Hacking into Enter the Matrix

[greatpumpkin02]

While we shouldn't discuss where or how to get the game before it's actually released, it should be okay to discuss certain parts of the game...

Has anyone tried the Hacking option in the menu? You'll have to start a game first and save it before you can "hack" your saved game. The UI is a little like DOS, but missing a bunch of commands :) I've figured out how to navigate around a little bit, but so far I don't know what the real advantage to hacking is, other than inputing cheats as you find them...

I've found two cheats at one website, but I haven't tried them yet. I'll post them if anyone's interested - I'm not that into cheating in the game, but I just want to see if it'll work in the hacking and what'll happen from then on...

Post what you know...

Well after I went through the hacking part of the game it unlocked multiplayer mode. Also you can view the movies from the game as you beat it through the hacking if you find the correct command.

Supposedly, you can make your controller rumble, and make the disk drive open up, and unlock fights with secret characters... Though, how to do it is beyond me... :\

[greatpumpkin02]

Hmm - I hadn't heard about the multiplayer option...

I did find the vibration.exe command, and had read about the disk drive, but didn't know about the secret fights...

Are the hacks (well, cheats) more like codewords or more like number and letter combinations (eg, CHEAT TheOne vs. CHEAT aa23fff3) ?

[greatpumpkin02]

One other thing - aGeMo mentioned in his post that the stuff was unlocked after going through the hacking part of the game - so is there a "level" that teaches hacking within the game? I haven't played but about 5 minutes - just running around the post office and kicking some ass in slow motion - so I don't know what's in store for me just yet...

umm i havent even seen any good screens of this game yet :(

[cocklea]

the hacking mode is actually where u enter the cheat for inf health, inf bullets and so on. its for sissy (j/k :D)

[Groovedude]

is it true about the MP mode tho ?

[cocklea]

MP mode?? I havent delve that game throughly, but i dont see any MP mode.

[DarkLordSouron]

NintendoPhiles screens

hope this will help ya a bit

cause no bad influwence about ETM

[freeza]

is the game actually COOL?

[Groovedude]

ok thanx i will check the screenies out and see if its worth getting

[greatpumpkin02]

The camera's a bit quick (seems to be fixed to the character a bit too much, some people have mentioned it's "dizzying"), but the game moves quick so that when you "focus" aka bullet-time the game moves at a slower than normal contrasting pace...the moves you'll do when focused are pretty cool. The load times are non-existant, the story moves the action, the transition between FMV and game is completely smooth. It's impressive, in my opinion. I haven't played enough yet to see how it'll stand up overall, but I get a good enough feeling :) Especially if you're a fan of the concept, it should be very worthwhile...

[Wolvereen]

I have been pretty impressed to. I only have one complaint thus far. Playign as Niobe currently. When you are attacking an enemy, the camera will tend to zoom in and lock on your character. After the battle, you kinf of have to "free look" around a bit with your mouse to get a baring on where you need to go.

Other than that though, real peach of a game so far! Anyone know what engine it uses btw?

Ok to all of you who want the cheats

[-=||MIKE||=-]

PS. iam not held responsible of your puter fux up !

[greatpumpkin02]

Thanks, Mike - I'll give these a shot first thing tonite - I'm interested in the training construct and multiplayer - someone post back if they're able to do anything with this before I can ;)

[aGeMo]

The multiplayer is just a fighting game (ala street fighter) with matrix characters. Quite crappy if you ask me. To clarify what I posted earlier. As you go through the real game you get to watch some cut scenes. As you unlock more of them in the real game you can go into the hacking portion of the game to view them again. Also you can view images of the different guns, enemies, etc. Also I don't know if they explain how to hack in the game. Just came as common sense to me. Anyone with a small knowledge of DOS should be able to accomplish it no problem.

[Pargo]

i found vibration and such.... under A:\Tools ther is vibration.exe and beep.exe and such. but how do we run these? agemo if u know, help us ^_^

[persianpsycho]

It would be sweet to have a decent mp mode, but streetfighter style fighting seems boring

[Pargo]

guyz... anybody else had this problem on the PC version. u cant change any sound options I.E. EAX controls?

[greatpumpkin02]

Back on topic - has anyone began hacking into the Matrix? Not just for cheats? I have and it's pretty fun - it's like a big logic game :) I've gotten drives B (pretty easy) and now V:

I've been dialing for the connection, but I can't establish one...and I still need to crack the "code" left in your e-mail...

Anyone have a clue what I'm rattling on about? :D

[S.MULLA]

guys i'm stuck... at the part where niobi gets to the post office..and she needs to go onto the conveyor belt..once into the large sorting room..theres a lift at the far side of the room..what do i do next??

theres nothin there to do..the only door there is locked..and the lift dont work!?!?!?

[Darkness2k]

I completed the "hacking" section, got the sound files and chatter from the various characters... gonna try finding some training constructs now

the cheats are actually visible in the film itself, they are on signposts etc .. HeHe bet you didnt know that.

Also the billboards in the game give clues to cheats :)
