Canada represent!
Uniform looks... okay. As long as it looks badass in the film. Picture of him in the robe on the other hand... that's odd.

Looks better, but still cheap because of the way all the plates overlay. Too much spacing, which makes it look like a suit. But still better.
Still waiting for the trailer to see how it turns out.
Seems to me they gave him a bit of a Blackwater feel.
Dumb poster, I don't even know what I'm looking at.
A new Braun razor.

When I was in India, I watched some Russian dubbed French Robocop show. I dunno if it was the Canadian show or what, but it was so goddamn terrible. The worst shot show I'd ever seen. Such terrible acting. There were two Robocops fighting each other and then one fell into some water and got fried.
It was amazing.
The canadian show was in English
Acting was fairly bad cuz it was made with a lot of canadian actors ya never heard of and it was at times, not big on violence and campy
There was never 2 robocops... I have the whole show on dvd
In the Canadian made miniseries, Robocop: Prime Directive, there was another Robocop, Robocable, who wielded two Auto-9s. I think that you have the TV series on DVD.
And the new suit, and ED-209 look absolutely generic and awful.
This is the one I am referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop:_The_Series

Ha! If they use the tagline "Half-dude. Half-suit. All Cop." the new armor design will automatically be forgiven.
I think that's what they're gonna do. Wouldn't be surprised if he's just a dude in a suit that enhances his human abilities. A true cyborg.
Also, HE BETTER HAVE HIS LEG GUN HOLSTER!!!!
Needs DiCaprio face.

This remake should really
Clearly they heard NEOGaf's reaction to the new suit and wanted to hide er up
That actually looks kind of cool, as in some strange human attachment to clothing even when he's a walking pile of steel.

How far in the future does this movie take place? The original suit did and still does look like the kinda cyborg tech we would see in the near future. This suit looks like space age stuff.

Those look like regular ol' animatronics. How about videos of combat robots used today? That would be a better comparison since Robocop is suppossed to be made for war/policing rather than just a regular android.

Well that's more in line with something like the terminator but I see what you're getting at.
Still, Robocop was supposed to be something of a human tank that could even withstand rockets. If in the next 10-15 years they were going to graft a human head onto a humanoid cyborg body (for combat purposes) I would expect it to still be more in line with the original Robocop design. I guess for the new suit they'll explain that away with the old "newly constructed space age polymer" routine?
Edit: Finished thoughts
You kidding rigth?

Len Wiseman is not a good director, though. Jose Padilha is.
Looks terrible.
As far as I'm concerned, he hasn't proven his ability to direct big budget action movies.
I watched Robocop some time ago, and yesterday I watched Robocop 2. I still have to say this new design sucks.
The original suit looks so great in the movies. For example the feet. There was a real good close up shot in Robocop 2, and even the feet look great. Not too big, and nicely shaped. Yes, the sound effects are great as well. With every move Murphy makes. Look at the boots on the new design. Just doesn't look right. I'm also wondering if this new Robocop dude is actually going to move like he is a robot. Peter Weller did an excellent job with that. Even little things like the way he moves his head and stuff.

Actually he doesn't move like a robot, since he's human. He moves like a human trying to remotely control a robot.

Although I prefer the "OG" Robocop design, I'm willing to give this new one a chance.
One of my problems with remakes is how often don't offer an experience different from the original. It appears that this version of Robocop is at the least trying to be different and I'm not going to dismiss it yet.
Hell, I'm even hoping that Clarence Boddicker isn't even in this movie, what's the point of seeing someone rehash what Kurtwood Smith already did?

That fucking robe is cracking me up. I mean what are they trying to hide at this point?
Poor Padhilla. He can't win. He should just run away from this clusterfuck.

This is pathetic, why even try. If they put this much effort into the design of the suit, they wouldn't be in this mess.
I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw raw on-set photos of an actor in costume and it looked good. Like, ever. They're never flattering in any sense, to the actor or the costume.
So I'm indifferent on the suit right now obviously, I'll form on opinion when I see it in motion. As blasphemous as this may sound, I think the original RoboCop looked pretty terrible as well. The movie was awesome and Peter Weller managed to make it awesome, but I never found the original to be some bastion of amazing character design. I mean, the helmet/visor looked cool, but everything else just looked painfully awkward. I look at it now and think "Yep...that looks like something designed in the 80's." Granted when I look at this new one, I think "Yep...that looks like something designed in 2012".
I'm more curious if there will be any CGI enhancements made to the new suit.

Hell no it doesn't. The second picture looks like a robot, the new Robocop looks like a guy in a plastic suit. They should've just CGI'd the thing, would've looked way better. What's up with you fanboying this crap?

Detroit must not be that bad in the future if the police can afford this type of shit.

What!? Sacrilege. Detroit is even more perfect today than it was back then.

Robocop doesn't use excessive Force
Or Detroit for all matters.
