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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
...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.
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.
...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.
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...
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.
Replies(1)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.
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?
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.
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 ?
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.
No. It's just a tech demo and that's all it was supposed to be. I'm surprised they're delisting it though.
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
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.
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?
It’s one of the biggest disappointments I ever had going to the movies
I absolutely hated that movie
It made part three good
Raiden you are absolutely correct, and I stand corrected.
Movie was so horrible I forgot the subtitle.
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.
CG writes: We take a quick look at The Matrix Awakens gameplay demo on PC using Unreal Engine 5. The demo originally released for Playstation 5 but is now available for PC players as part of the City Sample. The game renders at 1440p and allows for around 30 fps with ray tracing enabled. We’re using 32GB RAM and an RTX 3090 alongside an i9 9900K CPU running off an SSD.
“The demo originally released for PlayStation 5 AND XBS consoles…”
Double fixed.
That unreal demo was amazing, to bad it was “unreal” and stayed as a proof of concept.
I’d give anything to be able to play the mmo that came out. I was too young and has no computer…
I would love to see a new matrix game. That is indeed a game world that has plenty of story and gameplay potential.
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.
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.
