New Stranger In-Game Screenshots

New In-Game Screenshots (4th September 2004)
GameSpot's coverage of Oddworld Stranger has been extended with five brand new screenshots of in-game footage. While the region of gameplay the screenshots capture are not new, certain elements, such as the first look of the 'bounty can' in action have never been seen before. Similarly, IGN's coverage has also been updated, but this time, with only one new screen.

GameSpot was obviously present at the Game Stars Live event. They have managed to upload five new screenshots. We've seen the area before, but we have got a first shot of what "scooping up" enemies with the bounty can looks like.

IGN has also been updated with screenshots, but the images are just copies of the previous images they took on the 18th of August 2004. Rather cheap if you ask me

Wow Peter your all over these updates today. Im still waiting to my comp to upload the images (running slow today..she's sick*pats computer*) ,but Im sure they'll give us a decent discussion.

Ooh, interesting!

One thing though, what does the writing on the round building thingy say in the top right corner of shot 2? The last word looks almost like "turnips"... not quite though. I don't get it!

Wow. I need to get off my arse and and find some news to attract people to Oddworld-Web.

well found Alcar!
but what's new over at IGN? sorry I can't see it

I'm going to report it on OddBlog right now

Alpha · #6 09-04-2004, 06:07 AM

sweet nice find peter then again you are the odduniverse curater.

Oddish · #7 09-04-2004, 06:53 AM

Nice shots, but they don't seem as big as the first 3 screenshots.

Ok let me geuss, the screenshot with a boombat and a "light". The "light has to be the wasps fireing. And also the boombat has some sort of upgrade. The other screen shock is one with the vaccuim sucking the enimie.

This health bar seems to stay the same, or is that not a healthbar? I love the ammo makeing faces, i can tell. Fuzzle looks like it had a electric shock.

The town i looks realy non-oddworldly, i mean if you look at the doors.

Alpha · #8 09-04-2004, 06:56 AM

i like the screens but im still hoping that its a free roam game where you can do what you like then do the main story if you want

Software Bug · #9 09-04-2004, 07:35 AM

cool screen but... just like alpha said : im still hoping that its a free roam game where you can do what you like then do the main story if you want

***Xavier*** · #10 09-04-2004, 07:54 AM

the only thing I feel bad about is that it's allways the same environement, I hope the game will offer way more diversity...
on the orher side I still want a surprise when I play the game, so it's okay if they don't want to release "spoilers" now

Mac the Janitor · #11 09-04-2004, 08:53 AM

Wow, these are really really great. Nice find Peter.

The graphics seem a lot better than the previous two screens; especially the Stranger model.

Al the Vykker · #12 09-04-2004, 10:53 PM

Excellent find! Its great to see even more media coming out.

I think it actually says "Fats Fuggler", though I can't read the more cursive writing.

Just in case anyone wants them, Etoychest has provided us with the exact same screenshots, minus the ugly watermarks:

Oddish · #16 09-08-2004, 08:19 AM

I love the first image. Why dose the first image looks better than the rest?

***Xavier*** · #17 09-08-2004, 08:27 AM

because it isn't from the same screenshot pack...
simply look at the names of the pics, the first one is totally different

Oddish · #18 09-08-2004, 08:43 AM

Wich pack are we going to end up with? I guessing the lastest ones. Whats the point, i mean we'll feel a little little tiny bit dissapointed. Pointless I tells you.

***Xavier*** · #19 09-08-2004, 09:15 AM

sorry I don't get your point... you mean what will be the closest to the real game?
I think they both are even close.

anayway the new screens are also on 1up.com, but with an awfull logo on them

Oddish · #20 09-08-2004, 09:26 AM

I just don't know why there are 2 diffrent types of screenshots.

abe333 · #21 09-08-2004, 12:18 PM

An oddworld fps western, wtf. Dead man's hand.

Oddish · #22 09-08-2004, 12:29 PM

Where have you been,abe333? It not all FPS, it has third person aswell. OWI will never do a FPS. It looks western becuase of the town,and people.

Waddya mean? the resolution, colour, angle, design? What twisted yer noggin so bad? Not getting what you're getting at, get me?

Hmmm, snip off my left nut if I'm peeing on the floor here, but you play a bounty hunter/gunslinger, you wear a poncho and a stetsony hat, you move between dusty towns that look like they were lifted from "Once Upon a Time in the West", to a Ennio Morricone style score whilst hunting outlaws. And you talk like Clint Eastwood with a throat problem....and this ISN'T supposed to feel like a western? Ok, so its set in Oddworldlanduniverse, but surely thats what the designers were aiming for, no? no? ok, I guess not, my bad

***Xavier*** · #25 09-09-2004, 07:10 AM

don't dubble post

Oddish · #26 09-09-2004, 10:05 AM

I was wrong The Gungrave. It's alot of western than I realised, It's just obvouse. The whole games is a western...

The images seem to be diffrent from each other as in graphics.The crossbow looks must real then in some screenshots.

***Xavier*** · #27 09-09-2004, 10:14 AM

not the whole game will have the Western touch...
a part will be and then there will probably be a plot twist and change of atmosphere...

Esus · #28 09-09-2004, 10:18 AM

According to somewhere or other, the game only begins in the "West". We then trot off to the snowy Alps of Mudos, then some grassy forests and suchlike.

Alpha · #29 09-09-2004, 10:21 AM

snowy alps i can imagine this being some kind of movie then again oddihabs have always made games like abe a tad bit gory

Esus · #30 09-09-2004, 10:27 AM

I disagree. Gore is blood. When mudokons are shot, they just wither. Same with sligs. Sometimes things explode but all you see are flying random chunks of the body - no specific forms and the only blood you see is a few frames of redness on the chunks of body.

In the cutscenes, we've seen fire envelope glukkons, and them being struck by lightning and losing a suit - no gore here. Abe has hit his head, been knocked out and 'killed' and been sliced into loads of pieces, but this fits the decription on the body chunks above.

No real gore has featured in any Oddworld game. When units on the screen die, they do not bleed.
