I think perhaps you were mostly put-off by the in-game footage that was shown, and by the comments Ed Fries made.
The footage shown was very early, animation, lighting, etc. was not yet fine tuned. The game will most definitely become more in touch with Oddworld as the production progresses. You might get a better idea what the game will look like by checking out the FMV's, but with obviously less detailed graphics. Oddworld is not becoming an FPS, only when Steef takes out his crossbow will it go to that view.
Ed Fries over-simplified many of the games aspects, calling it a western FPS. Steef and the town are only based off of western culture, not mirror images. A lot of what Ed said was only speculation, we don't know if they are actually leaving puzzles behind.
Also, many of the characters and ideas are going to change, and probably some already have. Everything that was shown was a year old, so I wouldn't expect to see the same today.
By the way Max, Munch's Oddysee was not a bad game in general to lots of people, EGM gave it Xbox game of the year, OXM gave it a 9.0, Tech TV gave it five stars, etc. Munch's Oddysee was much more of a bad game in the Oddworld series. Like Lorne said, it got a lot of acclaim and won many awards, but it wasn't up to Oddworld's standards (dissapointing many fans). It has to do with opinion, so I don't understand why you find it hard to believe that people like it.
We don't have much to go by, I think it's a little too early to be so overly critical.

Not to be rude or anything, but Mojo, EGM gave Halo game of the year out of all systems, game of the month for all systems, and game of the year xbox, plus platinum editors choice award. and straight 10.0. I also recommend anyone who wishes to see all game awards for xbox games, head over to xbox.com for the full list of hall of fame for xbox.
Munchs oddysee still got editors gold choice award, and 9.0 from EGM though. Just thought I correct you on that though.
But yes, I did like MO, but of course it wasnt my favorite oddworld game, I still like AE and AO the best.
As for right now, I cant really say whether I really know my opinion yet on the new game. I am excited to be finding out new stuff, or seeing new stuff. But I want to see where the game is right now.
