«The Bad Batch» delights Clone Wars fans
by Luca Fontana
With the 16 year old game "The Matrix: Path of Neo" Luca and I slip into the trench coat of the chosen one. 15:00 we throw in the red pill.
Neo returns. The fourth "Matrix" part is in cinemas from 23 December. More than 20 years after Keanu Reeves made movie history as the Chosen One, the story continues. How? I don't know. But with the trilogy, I've prepared myself cinematically as best I can for "Matrix Resurrections." I'm pleasantly confused. The Wachowski siblings didn't just write and direct the screenplay when creating the "Matrix" universe, though. They were also actively involved in several games.
There was, for example, "Enter the Matrix," which told the events of "Reloaded" and "Revolution" from the point of view of the two supporting actors Ghost (Anthony Wong) and Niobe (Jada Pinkett-Smith). Two years later, in 2005, came "The Matrix: Path of Neo," where the Wachowskis also directed and wrote the story for it. In it, you can replay numerous events from all three parts. Perfect, for a Let's Play and to get in the mood for next week.
See how Luca and I do in our trench coats and sunglasses in the video.
Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
