The Oracle's apartment is not in Mara

... at least not in the movies. Just look at the sequence were Neo flies through the city and lands on the building rooftop.

First, he flies through a Downtown-like district with shiny tall skyscrapers. Tabor Park to the east of Mara has quite tall office buildings, but they mostly look shabbier and lower than those in that sequence. To its north, there are Uriah and the aqueduct, and to the West, the Barrens. So there's no Downtown-like area anywhere near Mara.

After he crosses a road, we see a number of apartment buildings with a similiar shape like those in Eshean, Moriah and partially in Magog. Between these buildings, you can see trees. It really doesn't look like anything near Debir Court.

Any thoughts?

lol...He has a point. Remember when Newo flew to see her, she wasn't there? She must have moved. Would make sense as I bet many programs would be after her eyes.

Well, her apartment in the cinematics is undoubtedly in Richland, you can see it in the window or during Morpheus' jump. It should be Mara, but could also be Apollyon or Dannah Heights, not sure about that.

I was really referring to the sequence in Reloaded, because I've heard people saying "If you look at that scnee you'll see that the buildings are just like those around Debir Court". That's what I wanted to adjust here. Quite possible that she's moved her apartment to another area, I wasn't arguing that.

You see debir court in the Morpheus jump movie if you look close enough. And if you look out the window of her apartment you can get a good idea of what floor she is on aswell.

Well, Mara then.

I know what your saying..but the game world wasnt made block by block just like the movies.

Well, not block by block is one thing ... entirely different is another SMILEY

Yeah she wouldn't stick around in the same area otherwise she might get tracked down by someone like the merovingian.

#11700000442 04/20/2006 15:07:29 Re: The Oracle's apartment is not in Mara

She probably used to live in Moriah Projects. That's what I first thought when I saw all those identical tenement buildings: just like the ones that Neo flies to at the beginning of Reloaded.

What I said SMILEY But in the first movie, there was also a sequence where Neo and Co. were driving to her apartement in a car, and what could be seen from the window really didn't look like Moriah.

The apartment is different tthan what you see in the movies. Notice the kitchen doesnt have a round table it has a square one. The apartment has a kitchen in it's living room and a Fire escape with a door (Cinamatic 1.1). Lets say the Matrix changed so much she wanted to live in an apartment that was different.
