lorne = 50% OWI...
so, how could he leave it?

no he is definitely not

***Alcar*** · #**632** 06-24-2008, 04:42 AM

I don't know Xavier, that's some pretty reliable information there.

Alcar...

I had hoped not to comment on this rumour until the press release, but unfortunately it is true. Lorne Lanning is leaving Oddworld Inhabitants to work at EA. He will be leaving creative control to Paul O’Connor.

Oddsville · #**634** 06-24-2008, 05:40 AM

You actually had me worried at first....
Bastard.

horia_roks · #**635** 06-24-2008, 05:41 AM

NOW I HATE OWI!!!!!

***Wil*** · #**636** 06-24-2008, 05:50 AM

Ah. Then you won’t be needing your membership here.

horia_roks · #**637** 06-24-2008, 06:07 AM

I mean that I hate the NEW OWI and what Lanning became! AN EA-ist. EA Games SCREWS UP GAMES SINCE 1982.

Munch's Master · #**638** 06-24-2008, 06:47 AM

Lanning's leaving? I'm totally confused. Is this for real or a wind-up? Oddsville's comment says 1 thing, horia's another.

OddYouko · #**639** 06-24-2008, 08:22 AM

What he's leaving OWI?! I really hope this is another joke.

Then Paul O’Connor is gonna continue with the OW games? I'm so confused.

Shut up.

I don't understand why he'd go back to EA after what they did to MO and SW. Won't believe it until I see evidence.

abe is now! · #**642** 06-24-2008, 11:57 AM

I think they have some good reasons for having done it. We'll miss him

!!! I loved how he gave Abe a voice and how he created the big world of Oddworld... what he thought, characters' names, their appearance, their gamespeak, the environments, the emotions.

*crying out load*

Wings of Fire · #**643** 06-24-2008, 12:08 PM

In other news Oddworld Nod's Oddysee has just been announced cross console, while Squeek has been confirmed as Stranger and Citizen Siege will not only be set on Oddworld but explain once and for all why Abe really has his lips stitched up.
If BM told you people the earth was flat would you believe him, I mean seriously?

*Laughing out loud*

***Wil*** · #**644** 06-24-2008, 12:15 PM

This is so worth it.

***Nate*** · #**645** 06-24-2008, 04:36 PM

Oh, wait. One of those items mentioned in WoF will actually be confirmed in my inexorably Coming Soon interview with Lorne.

Oddsville · #**646** 06-24-2008, 05:38 PM

But which? The suspense kills!

horia_roks · #**647** 06-24-2008, 09:03 PM

Fuzzle Guy, you can't ban me! You're just a member.
Oh, and who is BM from WoF's post?

caracal · #**648** 06-24-2008, 09:37 PM

http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...=CAAO0008.jpg1 About this piece...who's that Glukkon with a mouthpiece on his face? he looks sorta tribal to me, and I LIKE IT! anybody's got any info on him?

horia_roks · #**649** 06-24-2008, 09:55 PM

It's an old concept for Glokkons.

***Nate*** · #**650** 06-24-2008, 11:12 PM

From the version of Abe's story where he was a fisherman and...

:

In the case that he was a fisherman, the meat processing plant was more of a religious institution that was dictating policy over basic 'human rights'.

That was meant to be a Glukkon religious leader.

You don't know who Bullet Magnet is?!

OddYouko · #**652** 06-27-2008, 08:15 AM

Stupid question...how old is Sam? And when she get's to what 40 years of age then what will the Glukkons do? Are they keeping her alive so she'll live past 40?

Slaveless · #**653** 06-27-2008, 11:56 AM

I'm not sure of her age, and I think it might be possible that Mudokon queens live past the workers life span. By the end of her life, I think she would already have a child. But when that child does come, by then they probably might want to find a way to keep Sam reproducing until the successor can do the same job.

Of course, Nate might know a thing or two about this. We will just wait and see on what his article says.

Hulaabeo · #**654** 06-27-2008, 04:35 PM

In SW are the Upgraded versions of the live ammo like the Rabid Fuzzle wild or are they slightly mutated versions?

***Wil*** · #**655** 06-27-2008, 04:41 PM

Hmmm. I forget exactly which are found where. Some are sold in the General Store and Black Market. Some are found in crates. Some are hunted in the wild. Mostly, I think, you breed them yourself in your breeder bag.

***Nate*** · #**656** 06-27-2008, 06:16 PM

From memory, once you get the updated versions, you no longer see those creatures in the wild. As Max says, you just use the breeder bag to get more ammo.

Bullet Magnet · #**657** 06-28-2008, 02:00 PM

You still find them in the wild, but they're not upgraded until you catch them.

40 is the life-expectancy of the worker classes. I think queens live much longer.

*hurt*

Oh, an astrozoologists have finally ascertained the sex of the great A'tuin, the world turtle. It's a girl. Nice one Max.

MeechShrykull1029 · #**658** 07-03-2008, 02:15 PM

What are Stingrings. I've read something about them in an old thread, but no one said what they were.

***Wil*** · #**659** 07-03-2008, 03:02 PM

We don’t know what the are.

OddYouko · #**660** 07-05-2008, 08:08 AM

I don't know if I've asked this question before but...
In Abe's Exoddus I forget which clip it was but it shows a poster of a Mudokon pop but it looks like the Japanese version..why?
