    Since oddworld inhabitants have not done sligstorm atleast yet, I can recommend a good read. A fanfiction called 'terminal case of having a heart' it's not complete yet but it kept me glued to the screen none the less. But yes it's about an escaping slig.

    Oddworld is a cool series it's always stood out to me thanks to its brutal bad endings. It hope they use the rebooted universe to expand upon a bunch of stuff cause the universe of oddworld is wild and infinitely fascinating to me.

    I emulated and loved the original Oddysee, though I was 4 mudokons short of the 99 (something I will never be able to live down). I'm playing Exoddus right now and plan on buying New n' Tasty this weekend, all to prepare me for Soulstorm, whenever I get my hands on that one. I grew to love this series and have nothing but the highest praise for Lorne Lanning and OWI for all the effort and love they poured into this franchise.

    The Steef Guardian of the River was originally a character designed for Munch's Exoddus - with this in mind, I think Stranger's Wrath was spun from the original story idea for Munch's Exoddus; Munch journeys to Ma'Spa to birth the Gabbiwogs, only to find the Mongo River no longer exists and has been bottled up into a Dam.
    Incidentally, when extracting the files from Stranger's Wrath, all of the Sekto Springs assets are still labelled as "Ma'Spa Dam" in the files.

    • @Garrulous64
      @Garrulous64  Год назад +5

      Dang, i woulda liked to have seen a second Munch game. With the new Quintology i'm wondering if we'll see Munch or any of the originally planned characters at all
      I think Lorne in one of the podcast episodes said Munch would still be in the new Quintology, but his role might be smaller.

    Holy crap, didn't think you'd be talking about this series. Man, I grew up with Abe's Oddysee on the family's old Windows 98. Never beat it as a kid, but during my college years I found out how to emulate cd games and finally did and started playing the others. I wish these games got more attention because the world is so strange and awesome.

    Should note that Caddy marked them as old cause he's not exactly fond of his older work, on top of it being done to make sure people watch his newer stuff as he's evolved his craft and, for lack of a better term, rebooted his channel in how he does content.

    And yeah, Glukkons are not known for their foresight. Or, really, their brains in general. Hell, if they were smart, they'd *farm* animals -- as per the company's name, RuptureFARMS -- instead of just hunting them to extinction.

    I grew up with Oddworld and I love them all to death. I played them when I was WAY too young, but it absolutely planted the seed of how much I love atmospheric and weird games. Knowing more about the implications of the story and the history of the production now that I'm an adult has only made me love them more and more.

  • @Triforce_of_Doom
    @Triforce_of_Doom 2 года назад +5

    My only experience with Oddworld was playing a family friend's copy of Munch when I was young & didn't know what I was doing. Never made it past the tutorial area but the game just kinda stuck in my mind from both the setting & that random Sobe product placement (my family really liked Sobe back then). Knowing the release/dev history now, wow that initial plan got FUCKED!

    Lovely retrospective.
    Would you like to play a custom level mod for Abe's Oddysee? It's a standalone mod (separate, bundled with fan-remade game engine) so you don't need to replace any original game files. The difficulty isn't high and the level design is very nonlinear. If you are interested, the download link is in the description of my newest video. (I can't post links in youtube comments or they get deleted..) Hope you enjoy if you decide to give it a try. 😳

We both love Sonic, and Oddworld our names are the same and spelled the same and we were born in the late nineties!! Albeit I am as old as Oddworld itself and you are +1 year.older than Oddworld!! Regardless!! I watched this video the WHOLE WAY THROUGH!!! You are awesome and you have good great awesome outstanding and AMAZING taste in Video Game series and franchises!! If the Dev cycle of the Oddworld Quintology is anything to speculate about I'd say roughly about maybe 6 to 7 years a game to wait for... due to New N Tasty having been 2014 and Soulstorm in 2020 but was delayed (probably cuz of COVID) so I'd say we will hear from Lorne again in roughly about 2 to 3 years or so and we should get a new game and a new story the third of the 5 by the time you and I are 30 so yeah see ya then XD

    Oddworld has always been close to my heart; it was the first time I had ever experienced such an atmospheric, story-centric platformer. It’s odd balance of horrific creatures and scenarios with comedy (it has a fart button) is one that’s hard to come by. It’s a strange connection to make, but it wasn’t until playing Celeste that I felt such a natural weaving of story into a 2d platformer.

    I hope the devs see this and mathewmatosis vid, I wish they would go back to the as you put it almost grid like movement, I really dont like this new floaty and imprecise stuff. Also the aesthetics especially in new n tasty are way to bright and colourful, we need to bring back the grim dark scary feel of oddworld, and o0ne hit kills would help with that, just keep quick saves.

    The actual story why we don't have Hand of Odd is because Lourne was in the bathroom washing his hands while Bobby Kotick showed up and they were talking about their projects and Kotick told him not to bother due to the gaming market at the time, but my head cannon is that Kotick planted the seed of doubt in Lannings head on purpose because Kotick is a cancer to the gaming community.

    Exoddus not being what it was originally intended was less about hardware limitations and more about the fact that their publisher gave them a 9 month deadline to create the game.
    Also, the 'Sligs killed' counter in Soulstorm is a leftover from a feature that was originally in soulstorm where killing sligs would negatively impact your quarma. It got removed for some reason, most likely just negative feedback from playtesters

I remember when I first beat the game it told me to do it again without passwords. So I did, then it told me to beat it yet again without dying. Before I actually beat the game I figured out that it has an infinite jump exploit similar to the one in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
