The Matrix Going Massively Multiplayer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-about-time dept.

Chembro writes "Looks as though Ubi Soft is making a Matrix MMORPG. Everything is still pretty sketchy now that Revolutions has "ended" the series, but so far it seems pretty interesting. I wonder when the game will be placed (i.e. before Revolutions or after) but this could be the way the Wachowski brothers keep the universe going and how it will end. Pretty cool if you ask me."

    In fact, this was a major spoiler when the news first came out because it revealed that the VR in the matrix was not dettroyed.

  2. This game was announced before Revolutions! by smart.id · · Score: 0, Redundant

    *spolier*

    This game was announced even before Revolutions came out. It was also made of note clear that Morpheus's character would return, not mentioning anyone else. This game basically gave away the end of Revolutions; the Matrix still exists, and Neo and Trinity are dead.

    "The Matrix online timeline takes place after The Matrix Revolutions..."

    What is that "respawn" you keep talking about? I though Wachowski brothers made it clear enough - you die in the Matrix, you die in the real world.

  5. Bullet time? by Snaller · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They say the game will have bullet time? How do they implement that?

    If they invoke bullet time for everybody, then everybody will be moving at the same speed and the effect will be nullified?

    If its just one player who moves like that... well, we've always had that in all games.. its called LAG!

    "The answer you gave simply explains when the game will be released, not where in time the game will be set."

    Reread the quote -- they say that the timeline takes place after the third movie. So they're saying that the in-game story is after Revolutions. I think you're getting confused because they also tacked the real world release date of Revolutions on to the end of the sentence. But they're still talking about when the game takes place, rather than when it'll be available.
