They need to do a more mainstream story in order to gain the credibilty they need to get support for the production of their Oddysee franchise. This is what they need to do in order to prove that CGI can be used to produce mature films that can be successful. Besides, this is a story of Lorne's, so even though it lacks Oddworlds characters, it will have the same finesse and substance that made the Oddworld stories so compelling.
I say again: this was exactly the same kind of attitude that some fans (including myself) had about Stranger's Wrath when it was announced. This time, I for one will give them the benefit of the doubt, and pledge all my support (not that it'll make much difference).
