HOLY SHIT

So how are they going to tie the Mudoken insurgency into Stranger's Wrath?

I'd take Fangus or another Stranger game, since his story was left unfinished.

>>Super serious grimdark
What? If anything it's ridiculously cartoony compared to the previous games.

Originally, there was no indication that Stranger's Wrath happened within Abe's lifetime. Crossing Abe and Stranger over would be really weird. Especially since grubbs were clearly stand-ins for mudokons.

I kind of wish they just made the Abe's Exoddus remake a glorified New N' Tasty expansion maybe with a slightly altered plot so they can tell the story they've allegedly always wanted to tell, instead of reworking the entire basis of the Abe games from the ground up. The direction this game is taking seems extremely risky. Too risky for a studio as volatile as modern Oddworld Inhabitants.

That xbox oddworld game was way better than I thought it would be, just got around to it recently.

Stranger's Wrath was one of the best games for the original Xbox. It made the system's otherwise crappy 2005 worth havng.

Why is it so difficult for an original and new Oddworld game to be made? Is Lanning a mega autist with a stick shoved up his ass?

He's the opposite of an autist, if anything.

retards with terrible taste. oddworld 1+2 are some of the best ps1 games and have aged very well, controls are still tight

>no one remembers or cares about Strangers Wrath

the first half was good

He's getting the chance to tell an epic story with all the advantages of modern technology. I'm just sad it's taken an eternity to make.

I don't like the art of gameplay direction. I'm happy to see the vykkers return, but I think we've already seen all that there is to them. There's so much of the world that hasn't been depicted, it's a shame to see more retreading. We've still never seen who the consumers are. The ones who actually buy the paramite pies and scrab cakes.

Kind of, I guess. He's really obsessed with the idea of the Oddworld Quintology and that it HAS to be done perfectly. Abe's Exoddus doesn't align with his vision so obviously Soulstorm is an attempt to make it conform to that vision. One must wonder though if all the resources and precious years spent working on this remake that fans probably won't even like as much as the original would have been better spent working on the 3rd quintology game (Abe's Oddysee > Munch's Oddysee > the cancelled Squeek's Odysee).

The guy is 56 years old, I hope he knows what he's doing and has given himself ample time to finish his vision. Soulstorm honestly seems like a huge waste of time to me considering Exoddus wasn't even considered as being a main part of the Quintology back in the day.

Why are they spending time remaking the old games that only 0.01% of boomers remember when they could be making new games?

Isn't Mullock supposed to end up being one of the heroes who saves Oddworld? Maybe Soulstorm is leading up to that.

It's a bummer since I liked how Exoddus turned out. I'm not sure why Lorne thinks it was such a failure. It had the best art direction, too. Every location felt completely unique and alien. I've still never seen another environment like Bonewerkz or Necrum. Even Oddysee had straightforward places like Paramonia and Monsaic Lines. It's a shame we likely won't play Squeek's game, or even know the names of the other 2 heroes.
Where did you hear that? That sounds awesome, as long as it isn't cheesy.
I used to imagine that as a kid.

I read it sometime after Stranger's Wrath bombed and everyone assumed the series was dead. I couldn't tell you where. Basically the plotline was after the destruction of SoulStorm the Magog Cartel wants to capture Mullock for a trial and a quick death sentence. He ends up fleeing into the wasteland and is captured by the Mudokons. Gradually they learn of the Glukkons history and how they were originally lived in peace until the appearance of the Mudokon Moon which cause them to fear and hide from the Mudokons, eventually causing them to turn into what they are now. Mullock realizes what they've become and how he has to save them from destroying the world.

>Isnt it meant to be out in 2020??
Yeah still no release date though with a mere 26 days left of this year. Pretty safe to say it's not coming out until 2021 by this point...
Same with System Shock.

by first half you mean everything that happens before Strangers real idenity is revealed? Seems like a completely different game after that
