I don’t understand the even mild hype for this. Graphics are an 8, gameplay nearly non existent. All we have hope for is a good story, maybe puzzles? But then my optimism came in. Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay.

There’s hope

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Horrible trailer, goofy game.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Riddick had none of this cringe and it masterfully balanced gameplay and cutscenes. MachineGames sucks. They have no sense of pacing, their style is "we liked a 2009 Tarantino movie" and their gameplay blows.
At least they're done raping Wolfenstein.

 

[Arachnid]

That Nazi dude was genuinely fkn hilarious

 

[SmurfMustard]

Loved it. I think Troy Baker does a good enough impression.
Avowed in November and then Indy in December. We'll be eating good.

 

[rodrigolfp]

VR mod will be glorious. \o/

 

[CityHunter1981]

Looks good and fun, but don’t like it that it seems that most of the time the woman is by your side, I don’t want to listen to her telling me what I can already see.

Also I wish they wouldn’t have Troy Baker voicing Indiana Bones, most of the time he is not even trying to sound like Indiana Jones and it just sounds like Troy’s normal voice. I am sure there are cheaper options to get a Harrison Ford sound alike if you cannot get Ford to do it.

"Modern Gaming Audience"
Those words are a death sentence for a game.

If they arent supposed to have a modern gaming audience win mind then who exactly do you expect them to make games for lol?

I just don't understand this complaint

The Italian actress that dub gina

Hope she dubs the italian version tho

Warming up on this, looks great.

Everything they're saying sounds awesome. A demo or something will probably help remove a lot of people's concerns.

One word for you… Nostalgia

 

[Revolutionary]

One word for you… Nostalgia

Nostalgia couldn't even get audiences in seats to watch an actual Indy movie last year.

This game is going to flop so hard.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Warming up on this looks great.

I just want to see gameplay that isn't clipped at 1-2 seconds. I don't even know what game to compare this games combat to? First person melee is usually awkward af. And it is a little concerning that they are marketing cinematics over gameplay

 

[Audiophile]

I just can't get past the faces, a narrative-heavy big title based on a (mostly) well-loved franchise and they couldn't come up with something a bit tighter..?

Agreed and agreed!

I'm sure we'll get that, but i liked what i saw in the video and the showcase the other day. I have a feeling this will get a 6 month delay, which is fine. I'd rather they get it right instead of shovelling shit out of the door like as of late.

The movie flopped because it was a pile of shit. If the game is decent it will be fine.

We'll see I guess, cautiously optimistic about this one.

Oh, what, games should only be written by straight people?

Of course not. Games can be written by anyone. The issue is when writers sexual identity is the main thing about them and then they try to self insert that into their games.

Well written games can have characters of all types, because that’s just a small facet of them. Bad games make that the main theme.

 

[StereoVsn]

What forced ideology was in the trailer? Indy’s on an adventure and gonna be killing some Nazis. Which has kinda been his thing since the first movie.

Is it just because his sidekick is a woman? Or are you just looking for things to be upset about?

I didn’t see anything here that was out of character for the Indy we’ve known for 40 years (except Baker’s voice)

Yeah, I thought the trailer was very much an Indy movie in spirit. I mean look at the first three good movies and compare to the trailer. It’s not too far from the actual good Indy films.

 

[StereoVsn]

Same, very excited for this. Lack of gameplay is somewhat concerning but its machinegames, I have faith.





Machinegames 100% has a boner for killing nazis and I’m here for it just like the first 3 times.

 

[Jesb]

Game looks good to me. And if they nail some of the humour and puzzles could be a real winner. The developer is good I expect a 7-8 at minimum from this game. I’m hopeful this delivers because there’s not a lot to look forward to this year.

 

[JayK47]

I want it to be a decent game. Without any new Uncharted or Tomb Raider games, it could fill the void nicely. But I will keep my expectations low.

Here's 15 seconds



It will play like a Machinegame Wolfenstein and I can't wait tbh

 

[EverydayBeast]

Game looks damn good I view Indiana jones as uncharted 6.

Looks like a slower-paced Wolfenstein segment.

Can't wait.

I doubt you will be running and gunning down nazis in the same way you are in Wolfenstein. If Indy is mostly a stealth game, that is fine. It fits Indy. I just want to see more of it. We are kind of left in the dark what the gameplay loop is

 

[Killer8]

Of course they aren't going to say they took inspiration from the 'problematic' Temple of Doom...

What happened to 5? Did your AI programming auto-skip that one for some reason?

We really are. I'm guessing from what I've seen it's stealth/puzzles, with some very limited and occasional gunplay (the part of the trailer where he fired the gun seemed really simplistic). I really have no idea how this is going to turn out, but I don't get a great feeling from the trailers or the small amounts of gameplay we've seen.
