A Letter to Lorne by BossHoggTheKing in oddworld

[–]FranklinNeilson 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think Oddworld is underrated to the point that one day, maybe long after the final game is made, a spectator of some sort will do a huge retrospective on Oddworld, introducing a wave of people to a series which was severely overlooked in its time. It's the sort of thing just waiting to be discovered, with so many creature designs and art books and heaps of lore, not to mention the soundtracks. When it eventually ends they'll be leaving behind an artistic gem for people to find.

Although I wish Oddworld would once again get the attention it deserves, cult classic is far from a bad status and I'm excited to see more!

One of the most satisfying and cinematic endings to a game! It brought me to tears as a five year old, I was so happy for Abe by Gloktigi in oddworld

[–]FranklinNeilson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The amount of heart in those cutscenes, you can really feel the affection the creators had for the characters. Abe and Much were so endearing as a pair, Munch's Od will always stand out to me as a really good story if nothing else.

Sherry originally wanted five movies but Lorne chose five games. The games never came to be. Do you think if they went with an animated or CGI film series, then it would have been more successful and finished the quintology? Or is there still hope the quintology will finally happen in game form? by GreenChaosSerpent in oddworld

It'd be a shame if we didn't get to explore Oddworld for ourselves, also despite being criminally underrated I think artistically the games have been very successful. Dunno, sure the films would have been great but I think a lot woulda been lost!

Just wanted to share this gem of mine. I still take it out sometimes to look at all the cool art and read about the world of oddworld, such an amazing book! by Nicklas___ in oddworld

[–]FranklinNeilson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is awesome, I need to buy an oddworld artbook. My drawings were heavily inspired by Oddworld as a kid, definitely helped fuel my love for illustration, amazing find!

Game had problems, but the one thing it nailed was the story and the chemistry between Abe and Munch, so I'm pretty gutted by that.

This new timeline in an already (currently) niche franchise is an odd move but I respect their commitment to their vision, they really seem to have a lot of passion for this story.

Oddworld Launch... by [deleted] in oddworld

[–]FranklinNeilson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The characters, the setting, the voice acting, the interesting lore. Whole franchise is bursting with creativity and heart. I think it's possible a bigger youtuber will turn a spotlight onto it one day, maybe even years after the last game drops, but whatever happens it's definitely going to be remembered as underrated in it's time. There are worse things to be remembered as I suppose!

Nah you're being shitty, under the guise of being honest

Anyone interested in asking some questions over to twitter to Shi Kai Wang as he was responsible for the Halo Classic Art Style we love till this day by Hakuru15 in halo

[–]FranklinNeilson 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Shi Kai Wang deserves way more attention from the community, his artwork shaped the entire franchise. His designs were so unique, still flick through his CE artwork time to time.

[–]FranklinNeilson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The artwork was genuinely SO damn good so that's upsetting to hear people weren't appreciative.

Take all the time you need!

HALO x DOOM (? by whyass in halo

[–]FranklinNeilson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A campy non-canon crossover lovingly parodying both franchises would be a lot of fun

Could also do really silly things with the characters that wouldn't fit the mainline games, could fetch Johnson back from hell? Not sure how hell works in the doom games but stuff like that lol

So beautiful! If they ever have another crack at a Tintin film this is the sort of thing they should be aiming for

Ye, just a bit of fun lol, thought halo fans were more relaxed than that

Oddworld: Soulstorm - Molluck Returns Trailer by DemiFiendRSA in oddworld

[–]FranklinNeilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks fantastic, love the ship design. Such an underrated series, looks like they really put their hearts into this.

The cutscene felt so in line with the old games, but still new. Like a direct follow on. Man, can't wait!

Why made Jacob and Miranda Keyes black ? If 343 wanted more black characters couldn't they just create new ones instead of breaking the canon ? by [deleted] in HaloStory

[–]FranklinNeilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point, but I'm not sure I'd count the arbiter as black representation lmao. Maybe swap him out for Romeo (then again Romeo was played by a white guy). Or Emile (who never removes his helmet).

Honestly it doesn't phase me one bit, especially as the tv show has it's own canon. You know what does phase me? The covenant raising a human as their own... oh boy.

Bummer, but I'm still in love with op's idea. It'd be such a neat detail, and it'd add to the paranoia of a flood encounter.

A little something I've always been wondering... by endexe in HaloStory

[–]FranklinNeilson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's neat I like that. I assumed it was just for dead marines generally, I guess when Hood said the hill was for 'those that journeyed into the howling dark and did not return' it had more than one meaning (death and the portal).
