful features. The last cover story took an inside look at Lorne Lanning and the creative crew at Lanning's dev studio, Oddworld Inhabitants.

The Polygon approach was deliberate and thoughtful--and its graphics rivaled many a top-tier magazine. Not surprisingly, such pedigree comes at a cost, one Diviation was unable to bear any longer.
Sources tell GameSpot that while Deviation considers how to use the Polygon name, subscriber list, and fixed resources, all staffers remain on payroll and at the ready.

oddguy · #**150** 03-17-2004, 04:30 PM

Good find...although, Oddworld Universe and OddBlog allready reported it.
