Enter the Matrix//Vice City

[i3OSS]

Keep it up guys, its gonna be here in 5 days WOO HOO~!

Anyone pre-order them yet?

Got an additional info on it? all i know is im expecting better gameplay with vice and i heard they spent a large amount of time on matrix so i think it will be worth getting...

[avx]

Sorry dont got any extra info on it...

But Im very hesitant about any matrix games...so many movie based games are horrible...

i'm really gonna wait on this one.....

[Spyda]

im buying vice city most likely next wednesday, if its too much like GTA3, its off straight back

[i3OSS]

its like the PS2 but when a more variety and better controls and better graphics.
i dont know about the matrix, but reading it in PCGamer made me want to buy it...you should see the graphics on that thing, this wasnt some 1 month game they spent the time since they started the reloaded movie. they had 2 groups split up, 1 for the movies and one for games and they use the director of the crouchjing tiger hidden dragon and they took the moves into a green room to make the game as accurate as possible...

Yeeah...the Matrix sounds amazing.

They said that is supposed to have incredibly immersive gameplay, like being able to shoot out every ceiling tile, and knock over every table. They also said that it isn't just a game to go along with the movie, but, you have to play the game to understand more of the Matrix series. Now, I don't know if that's just a sales gimmick to get you to buy it, but, I don't think that makes much of a difference; I'm still gonna' get it.

Im sure you'll enjoy Vice City. I have it for the ps2... and it'll just be better on computer I assume... enjoy, although I always thought the plot was cheesy... but its fun to play so no complaints from me. You'll notice the difference between gta 3 and vice city right away.

i played VC on PS2, and the frame rates were so slow i got a headache, not used to 50 or so fps, i need at least 80 now

[Spyda]

the matrix games just screams out to me that its going to be a lot like max payne with a bit more kung fu, and i havent even read anything anou it, never mind seen the game box cover

[Jeradln82]

OH yeah! I'm getting the Matrix game ASAP! It looks and sounds sweet!

[Jeradln82]

Well I pre-ordered "Enter The Matrix" I can't wait till it arrives!! I hope its as amazing as it looks! I'll be sure to let you all know

Oh yeah..I noticed in the list of requirment it says it needs DX9. What other games use DX9 as of right now? Is the matrix the first game that requires it? I'm glad I have a GFX card that supports DX9

[Spyda]

Splinter Cell does

and not just DX9 cards support DX9

a Geforce 2 will play that game

[Jeradln82]

Yeah..I saw the GF2 would play the game. But wouldn't a DX9 card play the game the best, Totally utilizing DX9??

[Alaron]

Well, its May 15th, who's got it? First impressions? I am very curious to see if it lives up to the hype.

Does anyone know the game requirements, I wonder if I'll have enough to play it smoothly.

[pam123]

I love relatives!
Enter the Matrix just landed on my desk, courtesy of my Aunt!
Minimum requirements: 800 MHz, 128mb ram, 4.3 GB ( 7200 RPM ) HDD space, CD 4X, DX9, Gf2 .
Recommended : 1.2 GHz, 256 mb ram, Radeon 8500
Not that hard to make, I hope the game lives up to the PR.
Almost forgot, that EAX sound thing.
Enjoy !

[Alaron]

Thanks a bunch Pam. I meet the requirements, but barely (GF2). I think I'll hold off on buying it until I get my 9700.

[Spyda]

gah, that EAX sound always gives me awful sound. like distant then close, then quiet then loud, so annoying

[pam123]

Spyda,
I'll have to look but I'm fairly sure that I have the Maximum PC issue that was dedicated to setting up surround sound with various speaker combinations ( Alienware_Dude might have it as well ) and various sound cards.
I'll post back if I can find it.

Yeah and I heard the producers of the Matrix the movie trilogy developed the game as well. So that will make it better. At first I was thinking of not getting it, becaust most games based after movied I didn't like too well. But Enter the Matrix looks pretty promising.

[Iman74]

I just learned today that Grand Theft Auto : Vice City is available on PC. But I am most certain when I was interested in buying that many months ago it was only available on gaming platfors like X-Box and PS2. Am I wrong?

[Spyda]

went and bought Vice City this morning, played it for maybe 2 or so hours, its pretty good, a lot faster than GTA3, slickr too with higher detailed graphics, had that damn quiet/loud car engine sound thing again though

I may go and buy enter the matrix tomorrow morning while im in town, while i get my matrix tickets

[wolfie]

The user can Alt-Tab to switch to another application during gameplay.
EAX option now works properly."

[Spyda]

yea, im currently downloading the patch while my brother is playing it, and the moves and everything are awesome, it has to be the coolest game i think ive played, it just screams MATRIX at the top of it voice, how cool is goignt into focus mode (matrix bullet time mode), running up a wall, backflipping off the wall and fly kicking a gaurd in the haed, sending him in a sideways flip?

ill tell you

VERY COOL!!!
if it looks this good on my brothers 1Ghz, i cant wait to install my copy


also, if you have seen the animatrixs, there are 4 now, the game ties in exactly with them

brilliant

[Jeradln82]

Well I finnaly got around to playing the Matrix. I've had it a couple of days but been busy..grrrr. Anway..this game ROCKS! The graphics are just awesome!

Spyda, where can I find those animatrixs? Are they downloadable?

It's taking me a little while to get used to this game. The character moves so fast. Oh man the moves are awesome as well. I love kicking the guards across the floor when I knock them down! LOL

Great Game!

Just my two pennies

[FantasySoul]

Oh,man!not a 4Gb installation again!!
I think I have to wipe out my old games from my HD and fit it in.......i wish I had a 80GB's...
I thought the MATRIX was out for the console...?

[MonkeyBlitch]

I can see Enter The Matrix is a pretty darn good game and Matrix Reloaded was awesome also!

[Spyda]
