Edmilson 7,526 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Meh, it's an Xbox exclusive, and I already spent a ton of money on a PS5. Only way I'm getting this if it is somehow the second coming of Uncharted or another classic so unmissable that will compel me to get a Xbox.

Yeah I was bummed by that too cause in all honesty I would rather play it for PS5. I only have a PS4 and Switch and rarely game these days.... But if this game gets good reviews and has decent replayability....and holy shit.... imagine if it has online co-op or multiplayer????....anyways I would probably be getting it and an Xbox. I'm picturing the multiplayer like UC4 with all the legacy characters. Imagine playing as Mutt 😂 Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,526 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Indy is a franchise who could generate some really awesome next-gen adventure games. Something like Uncharted, but set in the 1930s or 40s. With a fun gameplay, nice score, amazing graphics and intriguing story, it could be a really entertaining game. But I'm kinda hoping it isn't so that I don't need to buy an Xbox 2 minutes ago, crumbs said: I'm late to the party but this decision seems really illogical.

ZeniMax Media, who owns Bethesda, was bought by Microsoft a few years ago. So now all of their games are Xbox and PC exclusive, but won't come out on PlayStation.

Popular Post LB Makes Stuff 240 Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 It’s honestly up for debate until next Thursday to be honest. This is a Bethesda game and not from EA, so it’s not as highly likely to get Haab and Barton in here. Clint has been doing WoW as of recently. I’m not sure where Todd Howard sits on film music and whether or not it’s important (to him), so we’ll just have to see. I do think there’s a fair chance Vincent Oppido (composer of the Indiana Jones temple segments in Fortnite) could be in the running.

Fargo 297 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Elder Scrolls is Todd Howard’s baby, right? And that has great music, so I’d be pretty optimistic for this. But then again, I don’t recall Fallout 3 or 4 having many memorable tracks, so who knows. And I didn’t play the Starfield game, so not sure what the music was like for that.

Schilkeman 986 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 This is Machine Games, the makers of the most recent Wolfenstein games, not Bethesda proper. I doubt Todd Howard will have much to do with it, especially if he's trying to right the ship of Starfield. Fargo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schilkeman 986 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Given Todd Howard's more recent output, that's probably a good thing. Although I'm not aware of any Bethesda developer making third-person action games. It'll be interesting to see how it comes out. I think we're supposed to see some of it at a Microsoft event soon.

crumbs 14,364 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 New developers getting involved in the game's production... Quote We've known for quite some time now that it's being developed by MachineGames, but a new rumor suggests that 343 Industries, id Software, and Tango Gameworks are handling co-development duties on the project. That rumor was shared on the Xbox Infinite Podcast by co-host @Middleagegamegy, and would seem to suggest that Xbox is putting a lot of resources into this new game! MachineGames is already a big deal, as the studio has worked on franchises like Wolfenstein and Quake. However, 343 Industries has worked on Halo, id Software has worked on Doom, and Tango Gameworks has worked on Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within. Between these four development teams, that's a lot of strong experience, and that could result in a better product. Maybe I'm behind the times on how modern video games are developed but having 4 studios co-developing one title seems... weird. One could assume MachineGames were in over their heads, or management weren't happy with their progress. In other news, eagle-eyed fans discovered Lucasfilm has apparently registered multiple trademarks and domains for “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” (potentially the game’s title?)

I keep up to date on the new stuff, but haven't played a new game about 3 years. I gave my PS5 to the kids. There's so much old stuff I've never gotten to that I'm now finding much more rewarding. Modern game development is unsustainable without a host of predatory consumer practices, and the psychology of modern game design has killed the hobby for me.

Schilkeman 986 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Without writing a 5000 word essay about my issues with those games, I'll say that they both suffer from what I call endorphin-first game design. Their size and polish distract from what is a fairly basic activity/reward system, facilitated in the case of Mario with level design that bored me to tears, and in the case of Zelda, systems that overlap, designed solely for the increase of work, and to give the illusion of choice and progress. It's trickery. And don't get me started on the ever-more-slippery, frictionless nightmare that is the movement in Mario Odyssey.

For me the platonic ideal of 3D Mario movement is probably Sunshine (minus FLUDD) or 64. Those games are sticky and have weight, especially 64.

Those are fundamentally first-person games with a vanity mode, and more to the point, Machine Games has never made a third-person game. Neither has Id, or Arkane, or any of the other studios who could be helping on this game. Only Tango has released a third-person game, and that only recently. I'm not saying they can't, just that I'm not surprised they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePenitentMan1 754 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Indy's got the Bapty! ...I think I may have to do an Indy Gear mod for this game as well, once I can get ahold of the textures. The hat, jacket, and pants look too light in these clips. Of course, that might get fixed by the time the game's released.

Same in the German trailer, where they didn't use Harrison Ford's German voice actor Wolfgang Pampel (78), BUT: They've used Florian Clyde (40), who voiced Aaron Eldenreich in the Solo movie, and who - at least in Solo - managed an impressive impersonation of the young Wolfgang Pampel. It didn't work as well in this trailer, but either dialogue direction will get him there for the final game, or they'll hopefully use Pampel one last time (even at 78, it's just the German voice you associate with Ford, who he voiced since Star Wars).

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If there's one thing Machine Games is good at it's making killing Nazis a lot of fun. From the glimpses of combat they seem to have captured the very stylised violence of Spielberg's films; those punches have real heft to them. Remains to be seen how the game will go though. It's obvious they wanted to steer clear of Uncharted territory, specifically the climbing mechanics of that series. It makes sense, seeing as those games were direct homages to Indy and pretty much wrote the book on how you'd make a modern Indy game, but I'm not entirely convinced a FPS approach will work for Indy. For one, FPS games are not known for their intricate puzzle design, and I'd be extremely disappointed if that aspect of the game is lacking. But who knows, perhaps that's why there's 4(!) studios attached to the game - one of them are bound to make a good puzzle or two. Here's an extended look at the game, and it's chock-full of what I assume is the new score. It's Gordy Haab doing what he does best; classic 80's Williams. I look forward to hearing it in full: Suro-Zet and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
