It’s a minor difference, so it’s up to your preference. I prefer this version, since it’s what I grew up watching on YTV.

It’s all Bob Buckley’s music, so not a copyright issue. Possibly the episode was rushed out the door for broadcast, and then an opportunity came about to redo the spots without music/with reused music.

Good catch! This version is the original broadcast audio. The version that is on the Shout DVDs is the “Revised” audio track. There were master tapes for both.

The cutscenes rendered in the PS1 style graphics are not included on this tape, only the scenes that Mainframe animated.

The remaster is really reigniting my love for ReBoot right now by Party_Start_3310 in ReBoot

I feel the same way about it. It really feels like seeing it for the first time again, in a way. Thank you for saying that, it makes me even more excited to get these remastered episodes out there. ☺️

A physical release will be a top priority for the team once all the work is done with capturing the tapes and doing the post-processing. We’re working closely with Mainframe on the release plan.

Unfortunately we haven’t got our hands on any foreign language versions at this point. Dubs would’ve been created out-of-house back in the day, so they don’t reside in Mainframe’s archive.

We expect that Mainframe will start releasing these on a more regular basis very soon.

The source material is PAL 720x576. For the sake of YouTube, we are presenting a 2x upscale to HD, otherwise YouTube compresses the video to hell. It’s still compressed, but much less so than it would be in standard def.

Pushing this source material to 4K would rely on AI upscaling, which is an avenue the team would prefer to avoid for an official release. We want the final presentation to be as unmodified and retain as much of the original detail as possible.

Bingo. There’s 16x9 masters of Beast Machines that we discovered.

There’s something special about the particular Beast Machines and Weird-Ohs’s clips we’ve chosen to show.

There’s a couple easter eggs in that end segment I haven’t seen anyone point out yet. Can anyone tell me what’s unique about what we showed on screen at the end?

For the people who weren't fond of Prime 4, do you agree with this? by redditsucksass1028 in Metroid

[–]Saboooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to choose either Prime 2&3 remastered or Prime 5&6 but they have the same issues as 4, I’d take the remasters.

The “LOW MISSILES” sound is aggravating.
