There's a new clip collection up at Worthplaying. They have peeks at Matrix Online, Mortyr 2 and Domination.
Domination is a sci-fi strategy game, while Mortyr 2 is a first-person adventure game set in World War II. The Matrix
Online clip is a "Zion trailer" which shows off the cityscapes and the new advertising feature. That's right, smack dab
in the middle of the game action you can be reminded of Constantine, the movie. Hey, you can't miss it. It's on the
billboard you just flew over. Humorous plug for The Matrix star's new film, or a sign of things to come? Well,
both…

Clearly, NFSUG2 already had this level of advertising. The question is, when Matrix Online goes .. online .. will they update the adverts often? As you'd see in a real city? That'd be cool.

"Cool" as in "teh suck"?

What's wrong with a couple of advertisements. Adds to the reality of it all. Hopefully this game will be better and more stable than the abysmal Enter the Matrix

...better than "EAT MEAT"

Some people really should learn to think about the context in which adverts are placed in the game before commenting that "Eat Meat" is a rubbish advert.
With an organisation supposedly in control of a virtual environment that humans dwell within whilst being used outside of the Matrix for energy reasons by this very same organisation, it seems perfectly normal that the Big Brother messages of "Eat Meat" or "Pay Your Taxes" and other similar phrases would appear around the city.
In keeping with the atmosphere with the game, I say "well done" to Warner Bros and Monolith.
Just a shame about the few technical difficulties experienced from time to time...

Is the matrix online available, or will it be, for a mac? If not, does anyone know how well it will run on Virtual PC? I only have a mac, so I was wondering.
