- The Matrix Online
There's
a The
Matrix Online Q&A on GamerGod kicking off a three-part series on
Monolith's upcoming MMORPG by chatting with Toby Ragaini, lead designer on
the game: "First, we needed to depict a huge, dense cityscape that created
the feeling of intimidation that was captured so well in the movies. Second,
we needed our characters to be able to sport the kinds of bad-ass clothes
and weapons similar to those used by the characters from the films. In
addition, a certain amount of variety beyond the movie constumes [sic] is
needed to support player expression. Third, we absolutely needed to raise
the bar on MMO combat visuals. The accepted notion of static "I swing, you
swing" combat system would not be accepted by Matrix fans. And finally, we
agreed that simply recreating the environment from the movies would not be
enough. In order to be relevant, we knew that fans would want to participate
in an ongoing story that actually moved the saga of the Matrix forward."

her leadership. By gaining combat experience, your Hero can gain new ranks,
which brings new abilities and greater effectiveness in combat."

Hearts of Iron into account. The game design is aimed at reducing
micromanagement, as well as deepening the gameplay experience. We have also
added co-operative multiplayer, allowing players to share a country while
playing. Another improvement is the 15 battle scenarios that are optimized
for 4-20 hours of gaming. The battle scenarios cover well-known WWII
operations like Barbarossa, Husky and Case White."

Access
Gamer's Eon of Tears Q&A talks with Evillusion's Dominic Arsenault about
their upcoming Bible-themed RPG: "The main concept behind Eon of Tears is
that the player will get a shot at the biggest events in the Bible:
unleashing the ten plagues of Egypt, seeing the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrha, leading the conquest of Canaan, or performing some of the miracles
as Jesus-Christ. Basically we are taking a look at the different theories
regarding some of those events and we try to answer the “What if…” question,
wrapping everything in a coherent gaming experience."

I don't think it very probable that the events depicted in the Bible are factual, but that doesn't prevent me from appreciating the tremendous influence the literary work has had on western culture. From what I read it sounds like choices you make can effect the flow of the game like a typical RPG. Imagine Christ giving in to Satanic temptation to rule over all the nations of earth or convincing God to 'take the cup from him' and avoiding the crucifiction. The designers could have alot of fun changing the story ideas around.
