Enter The Matrix Preview

Posted by simoniker on from the i-know-kung-fu dept.

Several readers point out the new preview of Enter The Matrix over at Gamespy. The staff there got a chance to play a near-final version of the Shiny-developed game, minus the hour of new movie footage that'll be included when it ships on May 15th for PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, and PC. Other previews (such as this one at Gamespot) have been positive, if slightly guarded. Do you know kung fu?

    A lot of places have been talking about how cool the game is but IMHO, based upon looking at the screenshots and the video clips on TechTV, the game looks like it was made about 2 years ago.

    Sure the animation may be kickass, but the polygon count just looks really low and the characters aren't that detailed in the shots I've seen.

    While the gameplay is important and obviously focused on more with this title than other movie/game ports, I hope that they haven't dumbed down or forgotten about the graphics in the process

      Good. Maybe it'll run on people who don't have top of the line systems. I can't afford a new machine just for games, and unfortunatly, that means I can't play many of the games released over the last year or two. I wish more companies would make games with not so great graphics, so that people like me can still have our fun.

      Well, but I bought the core components of my system about 1 year ago and just incrementally upgrade things like the graphics card, RAM, proc, etc...

      Hell, carmack has said that they are targeting Doom 3 at the GeForce 3-level of graphics technology. I don't think that having 2 year old tachnology really kills all your options for games.

      Fun is fun, but good looking fun is funner :)
