Talk:Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

Side scrolling?

This game isn't side scrolling. And it can't be, as it is "split into screens" as the article sais. 84.0.117.134 (talk) 17:36, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

The article on side-scrolling defines this as characters moving from left to right across the screen. In that respect, at least, this game could be defined as side-scrolling. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 18:43, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

In order to call a game side-scroller, it needs to scroll. Just the character(s) moving is not scrolling. --Mika1h (talk) 20:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't matter either way. The world won't end because it doesn't scroll. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 07:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

What? --Mika1h (talk) 09:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm saying that I don't really mind if you remove the reference to side-scrolling. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 11:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 05:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

QuikSave

Someone just attempted to spell-correct QuikSave to QuickSave. The Oddworld developers spelled it QuikSave (see [[1]] and an [page from an earlier version of Oddworld.com]). Wil (talk) 17:43, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

My game manual spells it "QuikSave" as well (not really a point of reference, but it rules out any inconsistencies). Based on all the evidence, QuikSave should be the spelling used throughout the article. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:13, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Oddworld: Soulstorm

Should Oddworld: Soulstorm be mentioned here? Soulstorm is a remake of Exoddus... Visokor (talk) 15:06, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Fan content

Currently, a subsection on an incomplete and unremarkable fangame keeps being repeatedly added to this article. The paragraph is poorly written, reading as if written by an overzealous fan, and its only two references are a YouTube video and a blog run by the developer. Fan content generally doesn't belong on Wikipedia, unless it meets specific notability criteria. It is not a place to cover or advertise your work. I've already reverted this twice in the past few hours and have repeatedly explained why in the edit summary. I also recall this was added a couple of years ago and it was reverted under the same guidelines. Please stop adding this unless you can find a justifiable reason to cover such an obscure piece of content. Moozipan Cheese (talk) 20:41, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
