Matrix game: new details and info

Vandal posted this article early today, so I will try to translate:

We already have new details from the game of one of the most popular movies in the last years. Announced last year (2001), the game of The Matrix seems to follow the habitual developments of the study that is programming it, Shiny Entertainment. This is, years of work in rigorous secret.  
 
But today we have been able to know that the Wachowski brothers, main authors of the future trilogy (for the time being, we have seen the first part), and big admirers of the video games, decided in a day that the game was not based on the second film, Matrix: Reloaded, but rather the plot of the game was totally new. They wrote specifically a script of 244 pages for the game. And if you are not surprised by this, they also assure to have filmed exclusively more than an hour of completely new sequences for the game, with the same actors and the same localizations of the original film. An entire investment so that the game doesn\'t become a simple promotion product more, but in a support to count the history, as the responsible siblings commented.  
 
As for the game, apparently it will be centered in aspects that in Matrix: Reloaded hardly appears, and it will have two secondary actors from the movie, Niobe and Ghost, as main characters. As they have commented, there will even be a mini-game based on commands of DOS with those that will be able to " hack" Matrix, with the objective of improving our character and discover new secrets in the game. "One will be able to play the game without having watched the movie, and vice versa. But if there are two people watching the movie in the cinema and only one of them has also played the game, this last one will understand the history better", Dave Perry affirms, visible head of the development team. Really innovative, indeed. We will see if they really complete the game and how it looks.  
 
Let us remember that, when it is launched (initially it was scheduled for summer of 2002, and at the moment the date is a vagrant 2003), Enter The Matrix will have six months of exclusivity for XBox, and then it will appear for PS2 and GameCube. Keep in touch for more info.

ESTA MALDITA I TELL YOU!! MALDITA!!

I love Matrix.I hope the game is as good as the film.But where the hell is Neo?There was not a single mention about him.I hope he isnt replaced by Niobe and Ghost.I want to control Reeves

That\'s a pitty... if Neo is missed

THAT WOULD BE A HUGE PITTY!!

Most likely going to suck the big one. I dont think i\'ve played a quality movie to game game. Hopefully this changes everything.

the game was not based on the second film, Matrix: Reloaded, but rather the plot of the game was totally new. They wrote specifically a script of 244 pages for the game.

This would be incredibly cool if it turns out its true :hold:
