I hope Indiana Jones is a mix of first and third person. I think it would be cool to play an Indy game in first person.

I just saw a tweet that said Todd Howard in a interview last year apparently said its a mixture of third and first. Did Todd really say this I wonder, I do recall reading that though.

Then my question is, is that like Emperorā€™s Tomb where we played in third person and we switch to first if we want to aim our gun and shoot? Or more like Riddick, where it was most of the time first person, but iirc third person when we stand against a wall and pop out to shoot?

I think it will be like Riddick which is cool. I warmed up to the idea of first person due to their not being that big of a market for first person adventure games. I hope there is some cool traversal in the game because I still remember the chills Iā€™ve felt when playing Mirrorā€™s Edge for the first time

I see what you mean and MG can make it work, Iā€™m sure. But they do need to slow movement down compared to Wolfie, itā€™s too fast there, haha.

I would be OK with it too, but Iā€™d love if itā€™s more like Tomb Raider and Uncharted, God I really miss the Tomb Raider games. I really want to see Indy when controlling him, the leather jacket with cool physics, great animations etc. But Iā€™m guessing development would take a lot longer for that too, having to make all those animations and such.

I donā€™t recall him ever saying this

What I remember him saying was that it was a unique mashup of things and genres which tbh sounds very much like Indy

But it says nothing in regards to FP/TP

Based on that I expect mission-based, each mission with a new gimmick.

Damn. Then what I read last year must have been speculation or rumors by insiders.

XboxEra Podcast episode #166 is where @Shpeshal_Nick shared information about the camera perspectives.

Iā€™m more curious about voice/look, Indy isnā€™t like Batman where everyone has their favourite, when people think Indy they think Harrison Ford

Do they try something completely new or do they go with his face and a soundalike, I canā€™t imagine theyā€™ll use his voice at his age and he sure ainā€™t doing motion capture lol

Aaaah, it was Nick after all. After having seen it again, yep, this was exactly it!

Interesting how six months ago he heard that it was still quite a ways away. So a 2024 release really sounds surprising, assuming that turns out to be correct.

As for what he says about the camera views, that actually does not sound bad at all.

The person in Emperorā€™s Tomb did a nice job, but that wasnā€™t Ford.

Why donā€™t they use AI to imitate Fordā€™s voice? Lol.

Suicide Squad previews got many negatives; more than I ever seen. I mean even Redfall got many positives before the unfortunate; as if those updates are getting the point of the preview impression. Anyway, Iā€™m worried for Rocksteady. I sense judgment day.

After the few days weā€™ve been through for a bunch of noises, maybe a new Doom will be announced at DD.

Itā€™ll be called Doom : The Thirdā€¦ Party

Just bought Alan Wake 2 and Robocop.

I mean itā€™s not like I donā€™t need to continue with Starfield and a big ass backlog begging to get played.

But the price was too good.
