The art style and character design is slightly different, but the same. There\u2019s all the same characters, except they\u2019re different. There\u2019s still weird imagery, but it\u2019s totally new weird imagery even when it\u2019s still weird car imagery, and it sums up to the same vector, only of a different direction and magnitude.<br/></p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In contrast, I would love to see a Rebuild of the Matrix, where it\u2019s like the same elements put together in a different order and as soon as you start to figure out the pattern it goes disjunct and you\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s even going in the same direction<br/></p>"}
