Oddworld: SoulStorm -

Nepsotic · #**361** 03-17-2016, 02:08 AM

That would definitely be the wrong green.

SligValet · #**362** 03-17-2016, 04:32 AM

@JimSterling we were thinking more along the lines of a Slig. Lemme check the contract.

Get your questions ready, Lorne is going to do some Q&A.

Scrabaniac · #**364** 03-17-2016, 05:24 AM

I wish they would state a time they are doing this

Only question I have is when are we going to see gameplay of the game. I'd guess at E3 but not entirely sure.

Chest scar on its way.

Looks like we'll be able to reveal Abe's chest scar today at 20k - thanks for your support so far, it's humbling! pic.twitter.com/PuOEkinz1z

They gotta get 6k Followers today to reach that 20k goal.

Alf Shall Rise · #**368** 03-17-2016, 05:59 AM

Maybe they're just aiming for in the ballpark.

Manco · #**369** 03-17-2016, 06:34 AM

600, not 6000 – they’re on 19.4k. For reference, their follower count was just above 15k when SoulStorm was announced.

I notice they deleted the tweet quoting 20k though, maybe they don’t want to be too specific.

e: I am the numbers champion hahahahah vvv

Sorry. I failed maths as a student. You can see why.

Listening to it and I can safely say you can skip to 9:50 without missing anything Oddworld related...

EDIT: ...and they changed subject at 11:20. Nothing interesting in there folks.

RuptureFarms1029 · #**373** 03-17-2016, 07:58 AM

"Leading the news this week is the announcement that your old pal Jim will be voicing a character in the newly announced Oddworld: Soulstorm!"

OWI please don't do that.

***Xavier*** · #**374** 03-17-2016, 08:11 AM

From what I heard I guess he's going to ba a Slig...

Vlam · #**375** 03-17-2016, 08:13 AM

Who is Jim Sterling? I mean: has he something special?

Havoc · #**376** 03-17-2016, 08:17 AM

Some YouTube dude.

Crashpunk · #**377** 03-17-2016, 08:32 AM

Jim's a gaming critic. He runs a weekly show called The Jimquisition where he talks about recent events and issues within the gaming industry.

He's known for making people aware of shitty Steam Greenlight games and how Konami are one of the worst companies in the industry. He's a very love/hate kinda guy. Kinda like an extreme version of Totalbiscuit. I like him by the way.

And of course, He's a fan of Oddworld. He put New 'N' Tasty in his list of top games of 2014.

Nepsotic · #**378** 03-17-2016, 09:13 AM

He's a fat, intellectually dishonest slob who generally doesn't like to stray from the popular opinion. Also, he has a pretty horrendous voice, so it's really sad how OWI are going to make their game seem more dated by casting him.

I wouldn't say he's known for telling people how Konami are one of the worst companies out there, pretty much everybody has done that.

Scrabaniac · #**379** 03-17-2016, 09:14 AM

Lorne is live at Twitch if anyone is interested.

Nepsotic · #**380** 03-17-2016, 09:20 AM

So apparently SoulStorm is going to use Unity again. fuck sake

Holy Sock · #**381** 03-17-2016, 09:28 AM

They spent so long trying to get the game to work on Unity that it only makes sense (if this is the case I didn't hear him say it).

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if SoulStorm was pretty similar to NnT in terms of gameplay. There's room to improve and finesse. To create puzzles that are a better fit to the sidescrolling model.

What are the problems with Unity, btw? Performance, loading times, amount of graphical detail? Is it too limiting? I actually don't know.

Scrabaniac · #**382** 03-17-2016, 09:33 AM

Lorne will be on Periscope soon, so i will ask some questions there.

All of those, you guessed correctly.

Scrabaniac · #**384** 03-17-2016, 09:35 AM

and Ragdoll

Vlam · #**385** 03-17-2016, 09:38 AM

Thank you for Sterling. What did we learn from the twitch thing (except Unity)?

Scrabaniac · #**386** 03-17-2016, 09:43 AM

Absolutely Nothing

Manco · #**387** 03-17-2016, 09:54 AM

playing my tiny violin for everyone crying about a game engine, hope y'all can hear

Nepsotic · #**388** 03-17-2016, 09:56 AM

I knew Manco never cared about Oddworld.

Samtastic · #**389** 03-17-2016, 10:06 AM

I think we might hear more about SoulStorm at E3.

Probably. That's the best time for it.
