rumblings of something huge going on with SEGA

rabidrabbit:

Wouldn't it have been wiser (ok, but not necessarily cheaper) for the company to have discarded the Matrix projects as soon as the bad reviews and box office results of the last movie were in know, and pick up some another film license, like Xmen or something.

The Matrix license did sell well to videogamers for Enter the Matrix - millions of copies (all the more impressive because EA wasn't the publisher).

Incidentally, the X-Men brand was used for some games at that time like an X2: X-Men United title and a Wolverine title, and neither performed very well in sales.

Come on, this really won't be the announcement... Why on earth would they reveal it ALREADY?

How would Matrix Online change the balance of power in the next console war?

It's a big license that sells well no matter how crap the game is, and if its exclusive to one console it could make a big deal.(but I'd guess that'd be whichever one has a harddrive)

Told you guys not to trust Sonic ;D

Sonic said he was joking pages ago so I don't know why you're giving him a hard time.

I will however allude to something that should happen. SEGA hardware may make an appearnce of some kind, for outside the home mind you.

sega making playstation portable games? woot

Sorry about that. The additude was directed not at you guys directly. Well when I read something like this:

Even if the two movies hadn't been shot together, the movie as a whole (the matrix trilogy) wouldn't be the movie it is. In other words, it was planned from the beginning this way and this is quite obvious when watching the first part which has key-elements that reference to the other two movies (which were made after the first part). The movie was planned as a trilogy - not some movie they decided to keep going because of the first part witout having any idea on what both sequels should be about. Unfortunately, only few appreciate the movie for what it is and its messages beneath. In other words, critize the trilogy as a whole, not just the 2 sequels.

Anyway, we obviously agree to disagree on this, so better leave this before this gets anymore OT (which it already is). Natoma once started a thread about this in the other forums anyway.

I know it's off-topic, and this will be my last post on this (maybe we can take this to PM if u like), but what i meant was, if the 2 movies were not shot together, maybe the Wacky bros could have "tweaked" the second movie according to what the audience liked and hated in the second movie. Revolutions would have been the same movie, but maybe some of the scenes could have been slightly changed. For example, i personally think Revolutions should have had much more focus on the Merovigian, on the whole mythology of the Matrix, so some scenes could have been changed slightly, keeping the movie what it is.

Still, i'm one of those guys who think that the trilogy started going downhill with the first sequel, the focus was completely wrong, and the third was even further than the second. Millions of people loved the first matrix because OF THE MATRIX, because of the mind-blowing mythology, the mind games, the fights, the bending of reality, not because of the big squiddy robots, not because of bloody Zion, not becaus eof the "real" reality...

That's it. Enough OT.

I am sorry but SEGA touching the Matrix license is very sad in my eyes. The first movie is very good and well done. I was hyped for the sequel that followed it and waited in line anxiously for the movie. It turned out to be complete crap in my eyes and so did the last movie in the trilogy. There may be plenty of hidden messages, but that doesn't deter from the sad reality that the two sequels were poorly done and left viewers feeling like time from their life was stolen from them. It's not about getting the message, it's about watching a movie and having it come off as an enjoyable experience, both sequels failed to do that for me and many others. As some sort of mythological and philosophical movie it may have some credence, but as far as actual movies are concerned they are sad excuses for the great movie that was the first Matrix.

If the sega announcement was as you mentiond that they were developing games for the DS and PSP, then I'm pretty disappointed by that. Especially considering how it was supposed to be a massive announcement that you'd never guess. Still there's still a day (or two left yet?) so hopefully the enlighten us tomorrow if they haven't already.
