would have been awesome if they kept the light grey armor plating. the all black just sort of looks boring...

Holy shit. Remember those Iron Man leaks? How he looked very cool, except for plasticky look?
Well, take out the very cool part.

it probably looks more robotic when filming.
i like it. i think solid black with a bright red visor looks pretty iconic

No way. That can't be it. It's terrible.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I can't believe this shit. I'm dying here. How did they think this was a good suit? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
That's not iconic. It's generic. The original suit is iconic.
I was thinking the same thing, to me it doesn't look bad but hardly "Robocop", it reminded me of those suits on G.I. Joe, I mean, really? Robocop suit? It was not a suit, it was a robot FFS

So basically Robocop is now Batman.

The best thing about this, is that on the eve of it's release we'll get a GOOD Blu-Ray version of the original Robocop, instead of the shitty version that's out currently. The same thing happen this year with another Paul Verhooven classic Total Recall and it's slick, mediocre reboot.

The helmet is fine, but the problem is that the numerous small overlays and lack of color distinction on the articulations makes it look like a suit. Also the material looks rubbery, maybe it will look better in the movie.
I think an update can work fine, he's probably going to be even fast and able to run or jump. That's fine, it's basically supposed to be a super cop, but it must feel like it is a machine. That's all that really must be preserved: a ghost of a man in a police robot.
Maybe it will feel better in a trailer, but so far I don't feel like the chances are good.

Theres a disconnect between the suit and the visor.

Will withhold judgement until I see it in a trailer and not just the guy walking around in between takes.
Edit: couldn't this also be the suit he has before he up grades to 2.0?

Give him a cape and you'll have Batman

The new helmet looks like it covers more of his face, so we'll probably see him with it open more often, which would negate the emotional impact of finally seeing it exposed like in the original (I'm projecting here). It doesn't look as machine-like as the original. I want to hear gears working and see exposed pistons!
It's only iconic because of time. The original suit looked good and, well, original. This literally looks like (rejected) art design from Crysis or Mass Effect.

i cant think of the last solid black robotic machine with a bright red visor ive seen.
and yeah, pretty much. any criticisms about the texture of it are kinda pointless at this point.

What if they Predator - Ultimate Hunter Edition us? My heart can only take so much pain!
Take off the visor and would you be able to tell it apart from any other suit/robot from a recent movie?

well, that doesn't look like Robocop. This trying to make things modern sucks the charm out of many things 
It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't seem like Robocop.
It looks kind of like Iron Man, GI Joe. A little generic looking.

yeah, its all black. very iphone. every recent robotic character ive seen has been bright metallic.

I am reminded of the LOST IN SPACE movie's take on Robby.
Blecch.

if you appeal to much to nostalgia you might as well not do a remake :\
It doesn't look like a robotic machine. It looks like Commander Shephard out for a stroll.

The visor most definitely does. Are people in bothering to look at the images?

What? Of course you can take away the visor. They took away the visor in the original movie and RoboCop was not lost. The body is still very iconic. Hell, you could tell it was RoboCop just by seeing his foot coming out of the car.
This is just another lazy, generic design.

in off set stills sure.
Exactly. They throw the baby out with the bath water in these redesigns.

The helmet/visor is the only good thing about that costume

My thoughts exactly. I actually really like the helmet. But yeah. Could use some silver highlights in there too.
It doesn't look anything like that hideous crap.

Reminds me of a futuristic Batsuit from the Nolan movies. Don't care for the color, wish it stayed sliver, but that would be the nostalgia talking.
