Check out this little interview that's from the March issue of Game Informer Magazine with Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. He basically he says they wanna extend Indiana Jones' game legacy by more regularly produce Indy games, also keeping in mind that a new indy movie is coming out in the next couple of years....
Q: LucasArts used to be known for making really unique original properties like Day of the Tentacle, then fell back primarily on Star Wars products exclusively. Are original games going to be a focus for the company?
A: We have three main goals. One is to restimulate the Star Wars IP with high quality games. Secondly, we're going to reinvigorate the Indiana Jones IP, which has basically been stagnant for years. There's no reason that Indiana Jones can't be a James Bond and have a year-in, year-out great representation of that brand. And take advantage of the fact that, in the next couple of years, there will be a new Indiana Jones movie. The third leg of this is definetely new IP. There's a heritage built into the DNA of LucasArts, and that's creativity and innovation. We need to move beyond the IP that we have. We certainly lost that. We lost that as the console console marketplace came into being; it was very strong on the PC platform. Once the company missed the adaptation of the console platforms, we've been in catch-up mode ever since. But that's going to change.
Hmmm, Now thats some exciting news, more Indy games at last. But I must admit mabye this might not be good news after all. First off waiting so long for Indy games was not that bad, personnaly scince I dont play games too often it gave me something to look forward to and secondly I sure hope that after this, Indy games don't get stale and repetitive like the Star Wars games that Lucas Arts has done. Lets just hope that what we make up for in number of games we dont lose in quality. But Hey more Indy games would be great and I am probaly just worying about nothing.
ACTION sucks and i really think that the emperors tomb cant be compared to FOA nor LC or even to the infernal machine, if you like action get a bond game, indy is not about action, is about ADVENTURE
I think Emperor's Tomb and Infernal Machine were both great games(though not on the same level as FOA) and I think a new Indy action/adventure would be great. Think of it this way the Collective made all their mistakes on ET and will be able to fix them in the next game. Another good thing is that Lucas Arts already did a survey so they should know a bit more about what the Fans are looking for in a new Indy game. Let's just hope that for the above reasons we are in for a great new game
lol, true but, we are considering here something evident, its not if action has a name, its if adventure has a name, as i said before Indy is not Bond nor Rambo, so he isnt supposed to have that much fights, but a lot of suspense, drama, some action too of course, but the prob was with FOA that he had everything even 3 ways to play it so it would fit the tastes of all, maybe they could do something similar with this one
Well they donīt suck, but they donīt give the Indy spirit, i would like a game to have the adventure and puzzles of FOA, but with the graphics, and action scenes of emperors, but i want more ADVENTURE! than action, and no, using the whip is not adventure, but solving puzzles is
and I am probaly just worying about nothing.
but still great news!
im still in love with FOA sry
