Do you believe in Bethesda talent to make INDIANA JONES?

I'd like it to play like Uncharted games, especially since they're not coming out anymore. It's more likely they'll try several semi-open maps with plenty of filler content. And yeah, it has to be TPP.
I don't think it will be a top quality game. The license was probably expensive and there will be pressure to launch it on Game Pass as soon as it's relatively complete.

MachineGames teamed up with rebooted LucasArts. It's gonna be fine.

I don’t see the problem here as this sounds pretty awesome.

My brother in Christ, Machine Games has essentially only made games about punching (mainly killing) Nazis. I honestly doubt they'll have any issue with doing that.

Well it's not just Bethesda now, who arn't making the game, it's the whole gaming industry as a whole, i've saved so much money by not pre ordering and waiting a couple of years for the games to be fixed and cheaper or not bothering to buy at all.

Machine games are a solid studio.
The logical thing would be for this to be third person given the character, but 1st person given the studio. Time will tell.

A great question. I honestly don't now.
I'd like to be wrong, but they need to really prove themselves in this area. I have nothing against that Wolfenstein team, but this is just a completely different genre, IP etc.
But shiiiiiiit I doubted Guerilla Games would nail Horizon Zero Dawn, after all they never even did a game like that, yet that might be the IP they get remembered for in the long run by the majority.
So its a big wait and see

This is the correct answer, absolutely nowhere near the talent to do Indy justice, I could name a dozen studios far better suited (we all know who would do it best) but Bethesda? Fuck no they wouldn't even get on a top 50 contender list... But, let's see
Huh? Medal of Honor and Thief are vastly different in setting and Tone.
On a side note we really do need a new Thief with the same Voice Actor.

If the game is in third person. First person Indiana Jones game wouldn't be as interesting.
I still want this:

They are absolutely solid developers and artists. They are cringe writers recently.

Respawn
Bend
Just my opinion though.

I actually loved the story in W2
Felt like Tarantino on crack. Such a crazy cast of characters. I can understand it's not for everyone though. New Blood was so bad.

One of what? Bend made a pretty dang good Uncharted game for the Vita. Days Gone isn't my favorite game, but still more in line with what I think a Indiana Jones game should be than Wolfenstein.

They need to bring back Ke Huy Quan as adult Short Round.

Yeah, if you like buggy messes with a gameplay loop so boring and one dimensional that makes Ubisoft's game design seem like peak Arkane in comparison, yeah, sure.

My answer was that a first person Indiana Jones game doesn't have to be Medal of Honor with whips, it can be like Thief, Tenchu, Dishonored etc...

I didn't say they would be my first choice, now did I? But would I choose them over Machine games? Sure. They simply have more experience making these type of games.

If the new game is not set in the classic Indy period, it will be bad.
It has to be in a similar time period to the extended universe of Indy - comics, novels etc.
It has to be Indy in his prime

From what we know, the game will have different modes. So it's not impossible it will be at least partially a fps

I agree. And I'm doubtful they would be able to get Harrison Ford to do the voice acting so may be difficult finding a voice actor who will do Indy justice.

No me too fellow old git.
In a world where Uncharted and tomb raider didn't exist it would be perfect. The shame is it will be compared with Uncharted and it won't be good.

that would imply knowing which staff is involved in the game and which is still in bethesda at all, and of course remembering the names of staffers involved in some of their great games of the past.
any studio, with enough money (which they will have) and the right people can create greatness, doesn't matter if called bethesda or whatelese
for sure their rpg engine seems ill suited for an indiana jones game...but they are part of a bit conglomerate, they can get access to a lot of tech, including just using unreal

The Devs have a good pedigree and Metroid Prime/Exhumed/PowerSlave are good reference points for a 1st person shoot and explore style game (we need some third person stuff in there too).
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine had some great puzzles in there too.
I'm going to be controversial and say let's wait and see before judging...

Mr. Ford will 100% not do it due to his age and the budget of the game (he is expensive and doesn't do games. Only movies and documentaries). However, they always find adequate imitators. For example Doug Lee in Fate of Atlantis and Infernal Machine was different but similar and adequate. The actor in Emperor's Tomb, the late David Esch was also adequate.
It will be like Medal of Honor because it will almost certaintly be in the late 30s and have you moving amongst Nazi compounds and Nazi Dig sites atleast a good chunk of the game.
