The Matrix Online

[Paingiver]

You guys might have already heard of it, but for those of you that haven't they are making a matrix online. There will agents, faction, and tons of features. It takes place in a huge urban setting, with skyscrapers, subways, and traffic and regular human cpus, and best of all you can bend rules like gravity by jumping rooftops. To learn combat moves you get program software in the game that you load into your brain, so you can learn kung fu, and just about every form of combat just by loading it into yourself. Also there is bullet time and bullet dodging. I think this game is gonna rock!

this is the main site- www.thematrixonline.com

this is the trailer- http://matrix.ogaming.com/content/files/matrix_trailer_e3.zip

you can sign up for beta on the main site under the newsletter. The game is supposed to come out some time in 2004.

IMO, there's almost no way that game can be good. I don't even see how it would work well if it was like the movie.

[JetRaiden]

what's up with the tight leather clothes?

[Blood_Knight]

the trailer didnt work for me.
this game could be great,but will see wont we........... :groovy:

[Dharkbayne]

Game's gonna suck, how are they gonna implement BULLET TIME in a MMOG?? Sounds retarded.

[Javenn]

I think it could be cool but if everyones doing bullet time then wont there be alot of lag on the person of did/didn't use it?

[Squeeky]

Ghey!

[Biohazzard56]

Enter the Matrix sucked, not only cause of the bugs but the designers who also made the movies wachoshki brothers or something like that. As long as you let a talented developer handle it instead of two guys who have no concept of game design.

[Spee]

Actually, theres a really clever way for this game to work very well. It mentioned there will be agents - Rather than having a few select players run around as Agents, I think it would be pretty cool if the Dev's could only play as the Agents - That way, they're always getting an inside look on balance issues and the like.


But maybe im an Optimist.

:confused:

*Dev Agent jumps out, starts running towards them*

*Player Character busts out with a skill and completely pwnz the agent in a matter of seconds*

*Dev makes a note of it, and suggests changing the skill with a high pwnage factor*


Remember, Agents are Supposed to be the ipso-facto of the matrix.

[Biohazzard56]

devs dont play THAT much , it will be people vs people not always against the devs im talking about gameplay wise what do the devs have to do with anything.(They balanced based on player experiences and the stats of the weapon not combat its self, combat relies on plents of things just haveing a skill doesnt mean anything if the developer would want to balance it ,it would look at numbers) and if a player can kill and agent that easier it shouldnt have gone retail or in beta.

i think it would be cool, think of the matrix and it would be a computer sim of it, u would start out like neo and learn to free ur mind. U could learn to bend the rules, It would be sorta like max payne.

[Paingiver]

geez you guys are a tough crowd :rolleyes: bullet time is implemented by your skill so in the middle of a fight you might be able to go into bullet dodging mode, but you would be very unprotected against melee. Also it said that you can do combos under defense,speed, and power. Dfense combos are mostly the blocking,trapping,disarming,dodging, and counter-attacking moves. Speed is mostly flurries of punches,kicks, or fast disabling moves, these would be used if your openent is very superior to you and you want to quickly weaken/disable him so you can hight-tail it out of there. Power attacks are very powerful moves that can be used to severly weaken an enemy or to finish off a disabled enemy. When power attacks are used the user is very unprotected with little defense while he serves the powerful blow. And thats just the melee fighting, imagine fighting with swords andguns, jumping rooftop to rooftop, in a heated fight scene between you and an agent. How can that not be more awesome than any other mmorpg?

This game will not live up to the hype, just like Middle Earth online and SWG. You CANNOT make a MMO after a movie, people will only be dissapointed because they cant do certain things. IE SWG where you cant even go into SPACE :rofl:

[Sputty]

MEO hasn't been thqat hyped. Especially compared to SWG, the most hyped game ever

[EarlyDawn]

IE SWG where you cant even go into SPACE :rofl:So I'm guessing you didn't read about the expantion pack for spacecraft, right? :huh:

[Hamma]

I dont even know what spacecraft is.

[Paingiver]

i do think that the matrix could live up to your so-called "hype". You get new missions and objectives each month that are assigned and broadcast from your faction's command (such as Zion command and the machine system command structure), the plot of the game changes as it is skillfully written out by the makers of the matrix movies to continue the saga. You can have your own clans, and clans can battle all out in order to expand their territory over buildings. Every single building in the matrix city can be entered,there are night-clubs and hang out places where clans can plot out attacks against other factions or to take over another building. This game is gonna be awesome.

[Onizuka]

IE SWG where you cant even go into SPACE :rofl:

:rofl: My friend got the game and I asked about it:

"Wow, awesome, can you get an X-Wing"

"No, you cant go in space"

"!, well what vehicles are there"

"There are none"

"then wtf has this got to do with star wars"

"It has bounty hunters"

[Neon Apocalypse]

the whole idea of swg was cool, but do to technical restrictions it cant ever be as good as i envision

[AztecWarrior]

I don't think it will do well. If it does, I want to be one of the Ghost Twins. Enough said.

[Hamma]

It could be good, however we shall see.. at least the bro's are involved.

[SleightOfHand]

It has potential, but I don't think they'll pull it off.

[Sputty]

Is that good?
They ruined the game, and 2 of the movies.

:yup:

i actually didn't think that the enter the matrix was that bad, the only thing i didn't like about it was that agents didn't die even if you pounded the crap outta them and piked them up in shot them square in the stomach.

The player using bullet time will see things in slow motion. The player he's fighting will see things at a really fast pace of movement (basically what it looked like to watch an Agent dodge bullets). Both animations take the same length of time. In an answer to another question I don't feel like quoting, Agents will be NPC's. Players choose to fight for either the "Zionists" or the loyalists of the machines. As Paingiver said, monthly additions of missions and storyline written by the Wachowski's will give the game a purpose aside from character development and repetitious base capture....

Shit, you guys should really read up on this stuff before you slam it.

[JetRaiden]

Until I can blow up planets with the Death Star LucasArts can go eat something.

[I Hate Pants]

It pretty much looks like you dress up in leather tights and sunglasses. Than you go around looking for people to beat the shit out of them.
Hmmmmmm... sounds like the Broncs to me.

[JetRaiden]

hey pants where did you get that awesome metal slug avatar?

[Sentrosi]

I just want to fly the Death Star. Blowing up planets is just an added benefit.

[AztecWarrior]

This is BULLSHIT! I WANT TO BE A RENEGADE PROGRAM!

[Hamma]

hellooooo this story was thought up long ago, they didnt ruin jack shit it came out how it was alway invisioned. Just you didnt like it, oh well.
