A little heads up for anyone thinking the Matrix Online will lack story. The game is picking up straight from Revolutions. We now have an uneasy peace between man and machines, and we still have people jacked into the system (because they want to be), free men and women pirating in to persuade them otherwise, and all of the exiled A.I.'s most likely vying for dominance in what could only be ascribed as Al Capone style turf warfare. Now you come in, and you get to pick sides. What's more, the Wachoski Brothers will be writing storylines and special events for the game, and every yearly quarter or so, will apparently be taking game logs and transferring them into consumable media (that's movies or text). Apparently every building in the Megacity is explorable (and I bet there's lots of subterranean stuff to ala Enter the Matrix), there's supposed to be a veritable assload of weapons and character customability. I can't wait personally. Just signed up for the Beta. I'm going to go sacrifice a virgin to solidify my chances. |

| JeefGyle | Not to mention that if one group took over most of the territory, they would become dominant and no other groups would have any fun. | |

| Comrade Rocket | Thats a problem i have with most MMORPG's because they have a lack of story, which is usually the reason i play a RPG in the first place. I think when they make an Online RPG, they should have class battles, have two groups and have them fight each other. That way, they story is developed off of the wars. You could come in as one group and you all have to work together to take over a peice of land that was taken from you in a different battle. It would be a good way to get exp and gold. But the only problem would be that people would become to dependant on the battles. | |

| JeefGyle | I really liked Ultima Online. It was fun getting with friends and saving up to buy a tower....but then it seemed that once we got the money and bought it, that we all stopped playing. | |

You just gotta like character development and grouping to get into MMORPGs. They aren't for everyone. FFXI follows the same MMORPG trend |

| Supafly345 | I heard a rumor that MMORPG gamers are hideous losers that don't have a real, fulfilling life. Is this true? | |

I agree with James, how could things like Bullet time work. and if they effect the imediate area that would be horrible. Your walking down the street and out of nowhere you get super slowed down? I really only liked the Hacking aspect of Enter the Matrix, i hope they keep that in. |

That said, I do not see a Matrix MMORPG being functional in a fun sense. What exactly can be done with it, really? Sure, you can spit out all your crap like bullet time and improving your Bending Spoons skill, but none of those ideas - to me, at least - sound feasible in a game like this. |

i heard the genesis one was better but i seem to remember the interface being incredibly awkward and that's a real sticking point for me when it comes to games

SNES all the way i played the Genesis one, and have been offered to play the pen and paper one and both i turned down. Genesis one i could never get into, and the pen and paper one looked gay. |

which shadowrun the genesis one or the snes one, or are you talking pen and paper

I reiterate... SHADOWRUN its a great RPG with guns and magic. It also has Orcs and dog...things Oddly enough there is a virtual world in shadowrun called the matrix. Not the same as the movie, but still close enough to be weird. |

My money is on TOTALLY SUCK think about it. it's a game based on a movie. Enter the matrix was ok, but consider another problem, Matrix online is slated to be an RPG. RPG's should all be set in the past with swords and shit, not machine guns. thats edging in on FPS action. |
