Oh it's definitely a fan-thing, but I was genuinely impressed with the work on the website. I'll admit the fangirl inside me had a weensy-sized bit of hope ^^; But, no way. Dr. Wily in the trailer is really really funny though XD
As for the Protomen, I just did a google search of them now after hearing about them here and there - the intro is really, really cool : ) Reminds me a bit of Broken Saints, the animation is smoother but the concept of storytelling was the same : P
