Antoniades should do this stuff and let Tucker direct an action game. I am not sure they could support two projects at the same time (at least for now) but if they grow the studio hopefully they’ll branch off a little more from the cinematic experience angle and give chances to talented people like Tucker.
Also a 1st party action game wouldn’t be a bad idea, the genre is getting less and less big budget games even considering multiplatform offerings so it could be a good idea.
Rewatching the Indiana Jones movies, still great, timeless really.
Hoping that we learn some actual details on the game this year. I don’t expect any trailers or anything, but just some details. What can we expect it to be like? Will it be similar to something like The Emperor’s Tomb? A game I finished last year and had tons of fun with, especially the hand to hand combat, being able to pick up chairs, tables etc and use as weapon. This is a action adventure.
Or will it be more like Wolfenstein, but with hand to hand combat, whip action etc? Plenty of questions and we have no idea.
It’s a shame that Indy game with the euphoria physics never saw the light of day. That footage was great.
They aren’t first party, but content updates for games like Fortnite, Destiny, Final Fantasy are pretty big deals. No reason that can’t extend to first party games like Halo Infinite.
That’s honestly the main thing I want to know too. If they confirm it to be third person I’ll do a sigh of relief, because something like Indy needs to be third person. It would completely fill that gap of not having a epic third person action adventure similar to Tomb Raider and Uncharted too.
But I’m not willing to bet on it. The studio is solely known for first person. But we’ve had GG as well, started with Killzone and then made Shellshock which was third person if I’m not mistaken, then they made more Killzone until they got to Horizon ZD.
We’ll have to wait and see. It really all depends on their vision and if it does end up first person, I have no doubt they’ll make it work. But in my opinion Emperor’s Tomb, the Tomb Raider and Uncharted games are proof that third person just works. It’s definitely possible MG want to show that it can absolutely be done with FP only too.
