"Enter the Matrix - Your Questions"

Over at XboxRules.com we have the chance of an interview with Shiny Entertainment about the upcoming Enter the Matrix game, out on the 15th.

So do you have any questions to ask the development team about the game? If so post it here and it may feature in the interview. The game is multiformat so I think it applies to this forum rather than just the Xbox version.

A questions by Tuesday please...

Not really true.
I know for a fact that Abertay have strong relations with developers and publishers such as Acclaim. They are also the only uni who run a summer competition to uni students all over the country to produce a digital product such as a game, CD, webpage etc.
As you said some companies only look for the big named Uni's but I don't see him having a problem getting the job he is after.

Oh and no. I don't go to Abertay :-P
I'm at strathclyde, doing computer science.

Did it p*&s you off when both Bungie and Hideo Kojima didn't want anything to do with making your "95% chance this is a pile of tosh using a licence to sell buketloads" game ?

Heh.

GO to Rare's development buildings and do a moony with the words "I want a job" stuck to your butt in front of their CCTV cameras.

Will the game include a special "Strike a pose in your long coat and sunglasses and make a pseudo-philosophical quip" button?

He's right you know Bonus. How do you think BEARDS got hired? :P

It all went a bit wrong at the end. Six people are still in hospital.

Oh well, I'm sure in our modern day society where you can be sued for practically anything that there's a way you can say it is their own fault.

Do they feel that the IGN.com review did the game justice?

Can you phone the operator and tell him you want "guns, lots of guns" before assaulting a large heavily defended building to the sound of the Propellorheads?

And if not, why not damnit.

At first, after hearing the directors were involved, and that there are literally hundreds of moves, yes I was. Not now though. Not now.
