I like that line in the middle of the second column of the newspaper at 1:04:23 that says "So what's it gonna be tomorrow, aliens?". It's a little reminder that, despite the fact that the people of Oddworld were obviously designed to look like what we would call "space aliens" (What with the big heads, bulging eyes, and different amounts of limbs and digits), there isn't any actual "space travel" in Oddworld; so the concept of "space aliens" is as wild to them as it is to us.
I watched a few episodes from a series named the 'Orville', so this concept aint that much of a farfetched scenario for developing worlds like Oddworld!
@@videogollumer as in, even though there's like- futuristic worlds whom achieved space travel, there are other planets that are like ours! As in 21st century technology n'shit
@@johantorres8105 You're missing the point entirely. I'm saying that the idea of space aliens being real is as ludicrous for the various peoples of Oddworld as it is for us on Earth. To us, space aliens are pure science fiction; but the same is true of space aliens to Mudokons, Glukkons, Sligs, etc.
I like how the Abe and his friends are constantly scared or confused, it really helps selling the fact they're not heroes. They don't know what they're doing, and that makes them weary about the next step. Because they just escaped slavery, and the thought of going back to it is constantly haunting them.
They're not underpowered, the Good Ending says it all, Abe's power is unlocked and the Slids get toasted on the way in. But like I said, Abe doesn't know how to use it. He's scared and confused, and after meeting the Keepers, things get way worse. He may look like the hero of the story, but to himself, he's not a hero, he's just another worker who managed to be lucky enough to escape the factory.
Fr that's what keeps me coming back. How does something so fearful and panicked keep it together long enough to make it through this nightmare? Type stuff.
Been playing these games since I was a kid. Still can't get over how great all these cutscenes are and how the dark story a lines its self with our own world...
I'm honestly surprised when he asked, "was she hot?" And Abe responded "she was the oldest thing I've ever seen!" That he didn't say "my question still stands"
58:06 is my favorite scene in the whole game. It was awesome to see the Sligs get a genuine win on their own. I made the same gesture when they secured their deal. I mean, I get we're not supposed to like the Sligs, but the stories displayed them as a slave race similar to the Mudokons.
Slugs are as much as slaves as the Muddokin, because the Slig were essentially drafted into servitude since birth and forced to be mutilated in the process. However due to their sadistic nature they love serving the Glukkons because they give them weapons and other creatures fire upon them. Still Slugs can be as greedy as Glukkons and from what can you see if you cross a Slig, better prey he isn't with backup
I know, I wanted to cradle him; he never asked to be messiah, to bare all this responsibility He just wants to rest, in a world where nobody is trying to kill his people
I like how mullock takes a major L regardless of the ending. in one path he is forced to being a group of soldiers to a private island (with the only real W for him being that he is forgotten about) and in the other he is a "on the run" convict living on a paradise island with a mouthy idiot of a subordinate.
@@SymbolsWriter I thought mullock just beat the crap out of him as a "punishment". I highly doubt molluck (or any glukkon for that matter) knows how to drive a blimp.

I know the name "Oddworld" and I know the name "Abe" I have never played an Oddworld game... I've never seen someone play an Oddworld game... I've never heard voices from an Oddworld game but holy crap this game is gorgeous!

What Abe so on that Pillar when he puts his hands on those tablets, os quite disturbing... For those who dont know (spoilers ahead by the way). In the past both Muddokins and Glukken were allies, and both share a deep spiritual connection to nature and to one another. However all changed when they notice that one of the moons had creaters resembling the Mudokkin hand print, and aince then the Muddokins called themselves the "Chosen Race", which anger the Glukken and their evolutionary cousins, because since that day they two races stop being equals. In fact the Glukken and his evolutionary cousins left the Muddokin lands and hid themselves in deep dark caves just so they never saw the moon nor the Muddokin again. In those caves the Glukken and their cousins dwelved in dark magic and they eventually developed technology. With the development of Technology the Glukken aroae from their caves and devolp their civilizations, which lead to trading with other races susch as Vaykkers and the Cluckerz. Eventually they also meet the barely sentient Sligs who where weak and cowarly races that barely survived in the swamps, but had a sadistic mentality when forced to defend thmselves. So the Glukken saw in them a useful force, thus they tricked the Slig Queen and began to shower her with riches and technology and in exchange she will give her young ones to be mutilated and brainwashed into becoming the Glukkens military enforcers. After that they decided to take revenge on the Muddokins, but not in the way you think. They arrieved in peace in attempt to onve again by friends, rhus rhe gave many gifts to the Muddokins, even though some were still to arrogant or question their old allies motives, most accepted the gifts with Glee. In time the Muddokins startted to become too dependant on the Glukken and this one startted to demand payment for their products, so the Muddokin gave away all their riches, then all their land. Eventually rhe Muddokin had nothing to give as payment for more technology, thus the Glukken convinced them to work for them to be paid and thua buy more of their products, and thats when the teap was set... The Muddokin were then enslaved, and the Muddokin Queen forced to breed more and more Muddokins to be born as slaves and to forever work in factories, all while their ancestral homea and culture were deatroyed with great joy by the Glukken with the excuse to create more factories to supply more demands for their products. The great shame of the Muddokin is that they sold themselves into slavery. Thst why the keeper says to Abe rhat her firgive them, for all the pain their anceatora cost their descendants.
Goddamn, honestly i need to play this game soon cause you just sold me on gettin it. Tragic, dark and sad tho! but man this is actually good written lore.
I still wish the cutscenes could be seen in-game, just like old times! However this is still amazin', I can't get enough of these gorgeous cutscenes! I can only hope the next game follows this style! Thank you~ 💜💛

38:45 This moment where Abe is given the knowledge of his ancestors definitely leaves us with a lot of theories as to what he saw in the memories of the fossilized mudokons. We already know one of the things Abe saw in reguards of Sam's whereabouts and where she is, but there is so much we could learn from them like the origins of the Magog Cartel and the enslavement of the mudokons. Hopefully we'll get our answers to these in the next entry of the quintology, hopefully will get moments where Abe would get visions to what happened all those years ago.
I love observing Mudokon eyes, how iresis shake so realisticly while changing focus or when they are scared. Masterpiece of animation and hellova story with magnificent world building. I knew about this game and precious Abe since very begining. I never played it but I knew bits and pieces of lore from computer games magazines... yes that long time ago. I forgot about it, and then I saw this wonder and I fell inlove.
1:08:01 Nah, even if Abe got to the extingisher, A: Toby hit the fucking ceiling so hard (meaning not only dead but like 85% of the fan base is gone), B: They would've had horrific burns, C: That army of sligs still would've been there since the amulet died, and D: train ain't got no gas no moe.
Btw in original series after Abe's Exodus(Original that Soulstorm based on) goes Munch's Oddysey in which Abe gaines as ally in form of Latamire Much The Last Gabbit of Oddworld(basically an oddworld half-fish, half-amphibia) and last part of the game is about Munch and Abe saving eggs of each other species(to be exact the last can of Gabbiar and Mudokons eggs). The thing is it is possible that the next game(if developers will make Munch's Oddyssey a triquel) might feature Mudokon's Queen. Probably not RFR(Rupture Farms Refugees) mother, but still!
I have never played one of these games. But my God these are some of the best visuals I've ever seen in my life. Like the art direction and graphic fidelity is just perfect. This is gonna age well in the visual department for sure.
One thing I was glad they changed was the brew. It used to be made out of mudokon bones. Now its just a strong drug they were given to keep them working.
Dont quote me on this, but i think it was actually confirmed that he was, in fact, a Wolvark, since they were originally intended to be in the game but were cut in development
I finally got Oddworld Soulstorm on PlayStation 5 now. And man this game is amazing 🤩 Edit: Also you guy's should make a movie. It would be pretty cool to see it ^_^
1:08:40 I've always loved how unimpressed and unshocked the Slig is. Despite how catastrophic the explosion is, and how many lives were lost in the initial explosion including the lives lost as the fire spreads to every other connected factory, the Slig just delivers his line "Oh wooow..." so sarcastically. On top of that, I also love the small detail of the Slig's eye looking over at Molluck a couple of times as if he doesn't care about the explosion and is just wondering what Molluck's next plan will be. The Slig is just interested in getting the job done and getting paid, doesn't matter what's in between.
When will we get another game? I'm so excited, I have just started soulstorm ( just got a ps4) and I love it. And will we ever get a show? I'll pay top dollar to see an oddworld show
I never played any of the odd world games but when I started seeing these cutscenes on UA-cam I instantly got hooked on the style and the glukkons it was just so refreshingly creative wish they made more games like this, I guess the gameplay kinda sucked but I personally can’t compare it to the other games just feels like any other plat former to me
When Abe's oddaseey for the ps1 first came out the ps1 was flooded with 1st gen 3d games, this style of side scroller was very old, with the clanky movement that felt like the original Prince Persia game in 1989. The lore and concept art really layed the foundation for the series and I often wonder how good donkey kong would had been on the ps1 if they didn't try to make their game 3d.
Maybe Abe’s mother stitched his mouth because his voice has an incredible power only to be undo by himself alone when the right time came to bring balance back to the world somehow.
I’m not sure if this is the case, but it looks like the cutscenes are in 60FPS? I’m not sure if that was the best choice for this game tbh, makes it less cinematic than the incredible animation team deserve
There are sections where you have to save fleeing/injured allies. I think the karma system in this game is dependent on your drive to save them/spend time searching for them
not even the VILLAINS win in it, since the Brewmaster, Morguer, Aslik, the chauffer slig, and countless Glukkons and Sligs in the factories connected to the brewery are dead, and Mullock has lost his only hope of clearing his name and is forced to flee to the Yamins as a fugitive
Oddworld Inhabitants, I can't find Leorne Lanning anywhere on facebook. The Oddworld soul storm no work. My computer big he can't play it. Still remaing at the same old two games. I love LEORNE LANNING for creating Abe Odysee and Abe Exoddus. Tell him from me i love him!!!
would been neat with one more glukon in the scene , so that ehh , morgul is the bone digging more critical thinking one right ? ..could have arrived for a three way hallway greating outside the doors , only unlike the others more quantity over quality secutiry , he only have two slicks but it be SERIOUSLY hardwared ones and then when the brew master and the others wants to cling to the ''modukas cant beat ouer species ever its 'impossible' ..morgus just go 'all facts & evidence says otherwise ,i am out of here my slicks call the blip its emergency extraction time to trade more sharp minded report to the cartel for ouer hides and ehm.. financial recovery aid'' , ergho cue him doing a bad ass vader style departure as his blip forces open some maintance door and has him boarding before the others that underpayed their merc security tastes karma
why is abe such a wuss? this is an entirely different person. you gave him depression and anxiety. Abe went from Gen X personality to Gen Z twitter user
Abe has always been a lucky coward, he never set out to be a hero but by doing the right thing he finds himself becoming the hero. In the first game if you save all the slaves they come back and save you, or talk about what a bad guy you are and do nothing if you don't save them.
@@videogollumer not sure if you know, but if you 100% Abe's Exoddus, you'll get a teaser for Munch's Oddysee, Soulstorm isn't an original vision, it's a cop out
@@videogollumer because it was a bonus game, not part of the main story, Lanning said the Quintology was to consist of Oddysee titles, any Exoddus title was considered a bonus game, so trying to catch me out like that was silly Just admit that he doesn't know where to go with the story and Soulstorm was a cop out
@@beelzeboss42 You're only making your argument even weaker. This is the original vision for the story of Abe's Exoddus specifically. That's what Lorne Lanning meant.
@@inferno_bro3366 because the game is fking shit. They could have made a masterpiece worked on it doe 8 years but made this crap. "Its a revision How exoddus should have been" yeah right its far worse rhan that
But the game is fun to play and is so beautiful, the amount of work out in the game shows up ( besides the bugs at launch but most of them where fixed). I watched a yt video on why soulstorm is so controversial, exoddus took what oddysee had and just expanded it, where soulstorm added new features and didn't just make old ones bigger. It does feel a bit much when you look at the first great games but soulstorm overall is fun to play. Yes it's not as good as the classic ps1 games. And I do miss the scrabs and paramites, but it's still a good game.
@@inferno_bro3366 well glad you like it your one of the first i hear that do. All people i hear, know and loved the first 2 or 4 games also dislike/hate this game so its definetly not a experience that only i have. But yeah glad we had the first great games back in the great 90s and i better just keap with these memorys and stop hoping. forget about this and dont waste any more time on this one and future oddworld projects.
I think the game engine is what killed this one for me. Initial bugs aside, its so frustrating to play compared to the originals tight controls. I'm sad that i had to watch the cutscenes on youtube to find out the story. I refuse to play the game because it should be fun and not overwhelmingly infuriating. If they keep with the engine and this type of gameplay.. then i wish they'd just scrap it all and make movies of the story progression.
God, the SuperSeed animators all deserve medals. This is such a gorgeously animated game.
As Lord Hater once said- "ANIMATIONS IS SO HARD! PEOPLE WHO DO THIS FOR A LIVING DESERVE MORE CREDIT AND RESPECT!"
This game deserves more attention with the story on Hold to find their MOM at the MOM News Station in Lalybad
Not gunna lie, the Airship Captain Slig is my favorite, dude has his priorities straight lol.

I love observing Mudokon eyes, how iresis shake so realisticly while changing focus or when they are scared. Masterpiece of animation and hellova story with magnificent world building.
I knew about this game and precious Abe since very begining. I never played it but I knew bits and pieces of lore from computer games magazines... yes that long time ago. I forgot about it, and then I saw this wonder and I fell inlove.
1:08:01 Nah, even if Abe got to the extingisher, A: Toby hit the fucking ceiling so hard (meaning not only dead but like 85% of the fan base is gone), B: They would've had horrific burns, C: That army of sligs still would've been there since the amulet died, and D: train ain't got no gas no moe.
Btw in original series after Abe's Exodus(Original that Soulstorm based on) goes Munch's Oddysey in which Abe gaines as ally in form of Latamire Much The Last Gabbit of Oddworld(basically an oddworld half-fish, half-amphibia) and last part of the game is about Munch and Abe saving eggs of each other species(to be exact the last can of Gabbiar and Mudokons eggs). The thing is it is possible that the next game(if developers will make Munch's Oddyssey a triquel) might feature Mudokon's Queen. Probably not RFR(Rupture Farms Refugees) mother, but still!
I watched this yesterday... Thought about it all day . I need more. This needs to be a show or a movie. The animation is just too good.
This is the Oddworld Movie I needed
Molluck saying "Do it" is just so funny to me
I have never played one of these games. But my God these are some of the best visuals I've ever seen in my life. Like the art direction and graphic fidelity is just perfect. This is gonna age well in the visual department for sure.
And the animation including the lip sync is superb.
Thank you so much! 😭
42:42
Abe’s asking all the important questions 😂
thats not Abe
One thing I was glad they changed was the brew. It used to be made out of mudokon bones. Now its just a strong drug they were given to keep them working.
48:33 DUDE IS THAT A WOLVARK?!
Well, it's definitely not a Slig.
Stranger confirmed?
Dont quote me on this, but i think it was actually confirmed that he was, in fact, a Wolvark, since they were originally intended to be in the game but were cut in development
@@armintor2826 In Abe's Exoddus or in Soulstorm?
@@videogollumersoulstorm. In some old scene pictures wolvarks are seen and they were supposed to be at the end of the game
i never knew they made a 2nd game and wow is it amazing
Wait until you find out about the other games.
There’s like four
The very original for the PS1 has amazing cutscenes as well, every game is great to look at
Simply phenomenal.
I love how freaking stupid the business men are in this story.
Ah yes the most iconic part of the game 9:36
I finally got Oddworld Soulstorm on PlayStation 5 now. And man this game is amazing 🤩
Edit: Also you guy's should make a movie. It would be pretty cool to see it ^_^
I never noticed first time playing the game that the little bug in abes necklace talks it really cool finding it out now
The animation is gorgeous
Slig Pilot is awesome.
I love him to bits XD
The bad ending is horrific
Though it still means the brewery is fucked either way lol
40:14 he needs a hug. Badly
Toby in the back after Alf asked if the keeper was hot always gets me 🤣
1:08:40 I've always loved how unimpressed and unshocked the Slig is. Despite how catastrophic the explosion is, and how many lives were lost in the initial explosion including the lives lost as the fire spreads to every other connected factory, the Slig just delivers his line "Oh wooow..." so sarcastically.
On top of that, I also love the small detail of the Slig's eye looking over at Molluck a couple of times as if he doesn't care about the explosion and is just wondering what Molluck's next plan will be. The Slig is just interested in getting the job done and getting paid, doesn't matter what's in between.
Nice Animated Cinematics! Just like Similar of Assault Android Cactus Games Reference! :)
40:56 TellTale Walking Dead fans seeing Lee die at the end of season 1
Just realized I fucked up the time stamp
That bad ending was really disturbing
The train burn is somehow epic, the fire effect is awesome and also the explosion big boom 1:08:14
When will we get another game? I'm so excited, I have just started soulstorm ( just got a ps4) and I love it. And will we ever get a show? I'll pay top dollar to see an oddworld show
Not for another 6 or 7 years
53:27 OH SHBBIT
worker uprising wow
When get this published?
We need more Oddworld stories!
It always amazeses me that such a silly concept could go so hard & seriously. The Oddworld series is a masterpiece.
Thank you so much! 🥲
This could be a movie by itself
I never played any of the odd world games but when I started seeing these cutscenes on UA-cam I instantly got hooked on the style and the glukkons it was just so refreshingly creative wish they made more games like this, I guess the gameplay kinda sucked but I personally can’t compare it to the other games just feels like any other plat former to me
When Abe's oddaseey for the ps1 first came out the ps1 was flooded with 1st gen 3d games, this style of side scroller was very old, with the clanky movement that felt like the original Prince Persia game in 1989. The lore and concept art really layed the foundation for the series and I often wonder how good donkey kong would had been on the ps1 if they didn't try to make their game 3d.
Maybe Abe’s mother stitched his mouth because his voice has an incredible power only to be undo by himself alone when the right time came to bring balance back to the world somehow.
First Time i see that last ending
Soulstorm is both insane and beautiful
39:05
'' connection established , avatar reinforced husk confirmed , sentient cognition capacity confirmed..
..earth mother mana powered bio hive mind super computer memory transfer initiating , forming neuron surge wave patterns , flowing ''
Abe better be the next doom slayer in the next game please make it happen
24:52 but when we run out
*Were screwed*
1:06:48 me literally 2 seconds after watching this scene when my phone died (I thought 5% would last longer, that was over an hour ago)
Dam im viben 2024
When did this game come out? I feel like I had seen this from way back...
The originals were on ps1
24:17
So iconic
God actually kind of remember there being a game boy version of this
Where’s the good ending
I’m not sure if this is the case, but it looks like the cutscenes are in 60FPS?
I’m not sure if that was the best choice for this game tbh, makes it less cinematic than the incredible animation team deserve
How do you actually get these different endings though?
There are sections where you have to save fleeing/injured allies. I think the karma system in this game is dependent on your drive to save them/spend time searching for them
Yeesh. They didn't play around with that bad ending
not even the VILLAINS win in it, since the Brewmaster, Morguer, Aslik, the chauffer slig, and countless Glukkons and Sligs in the factories connected to the brewery are dead, and Mullock has lost his only hope of clearing his name and is forced to flee to the Yamins as a fugitive
So the brew is the oddworld version of Coca Cola
That other green guy sound like Murderface
did that bug have big ol.... wat
I'm PRETTY SURE those were just leg muscles
What happened with their mom?
Oddworld Inhabitants, I can't find Leorne Lanning anywhere on facebook. The Oddworld soul storm no work. My computer big he can't play it. Still remaing at the same old two games. I love LEORNE LANNING for creating Abe Odysee and Abe Exoddus. Tell him from me i love him!!!
The voices don't really fit at all, but the animation looks great
Oddworld abes oddysee was the forst game i ever played.
When you use the term "conspiracy theory" just know. This the company you keep.
So basically the USA
I'll stick with the good ending.
Good plan 😅
Why so not movie
this game?
Don't no netflix
Fk sick i never know this
would been neat with one more glukon in the scene , so that ehh , morgul is the bone digging more critical thinking one right ? ..could have arrived for a three way hallway greating outside the doors , only unlike the others more quantity over quality secutiry , he only have two slicks but it be SERIOUSLY hardwared ones and then when the brew master and the others wants to cling to the ''modukas cant beat ouer species ever its 'impossible' ..morgus just go 'all facts & evidence says otherwise ,i am out of here my slicks call the blip its emergency extraction time to trade more sharp minded report to the cartel for ouer hides and ehm.. financial recovery aid'' , ergho cue him doing a bad ass vader style departure as his blip forces open some maintance door and has him boarding before the others that underpayed their merc security tastes karma
48:08 Joe Biden handling global politics be like
That's a rather apt way to put it, lol!
why is abe such a wuss? this is an entirely different person. you gave him depression and anxiety.
Abe went from Gen X personality to Gen Z twitter user
Abe has always been a lucky coward, he never set out to be a hero but by doing the right thing he finds himself becoming the hero.
In the first game if you save all the slaves they come back and save you, or talk about what a bad guy you are and do nothing if you don't save them.
Still not the original vision or the way it was intended, Abe's Exoddus proves this
I don't follow your reasoning.
@@videogollumer not sure if you know, but if you 100% Abe's Exoddus, you'll get a teaser for Munch's Oddysee, Soulstorm isn't an original vision, it's a cop out
@@beelzeboss42 And? You're argument is weak. Last I checked, Abe's Exoddus doesn't lead directly into Munch's Oddysee.
@@videogollumer because it was a bonus game, not part of the main story, Lanning said the Quintology was to consist of Oddysee titles, any Exoddus title was considered a bonus game, so trying to catch me out like that was silly
Just admit that he doesn't know where to go with the story and Soulstorm was a cop out
@@beelzeboss42 You're only making your argument even weaker. This is the original vision for the story of Abe's Exoddus specifically. That's what Lorne Lanning meant.
I hope you know you ruined your franchise with that soulstorm crap lorne.
Why/ how? Explain
@@inferno_bro3366 because the game is fking shit. They could have made a masterpiece worked on it doe 8 years but made this crap. "Its a revision How exoddus should have been" yeah right its far worse rhan that
But the game is fun to play and is so beautiful, the amount of work out in the game shows up ( besides the bugs at launch but most of them where fixed). I watched a yt video on why soulstorm is so controversial, exoddus took what oddysee had and just expanded it, where soulstorm added new features and didn't just make old ones bigger. It does feel a bit much when you look at the first great games but soulstorm overall is fun to play. Yes it's not as good as the classic ps1 games. And I do miss the scrabs and paramites, but it's still a good game.
@@inferno_bro3366 well glad you like it your one of the first i hear that do. All people i hear, know and loved the first 2 or 4 games also dislike/hate this game so its definetly not a experience that only i have. But yeah glad we had the first great games back in the great 90s and i better just keap with these memorys and stop hoping. forget about this and dont waste any more time on this one and future oddworld projects.
I think the game engine is what killed this one for me. Initial bugs aside, its so frustrating to play compared to the originals tight controls. I'm sad that i had to watch the cutscenes on youtube to find out the story. I refuse to play the game because it should be fun and not overwhelmingly infuriating.
If they keep with the engine and this type of gameplay.. then i wish they'd just scrap it all and make movies of the story progression.
Impressive movie and fantastic performance of art style
