2nd Abe HD screenshot -

Everyone lets stop talking about he masks. Let JAW do what they think is best. Me and loads of others think it should be the new version, as in the screenshot. Others think it should be the original one. Some think it should be both.

Most people don't care, and wish that those of you who do care had been aborted, which clearly would have happened had your parents known that you would become the sort of people to have an opinion on which fucking visor should be used for a video game character.

Now, I think it's time to discuss something that is very important. What are you, JAW, going to do with the sounds and music? For me and I think most, if not all, other people, the music and sounds was a massive part of the game. So, what's Abe HD gonna be like?

I'm doing an impression of all the sounds, but it's not appearing on the screen. Maybe it'll show up as an mp3 when I click 'Submit Reply'.

The entire soundtrack should be fart noises.

So, you're saying that everyone at JAW should have been aborted because they would've had an opinion on which fucking visor should be used for a video game character? :P

No, I'm saying that everyone who isn't actually creating it should sit down, and shut up because they are stupid.

Really, you're that childish? I'm having a conversation with OANST and you go and say that........

OANST, yes I get what you mean, I agree. However, I think that there's nothing wrong with having an opinion on something but, like you say I think, when people are having arguments over it and stuff, yes it is stupid.

Jordan · #**188** 09-27-2012, 03:30 AM

It's so stupid because it's such a small, irrelevant detail that won't exactly define the game. Seriously this is very similar to the whole green eyes discussion in the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

I can't wait to see gameplay footage of this, I just know I'll get upset at how I can't go to eurogamer

STM · #**189** 09-27-2012, 03:48 AM

I think the old visors looked better than the newer ones, but it's probably because that's what I'm used to. In the end whatever they go with suits me. Though having both would be pretty awesome.

Crashpunk · #**190** 09-27-2012, 05:39 AM

If it's meant to recreate Abe's Oddysee, well then even the minor details should be almost exact. Why? Because it makes the OCD fans happy!

Personally I don't mind because both look good.

...However!

I always thought that visor fitted Rupture Farms because it looked more aggressive, that and the Slig sprites had it as well. The two-eye visor looks too friendly.

I'm just going to go with my idea I made before and why not have both?

pupbenny · #**191** 09-27-2012, 06:12 AM

I wonder if any other enemies, like flying sligs, will be added somehow. Sure it's meant to be an AO remake but sitll, maybe as a bonus or just as an extra enemy or something.

AvengingGibbons · #**192** 09-27-2012, 06:29 AM

I agree with CrashPunk, saying that the old visors are scarier. The old visor makes the sligs seem more robotic, and thus, more merciless when they spot you. The 2 eyed visor somehow makes the sligs seem like theyre more clumbsy, and weaker. The old visors look demonic.

pupbenny · #**193** 09-27-2012, 07:11 AM

It does give them more emotion, I think is the right term. That also adds to the comedy aspect of Oddworld though.

Crashpunk · #**194** 09-27-2012, 08:29 AM

I would actually love to see Fleeches and Flying Sligs in Rupture Farms.

Varrok · #**195** 09-27-2012, 08:38 AM

I'd love to see Munch in Rupture Farms

And Lulu the Glockstar

STM · #**196** 09-27-2012, 08:47 AM

I want to see Steef in the stockyards. Steef Chops. Yum.

Is that an intentional pun on "Steve Jobs"? If so, well done.

Varrok · #**199** 09-27-2012, 09:07 AM

References are funny!

STM · #**200** 09-27-2012, 10:13 AM

Yes...reference...that's what I did. Yes.

The company teeter on the brink of extinction. Their projects go wrong. Hope fades. Then, 7 years after their last game they seem all set to make a triumphant return, rising from the ashes like a mighty phoenix, as very few games companies could manage, and what do poor OWI get from their fans? Picky complaints about a slight change in the Sligs' visor in a very early stage. Personally I'm just grateful Oddworld is still around!

I hate the masks. They should have three eyes.

Varrok · #**206** 09-27-2012, 03:10 PM

They might have three eyes under the visors

Great job with the game so far. From a development point of view, do you focus mainly on game play/functionality for the upcoming event and then add in the little details later down the track?

Also, a J.A.W forum would be wicked. Any news on that? :P

first post ever, whoot :V

How did you get that interpretation from his post? He's welcoming V_O_T to the forums and commenting on his avatar.

Speaking of which, Pupbenny: Please don't post welcome posts in threads about other topics. That's what we have the Welcomes & Birthdays subforum for.
