Title: Robota - Reign of Machines
Post by: Fractux on October 26, 2003, 09:24:14 am

Has anypne else been looking forward to this? I have not heard any news for a while, but I keep checking in on the site. It was supposed to be released this fall, but the site hasn't any news since September.

For info about this, go here (http://www.dchiang.com/flash/robota.html) and click on prologue for the back story.

Cheers!

not sure the second trailer is extreemly cool, but I'm not sure what to expect from this

there, you have one:
I've seen the trailer last year, the renders are cool and all, but the design is rather uninspired to me ( it smells starwars like a cow corpse from 1974 ) and I wonder how they can make out something interesting out of that ( but then again I don't know the plot and it could be the greatest piece of fiction in the history of mankind. What, you don't like irony? :p )

So you're saying that when cow corpses turn 29 they immediately sit up and start talking yoda-ish?
Damn, there goes my sleep for tonight.

the thing is I thought it was going to be a sort of comidy watching the first trailer, with the whole ragtag team of heros and the un-animation

I agree, that there's very little info on the movie itself.

There was the book that was released, and there are some basic revies here on amazon:

also:  http://enotalone.com/books/0811840417.html

It seems to be mixed, 1/3 on each say it was nice visuals, but lacking in story.

I guess it's just another waiting game, as I have yet to have seen this book in indigo or chapters.

Cheers!

Downloading his teasers now, but only because they're reasonably small. ;)
