Its from a brain storming session. I don't see the big deal about this.


The big deal is that this is obviously how the game turned out - and the ending is terrible.  I work in film and story development - and when we brainstorm for a short film or an advirtisement we have a similar process to this.  You don't want to see my hand written notes I promise you.  But the difference is we then take those notes and move from there into something that is usually completely different and often times better.

What I see here is brainstorming that went right into final development - I'm sure there was some more notes and flow charts in between - but none of it was complex or involving more than 3 endings, which means they (the devs and writer) were lying to us the entire time about having 16/17 different endings.  In reality this game has 3 endings, that are all based on a repeated theme.

That's the problem with these notes:  They show us exactly how lazy the ending story development was which resulted in the terrible ending we got.

As a side note - anyone who is educated in visual story development knows that you don't use the Matrix trilogy as inspiration, especially the ending of the last film.  That whole series, while it started out good, has so many different plot holes and story issues.  The Matrix was amazing because of it's techincal achievements, not its story.

He got it better than I did and I was one post later. :happy:

The actual method for getting the ending is rather irrelevant. There have been many books that were written by some scribbled notes on a napkin. The disappointing part is that the ending feels as disorganized as the notes.

It's very real, Mac Walters wrote the last scene on a piece of note paper. 

That actually explains a lot! And these are supposed to be professionals??

It was an insight into the mind of a man who obviously didn't give a damn.

Neither, but I did have to suppress an inordinate amount of anger boiling up inside me.

That or running out of time. 

Sigh.... it's really... really sad... maybe they needed another year of development?

This reflects the actual world financial crisis. They ended up hiring the first retarded that they found. This is a total disrespect with the fans.

I didn't laugh or cry. I was appalled. That Mac actually thinks that the Matrix had a well written ending, or that his ending is anywhere remotely like it makes me scratch my head to the point of a bloody scalp.
