I’m glad it’s first person. Last thing I wanted was another 3rd person cinematic experience with the slow walk and chats.

 

[Topher]

Troy Baker is killing it. The vocals so far sound as close to perfect as I could have imagined. This looks phenomenal.

Wait.....was that Troy Baker as Indy? When the trailer first started I thought they actually got Harrison Ford. Baker is amazing.

So what's the difference if it is in first person and you have a NPC slow walking and chatting. We had that in Starfield.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Jesus this dude is talented. While watching the show I thought the actor they got to play Indy sounded almost spot on to a young Harrison Ford.

 

[Varteras]

This looks like an Indy game...

 

[LordBlodgett]

I am so excited for this! I do love adventure games, loved Uncharted 1-3, Loved the Tomb Raider reboots. I also really enjoyed the last two Wolfenstein games (never played the DLC everyone whines about though), so I love everything about this game. The voice wasn't perfect Indy, but everything looks and feels like exactly what I want out of a Indiana Jones game!

 

[Senua]

When did everyone start hating first person games?

 

[mayham2199]

Some of the best games ever made are first person so the whining about it is fucking bizarre. Games like this can totally work in that perspective as well, for example; Thief, Butchers Bay, and Dishonored come to mind.

I wont speak for everyone else but I can't stand FP combat melee. So hopefully whip and gun will be very viable. In Thief and Dishonored I went full Stealth just to avoid the combat. Avowed will be full magic for me as well.

 

[Robb]

Not sure about it being first person, although it was kind of expected considering the developers.

Looks fun though! Pretty great trailer. I’ll check it out for sure.

 

[dem]

When did everyone start hating first person games?

When their daddy stopped making them

 

[What A Shame...]

1st Person is a strange choice. Would've preferred a Jedi Academy-style perspective where it's 1st person when holding guns and 3rd person when you change to the whip/sword/melee.

Still looks sick either way.

 

[Superkid93]

I don't like this. Is this based on the last movie?

Nice job watching the trailer lol

 

[marjo]

When did everyone start hating first person games?

Since Sony stopped making them.

 

[Ristifer]

When did everyone start hating first person games?

Since Xbox.

 

[KungFucius]

Are you fucking serious? Amature decision.

It is an amateur decision to shit on a game because it is FP. How the fuck did you ever get into games if you don't like FP games?

 

[Chuck Berry]

I wont speak for everyone else but I can't stand FP combat melee.

You should check out Breakdown or really, Starbreeze's Escape From Butcher Bay. They got it right.

These guys can handle first person melee. No worries there.

 

[gothmog]

I hope it's fun. I love everything I saw. Slightly worried about the first person perspective but hopefully they nail it.

 

[LordBlodgett]

The biggest issue with first person is that it minimizes the most recognizable thing about Indiana Jones - his silhouette. You always know that it's him in the movies as soon as you see this:

If you were to take a glance at this game during the moment-to-moment gameplay, there is very little that signals to you that this game is Indiana Jones and not just any other first-person shooter. You are only reminded of the fact during the occasional third-person cut away. It's a huge blunder by the developers and no amount of "it's in first-person to really make you feel like Indy!" is going to fix it.

Yep, not having his silhouette makes this game basically unplayable!

 

[amigastar]

Hmm, honestly i'm not so sure. Have to see more of it to decide.

 

[Stuart360]

Wait.....was that Troy Baker as Indy? When the trailer first started I thought they actually got Harrison Ford. Baker is amazing.

I take it you havent seen Dial of Destiny yet Topher?. Trust me on this, it was better to get Troy in this than 80yo Ford.

 

[NeonDelta]

Or....

or a metroidvania in the ilk of this…

 

[Punished Miku]

Jesus this dude is talented. While watching the show I thought the actor they got to play Indy sounded almost spot on to a young Harrison Ford.

If you never played The Medium, he's the main monster. Its truly shocking and impressive.

 

[transformer]

Game looks great. The exploration and puzzle solving look really promising can’t wait to play.

I also learned today that many people apparently hate first person games? News to me. I suppose they could have just gained for an uncharted clone, but this is right up Machinegames’ expertise and providing something new. I’ll take that over copying others.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm pumped. I wish it was coming out sooner. Its going to be a holiday game isn't it. Sadge!

Legit blown me away and exceeded my expectations. They are a great developer.

 

[proandrad]

The screenshots don't do the game justice, the 4k60fps trailer looks great.

 

[fran.fernandez]

FPS?

out!

look at the cyberpunk thread buddy. no conspiracy theories

 

[mayham2199]

I tried it in Butcher Bay just doesn't work. It's just not a form of combat I enjoy. Even in Skyrim I can only go mage or archer. This game seems to have more than just melee combat so I think I'll be fine either way.

 

[Topher]

I take it you havent seen Dial of Destiny yet Topher?. Trust me on this, it was better to get Troy in this than 80yo Ford.

No, I haven't and seen Dial and don't plan to. Well they got a guy who nailed Indy at least. Dude has some talent.

 

[Roufianos]

It is an amateur decision to shit on a game because it is FP. How the fuck did you ever get into games if you don't like FP games?

Yes it is.

If literally the most common takeaway from your game unveil is you got the wrong perspective then you mi
messed up.

Not to mention that they know that parts of the game will require 3rd person yet they still persisted with the awkward hybrid.

As for how I got into games, Metal Gear Solid bro. If you're on about online shooters, Socom 2.

 

[Neff]

I wannit

 

[Represent.]

When did everyone start hating first person games?

This is an action game. I want to see the action and my character do cool shit. The combat is guaranteed to be underwhelming now. And the graphics aren’t good enough to make you feel immersed.

Despite what they tell you,
It’s an amateur decision fueled by their lack of confidence to go at Uncharted or Tomb Raider in the 3rd person action adventure department

 

[JCK75]

People prior to today - We already have uncharted. Why are they making this?


Today - first person? What the hell? Why didn't they just make another uncharted?

 

[BigLee74]

Rub me up with baby oil, Mola Ram! I’m all over this. First person, third person, who cares? I will be Indiana Jones.

Looks amazing!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

LMAO at the whip screen shot.

 

[Topher]

When did everyone start hating first person games?

Not thinking this game should be in first person does not equate to hating first person games.

 

[Ozriel]

Yes it is.

If literally the most common takeaway from your game unveil is you got the wrong perspective then you mi
messed up.

Just so you know, that was exactly the common takeaway from the public when it was revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 was first person. Pretty much everyone expected a third person game.

Certainly didn’t mess that game up, eh?

I doubt anyone expected Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay to be a first person game after seeing the movies.

I certainly didn’t want it to be First Person pre-show. But the showing looks really good, and I’m looking forward to the release.

 

[Fake]

Nice job watching the trailer lol

I watched, thats why I asked lmao.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Have you watched Dial of Destiny?

Anything after last crusade doesn’t count

 

[Ozriel]

First person takes me completely out of it. I understand their idea is "you ARE Indiana Jones" but I didn't need to be in first person to feel like I was Nathan Drake, or Lara Croft, or Arthur Morgan, or John Marston

But not a single one of those characters existed as an iconic movie franchise character prior to the games. Nobody had “be Nathan Drake” as a tagline for the first Uncharted game because nobody knew who he was.
duh

A female investigative reporter that tags along for personal reasons that acts as the secondary protagionst? My, how original.

accusing the game of a lack of originality in having a female sidekick, right after knocking it for not being an Uncharted clone?

Watching what was made available today, it looks objectively worse than Uncharted 4 did in terms of both cutscenes and third person gameplay elements. That game is 8 years and a generation old.

‘Third person gameplay elements’ make up a small fraction of the gameplay, and that’s just stuff like going up ropes, climbing etc. that’s what you’re comparing to an entire third person game?

 

[BlackTron]

Not surprise with the comments here....no matter what people will always complain about Xbox games lololol

Will buy day 1, glad to see the franchise finally getting a modem game.

Try harder. People here gives Xbox games their fair shake, probably more fair than the average. And also bitch about many recurring issues in Playstation games they do not like.

I know it's scary to think that opinions that don't align with yours might actually come from some place other than blind fanboyism, but you'll get there

 

[trikster40]

This is the only game that really makes me want an Xbox. I'm a sucker for Indiana Jones.

Except Crystal Skull. Still trash.

 

[penguinspl]

1st person? WTF? Why is so hard for MS to make a pure 3rd person SP game? Why?

Cyberpunk says halo not very game needed to Hy Sony TPP ffs

 

[Clintizzle]

Finally got to see the trailer at home on my TV and this looks good! Hopeful for some good puzzles. #PunchingNazisSimulator

 

[Gravemind]

They wanted it to be an uncharted clone so they could make fun of it for being an uncharted clone and tell everyone how they aren't going to buy it even though they wouldn't buy it no matter what it was or how good it is.

 

[Porticus]

I can see Draugoth forgot to put the stream at 4K and grabbed the 720p one.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Looks fookin mint!!!

Glad they went FP. Distinguishes itself from Uncharted. Should make for a much more original, fresh feeling experience.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

This is the only game that really makes me want an Xbox. I'm a sucker for Indiana Jones.

Except Crystal Skull. Still trash.

Maybe my expectations for media just get continually battered as I get older, but I rewatched Crystal Skull the other day and didn't mind it as much as when I first watched it. Samme for the prequel Star Wars trilogy ... again, maybe I'm just so inundated with modern bullshit movies I've just lowered my standards lol

 

[BlackTron]

It is an amateur decision to shit on a game because it is FP. How the fuck did you ever get into games if you don't like FP games?

You guys are freaking me out. It's insane that someone who roasts another on "getting into games" thinks a) everyone should like FPS and b) any and every game could and should be one!

Saying this as someone who plays FPS every day. I don't expect it to be everyone's genre, and I think it was a dogshit amateur decision on this game.

You're welcome to add your differing opinion without acting like the other board members are "lesser gamers" over it

 

[SantaC]

People really thought that a 80 year old Ford would voice a man in his 30s?
