The Matrix Online [merged]

Ditto! When's the beta out??

Dunno, I haven't heard anything yet, and I just got the newsletter a few days ago...

well thus far, the visuals are ok... they'd make a B grade in todays gaming world.. as far as the gameplay demonstration... total F. it looked like they didnt even know what they wanted to do yet lol

I recently rented the The Matrix Revolutions and I saw a 7 minute preview and making of the game.In the game you get to go online and interact with other players all over the world.The fighting and kungfu and slowmo looks cool.And I cant wait to get it.I dont know when its coming out tho,but its coming out this year 💃

Will you have to pay a certain amount of money a month to play it?

There are already two other threads on this game.

we need a lords of the rings online war game 😄

I found the bullet time in Matrix online to be stupid, simply because you slow EVERYone around you down, rather than having yourself look fast to the people witnessing the bullet time. I honestly expected some kind of gaming breakthrough in terms of communicating bullet time to other players. I know its difficult to mimic 2 different time speeds occuring at the same time, but there must be some way to make it happen...

LOTR hmm.... thought there was one comming? I know battle for middle earth is a RTS....

I'm not gonna do that!

satsujin they arent that stupid man. they most likely make a perimeter so when u use it only things in the perimeter will slow down.

as some of you may all know The Matrix Online is becomming a very popular up-comming game. there is about one site out there dedicated to MxO (the Matrix Online). so a new friend of mine is making a whole new site dedicated to MxO. it is going to be a fantastic site. all we need are some willing video gamers and matrix fans to register for the forums there to sort of motivate us to make the site. so plz go register and post some stuff on anything. thanks

I will bet money that it will bomb. There are far more promising MMOG coming out this year. It will just be a wannabe.

hahahha funny you should say that. many people have said that it is gonna be as you say but it has so many new features and abilities. i could give you a link to some good info if you are willing to look at it and consider it....

Oh, I've checked it out. I've done my research and it really doesn't look all that great. However, if you don't mind, what new features and abilities are you referring to? Chances are they aren't new at all, probably just variations on already existing features in MMOG's.

not really new features but the way they did the skills system and the new effects. lots of things. more involved in fighting not shooting. all the martial arts. the new skill tree though inparticular. i just think it is a new and dynamic way of doing it. no lvl char just new skills and such. i mean compared to SWG which is the only other MMORPG i have played it is gonna be pheonaminal

Hmm... The skill system sounds very similar to the new "City of Heroes" game that came out a few months ago. A system in which you don't gain levels, but skills that enhance your power, strength and so on.

Also, I wouldn't base too much merit on SWG, it was a poor game compared to some others.

As I said in another thread, Matrix Online could be very cool if it's done properly. But with so many other MMOG's coming out this year that will draw a bigger crowd (World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, Middle Earth Online) it will have some major competition.

the fighting system is new, textile combat percision has never been in games before. That and the hundreds of moves, with new moves constantly being added , interactive storylines that change weekly, with rewards and game outcomes depending on your playing choices which even end up being able to be an agent make me interested in the game. This all sounds astounding and i think it very well could be, but only if it gets instant success, if the game does not spark gamer wide interest it will die out in a few months. also the live action cut scenes, and actuall actor commentary is a nice touch

It all sounds interesting, but just because a game has some new gimmicks means nothing. There's been plenty of games that tried to do something different, and failed miserably.

Plus, the past Matrix game wasn't very successful. The track record is definately against this game.

i agree backfire it will have compitition. i havent seen COH in action. i also love the way they did bullet time it is new and sounds good when you hear it. also i think it is good that the dev's are so involved but they might get in over their heads. i still have high hopes for the game
