While I was personally hoping for a realistic take, I'm totally up for a "high altitude" sci-fantasy flick.
I'm saying it's gonna be like this from reading CIAD's intel. Here: Quote:

All look incredible....ESPECIALLY THE NIGHT RAVEN! *Destro's MARS Base Shown! *A Firebat Concept (?) was shown *Updated version of the G.I.Joe Polar Battle Bear! *Hi Tech shown inside of a Command Vehicle *Concept art of Scarlett's Uniform shown via CGI, and looked GREAT! *Really excited about Cast & Crew, The entire team behind the scenes is doing it right, listening to the fans and making sure that a lot of effort goes in to the film! It's going to BLOW EVERYONE AWAY! *Pictures of Baroness' vehicle shown! *No one will be dissapointed with the updated look of the classics! I pray to the film gods that it won't be too "extreme" but it's Sommers we're talking about and that's what he does. Extreme flicks can be good but it depends a lot on who's directing them. Here's hoping the Van Helsing days are behind! One thing's for certain: we're likely to hear a lot less bashing now, because if the take won't be too realistic, then a lot of stuff can be adapted more easily. I mean... neo vipers??? WTF SO... what are your thoughts? Afraid it may end up being too cheesy or extreme? Or are you cautiously optimistic and curious about the route they're going for. Judging from CIAD's report, one thing's for sure... we're in for a lot... A LOT of movie toys.

See, I don't mind a bit of a sci-fi feel to things, given that it's set 10 years in the future.

I was totally expecting this. What I didn't expect was an all-out sci-fi film (from the looks of it). Hopefully CIAD or DESTRO will give us further updates on this.

You can expect to see many geographic locales in the G.I.Joe movie as the story takes you all over the world including the arctic, the bottom of the ocean, northern sierra, Moscow, Washington D.C. and more. Finally, we can expect to see next generation military equipment in the film, for example a chief scene in Paris where the characters will be using next generation military equipment that will allow them to run faster and jump higher than normal people.

A little Sigma 6 influence perhaps?

That would be preferred but this news seems to make it at least sound like there is a bit of Sigma 6 influence. I'll be okay with it unless they end up being called "Sigma Suits" or something.

I'm in the "wait and see" mode! I'd like there to be a healthy balance of reality and sci fi.

You know, powered exo-skeletons are being research now anyway, and some have enough working for them to allow people to run in them and allow the wearer to lift extra weight (up to 205 lbs, according to quick, dirty, and usually unreliable research on Wikipedia).
At any rate, while we're not 10 years away from Marauder Powersuits a la Starship Troopers (the novel, not the movie which should've been subtitled "Doogie Howser, S.S.) it's not unreasonable to toss in power suits of some sort.

as long as we don't change the size of the figures...lets stick to the 3.75" inch fiugures and vehicles.
The concept stuff sounds okay...amazing and awesome ....not really...but we will see.
