New Robotech soundtrack will be a 3CD set and fans want to hear the guitar solo from "We will win"

New Robotech soundtrack is from the 24 Track STEREO masters.

Now playing a clip from the 1986 Robotech: The Movie that will also be on the @AETV DVD

Robotech: The Sentinels will be on the @AETV Box Set on DVD and the footage will be digitally cleaned up.

The Robotech episodes with the original sound and music mix will be available on @AETV DVD in Oct.

The original Macross Pilot has a opening song in English.

Now showing a clip of the original Macross Pilot with Tony playing Rick Yamata.

The new Robotech New Generation RPG cover was just debuted to fans here at NDK

Palladium books has New Generation RPG manuscript approved and it will come out in the large format. No more Manga sizes.

Akvia Goldsman, Tobey Maguire and Jason Netter are attached to the live action robotech movie from Warner Brothers.

Lawarence Kasdan, Alfred Gough, Miles Millar and Tom Rob Smith are the current writers on the live action robotech movie.

No mention of the sidequel yet we continue to get old, reiterated news of the LAM? What's up with that?

I think Kevin said recently that there would be more news/info on the sidequel in December. Guess there must be a news blackout on it until then lol.


So now Sentinels is just digitally cleaned up, what happened to it being "remastered"?

Anyone have the cover art for the new Palladium TNG sourcebook, if so could someone post it?

Did they mean Palladium and HG have both approved the TNG RPG manuscript, or is it still waiting on HG?

Any mention of the status for SR or is it still not waiting on the LAM?

Still, you would think they would spend a few minutes talking about the sidequel since the cons are the "best" way to promote these projects. And regarding SR, why even mention it when it's probably not gonna be released for years if ever. And don't worry about not getting a remastered Sentinels. I'm sure we'll see it in the next box set re-re-re-re-re-release.

EPIC FAIL AT NDK

Passing the time in broken elevator at NDK ... thank goodness for Steve Jobs.


At least everyone had their smartphones while stuck in a service elevator.

UPDATE FROM TOMMY


www.robotech.com/community/forum/read.ph...31&pagenumber=7#post


Hello again everyone. Now that NDK has wrapped, we have another round of updates and responses:

* A&E has completed authoring the DVDs and is now manufacturing them for release on October 18, 2011.
* Codename: Robotech, the extended version of the "Gloval's Report" recap episode, will not be part of the bonus disc set. However, Carl Macek's audio commentary about the making of Robotech has been adapted for inclusion with the alternate March 1985 version of the The Macross Saga episodes.
* To clarify, the alternate March 1985 version of the Robotech episodes are not the old audio mix that had been previously released on home video up until the ADV Legacy box sets. This is an even older version of the episodes that had been released for the original broadcast only in spring 1985 and had never been released on DVD.
* There are challenges to transferring from the original film reels to HD, one being that the footage was originally filmed in 16mm, not 35mm, so the materials have much more grain which would be pronounced in HD resolution. Therefore, this is something we're still working on -- the ideal is for the restoration technology to improve and costs to come down to hit a sweet spot for consumers.
* For those of you who prefer the older mono sound effects over the 5.1 mix, audio engineer Bob LaCivita has recommended turning down all the left/right/surround channels on your 5.1 surround tuner and leaving on only the center channel. For a little more "impact" to the playback, you can optionally leave on the subwoofer channel.
* An abridged version of Robotech: The Untold Story (the 1986 animated movie first released by Cannon Films) is confirmed to be part of this bonus disc set. Rather than being a loose collection of scenes minus the Megazone footage, it has undergone some editorial work to be a somewhat more cohesive standalone feature.
* An updated version of Robotech: The Sentinels is confirmed to be part of this set. It is a new edit that adds some new footage and trims others (mostly flashbacks) based on advice left by Carl Macek, as well as being digitally remastered.
* The audio of the updated version of the Sentinels is a conservative cleanup and noise removal of the original stereo track with no changes to the sound effects. The Spanish audio track will also be included.
* The English-language Macross television pilots (featuring the Robotech cast) will include both the 30-minute version previously released by ADV and the extended 70-minute version that had last been released on VHS and Beta in 1984.
* Other extras include new galleries, music videos, and other bonus video clips.

Definitely interested to the new edit of Sentinels and how they put together The Movie footage without Megazone 23. Still, it's not enough to make me want to buy another DVD set. Even the documentary doesn't make me excited for this release. Guess I'll wait for the Blu-Ray since I'm sure it'll be released before the LAM.
