The demonstration we were treated to was a “super brawl”, with participants in the Sega exhibit booth, a nearby graphics-card booth, and in Monolith Productions in Seattle. In this Matrix-esque battle royale, as many as sixteen participants could be seen slugging away at each other in a large town square. All the moves were signature Matrix moves, including black belt blocks, lightning-fast punches, and of course the “I’m going to kick you in the face five times and pretend your forehead is a staircase” move, a crowd favorite. Prefer your action with a little gunpowder? Several of the brawlers were double-fisting automatic pistols and spraying bullets through the crowd like a disgruntled high-schooler. Plenty of throws and grapples were also included in the action, making the fighting system, which features more than one hundred moves, a combination of Tekken-style martial arts, 3rd-person gun combat, and WWE Wrestling. It was indeed impressive for a massive multiplayer online game. In addition to the fighters, hackers can also enter the action by powering-up or attacking players, though no details were given on what the role hackers really play in the game.
