GhostofAnakin Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 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.

SteveThaiBinh Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 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.

Nur Ab Sal Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baley Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 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.

Drakron Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguars4ever Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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.

Baley Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musopticon? Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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.

Drakron Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 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.

Volourn Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 "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.

Jumjalum Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 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.

GhostofAnakin Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 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).

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.
