I think I'm actually one of the few people who liked the Mudokon chatter, but I agree with you on the other points xD
My main hope for the game is that it maintains the same balance of comedy and grim seriousness that makes Oddworld so unique. The world is dark and dreary and the situation is dire--but at the same time, the world is also beautiful, atmospheric, and stuffed to the gills with lore and details, and the characters and conflicts are both hilariously satirical and surprisingly interesting. I'm a sucker for games that pay attention to worldbuilding and storytelling, and I think Oddworld has major potential in both areas.
