| how about a game that puts you in the battle of man vs machines from the animatrix and the one (2 part) animated story called the Second Renaissance. have different maps for different battles and could fight as a machine or human in mechs, artillery and infantry and those sentinels and stuff. that would be pretty cool. |

| And it would infringe on multiple copyrights. Team based combat or RTS though? That's the REAL question. -------------------------------------------- Democracy may only be a few steps removed from anarchy, but at least it isn't as loud. |

Doesn't seem all that different then many games out there now...Quake, C&C, or Starsiege with different player models and graphics...just a different "wrapping paper" theme around the same old gameplay box  |

| Hey, didn't we call that "Terminator?" |

| Of coarse you would ask the person that made the second renaissance in the animatrix if you could make the game first. And no its not terminator thats entirely different. Also wouldnt be like other games like quake or C&C because of the environments and story line. [edited by - Doctor on June 18, 2003 4:04:37 PM] |

| One point though...you would have to loose at the end of the game. This may not be a bad thing (in fact I have seen a WW2 game that works this quite well), just something I thought might spark some ideas. |

| I thought Dark Forces was pretty good for its time, too. Cool weapons. Anyway, I doubt you could land a Matrix license, or a publisher willing to get one for you. It's not that hard to come up with your own cookie-cutter man vs. machine story. Or you could do something actually novel. Say, instead of machines they built, the humans are fighting vicious, intelligent plant life they bio-engineered. (Ripping off Blue Seed here, too, except those plants were alien.)

| The Matrix license cost Atari many millions. I personally don't see how it's too different from Terminator. Machines vs Men at around the same time frame, even similar machines in a lot of ways. The idea at the start of this thread reminds me of the upcoming Terminator 3 online shooter for the PC. |

| Why does everyone knock Enter the Matrix? I rented it and had a blast except for the car level. |
