Might of had exclusivity deal for year 2020 this way they can launch day and dot on gamepass.

Not sure if you're joking (apologies if you're lol), but timed exclusivity are almost always like: "X months after release date on [X] platform".

I think it was delayed for more polish, greater install base with more PS5s on the market, and not to cramp it up with Returnal and R&C releases.

I'm curious about the game. Could turn out great. And i mean it's fricking Indiana Jones. What movies can't us give anymore, this game can.
Make the enemy nazis, i mean Indiana Jones has to fight nazis.

It looked like 3d models. Maybe i am missing something
It's definitely a flat 2d image with a bit of mograph fuckery near the end. Looks hand-drawn, too.

If they had actually done high-detail 3D models of all of these props they would have just done a proper 3D trailer.
 
This is a very minor, minor thing, but as a developer, I'm kind of confused when someone says it is in production when it is really in development.

Unless I am totally wrong and they are producing the gold copy version right now?

Developers and producers both work on games.

You are a developer so prefer term in development.

A producer might prefer term in production.

Don't work in game industry but producer seems like a supervisory post, so maybe are more in touch with bosses resulting in greater use of the term.

So all the assets in that trailer few months back... these assets come from thin air?
Of course it's in production
In game development, "production" usually refers to a specific stage of development. I.e. not done and not in some sort of pre-productions stage. They can have assets and concept art and what not and still be not be in production. They can even have playable prototypes too.

Wonder if it will be first person? Very intrigued to see how they handle this. For the adaptation to work they need to be very conservative with the action.

It has to be third-person. A first-person Indiana Jones game will just not work.

Don't you mean a Tomb Raider clone? Which is in itself an Indiana Jones clone.

That's like calling The Beatles a Weezer clone. Man, we can see you PlayStation babies from a mile a way.

I mean in gameplay. Uncharted is a different game to Tomb Raider, especially the older TR games.

PlayStation baby? I do plan to get a PS5, but will be getting a XSX first because of Gamepass and the amazing exclusive games. I've always had both Xbox and PS.

Didn't realise Xbox fanatics could get so defensive. Relax. They're just video games. Nothing to go to war over 😂

Lol come on can’t talk about Indiana Jones being an Uncharted clone and expect people to not mock you for it 😁

And did Uncharted even give birth to any new gameplay? I would say it’s Tomb Raider with Gears of War cover shooting. Which we then got in Tomb Raider 2013 as well which makes the clone talk even more complicated, especially since Uncharted later had a darkhaired curvy woman in ponytail as the lead in Lost Legacy lol

It's ironic that you use the word "gameplay", because arguably it's not, but one thing Uncharted did was to set the stage for those semi-interactive blockbuster setpieces - which, yeah, can be not so great in terms of gameplay. As an audiovisual spectacle though, they can be awesome. Which is definitely something that the 2013 reboot heavily borrowed from, I don't see how you could argue otherwise.

Same here, had no idea Indiana Jones was still a thing in 2021. I feel like maybe it’s just not as popular in Europe.

Machinegames helped Arkane making Deathloop until February? Boy, that doesn’t sound comforting at all
Why? It’s perfectly normal. Big Studios need help all the time. How many external staff and studios are involved in ND games for example.

Looking so forward to seeing what they do with this, I am a huge Indiana Jones Fan.

If they can capture the feel, action scenes of the first two movies, it should be a treat.

IT better not go woke.

I don't know why but this thread made me think of this, oh no. "lollipop_disappointed:

When Uncharted first hit, it was compared to be a mix of TR and Indiana Jones. What I want to see is something completely different than Uncharted with an Indiana Jones skin. That's all I was saying.

Was/is?......so are we not sure if it will get made?......hope it does,I like Wolfenstein and the current story feels unfinished.

I like Wolfenstein even more then Doom in general. I had way more fun with Wolfenstein then Doom 2016 and Eternal. Indiana Jones was cool ages ago...but now? I don't think todays gamers care about this when they will compare it with games like Uncharted and Tomb Raider. Indiana Jones will be more close to Tomb Raider then Uncharted imo.

I get what you’re saying, but as long as the game is great then I would welcome such a game, I wouldn’t mind another type of action adventure though, or an RPG, or platformer.
I’m just glad the original Indy is back! But a lot of the appeal is because of Harrison Ford’s acting style so we’ll see how they’ll tackle that.

Do you develop for hardware/systems or non entertainment use? Because when I hear production in that context I think that the design is done, all HW and SW are fully tested and it is now being built to ship to customers. Of course for movies production means they are making the film and that's basically what term they are using here.
