The Stranger said:More than anything, I would sincerely love if they started a new series of Indiana Jones "point and click" videogames... new stories, high resolution Myst style pre-rendered graphics (if you know what I mean), maybe even some gameplay innovations, like adding some extra action sequences or interactive cinematics from time to time.
That would be fantastic. I have never really digested the fact that old style adventures had to unfairly fell into oblivion, just because of the advent of 3D technologies.
Some of the best and most successful videogames of all time STILL are to be found among those old fashioned jewels. And there were also a good number of modern "point and click" adventures that managed to get the praise of millions of gamers and critics worldwide.
I mean, this is the freaking proof that adventure games are STILL interesting... but as if this didn't count at all, the 99.9 % of the software houses prefer to work on standard cliché "I've-already-seen-em-all" 3D platforms and shooters... I don't understand... but I'm sad, somehow...
So true, so true...time for an intellectual game to surface, for Indy. I would rather have a set of point and click adventures in the vein of FoA than a new movie, actually... partly because I'd rather see Jones in the 30s than the 50s.
