I've got nothing wrong with Oddworld being semi-first person shooter. I don't really think Oddworld's soul lies in the main characters being at the bottom of the food chain, that just seems to be a hero-attribute of the Quintology. Similarly, Oddworld would get quite dull and boring if we just had puzle-solving situations and rescuing characters via bird portals and so on - not everyone will have the same story to tell. Oddworld's gotta be more interesting that the same basic story template, and like other people have said, this game will just be different from previous games.
