Can anyone else not access 1up.com? It must be something weird with my company's network.

This is what the first game should have been, during all the trilogy hype.

It'll be fun to go through the movies natural path (through the eyes of neo).

I got in just fine, but the pics themselves aren't really that impressive. I want to see Xbox pics to see if they improved the visuals. But assuming that the Ps2 is the developmental focus I don't expect it to look that much better either.

Still getting it though. It'll be my first Matrix game.

Super Burly Brawl looks fun.

Here's the exclusive clip of Matrix Path of Neo that I personally created for all those that missed it the first time:

Wow, they are doing a nice job with this one.

 

[lexbubble]

They really are, this looks to be coming along pretty nicely.

 

[FortNinety]

Are there still Matrix fans out there? I sorta assumed the last two movies being so bad, as well as the horrible first game, killed interest.

How's the MMORPG doing anyhow?

How's the MMORPG doing anyhow?

It sold 40k copies, bombed terribly and was purchased by SOE in a sad attempt to ressurect it.

 

[typhonsentra]

Characters look distractingly blocky though.

i'm looking forward to this, seeing as how the first failed mainly in the most important aspects -- gameplay. For a rushed multi-console release, the graphics were excellent, and the musical score was one of my favorite in a game. The voice acting was pretty good as well, but god, the gameplay was annoyingly basic and glitchy (don't get me started on the last level). They've got a great base, and hopefully with the extra time they can improve the gameplay.

I'm a sucker... I'll buy this....

Looks ok and I'm sure if it sucks I'l get $30+ at Gamerush for it.

IGN has some more screens

I hope the buildings are destructible.

 

[DCX]

+1 purchase if the control is half-way decent...the game the fans were waiting for

Features:

-Once again blurring the lines between Hollywood and interactive entertainment, The Matrix: Path of Neo will feature the likenesses of all of the films’ key actors -- including Keanu Reeves (Neo), Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus), Carrie-Ann Moss (Trinity), Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) and Jada Pinkett-Smith (Niobe).

-To truly immerse the gamer in the Matrix universe, the game will feature a “Director’s Cut” of the original movie footage from all three films and THE ANIMATRIX as cinematic sequences to progress the story told from Neo’s perspective. An exclusive to The Matrix: Path of Neo, the footage was edited by Zach Staenberg, the Academy Award winning editor of The Matrix working side by side with the Wachowski Brothers.

-Re-creating the incredible ambience of being in the Matrix, The Matrix: Path of Neo will feature a full orchestral score playing in surround sound, developed to follow the action of the game. In addition, the games’ soundtrack will feature original songs by the bands that were featured in the Matrix films.

-The player will use martial arts, medieval weapons and guns (lots of guns) to take on a variety of enemies, such as heavily armed SWAT officers; Agents of the Matrix, including Agent Smith; and Exiles in the employ of the Merovingian. To help prepare for these battles, there are several training levels which Neo must complete.

-The game will have enhanced “Bullet Time” special effects from the films and allow gamers to dodge bullets, jump off walls and defy gravity and logic to recreate its most memorable scenes.

-To re-create Neo’s incredible range of moves TThe Matrix: Path of Neo will also feature a more sophisticated martial arts engine to give gamers the true feeling of being "the One".

Damn I want this game!
