Yes the designs for the Evangelion 2 game, they are fully armored and more imposing than the originals. Ya know i'd really like to see a complete Evangelion remake not just a remastered edition, I mean really they make a new series that features the Eva 2s they could incorporate the plots of the movies into the series, and could really balance out the series and rework the parts that were blegh.

Why would the Evas need more armour? I mean, they're being protected by the AT Fields anyway.

The new PS2 game is a retelling of the story, so it's probably the closest thing to a true remake we'll ever see, not to mention the manga which I would argue has superior storytelling.

Yes I too enjoy the manga

I think the Evas needed more armor so they wouldn't break their vitals that easily, I mean if they took the best parts from all sides of eva and combined them into one series, they could easily outdo the original. kinda like Ultimate Evangelion

Its not armor, its F-type equipment. It augments the AT Field increasing the EVA's defensive power. Only Unit 01 gets the F-type in the game.

They regenerated, had unlimited power, each equiped with a Longinus Lance.... what more do you need? They were pretty much indestructable.

So?

And say what you will, the wings were awesome. *hugs his MP Eva figure w/ wings and Spear of Longinus standing atop Unit-02's corpse*

Know where I can find those new designs?

The new WETA designs are also quite good as well.

However on close ups they look really scary, with Eva 01 looking very devilish

I'd get a scan if I had access to a scanner.

EDIT: I got these of the Japanese site:

Man, you obviously are watching Eva for the mech battles and nothing more. There are plenty of other mech anime that are all about that, quit faulting Eva because you wanted more shiney robot battles.Nah I didn't want the Evas to just be in battles, I just didn't want them destroyed...I mean really they could have kept them around for somthing...

Once again toji and his unit is forgetten. The evas were destroy to show that the series was truly over. Just like in endless walts when all the gundams were destroy.

Eva gives many examples, like the recent videogame, the movies, the figures....and I'm sure if it rouses them and their in the mood they could do a re-telling of Eva or a restart, I mean even the LA movie has it's own contnuity....

True. But the chances of it picking up where it left off is very unlikely. And when it come to remakes,there will be lots of changes that won`t sit well whit old schoolers. I don`t know much about the LA movie. So how is it different?

If any other proporties(Transformers, Gundam, etc.) show as examples, to create a new continuity, it basicly doesn't sit well with some long time fans to begin with, yet it wins over much more new fans...
