I FOR ONE WOULD LOVE TO PLAY IN A SNOW INVIORNMENT ON THE ORIGANAL 2D LAYOUT.
TE 2D THINGY IS A BIT MORE CARTOONY THAN THAT OF 3D AND I THINK THAT SNOW ON THAT KIND OF SETUP WOULD LOOK BEUTIFUL...BUT ALAS THE 2D IS NO MORE.

I for one like 2D games. I think OWI should do some more of them. If 2D games are less complex to make than 3D ones, they could fir more gameplay in!

Or they could do a '2.5' game... not quite 2D and not quite 3D. Think Klonoa or Tombi.

I'm also think that 2D Oddworld is better then the 3D one...
when OIW changed the graphics in MO they the whole concept and gameplay changed to (in my opinion to the worst).

I just want to see SligStorm being real
a nice 2d game of oddworld

2D was great and I think that when OWI went 3D, the environments just seemed kinda empty. Like, take AO and AE and the lush backgrounds. Each screen was hand crafted with background, foreground, gameplay area and all sorts of odd graphical clutter, like pipes and rocks and all the other props around. Now, the rooms are really open and empty looking. Sure, it looks great, but it lacks a bit of that old flare. But hey, come SO and I think things will get a lot better. ME will probably suck as much as MO. I'm sorry for saying that, but let's face it. MO was Mario 64 meets Oddworld. SO is the one I'm waiting for.

it would be funny if abe could do those 2D underwater things where you have bubbels and you just sink and have to walk on the ground like sonic..

I agree. I have to say that I generally thought of 3D as being an improvement in games, but AO and AE changed by mind that it was a necessary element. And MO strikes me as just a completely different animal. All the right characters are there, but it's just somehow not the same kind of game.

I wonder what OWI would think of these sentiments. I imagine that they would conclude that they are not held widely enough, but perhaps this runs deeper than anyone would have thought.

... I hope it would not be too much arcade...
Oddworld is cool because it's like real
