Next Oddworld Game Type

If Lorne decided to make another Oddworld game to keep us busy for a while , what genre do you think the game would be? I personally think/hope it will be another Adventure type of game like MO but with a bit of shooting in it as well. And I also hope desperately that he makes another 2D game like AO and AE.

2d games rock the socks, and maybe he could combine the two, I don't know how he would, but if anyone could do it, he could

Oddworld Horror.
Some really dark, creepy, native ghost shiznit. Terrifying creatures lumbering toward you out of the darkness, things reminiscent of Gloktigi only more... disturbing.

That's all I have to say.

Shooter and a mix of genres, just to spice up the recipe.
I loved OSW, and the live critter factor; I do wanna use it again, 'specially the cute lil' Chippunks and Stingbees. ^.^

I'd like Abes Oddysee to be redesigned into a FPS (abe dosn't have a gun obviously, except when he possesses a slig). With more of a dark aspect like Sekto wants. Goin round Rupture Farms sneaking in the shadows feeling the Slig right up beside you etc. Seeing a mudokon get beaten the crap out of n then going up n game speaking to it. That would be sweet.

Scrabania and Paramonia can be designed into a massive fantasy world in 3d. With the graphics they can design these days, I think it would look really awesome.

He could pick up the sligs' weapons when they're dead or sleeping. Does anyone think a "racing" type of OW game would be fun? Like racing with industrial vehicles or just riding scrabs and paramites and elum of course.

That would be...somewhat...interesting...
But not like that, maybe racing after a bad guy that is escaping, and use an Elum, or with Stranger, lope after it.
But to me, racing games suck...

Yes, I hate racing games too. I'm saying that OW would make them interesting; revolutionise them. Maybe an OW racing game would be included in the new game (if there'll be one) as a mini game.

Em...well...I guess you could say that it could be a mini-game...
But prolly more of a mission.
Not to mess up the atmosphere of the games.

I'd be happy with an Oddworld RPG or with Oddish or Sekto's suggestions, but I have a feeling it'll be another FPS-they'll want/need to get a bigger, mainstream audience buying the games so they have the money for the movies and any subsequent quintology games, and FPS' are the most maainstream games around. I don't want it to be one hthough, SW seems good (Never played it though) but Fangus looked pretty poor, and I'd hate them to bang out another FPS or a SW clone just to appease the masses or make some fast cash.

That would be really fun. Maybe something like KOTOR (Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic)

I hear RPG games these days are really poor.
I've been watching X-play, and every RPG game they get ranges from a 2.5-lower.
I dunno how Oddworld Inhabitants can break through by makin' an RPG game.
But we all have faith in 'em.
I mean, an OW RPG may be a new break-through for OWI, since they mastered at 1st person-3rd person Shooter and OSW.

They CAN NOT do racing games. All the racing games that I have played are pretty much the same and after a while, it gets boring.

Yes, my point exactly.
You pretty much just go around in a circle until you win.
Pretty pointless as a game, but ok as a sport.

I'd love the original ideas behind MO to be released as a game. That'll learn anyone to doubt.

The only thing they have to do is to make it believible again. In MO, they made it a comady. It was like a big joke. They have to make it like AO or AE.

NO, they cannot and will not make a racing game!
I would hate to see an RPG or a racing.

I think they are most safe staying with Adventure and Shooting (Not real Shooting, but Stranger's Wrath stye) games.

In case of Oddworld, I would like to see an RPG actualy. The universe and the enviorment is great for it.

Most off all, I would like Oddworld to go back to it's roots. The puzzles from the 2D games can't be matched by any 3D game. Unfortunatly, going back to 2D will definatly bankrubt OWI, as the production will likely cost more then it will earn.

The principal of MO was good, but would need some serious touch ups to stand out.

All reasons why EA should be slaughtered.

Although I would love to see another 2D game, it wouldn't do well on the shelves, as many of you stated.

I voted combination, because quite frankly, Oddworld seems like the perfect world to pull something like that off.

They should release the old AO/AE engine so we can make our own games too.

In relation to that, did AO and AE use the same game engine (A.L.I.V.E)? Or something slightly altered. And I think MO used A.L.I.V.E 2 didn't it? What does OSW use?

It didn't have a name... probably it was called "the stranger engine"
