Yeah this game is going to be pretty sweet.

In an interview they said that there will be objects and connections with the movie and the game. For instance you may notice a strange package on a desk in the movie and the only way to know how it got there is to play the game.

An hour's worth of footage has been shot just for the game as well. The actress playing Ghost had to learn more lines for the video game than she did for the movie.

I cannot wait for this game. The only thing that has me worried is that it is coming out for the two...lesser systems. Most other games that appear on all consoles are toned down on the xbox so that they can run on the other systems, which makes no sense.

In many of my new mags this game has gotten mad props for just how kickass it will be. I cant wait and did you hear that the directors of the movie worked on this game they said it has all kinds of insights into the movie. I want this game like Lynx wants time to update his dam never moving HDTV site.

I usually agree, however, for this game as long as it's smooth playing I don't think i'll mind too much.

What do you all think about the talks of a Matrix MMORPG for Xbox Live?

I've gotta share with the excitement here.. this games gonna be really cool!

Merimac, you bring up a good point though. Hopefully they developed on Xbox first and then ported. To me, if I was any form of developer, this would only make sense to do things this way. Develop on the more powerful hardware first, then downgrade to other systems out there. Pretty strange that most companies *cough* EA *cough* can't seem to understand that nobody bought an Xbox to get sub PS2 graphics.

This game is definetly looking slick, I can't wait to see what happens in the correlation between the movies, but seeing how the Wachowski brothers are overlooking almost the entire project, it's going to be even more insane!

I agree the game isn't the best looking. And that pic does look off.
Could just be the camera angle as the others look fine.

The game-play should more than make up for the mediocre graphics though so its all good to me.

The game will and almost assuredly already does look better than Halo as it is, as do many many other games out at the moment. Yet, I bet people will think that it looks worse. It is all a matter of opinion I guess.

I'm guessing that screencaps don't do this game justice. Wait until you see it in motion before saying it is crap.

I do think that head looks out of place though, but so do the proportions from the actual movie like below:

Yes every person in that image above is CG (albeit not 100% finished).

The game is going to be like Max Payne. Similar bullet time effects. Don't forget Max Payne got its inspiration from the Matrix.

ok , don't get me wrong , i think this game is going to be great and it looks really awesome . But , how come we can't be Neo ???????? . I thought that , seeing as he is "the one" and that he can fly and stuff , that we might have the privelage of playing as him .

But , as i am writing this , i am realising that Neo (as we saw at the end of the first movie) can't be killed .
So , i think i've just had an argument with myself . I'm not schizophrenic , you only think we are............

If you were actually expecting Keanu Reaves to do the stunts in the movie you must be clinically insane, or just really dumb. First off during the filming of the first movie he was recovering from surgery on his neck. Two vertebrea were fusing together so he got surgery to prevent it from happening. That is why he only kicks three times. So during the filming of the second and third movies, being simultaneous, he would still have been recovering from his surgery but with more health, back to about 95% I would say. Still, many of the fightscenes are incapable of being performed by human beings, even with the wire rigs and such. So they have to take it to the next level and get the computers to pull their weight, they are a big part of the storyline after all.

You pretty much hit it on the nose. Why would we be able to play as a character who is already a master? What would be the point?

-edit-
Huh? How did this post get in this thread? Wierd...

The whole thing is about a war. War is fought by many people, not just one. I personally don't think that Neo would be able to do it all without others helping him out.

BTW: This should of been posted here (http://www.xboxaddict.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31992)

It's based on a movie...and it's a video game? Yeah, it will suck, just like ALL the others.

I dunno. It looks alright, kinda PoS2ish in the graphics region and I agree with Venom that guys got a huge melon. But the gameplay looks pretty sweet just as long as it doesnt turn into another james bond shoot em up kinda game... lord knows the xbox doesnt need anymore of those.:rolleyes:

Mmm..i hope the game turns out okay (big matrix fan here).....some of the model look a bit off...but the games not finshed yet...I am going to be very disappointed if they didn't shoot any higher than max payne with the fung fu mod. It should sell on the name alone..i'm just glad they didn't take the easy wayout and make it a first person shooter....

Keep in mind that this is a multiplatform game and those may well be PS2 screenshots, though I kind of doubt some of them. That leather jacket the black chick has could not be done on the PS2.

I can't wait for this game. For those who are speculating about the quality of the game, did you even read anything about it. Apparently the wachowski brothers are making the game just as good as the movies. They wont let the developers screw it up. If they do make it like Max Payne, I personally wont be sruprised, guess where Max Paynes style came from.

Not sure if this was posted, but heres hands on preview 'Enter the Matrix'

And to answer your questions about multiple platforms and will the xbox suffer because of the PoS2?

While the different versions have noticeably different levels of detail, Shiny's dynamic level of detail engine uses the same models and textures in all cases and then adjusts for the particular abilities of each hardware platform. For example, the PC version (which uses traditional PC shooter controls) and Xbox versions can use higher quality, compressed textures and models are rendered at higher polygon counts and with more detailed skeletal animation. While the PlayStation 2 version has been in development the longest to optimize the engine for the hardware, the only fundamental engine differences are mundane start screen requirements. The game's audio was hard to judge, although it is set to feature the voices of the cast, as well music taken from the film.

On a side note: I love Shiny games and i have faith in them. This game is gonna be great.
