Here is the link for Cinematic 12.1, it is up already.

Feel free to discuss anything in the cinematic as the thread is marked for possible spoilers.

Co-ordinates are 630, 9, -180 in Ikebukuro.

@cine:

Felt this one's pacing was a little slow. At least for the action scene. A happy medium between 11.3's hyperactive storytelling and 12.1's slow trudging horse would be ideal imo.

As for story content, pretty cool, nothing too super progressing or unexpected but we'll have to see where 12.1's missions take things.

Curious. Visitors? A delegation of Oligarchs perhaps, come to retrieve the BIP as the Machines are having trouble grabbing it themselves. But the people who appeared didn't look like wireframes to me, so either they're not Oligarchs or they've deigned to appear with proper RSIs.

Whatever the case, the Architect is nervous.

Notice how Wright wasn't wireframey either. Think it's probably just a little too hard to draw.

I can agree with that. Though the waiting did make for tension.

My guess is that Dues Ex is using Trinity's body to broadcast, if that even makes sense.

You're quite right. I had to go back and watch 11.3 again as I couldn't remember what she looked like. They're almost certainly Oligarchs, then; the glow would imply that anyway.

Not entirely sure I agree with that...  but I can understand why you'd think it.

Hmm... on the visitor side, many have seen some of the Dev screenshots of the silvery laying on the floor. Doesn't rule out that the Oligarchs have updated their software to be more compatible with the Matrix. Also doesn't rule out that these are completely different people all together.

Its a shame we dont have Live events anymore... this would actually be interesting :/

Very intriguing despite being a bit expected.

"Trinity..."

Again, like all of them I think, I've begun to appreciate this Cine the more I watch it. Odd how they always do that.

   Seeing the screens in the Architect's room shut off was kinda scary. O.O

Yeah,  I was kinda worried I'd see... "The Matrix Online is over" pop up on the screen after the monitors went off..

Agreed.

There was definitely a sense of "doom and gloom" with this one.  If only there was music...

Architect:  Oh my god...we're about to seriously get PWNed.
