More Wildlife Creatures In The Next Game !!!!!!

mokho · #1 05-16-2002, 10:57 AM

I'VE JUST FINISHED MUNCH ON X-BOX AND I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT CREATURES LIKE SCRABS AND PARAMITES DOES JUST A "CAMEO" APPEARENCE IN TWO MISSIONS AS WELL AS THE ONE EYED LAMBS CALLED "CICLAPRE" IN THE ITALIAN VERSION !!!!!
AND WHAT ABOUT THE RATS SEEN ONLY IN THE CG VIDEOS ? ODDWORLD INHABITANTS COULD USE THEM IN GAME FOR EXAMPLE TO MAKE THEM EAT ENEMIES DEAD BODIES ....
I LIKE BEST IN ODDWOLD SERIES THE WILDLIFE CREATURES AND ENVIROMENT AND I WISH THE NEXT GAME WILL FOCUS ON THIS SIDE OF THE ODD-ECHOSYSTEM.
WHY DONT MAKE A GAME IN WICH U ARE ANOTHER NATIVE ODDWORLD NOMAD RACE AND U HAVE TO TRAVEL VARIOUS REGIONS OF THE PLANET "SIMPLY" TRYNG TO SURVIVE IN DIFFERENT CLIMATIC AND GEOGRAFIC CONDITION AND INTERACT WITH DIFFERENT WILD RACES ?
WHAT DO U THINK FANS TO FOCUS A NEW GAME ON THE WILD SIDE OF ODDWORLD ???
LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINION
THANKS CIAO :-)

I don't think any plots should center on walking around and smelling the roses and trying not to get eaten. Unless Lorne plans to do that in the Quintology, I am perfectly happy with the factories and such that our heros have been exploring. I do think that OWI should spend more time making the outdoor environments more alive. In AO and AE you always got the feel that there was something more, beyond the gameplay. In MO they do as good of a job as making the outdoors look like the dwelling place of many creatures. A goo analogy is that in Abe's games you don't feel like you're looking at a gamelevel, in MO you do. I want more creatures (especially ones like rats that don't do anything but hop around and look cool) and the removal of the use of "fog" and cliffs to isolate the levels. OWI can come up with more creative backgrounds than that!

Yeah, I like how they use the industrial locations. It's very original. If it was all habitats and forests, it would remind me of many other games and movies. And we wouldn't want that!

In AE and AO there was lots of details...
birds who flying away when you step
yeah that can be cool some little creatures who do nothing and who move and life don't caring of us

I think in hand of odd you cold be a slig.(Abe dosn't exist yet in this game) Glukkons I still have to check and see if we could be them. but I think you meane like a scrab.

Xaiver what do the stars meen next to your and mostly everyones (I have them) name?

***Wil*** · #8 05-18-2002, 07:28 AM

Hand of Odd might not necessarily take place before the events of the Quintology, that was only an early idea for the game. Who knows what has happened since then. OWI are being very secretive about their future works, and good on them.

And I agree about the whole wildlife thing. One small cameo appearance by the Scrabs and Paramites, and a tiny mini-level herding Meeps is pretty pathetic. For a game who's central character is all for animal rights, we don't seem to be getting much.

But then, on the other hand, we hardly get to see much about the Industrial races, either. Apart from Humphrey and Irwin's two appearances and the Gabbiar auction, we don't get to see what the Glukkons or Vykkers do to any degree. In Abe's Exoddus we got to see the terror flooding through the Magog Cartel, but this just wasn't in MO. It's as if OWI were in such a hurry to get this thing done they forgot to focus the game on anything, wildlife, native or industrial.

Oh, and the stars by your name represen what status you are. You get higher status and more stars by posting more posts. But don't think that's an excuse to spam a lot.

They are there just as another extra part of your user title. The more posts you have the more stars you get, Xavier is one of the few very lucky people to have the most stars you can get at this point in time.

You would have probably noticed that the titles change too.

Alcar, you have "Rok"
what is that?

munch man Abe · #11 05-18-2002, 12:34 PM

I have a gabbiwog I love that word

mokho · #12 05-18-2002, 01:30 PM

FIRST OF ALL THANKS TO ALL OF U FOR ANSWERING ME AND GIVING YOUR POINT OF VIEW ABOUT MY IDEAS.
THERE IS A SECOND REASON WHY I ADDED A REPLY : SOME OF U MISUNDERSTOOD MY OPINIONS .... WELL I KNOW BY MYSELF THAT THE MAIN REASON IS BECAUSE I DIDN'T ESPLAIN THEM VERY WELL IN MY FIRST POSTING ;-) ....I'LL TRY TO BE MORE CLEAR THIS TIME .
I DON'T DISLIKE GLUKS OR INDUSTRIAL AT ALL BUT I THINK IS FASCINATING TO MAKE A GAME THAT FOCUSSES ON THE WILDLIFE AND THAT SHOULD MAKE THE PLAYER ABLE TO TRAVEL TROUGH SOME DIFFERENT REGIONS ( LIKE SCRABANIA AND PARAMONIA IN OAO ) EACH REGION WHIT HIS " FAUNA & FLORA " AND NATURAL DANGERS LIKE PREDATORS , HEARTQUAKES , SNOW , VOLCANOES AND MORE .
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT U HAVE TO ROAMIN' AROUND AND SMELL FLOWERS I MEANT THAT U HAVE TO SURVIVE IN DIFFERENT HOSTILE CONDITIONS , SOMETHING LIKE THE UPCOMING LIONHEAD X-BOX GAME "AD" IN WICH U HAVE TO GUIDE A PRIMITVE TRIBE THROUGH PREHISTORIC PERILS .
I THINK THAT ODDWORLD'S DESIGN IS PERFECT TO FIT IN A GAME LIKE THIS, FINALLY I DIDN'T MEAN WITH "NEXT GAME" THE THIRD CHAPTER OF THE QUINTOLOGY 'CAUSE I THINK THAT QUINTOLOGY WILL HAVE THE FIGHT BETWEEN MUDOKONS AND THE INDUSTRIALS AS "GUIDE LINE".
MY IDEA IS TO MAKE A GAME THAT COULD GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO ODDWORLD'S WILDLIFE AS WELL AS COULD BE FUNNY MAKE A GAME THAT HAS IT'S MAIN SCENE IN GLUKKONS ORIGINAL PLANET ....... I HOPE I WAS MORE CLEAR NOW LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINIONS AND THANKS AGAIN
CIAO :-)

***Xavier*** · #13 05-18-2002, 01:45 PM

But yeah a world more wildlife for one of the games will be cool too
but I think it's what we will see in Hand of Odd
your idee is nice

A Rok is a really big legendary bird, however it may be something else in Oddworld.

I would really like to see some of the wildlife incorporated WITH the way the game currently is. Like some flowers here and there, puddles in the factories...flies over some old carcasses...those are the things that really bring games to life, and I agree that MO could have used a lot more of that.
