Abe's oddyseey was and still is my favorite game so, please, don't destroy the atmosphere and remember Abe is blue because he is supposed to be sad(don't make it cartoony like munch).
Always keep in mind the spectacular melancholic sceneries are half of the appeal.
Keep in mind the majority of characters are archetypal existing classes in the real world so don't destroy the arketype personalizing them too much like making, for exemple, an intelligent slig or a glukkon with sense of remorse.
Those lone exceptions can exist but they deserve to be kept as the main characters for a future oddworld game.
Then here is my suggestions:
1. Characters behave and comment in different ways if thy are in big groups(3n.p.c.); for exemple sligs can become more violent and start hitting mudokons while laughing.
2. Guardian angel is in the game and try to convince mudokons the singhing power dosen't exist.
3. A new class of mudokon sikness: if thy have been moralized by the shrink(guardian angel) they will try to hit Abe and escape if he sing while screaming "i saw nothing!""It can't be!" while covering their ears.
4. Mudokon that give you powers (rings) must be shamans(i remember wasting time trying to save them).
5. Shrykull is bigger than Abe and you can walk in thet form before using the power.
6. If sligs see you in shrykull form they will escape screaming "it can't exist for real!".
7. Add a lot of rust and leaks near water tubes and grafitti to make the place more real.
8. Trapped scrabs and paramiti will kill the sligs first if thy are freed from their prison.
9. Some kind of worthy reward for not using quiksave.
10. Add Sloggies
11. I know it's a remake but surprise us with a new original little area near the end of the game(maybe the guardian angel one).
12. Don't hint at secret levels like in AE (i don't want the game to be easier)
13. Chant suppressor should move crossing screens following Abe.
14. on the stockyards clouds cast shadows and affect the gameplay.
15. amputated mudokon can't pull leves or run fast
16. change whistle with actual notes (at least 3) and make the player recompse simple melodies, bells locks should follow those melodies and not automatically reproduce the score.
15. advertising billboard with OE brew and MO products
16. In really hard levels Abe will comment with "oh my god!!" or "not this again"
17. bats can be scared of with explosion or sligs gunshots
18. sligs will lose their mechanical pants if they fall,get hit or are scared(by abe singhing or shrikull)
19. bats must come out of the graund and fly to the sky, you can't make the same bat follow the same geometrical trajectory forever (use a mine instead)
20. paramity will descend from the cealing and grab abe whith their tentacles without touching ground.
21. scrabs will follow some more complex ritual before attacking each other.
22. fireflies will follow Abe and light the way
23. passing sligs will make birds fly away, Abe won't
24. if Abe is stending on the same position for too much time he will start meditating,whistle or sitting (the same for his mudokon companion)
25. if Abe is close to an explosion will take more time for him to stand up again
26. please don't add cute creatures to the game
27. sitting and meditate(like mudokons on mosaic lines) make you resist 1 hit no matter how strong while in that position (then you fall and probably get killed the same way)
28. rings will make all machinary like meat grinder stop for an istant and orbs(chant suppressors) will fall to the ground
29. make some native mudokons ask philosophical questions and riddles instead of whistle
30. always thought oddworld miss some sort of carnivorous plant (i would like to see Abe possess moving plants)
31. rings will paralize sligs pants
32. bat portals instead of bird ones in some dark zones (bird don't fly at night)
33. sligs must trow a bone to the slogs in order to make them frendly
34. keep the world distanced to the player (don't make blood splat on the camera, don' address directly the player in order to teach him console commands,all messages must be for Abe only)
35. Abe must keep the rhyme
36. M.O.M. news
37. Abe must not use glukkon's weapons(change the granades with something else)
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST PUT YOUR HEART IN IT!!!
