She's probaly saying in a way to confused us, becuase she might not be allowed to tell us what exacty she's want's to tell. She's probaly forced to tell us in a way that she is allowed.

Oh how I'd like to try and apply to work for EA now [to fulfil my current ambition of working in the gaming industry]. But EA Australia is based in Queensland, and with me being in Victoria it would mean I'd have to move. *sigh*

EA does have an office in Camberwell (in melb). I'm not sure what they do there specifically, probably just marketing stuff.

I guess OWI doesn't want to reveal their best cards first. Hmmm, the poker theme seems to go beyond the game.

and I know someone at OWI loves poker...
but I don't think it a smart move... perhaps in the future when we will see other screens we will be more able to judge with more justice

Of course Lorne isn't going to show us the juicy stuff he hasn't so far he won't now. That screenshot was probabaly out of early production. So its all good. Though for me I am not going to spoil Stranger for myself at all. I want to be completely surprised when this game comes. I vow to myself to this time forth to release I will not look at anymore screenshots of Stranger. I saw what I saw before and that was enough to impress me so cheers to Oddworld Stranger the forth and probabaly the best of the Oddworld games.

It's good to know Oddworld are taking their time with the game. It's restored more faith in me, concerning them, in that they aren't going to release it during the Christmas selling bonanza. Obviously, Oddworld Inhabitants have learnt from Munch's Oddysee, and are going to make Stranger a hit. As it should be.

Though, about the screenshot. It does seem weird that Oddworld Inhabitants would give EA screenshots of anything sub-par to what the actual game is. However, most games while in development look absolutely awful in the anti-aliasing department (all pixelated in other words), so perhaps what was shown was from the short demo OWI had to produce for EA. Either way, I doubt OWI will leave such a big thing like smoothness out of the Gold version.

Alcar...

A suprise is'nt always a good thing, you can have bad suprise's as well. And hopelfully there talking there time well,not taking a long time becuase something gone wrong. We also heard that there doing great, so that isnt a problem

I saw a pic of Lorne Laning working and all. I notice he has very long or thin finger's, not like Homer Simpson, more like E.T. Witch is good, that's means if you have long thin fingers, your artistic!

Intresting theory...
I have long nails what does that mean?

also I can't wait to see another shot of the upcoming game! I'm not afraid the game could be spoiled for me, I always want to see more!

I always get games spoilt for me anyway so i'm used to it.
Can we see more?

It means you hav'nt cut then for a while

Realy i don't know.

I also want to see some pritty and B.A.U.Tful graphics.

. Something like AE in 3D, and the next inportant thing is gameplay.

Killa_47 · #42 07-13-2004, 08:47 AM

Yeh Gameplay is one of the most important things.
Maybe you should put some new moves in for the character.

Oddish · #43 07-13-2004, 09:14 AM

This a brand new, very diffrent game from previos one's. So it will be a lot diffrent and new. It's not like a remake of MO, this is a fresh new game.

***Nate*** · #44 07-13-2004, 12:40 PM

Yes, thanks for pointing out the obvious Oddish

Killa, it looks to me that Stranger's moves will be one of the coolest in any game yet. They've set themselves up with a big task cos the little bits of the opening movie we've seen show Stranger running and jumping in a very smooth but cool way. And look at the gameplay pic, his jump pose is velly velly nice.
