Dude thats a tree not a pole there is a root going into it at the bottom. Besides there is some sort of bark like texture like a smooth Berch type of texture to it. It has to be a small tree. and there is branches comming out of it if you look closely at the top and on the side.

First of all, it doesn't look anything like a tree to me, it doesn't match with the surrounding trees in the least, it's pattern is perfectly shaped, the two triangles on the side are obviously tied on, and the branches are from the tree behind it. I don't think it's a tree, maybe if it were brown than it would match the others, but it's not.

That's because it's a QuickTime movie, you'll have to download it.

WOW! Thanks! I really stumbled upon it. I love watching trailers to animation festivals, because I know I have no chance of seeing them, and when I saw that clip it instantly clicked that it was Oddworld, because thier style is so unique. So glad everyone liked it. *Smiles*

Is it just me or does that butterfly thing look like a salamander flipper/tail? I can't think why it would be attached to a pole but look at the similarity in this pic

Sort of, but the tale has multiple joints and fins, as the thing on the pole is just a triangle.

Maybe a little, but the fins aren't triangular, they are more fan-like. Plus the pattern is not the same.

The movie doesn't work (of course) because I don't have Quick Time, but can anyone tell me if the new game (Stranger) has anything to do with abe or munch?

nothing to do with Abe nor Munch, it's simply still on Oddworld

I'm still wondering about the speed. You think I could ask Abe Babe if that's the speed it was in the movie she saw? I mean, it won't reveal anything about the game against the contract, I'll just be asking her about something we've already seen.

I think it was speeded up, coz of the way it was shown, it was just a prewiew.

plus it was just a few short shots so it feels a bit disjointed, which may give the impression of being speeded up.

Saw the .mov file last night instead of just the flash. It looks like that pole has more than one of the fin things. If we assume that the scene is set in the cemetary then it may be some Sal form of grave marker, with a carved fin on it.

We already know, you can see two. Maybe it is a gravestone.

Heh. It's funny how everyone's raving about how good it looks. It's not ingame, so don't expect the whole game to look that great.

Well I've never understood how people can get all excited over how an FMV cinematic looks. Final Fantasy IX had some awesome FMV's, but that doesn't mean the in-game stuff was the same calibur.

I only get excited over in-engine stuff. Anything other than that doesn't reflect how the game will really look.

I get this vibe that because more of us prefer Xbox to PS2 that you have developed some sort of competitive hatred for most of us because you're a PS2 person. Or it could be you just don't like Oddworld. Sorry, if I'm jumping to conclusions but you seem to have been nothing but a wet blanket for a while now. We are excited because every little bit of info is something new and it's interesting to share our theories with one another, sorry if it appears we're getting hectic, but we're not. Also we just love Oddworld. Oddworld Forums is a place you discuss about Oddworld. What do you think we're doing? The FMVs are as equally important and exciting as the gameplay and we can party 'till we drop if we want.
