May 19, 200520 yr I was bored and browsing the Lucasarts main page and saw this little tidbit of information. I wonder if Lucasarts will screw up this franchise as it did with some of the shoddy products in the Star Wars franchise.

May 19, 200520 yr If I thought for a second it would follow in the footsteps of Fate of Atlantis, I would be interested. However, it speaks of AI and physics. I'm thinking 'Tomb Raider'. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
May 19, 200520 yr Yeah, considering the last Indiana Jones Game was a lot more like Tomb Raider than Fate of Atlantis, I think it's a safe bet the next Indy-game will be an action adventure too. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
May 20, 200520 yr Last Indy games were decent so have no fear HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
May 20, 200520 yr Last Indy games were decent so have no fear <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The first ones were better..Fate of Atlantis is still oe of the best Adventure games around and I'd love them to get back at doing adventures...but I doubt they will..as they said,they won't do a game that doesn't sell well,and they belive Adventure don't sell Now the last 2 games were good,that's for sure ,but I'd just want them to do a quest again.
May 21, 200520 yr Last Indy games were decent so have no fear <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you joking? I have a tough time saying they rip off Tomb Raider since Tomb Raider was based on Indy to start with but they were pretty much the same as Tomb Raider and that was not good since its became a tired formula real fast. Best way to make a Indy game is a hybrid of a adventure game with action sequences.
May 21, 200520 yr Forget this Tomb Raider clone crap business. If LA wants to revive the Indy series, they should go back to the FoA adventure roots which made the genre indomitable. However, 2d point-and-click adventures are all but obsolete (unfortunately), so my preference would be to emulate something like Beyond Good and Evil.
May 21, 200520 yr Point and Clicks are not dead.... I can't belive that...half of my games are point and clicks I would surely buy another one..and I know a lot of people who would I honestly can't view them as dead ot dieing... Just look at games like Still Life or Vampire Story

May 21, 200520 yr Fanboy This sounds promising. I'll surely look into it. The last Indy game lacked depth, but the musics made the atmosphere so damn great. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.

May 21, 200520 yr Emperor's Tomb was to Infernal Machine what Attack of the Clones was to Phantom Menace. :ph34r:

May 22, 200520 yr Either slightly better or even worse, Im guessing, depending upon his point of view. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
May 22, 200520 yr Personally, I haven't played it, so I wouldnt know. My prior post was an extrapolation of jaguar's analogy, which admittedly I might have misinterpreted. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
May 22, 200520 yr I thought Emperor's Tomb was fun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was a Tomb Raider clone, fun or not it looked LA was just going down Eidos road intead of doing something inovative, the fact they abandoned the new Indy direction just shows it failed its objectives. My biggest grip was taking away the Nazis and replace then by sovients ... it simply did not feel right to me.
May 22, 200520 yr "inovative" Innovative often = boring. I'll take fun, any day over 'innovative crap'. As for the IJ game; doesn't sound like my type of game. If only it was a RPG... or a sports game.. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
May 22, 200520 yr I played the Emperors Tomb demo which was alright but the Infernal Machine demo was much better (you can tell how much I love those Indy games). But since I haven't played more than 1 level of each game I should shut up. I am however looking forward to this new one and since I plan on getting a next-gen at launch I'll probably pick it up if its any good. Alas, the old point and click adventures are but a fond memory but there's always ScummVM. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.

Saying it was a Buffy clone would be more accurate, since Collective developed it using the same tech. Soviets? I was beating up Nazis and Turks. twitter tyme

Does anyone here remember the Algiers (I think), level in FoA...and the escapade with the red fez - ah, those were the days. :D

May 25, 200520 yr Author Surprisingly, I've never played an Indian Jones game. Depending on early reviews, this might be a game I keep an eye on (even though 2007 is still quite some time down the road).

May 25, 200520 yr Surprisingly, I've never played an Indian Jones game. And here I thought you were a respectable gamer... <_< I think you can redeem yourself easily, though. Aren't the old Indy games abandonware by now? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Aren't the old Indy games abandonware by now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I played Pitfall (the original version).
