Every single time this is mentioned at all in anything involving NnT, all I can wonder is what the fuck else do you expect? It's a remake of the first game, one of which the majority of us love dearly. Skepticism, pessimism, and the whole shebang are to be expected, especially after we've seen the direction Oddworld went after the Abe games.
Frankly, I'd be worried if this general attitude wasn't present. It would mean people just didn't give a fuck, and therefore anyone could pick up the games all willy nilly and butcher them without giving it a second glance.

Or there is the other half that does not give a shiny shite.
I have been in love with Oddworld from a very young age and it has always been one of my favourite games. I am just overjoyed that the series is getting some attention after all this time. Life is too short to pick at extremely small flaws and you will just set yourself up to dislike the game with negative attitudes like that. A lot of you seem to believe that a completely random company with absolutely no knowledge or passion for Oddworld has picked the game up and are just hacking at it, set out to ruin the game for "hardcore" fans. Just Add Water are known for being Oddworld fans, why the hell would they set out to change things in the game to upset fellow fans? Most of their decisions will have reasons behind them.
Chances are the game won't completely live up to the original. What remake ever does? The originals will always have a certain place in your heart which can never be replaced, even by an outstanding remake. Most of that will be nostalgia. If you expect every single feature to live up to your horrendous standards you will never fully enjoy the game. People need to lighten up.
