I was just thinking about the whole Matrix Franchise and what could re-launch it back into mainstream popularity. The unfinished Seraph game (that was turned into Path of Neo) could do it. Now for the "Ifs":

If someone pushed for the game and it was published.

If the game was funded to be the caliber of GTA4, Gear of War, Halo (3?) and such titles that contibuted revolutionary technlogy, awesome gameplay and a worthy story. Easy to follow, philosophical, mind-bending and interesting.

If it created momentum and the momentum continued in the form of re-releases of the films, ANIMATED SERIES, new comics and hopefully more attention to MxO.

Wishful thinking at best. The question of the Wachowski bros. involvement in the franchise is still unclear. Without them, really, furthering the franchise just seems like it's not going to happen. Unless Phrack has some tricks up his sleeve.

MxO3R aKa The Matrix Online - The Third Renaissance

My own vision of a new MxO version with high-end graphics, bigger city, more moves and no SOE. Former players from MxO get a better chance for closed and open beta. The story picks up from before the "war" broke out (end chapter 7,8 or something?) and continues with a more legitimate line of story (LETs included). More RP, more PvP, more immersive than it has ever been. Player Plugins, GUI extensions, ZaneZavin clothing convention, no "hacking".

I can dream.
