Damn
"The Rats have fallen to have a virtually nonexistent role in the game. The Sea Rex may only appear in movies. It's a huge water creature that feeds on everything."

Thanks for informing us Lantra, here's the link to the interview itself:

no problem although i hate to be the beare of bad news.

Elum · #6 05-12-2001, 01:14 AM

that really sucks. I have seen the movie with the sea rex, and he is only in it for a few seconds. I really hoped to be swimming around with munch in really deep water, and there be a huge dark sea rex shadow go over me...that would be creepy, and cool. please OI, give us some Sea Rex!

ODDBODD · #7 05-12-2001, 01:17 AM

i think i heard that somewhere. Anyway what can you do with a rat?

Elum · #8 05-12-2001, 02:01 AM

nobody knows yet...they have only been described in very low detail in one of the oddchats with the CG department.

Lantra · #9 05-12-2001, 03:01 AM

we could always write to oddworld pleading with them to include the sea rex and the rat.

Dakkan Blackblade · #10 05-12-2001, 08:29 AM

1. Munch's Oddysee is moved to X-Box
2. We pre-pay for a PS2
3. X-Box+PS2= 600$!!!
3. Munch's oddysee cuts cool animals

-I hate you all- good bye

freakyLA · #11 05-12-2001, 08:43 AM

You´re just right Dakkan. I think the reason why OWI now always do this is just Microsoft!!! i hate microsoft They´re bad!!!.
i could imagine that Bill Gates met lorne at some game presenting event and he saw the first picts of MO. then he thought this:

"WOW!!!! Great game!!! Every one will buy my x-box if this graet game comes out only for it!!! Because of OWI´s great work on the graphic nobody will realize the bad graphic of the x-box!!! That´s a graet iddea!"
Then he wanted to get OWI for his console so he put some drugs in lorne´s drink and hypnotiesed him or such stuff like that. then Lorne thought the x-box is gret and he developped Mo now for this console.
Perhaps microsoft didn´t like the sea rex so the made some voodoo or magic and Lorne cut it off MO. Who knows what they already did with MO???? Perhaps we´ll get their slaves after MO playing , too??!! AH!!! And someone has to rescue Lorne out of Microsof´s force!!!! (By the way great stufffor a new fanfict!!!!)
*goes away and starts writing*

freakyLA · #12 05-12-2001, 08:46 AM

Ah and before i forget this: Where was the video with the sea rex???? Please post a link

dumboddrw2 · #13 05-12-2001, 10:04 AM

Think about it this way: You will have to look foward to Munch's Exoddus..I mean,they can't use all the cool ideas in just MO! Wait and see...

dumboddrw2 · #14 05-12-2001, 10:07 AM

Also,I can make simple 3D games using Direct X on my PC. I have tried coding C++,t is impossible.

Stick with X Box,Oddworld. I bought a PS2,but then I get the best of both consoles!

Elum · #15 05-12-2001, 10:44 AM

If I had to guess...I think the plot for Munches Exoddus will be something about pollution. Like all of the factories are dumping waste in the ocean, and its killing off the gabbits. I bet that will be the plot.

Anyways, you can't download the movie. It was on Gamespot TV a few months ago...you can watch the whole show in streaming, and see the sea rex, along with a ton of stuff about gabbits, but if you have a slow connection its so low quality that you cant tell what anything is. sorry

freakyLA · #16 05-12-2001, 11:43 AM

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!THAT MAKES ME ANGRIER AS I ALLREADY AM!!!! AND WHO`S FAULT IS IT???? I GUESS MICROSOFTS!!!! WAAAA!!!!!! DID YA KNOW HOW MANY BAD NEWS I GOT TODAY!!!!!!!!???
???????? WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
*GOES AWAY DEPRESEDLY AND GOES CRAZY*

Lantra · #17 05-12-2001, 01:26 PM

calm down freaky. oddworld might include them later on but then again they might not. i wonder if they would accecpt suggestions or rather pleas from the fans to include the sea rex and rats in munch's exodus we could always try.

iliodd · #18 05-12-2001, 05:12 PM

Um, no offense to FreakyLA or anyone else who is upset to see the animals leave, but don't game designers get creative cortrol over their games? If they feel there's no point in including a character, it's their choice to make.

Lantra · #19 05-12-2001, 08:40 PM

that dosent meen we have to like that choice illiod.

iliodd · #20 05-13-2001, 12:16 AM

True, but I trust Lorne and the others to make the choice that most benifits the Oddworld universe and games. Besides, I'm sure we'll see the Rat and Sea Rex eventually.

ODDBODD · #21 05-13-2001, 01:38 AM

Its just one game, you cant expect the whole freaking planet to be shown in one game!!!?
Freaky stop freaking out, yes microsoft does suck ass but it doesn't meran its their fault. I am sure when you guys play the game you wont even care about it

Danny · #22 05-13-2001, 06:47 PM

i was a lot more pissed off than this when i discovered that i was either going to have to buy an xbox or a new pc to even play MO. THAT is the sucky-type thing...

who cares about rats anyway? although sea rexes would be cool, it wouldn't do to cram everything into one game. then the others wouldn't be very good at all, now, would they?

Dakkan Blackblade · #23 05-13-2001, 08:27 PM

Why couldn't they have had a vote for change, if I ever create a company (odds are never due to i'm a artist with no bussiness skills) I will put up polls seeing what the fans want!!! Power to the people!!! #%$* The corprate machine!

***Cloverfield*** · #24 05-14-2001, 03:04 AM

I fail to see what the big deal is... sure the Sea Rex and Rats might have been cool... but we will be seeing so many new creatures in Munch's Oddysee that in the scope of things this will not matter at all. With all the "other" unknown new creatures, then these won't even matter.

OWI pre-released images of two possible creatures... they would probably have more creatures thought up than you can imagine... and as everything's developed they do not fit into the scheme of things.

All this stupid evil Microsoft stuff is crazy... Microsoft aren't telling OWI what to and what not to put into their games. *shakes head* Then again, some people just seem to be brainwashed that way.

Abe Babe...

iliodd · #25 05-14-2001, 07:32 PM

Thank you so much AbeBabe. It's not like Microsoft's forcing them to cut creatures, and as I recall it was OWI that actually asked to develop fro Xbox. Also, there's no reason to think that we'll never see the Rats and Sea Rexes. If they appear in movies, I'm sure they'll appear in a later game because they'll be a part of the Oddworld universe.

Steel Shark 100 · #26 05-14-2001, 08:02 PM

70 characters/creatures in MO.what of those? No sea rex,so what are we missing,we don't have a real clue to what the sea rex would have been.A Lochness monster,Jurassic park type creature,whatever,might of been something interesting,but why cry over spilled milk.Think positive,think what can those other 40-something new creatures be like in MO.

Who knows what lurks in the demented minds of Oddworld,I can't wait to find out.When Abe or Munch are booted out of the game then you can cry over that glass of spilled milk.

Pacen · #27 05-14-2001, 09:20 PM

Steel Shark has there really been any definate comfirmation of this "70 creatures"? On the Microsoft Oddworld site it says "Interact with 35 Oddball Races". This might mean there are more but you can only interact with 35 of them, but I believe it means there will only be 35 in Munch's Oddysee. I mean, if there's 70, there are heaps of creatures we've never even heard of.

Dakkan Blackblade · #28 05-14-2001, 10:09 PM

We would be playing Munch right now if it wasn't for that great "Microsoft" and there "X-Box". I'll they did is take the PS2 verison and convert it to X-BOx code.

Pacen · #29 05-14-2001, 11:18 PM

Yes they did Dakkan, for the simple reason that they had little to no support from Sony and the PS2 is so much more difficult to program for. Why don't you drop this "Sony rulez, Microsoft sux" attitude and face the facts: Because of Microsoft's Xbox, OWI can make this game so much more than what it would have been on the PS2. Don't you believe OWI when they say this?

Just because you'll have to pay for another console if you want to play this great game is no reason to constantly bring up this topic about you hating Xbox and loving PS2.

Steel Shark 100 · #30 05-14-2001, 11:20 PM

Yes Dakkan, but look on the bright side it will be much better on XBOX,no doubt.Just ask Oddworld.

Pacen: I read this in a Coremagazine interview about six weeks ago.An interview with Lorne Lanning.In this interview they also mentioned 200+ hours of gaming bliss and a create character mode.They said 70 characters/creatures.Perhaps they will have mutated spiecies of what we already know,or creatures from the same family but another tribe,who knows.

This game will be about 3x longer than both of the previous games combined.there will have to be many new locations and characters to go along with them.We shall see real soon finally with E3 finally here. They really have witheld too much,Oddworld should work for Nintendo instead of Microsoft,they both withold too much info,they would be a perfect fit.

Maybe you can find the interview in coremagazine's archive's,you'll see that 70 character announcement for sure.I am 100% sure of it being 70 characters,but who knows what there plans are these days.They certantly are not going to tell.Tell me what you come up with.
