Well, I was never expecting it to look THAT much like the original. There should rightfully be some alteration to suit the 21st century, rather than early 90s.
Dead community indeed. Considering how long we had to go without so much as a peep from Rainmaker, I honestly thought this revival was dead in the water. I thought maybe the people at Rainmaker weren't impressed enough with our response to the comic, or that the recession would force them to postpone the movies, if they happened at all.
But NOW, now that we FINALLY have a teaser trailer, we finally have SOME indication that Rainmaker has indeed been busy behind the scenes, which is very encouraging. I'll be obsessing over this little short video like you wouldn't believe. :DD
The teaser trailer, really got me excited for a return of Reboot.
Having been a more than interested fan for many many years, I'm more than hoping it will happen.
From the teaser trailer, it took place in a metropolitan city where skyscrapers seem to fill the sky. (I can only guess it was 'dark' due to the incoming game)
This hints that the show may not be in the Mainframe I'm familiar with, but may also imply its an entirely different set of characters. And possibly a more modern 'technology integrated' type of world.
The original Reboot had a very 'steampunk' or better described as 'compu-punk' driven world. EG> Instead of an escalator, a giant robotic arm might come out and lift people up.
This reboot looks alot darker and frankly has a Matrix style impression. I'm hoping to see ALOT more!
So the movie isn't done by the original creators? Don't get me wrong the teaser has me giggly and excited, but I want to know why this movie is based off of a fan made web comic and not from the original creators. I'd like to know what Megabyte really did with Mainframe not someone else's interriptation of what happened. I would pay the thirty dollars to see it span three movies.
I'm pretty sure they're not basing the movies off the webcomic. According to them, the comic was just a way to grab fans' attention again. I don't know if it's even considered canon.
Still, from all their statements, the movies are NOT going to cover what happened after the end of the show, but that makes me wonder what exactly they ARE planning to do...
The only thing I didn't like was the game itself. It was a box. It didn't seem to be streaming from the sky like it used to (and frankly makes more sense if the User is always downloading them) and it was transparent. Why was it transparent? It can't be transparent. D:
BUT: I'm hoping that maybe one of these games will spoof a strategy game like Starcraft. :3 Hurr.
Don't think so cos in a season 4 ep it shows how he got glitch when kilobyte killed glitch's previous guardian. And he didn't look anything like the guy in that short clip then. The guy looked like a younger version of turbo actualy.
Just the fact that they've put together a teaser, if it's only seconds long, gives me hope. I really thought the whole Revival was just empty words, but they still have to sell it to me. C'mon! Pin down a writer and start assembling some actors and concept art! I live for that kind of stuff!

That Trailer makes me uneasy. Mainly because that doesn't look like Mainframe.

Dinmaster - very good observation. It was indeed Reboot. But here's the thing. Bob no longer has curly/ dreadlocks hair. It's now a flat top.
Another thing, some words flashed on the screen very quickly. If you pause it at the right time, it says "Version 1.0. Loading Guardian"
I'm not sure how I like the redesign. Bob looks a little skinny.

The words "Version 1.0. Loading Guardian" appear in the upper left corner and wraps around on the left side of the screen.
Please wait ...

The new game cube really ~ really bothered me too..
I'm quite against it. I hope that there is a small chance that they'll continue with the long descending cube...

Since none of the original creators are involved, I'm doubtful. I need moer footage to be convinced whether it will be good or not.

Is that official? D: I thought we hadn't heard any real word on that yet. If that's true...I'm going to be very sad...

I hope to God that isn't Bob. If it is it better be about his younger years.
