I have to agree. This looks simply stunning.

ArmorOfGod890d ago (Edited 890d ago )

Played the demo. Cutscene was impressive but car chase was completed without pressing a single button. On foot section was no more impressive than Miles Morales in terms of city design or graphical quality. Also REEEEALLY enjoyed the woke agenda of putting a no name black woman as the main protag instead of Neo or Trinity. 😂😂😂

ChubbyBlade890d ago

What nonsense are you going on about?

fr0sty890d ago (Edited 890d ago )

I bet this person is a hit at parties. Can't even play a tech demo without letting ignorance and racism shine through. I'd rather be "woke" than still asleep like this person's fragile mind.

Ashunderfire86890d ago

I think that was supposed to be Jada Pinkett Smith character. You know from the old trilogy. Way before so called wokeness.

moriarty1889890d ago

yes it seems par for the course in most games and movies lately.

I tried it on my friends house last nite, i have to say i couldnt believe how good it looks, i cant even imagine what we will see more into the future.

Pedrof891d ago

Performance is all over the place, often below 30 fps. That's not a future I want to look into.

starsi360891d ago

I agree, I mean it looks amazing but we need that 60fps which I'm guessing will need more powerful hardware. Without it, 30fps and below just looks like a juddery mess in motion.

lucian229891d ago

Not even a 3090 could get that 4k and 60fps so get over yourself lol

Einhander1971889d ago

Stop ball aching about frame rate, obviously you were playing something else. Far from a juddery mess. Get over the f@@kin fps obsession!!!

Lennoxb63891d ago

The traffic and crowds are defaulted to 100%. Try turning one or both down. But it is just a tech demo after all, lighten up.

yeahokwhatever890d ago

so try making a city less like a city? lol

Outlawzz891d ago

There's always that one guy lol

Ninver890d ago (Edited 890d ago )

Or female, or trans, or tree. What are they "identify" as

Fntastic891d ago (Edited 891d ago )

PC should run it better.

SullysCigar891d ago

Not for most people it won't.

lucian229890d ago

While it would, it would maybe max get 30fps at 4k. And that's with a very expensive computer.

The average pc owner has a low to mid level rig.

The point of the demo is to show what's visually possible. Everything was cranked to the max, simply lowering the car amount by half, and parked cars by half dramatically increases performance.

fr0sty890d ago

If you have $3000 to drop on a scalped GPU that is capable of it, maybe.

iplay1up2890d ago

Having played through this a few times, I disagree. Also have you looked at the dashboard, and seen everything running real time? It is definitely a current gen showcase. UR engine 5 is still being worked on, and tweaked. Can't wait to see games in 2 years.

F0XH0UND922890d ago

Imagine being so incredibly short-sighted that you don't even know the purpose of a tech demo. Yikes

spicelicka890d ago

That's literally why it's a look into the FUTURE when performance can match the graphics. If it was 60fps with those graphics we'd already be in the future.

antikbaka890d ago

how dare you say objective facts

Fntastic891d ago

Will be interesting to see how it performs on PC with a 3080, and next gen 4000 series later next year should perform great in UE5.

Prob gonna sell my 3080 for a grand soon, got it for 650 and already made 2x that by mining, my 3060Ti will be good enough til next gen arrives.

CS7891d ago

We could have had full games like this already but everyone wanna do cross gen.

camel_toad890d ago (Edited 890d ago )

Yeh its that installed user base thats doing it. Sell your game to 100,000 people or 100,000,000. Easy decision for them but I totally respect the devs that want their games to look their best over having mediocre cross gen graphics for more sales.

We’re long overdue a new Matrix game but I’m done with Neo and Trinity

Following the announcement of The Matrix 5, a new Matrix game on PS5 and Xbox needs to happen, but let's leave Keanu Reeves behind.

CrimsonWing6951d ago

That unreal demo was amazing, to bad it was “unreal” and stayed as a proof of concept.

SinisterKieran51d ago

I’d give anything to be able to play the mmo that came out. I was too young and has no computer…

raWfodog51d ago

I would love to see a new matrix game. That is indeed a game world that has plenty of story and gameplay potential.

ChasterMies51d ago

I’ll only play a Matrix game if it has more Neo and Trinity. I saw the 4th Matrix movie and can’t tell you the names of anyone else.

bloop50d ago

I think I managed about 30 minutes of Resurrections before turning it off, which is bad considering the original Matrix is probably my favourite movie of all time.

-Foxtrot50d ago

I think the only good thing about the 4th film was the fact these characters came back

I just wish they managed to create a story where Morpheus could have came back aswell, even if he tried to rescue them and he also got captured so he didn't age.

anast51d ago

Trust me, I would let this one go. There is no way any available studio that can work on this game would make a good game.

isarai50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

This, i don't think anyone has the talent for this kind of game anymore, and the few that might are under the influence of live service pushing bosses.

anast50d ago

True, or working on things.

Xbox Series S vs Ray Tracing: The story so far

The Xbox Series S is, on paper, every bit as feature-rich as the Series X. It's based on the same fundamental RAM, storage, CPU, and GPU technologies - which of course means that it is ray tracing capable. You can absolutely get RT acceleration on the system, just like any other RDNA 2-based hardware platform.

darthv72488d ago

The S is a pretty impressive machine. I could see MS transitioning it to a more portable form factor if they so desired. Maybe even team up with Valve to make steamdeck 2 essentially a portable Series S.

Tacoboto487d ago

I don't know why Microsoft hasn't taken any initiative in making a more gaming-friendly Surface Laptop. They had those 1-2 cycles with one or two AMD variants but those aren't part of the lineup anymore. AMD announced new mobile chips with massive battery life and Surface hardware financials are nosediving - in the face of Steam Deck, Windows on ARM continuing to be ASS, and Nvidia gaming laptops ever growing, MS could really use a shakeup.

Mr Logic487d ago

Imagine writing this with 0 knowledge of anything that you're talking about. Please explain how they would "transition" a 100W device into a 15W portable form factor.

darthv72487d ago

...die shrinks tend to increase efficiency and reduce tdp which would result in a more cost effective and portable friendly chip. Reducing the amount of power reduces the amount of heat which reduces the need for the current heat dissipation design which can lead to a reduced overall size and make it more portable.

It's really not that hard to figure out as it has been done for decades with each revision of hardware over the course of a platforms lifecycle.

ChasterMies487d ago

MS will never team up with Valve. They run competing stores on PC. Also, the Series S hardware couldn’t work as a handheld. That giant cooling fan is an indicator of the kind of heat that is pumped out by those chips. I don’t see much investment from Microsoft into ARM based chips and mobile graphics chips.

darthv72487d ago

...well not in its current state. I swear people all of a sudden just forgot how chip technology evolves. Just look at something like the PS2 and PS2 slim. Same tech but they cut the size to 1/4 of the original. If we apply the same logic to something that is digital in nature, the series s can be shrunk down to roughly the same size as the slim ps2 or possibly even smaller. If the PSP is basically a portable PS2 and the Vita a PS3 then why is it so hard to think there could be a portable series s?

I have no doubts about 'could it be done'... the bigger question is 'would it be done'? That is for MS to decide. And looking at the steamdeck for comparison, the deck is pretty much already a portable PS4 so if it had a beefier CPU/GPU (like the Series S) then yes it can be done as a portable. Dont be surprised if steam deck 2 comes out as a 4tf or even 6tf machine. Like i said above, shrinks happen.

darkrider487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

Ray tracing... If the ps5 and series x got problems to have games with rt without huge drops on rez.... Why even talk about a console that most games run at dynamic 1080p... Playing games at 540p with Ray tracing like the matrix demo or fortnite... That's why almost all games don't use on the s...

Elda487d ago

The very reason I traded in my Series S for the Series X.

darkrider487d ago

Huge upgrade. Good move. Get ready for next Gen gaming and forza will be the top dog in terms of ray tracing.

If you play in big TV, having a series x is the best choice between those two consoles.

ChasterMies487d ago

You can run games at lower graphic settings on Xbox Series S, but do you want to? For $100 more, you can buy a PS5 digital that has better graphics and more hard drive space. When it comes to game consoles, less is not more. Save your pennies.

Is The Matrix Awakens Becoming a Full Game?

Theories are being exchanged as The Matrix Awakens is being delisted on 9 July 2022, without reason. Could a full game be on the way?

isarai691d ago

As much as i would love that, i doubt it.

RaidenBlack690d ago

It would require a quite a development resource and time investment though to get a fully fleshed out Matrix game based on the demo's structure.
Hence yeah, highly doubt it.

neutralgamer1992690d ago

Yes epic games have the resources to make it happen

But real question is after the graphical wow factor how good of a actual fun game would it be since it's most likely on rails ?

Mobis-New-Nest689d ago

They should remake Path of Neo with the graphic power of The Matrix Awakens. It was the best Matrix game I ever played and would easily get 5 million pre-orders and an additional 10 million in sales on its Day 1 release.

Michiel1989689d ago

Matrix Online was also pretty good, but for a very niche audience.

babadivad689d ago

After watching Matrix 4, I'm all set on anything Matrix.

DivineHand125689d ago (Edited 689d ago )

You actually enjoyed the 4th movie?

porkChop690d ago

No. It's just a tech demo and that's all it was supposed to be. I'm surprised they're delisting it though.

RaidenBlack690d ago

That's the strange part. Why delist such a thing?

RPGer690d ago

Maybe the Movie sucked, maybe they are sicker with modders, maybe Licence thing, maybe they just don't want people insist for a Matrix game?

Maybe

MasterChief3624690d ago

Licensing is a very fickle thing that is unpredictable to those that are unfamiliar with the terms of each case-by-case license handed out. It seems quite likely that this is a licensing mandate.

RaidenBlack690d ago

Kojima is a big fan of the Matrix movie franchise and was tweeting out quite a few tweets before the new Matrix movie.
And this all happened before the Matrix Awakens reveal.
And I was thinking then, a Kojima directed Matrix game would be just too good. The perfect pair even?

Omegasyde690d ago

Matrix Demo > Matrix awakens.

Movie sucked.

RaidenBlack690d ago

I think you're referring to Matrix Resurrections.

MizHDTV690d ago

It’s one of the biggest disappointments I ever had going to the movies
I absolutely hated that movie
It made part three good

Omegasyde689d ago

Raiden you are absolutely correct, and I stand corrected.

Movie was so horrible I forgot the subtitle.

FIELDMARSHALL_P689d ago

It was fine to watch while smoking Blu ts and sipping Ciroc.

Would be odd to see “The coalition” make multiplatform game. I don’t think the coalition will ever make a multiplatform game. I think it’s because it served its purpose already and no point to keep it up. I seriously doubt this will become a game.

Profchaos690d ago

Yeah I'd like it to happen but I highly doubt it
