Probably because Kojima didn’t have time when the request came in. I wouldn’t mind a new Matrix game with current tech, as Matrix is my favorite movie of all time. I’m so glad there is no successor to this perfect movie, because the story ends right with the phone call.
I watched the second one in theatre and don’t want to talk about it. Lot of people like it. But that is where I stopped. I don’t even know what happens after. :D
Neo becomes Superman in the Matrix, and the agents escape into the real world. It’s stupid, and everything else is irrelevant.
The first one is the only one worth watching. If you want more, check out the Animatrix. It’s a series of Anime shorts by different artists and directors that’s much more entertaining.
2 is okay, but nowhere near as good as the first. 3 is absolutely forgettable outside of “Neo Does A Superman” for his flight.
Animatrix, an animated anthology released between 1 and 2, holds up pretty well, in my opinion, but isn’t heavily connected to the main movies outside of one particular story. Kinda wish they went more down that route, it was neat seeing other stories in the universe outside of The Second Coming of Neo arc.
From a lore point of view, they’re not that bad and it all makes sense when you consider what the Wachowskis were TRYING to do. All the sequels and all the media associated with the sequels were ambitious to say the least. Reloaded, 4 shorts from the Animatrix, Enter The Matrix (the game), and a collection of comics all tie together the overall lore. it’s a lot. Basically back in the day if you wanted the COMPLETE story for Reloaded you had to watch like 2 shorts from the Animatrix and play Enter The Matrix. The issue is for the third film, while it was filmed at the same time as Reloaded, doesn’t really expand on some of the stuff revealed in the other media that tied into Reloaded.
The third film simply felt like was something that was forced on the Wachowskis by Warner Bros. Like I imagine very little was cut from both films because they really couldn’t cut anything and it was clearly evident they NEEDED to cut stuff.
All that being said The Matrix Online continues the story and expands the lore, which was canon, and it actually got quite a bit better.
Openness is great, but there’s no financial reason to make specialized hardware to operate an open platform.
Historically, consoles have been sold near cost, and profits have been made on game sales after the fact. If you can just buy your games from Steam on console, the price of the console will go up. At some point, it no longer makes sense to buy the specialized hardware.
But we’ll get to see how that goes! It’s looking more and more like the next Xbox is going to run Windows.
We’re already seeing some of that with things like the ROG Ally. There are also specialized emulator platforms that can play cartridges from multiple consoles.
Seems like that is Microsoft’S new strategy, pivot to PC where their storefront is just one of several options for buying games. Their super premium console they are teasing is probably just a Windows computer. Unclear what will happen with older Xbox purchases/if back compatibility will continue to be a concern. Might end up being the sacrificial lamb to our open future.
I’m really hoping all my existing purchases can be played via PC one day. If “everything” is indeed becoming an xbox, then I’m hoping this becomes a reality. I’m disappointed they’re moving away from their traditional consoles, though. It feels like the end of something special.
why would I want to go through the first Halo campaign yet again when I know I’m eventually going to get to the level with the flood where EVERY ROOM looks exactly the same and I’m just going to turn it off.
I know what’s going to happen, I know what’s ahead of me, I know I don’t want to do that again.
Now if they redid ODST or Reach? sure I’d be all for that. I enjoy those Halo games. but for gods sake I don’t want to play Halo 1 ever again.
