GET EM

... who? The only Matthew I'm a fan of is Matthew Devoria, and he has nothing to do with Oddworld.

>we still haven't seen Squeek
Its unbearable. His design sounds so abstract that I can't picture it.

>Ok you guys liked more 2D entries but you dont like what we did to Oddysee with the remake
>They hire new devs and decide to reboot Exoddus
>Ok so what if we add crafting and turn it into a 2D RTS where you have an army of mudokens following you
>Also killing sligs gives you negative quarma
>Also we need to completely butcher the slick backrounds in favor of brightly lit multi layered 3D backrounds

All of this hassle to reinvent an already rock solid gameplay loop because youre ashamed that Exoddus wasnt your "original vision"

they were basically just clones of eachother with different voices they didn't have a huge impact on the story rite? I don't really care. But also who are all those renders of glukkons supposed to be if not them? their replacements youd assume

TLDR: who cares

They also took the "Oddworld doesn't work in 3d" meme way too far. Munch's Oddysee came out in 2001 on new hardware that OWI weren't used to yet. It was extremely flawed and full of rookie mistakes, but it wasn't like it was horrible. There's no reason to think that they would have made those mistakes again in Munch's Exoddus or Squeek's Odyssee. Stranger's Wrath already showed significant improvement.

lorne himself talked a little shit about looting and crafting during the demo he showed off, but said something like "its not exactly how you expect, its very fitting for this game". So ill give him the benefit of the doubt until we see more. it does sound and look like a shitty idea though

there is concept art of squeek you know. as well as some general descriptions of who he is

The dumbest shit is that now a lot of stuff from Munch is how Soulstorm functions. You have a limit on posession time now. That makes no sense in a 2D game.

Should i get Stranger's Wrath HD? I never played the original but I watched my dad play it when it released. and I beat the final boss for him but I dont remember ANYTHING about it

Are you talking about the severed head guy with the mechanical body? I heard that wasn't squeek. But, maybe those old Oddworld forum posts are full of shit
