so do we know how the turtles will look in this one?

I hope they didn't base the "out of the Shadows" models on the movie, because those look terrible.

how come Leo doesn't get pupils

It's a "mature" version of the NIC cartoon so they have normal eyes and "ninja mode" eyes.

From what I understand, no. The turtles are "new yet faithful to the original concept that made them a global hit" whatever that means. Probably that the designs will suck.

wtf is that

New video game featuring A "matured" version of these guys.

Is it bad that I can tell the effects company by the mocap suit styling? ;_;

I don't know who it is, but as a programmer I see those suits and instantly start to think about how I'd reverse-engineer the mocap algorithm the pattern on the suit accomodates.

Then I don't do it because that entire setup probably has both real and software patents out the ass covering it.


I wonder what cost more calculating inflation: the original TMNT1/2/3 outfits or the VFX rig.

I'm almost 100% sure they are.

They haven't announced anything yet, but the game deciding to go "ultra-realistic" seems fishy to me.

I think the first movie had a $13m budget. Whats the budget for this?
 
I just can't see this as being anything but a critical and mostly commercial bomb. I loved the Ninja Turtles as a kid, but I still have zero interest in seeing this.

I realize I'm just one person, but it's hard to imagine Ninja Turtles having mega box office draw.

The rumors talk about that realistic design being the one that they were going in the Adult Alien Ninja Turtles script .... but after that they went for "80's TMNT" design ... so I hope this means a design closer to the original live action movies

Look who appeared in the set !

Or at least she’s been spotted on the set. Geek Tyrant speculates that her role is only a cameo, which makes sense, because if she were going to be a major character surely there would’ve been some sort of casting announcement, right?

I’m not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand: Whoopi Goldberg! Yay! On the other: I will be surprised if the Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles is any good. But hey, if nothing else this bit o’ news has given us a pic of Ms. Goldberg with some truly wondrous hair.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Killing X-Men again at the cinema, Spider-Man, and then TMNT may be a little too much for my inner child to bare.

I enjoyed the Transformers movies though, so I guess I only have myself to blame for letting this happen somehow.
