The human characters are damned cool, but I'll be damned if I want to see them on Oddworld. I want to see Oddworldian races on Oddworld, creatures with the same design ingenuity as Scrabs, Paramites, Vykkers, Sligs, Glukkons …

Those are basically my feelings. I like the design with the weird bird thing than, say,
this. Why? Because it's an original, Oddworld-ish creature, not some plain humanoid form decked out in the latest cliche'd full-body robot suit. And hey, that's not to say I don't like games with guys covered in armor toting big guns. But it's not the sort of thing I want to see Oddworld doing.
Do I think FPS, in particular, is the wrong direction for Oddworld? No. I loved Stranger's Wrath as much as I loved Abe's Oddysee. But I don't want to see them using bland character designs and falling into the more cliche'd areas of whatever genre they choose to use for their games.
Originality is key.
