I was just thinking with Paramount owning part of the rights to Indy, it probably means no new games as well. This whole Disney merger f#~ked the Indiana Jones franchise in the @$$!!!
Indy's brother said:Does the acquisition of Lucasfilm include LucasArts?
What licensing issues? Paramount owns the distribution rights to any Indiana Jones films, meaning that if Indy V is ever made, they get to have a say on that.Henry W Jones said:I'm not worried whether not Disney can make a good game, my concern is with the licensing issues with Paramount, like the films, they probably have to get Paramount to sign off on it.
Finn said:Exactly was it says on the tin. Paramount has the movie distributing rights. Movie. Whatever other media Indy appears in is decided by whoever currently owns those publishing rights, and if none, the actual IP holder.
It's the same thing as the deal Lucas had with 20th Century Fox concerning the existing six Star Wars films. Or do you really think George asked for Fox's approval every time he wished to release a new EU piece (approx. 500 times a year), be it a novel, comic book, video game or whichever?
Given how Indy video games have never veered outside LucasArts, which was part of the deal... then yes, Disney could potentially release a new Indy game.
And you didn't censor yourself, but did the total opposite: circumvented the stop word engine.
