The
Matrix Online
It
looks like we haven’t seen the last of the “bogus” real world we
live in, the promised reality that lies within the Matrix, and of
course…Keanu Reeves’ spellbinding acting. Shortly before the release
of Enter the Matrix, Ubi Soft
announced another Matrix game during E3, which is taking a step into the
online realm. Ubi
Soft has found enough assurance in the Matrix franchise that a possible
MMORPG around the Matrix universe is in production. Little is known
about the game; though what can be expected is a Star
Wars: Galaxies mirror image, with Matrix characters replacing Star
Wars creatures. Though that is only a speculated thought, Ubi Soft is
pussyfooting around the very same idea. In The Matrix Online, you will create your own character and then gain experience, weapons, and other items with other characters in the Matrix world. In this world your character can learn various combat forms and skill, which will be used when confronted by a fellow player. If all of this is sounding vaguely familiar, then you’ve already heard of a game like this, Star Wars: Galaxies. Like Galaxies, The Matrix Online will be an online-only game. The significance is that playing by yourself or a single player campaign will not be possible. |

Instead, you can freely walk around interacting with other players
completing missions with or against NPC’s, form your own factions, and
do whatever else to achieve supremacy over other players. This gift of
freedom might also come at a price, like Galaxies, allowing its online
capabilities available through monthly payments. This is not confirmed,
but an implemented feature in most online-only games. The Matrix Online will most likely be released on the PC, with little chance of any console support. The game is scheduled to be released sometime in 2004. |
