GDC Follow-Up

That would make sense, Oddguy, but I'm putting my money on the cover guy.

[Wil]

Nah, that guy's an obsessive compulsive digger with an interest in turn of the century shovels. D. Caste Raider is the brute on the Polygon cover.

Where did you get this info? Or is it just a guess

If you check OddBlog, you'll see that Sapphire provided Max the Mug with some scans of the cards handed out at 2004's Game Developer's Conference. The information Max just let loose is contained on the rear of those cards

Alcar...

[oddguy]

Those cards are awesome! I must update OWW. Anyway, just got back from doing Spring Break stuff...that's why I haven't been here as much. I'm sure you didn't notice.

WHoa! Nice ones!
And yay! Finally even I can connect the names to the characters. I just had to guess when you guys talked about grub hunters etc.. although I'd prefer grub hunter than the other name.
What if it was microsoft's idea to put advertising in MO.. Now its a sure thing OW won't put any sobe-thingy's in stranger game.. also because fans were slightly pissed off. Don't mind me I'm just blabbering to myself.

[Alcar]

I don't think we actually have confirmation on who's idea it was to include SoBe in Munch's Oddysee. Although, I would place my bet on it being Oddworld Inhabitants' idea. Afterall, it is their game.

Alcar...

[Jacob]

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but could the Stranger guy be hunting the Outlaws?

[Mac the Janitor]

I think it's pretty possible, seeing as there are so many of them.

[Esus]

haha, the toad guy is orange!

[Nate]

is there any way to view them larger so you can read the writing clearly?

[Scrubs]

Mortimer Bang is a member of ANAL!! hehe

Aren't they clear enough on: http://www24.brinkster.com/oddenc/en...res/cards.html Or were you referring the images from 1UP?

Alcar...

[Majic]

Stranger as a vigilante type person... I quite like the idea.

[Jacob]

I'm hoping that you have to go after all of them individually, and in any order. And depending on the order you go after them, characters react differently to you...

I hope there's more than two endings aswell. Like, atleast as many endings as there are Outlaw people...

[Majic]

A free roaming, loosely guided game with an infinite number of options to take for overall completion. All in western oddworld style. That'd be quite kick ass.

[Nate]

Or were you referring the images from 1UP?

I was. That's much better. thanks

Interesting, the Looten Duke has as his words to live by "Money may be thicker than water but water's where the moolah is at!"

What do you reckon that is about? He must have some water based racket.

and does anyone have any info on what the opening movie was like/about?

[Majic]

Name: Blisterz Booty
Outlaw Class: Boss
Weapon of Choice: One big huge fat rifle.
Dislikes: Blisters on his booty. Likes: Bearing his midriff like a pop diva, giving local sherriffs the slip, and his rifle.
Favorite Magazine: Field and Scream
Most Embarassing Moment: Captured by a Steef

I hate to be one that goes about assuming of passing of speculation, but I s'pose this means that Steefs, as a whole, are probably looked down on somewhat? This may give a sense of revenge that this chap, in paticular, has with Stranger. I'm betting he'll more than likely be one of the "main" baddies, so to speak.

[Mac the Janitor]

Also note the "giving local sherriffs the slip" thing. Confirmed that they have sherriffs. I'd be interested in seeing one, actually.

Sorry love, worked that out that ages ago

[Wil]

Nate, I've got a report on the opening sequence coming up shortly. (yes, OWF finally let me log in. )

[Jacob]

'on the opening sequence'

What opening Sequence? Logging into where? What are you going on about?

You see, it's words that are strung out like that, that helped cause the war in Tibet.

The opening CG movie of the next Oddworld game. I'm amazed we haven't already got a transcript of it already. It's been shown at so many places now.

[Xavier]

Wow Max, you did some very good work while I was in vacation
congrats, it's realy an awesome feature!

I thought you'd have been smart enough to figure that all out, Jacob. See, I said "Nate", and if you check Nate's last post, you'll see the enquiry about the opening sequence of Stranger (and I'm not sure what else I could have been talking about, in any case). And I did use the term "OWF" in the same clause as "log in".

Thanks, Xav. I've tried my best, but like I say I haven't been able to get into GD for several days. Fortunately it suddenly started working. In any case I blame Alcar. But, I have actually uploaded the report now.

[Khanzumer]

... I wonder if Stranger is going to be able to shoot fuzzles from his crossbow? This opening movie sounds awesome, I hope they release it for the public somewhere soon.

One of the cards mentions a sleg. I assume that is the "wartslog", right? Also, are Pack Rat the Mortimer the same species? I can tell that there are three other species with two boss characters each, so it would make sense that those two are also the same.

[Xavier]

same spiecies:
Meagly McGraw & Dirty Hands Floyd
Blisterz Booty & Flint "Explosivez" McGee
D. Caste Raider & the Looten Duke

those are obvious

but Pack Rat Palooka & Mortimar Bang can be from the same spiecie but it's hard to tell. But keep in mind that Mortimar Bang is not a "Boss", he's only a "Minion"
I wonder whose minion he is.
