What I think happened was that Munch's Oddysee was going to be this big, tremendous, awesome game that would be awesome. What we got was a last minute mishmash of halfway developed ideas.
It was my first Oddworld game, so at the time I thought nothing of it ... didn't, in fact, know what everyone had been anticipating.
As far as breeding critters, it seems they've done away with it completely (though sort of borrowed the idea in SW). And I believe that what they promised at the end of AE was that we would find out about Abe's mom when he met Munch, not neccesarily meet Sam. And if you listened to the Shaman in the first level after the Lulu fund was started, you see that a glukkon was trying to make a new Rupture Farms at the Meep ranch. So, OWI kinda kept their promises. Just not in they way they originally meant to.
