I don't want to play devil's advocate to NnT, the in game advertisements were garish, the credits theme ill-fitting, and the mudokon voices were distracting at best. But I feel like while they could have definitely not been included and made the game more immersive, they were atleast somewhat necessary to create the kind of hype and revenue that a dead franchise like Oddworld needed to sucessfully reboot, or atleast do so more easily. The quality of Soulstorm is looking to be considerably better than NnT and I may be biased towards AE being my first and favourite Oddworld game, but I'd rather see this one done properly.
Anyway,
I don't want fan mudokon voices
I don't want in game advertisements
I don't want fan composed credits themes
I'm hoping for Mudombies, I've always been really interested in them and feel like they'd make a great mechanic done correctly. I REALLY want to see the exterior of Bonewerkz, the fact we never saw it bugged me in AE since the game's main factories were always presented with such an imposing exterior, and Bonewerkz being so different with all the bricks and mortar is just something I want to see.
Is this a hope, or a reaction?
