The Elder Scrolls: Indiana

DrezDrez Registered User regular
So, Bethesda just announced a brand new Indiana Jones game, in partnership with Machine Games and Lucasfilm Games.



I'm waaaaaaay more excited for this than whatever the next Indiana Jones film will be. Indiana Jones games hold a special place in my heart, particularly Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure which is a point-n-click graphic adventure covering the events of the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film and Fate of Atlantis which is a point-n-click game which delves into the fabled Atlantis and its possible fate.

But many Indiana Jones games have been great, not just those two. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine was a pretty good Tomb Raider clone and even the cheapo Indiana Jones Desktop Adventures was a good time.

Anyway, this looks great. Any thoughts?

By the way, this will probably be Xbox exclusive as Microsoft now owns Bethesda.

    Machine Games certainly has the Nazi Killing pedigree for the license. Will reserve judgement until we actually see gameplay.

    As I noted in the [Xbox] thread--given how long it's been since the last Indiana Jones video game from long-defunct LucasArts, I'd welcome this over another crack at Wolfestein where B.J. or his offspring or his understudy or their offspring massacre a whole army of Nazi cyborgs but somehow lose more of North American to the Fourth Reich or whatever. I just personally think, stunning visuals aside, that franchise is a little tired and could use a break.

    I am worried about how you make an Indiana Jones game that doesn't feel like a 80-year-old version take on Uncharted, itself a kind of generic globe-trotting adventure where you fight generic takes on Nazis with more modern equipment. Tomb Raider's reboot gradually ran into this issue as well, though even young Lara Croft isn't as "generic white guy" as Nathan Drake. Hopefully this are just unjustified fears.

    I mean, even though many of the past Indiana Jones games are good, Fate of Atlantis has been my absolute favorite by leaps and bounds.

    Just make the first photorealistic point-n-click adventure ever. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase. I want to make a photorealistic Indiana Jones shove orichalcum down a ghost's throat or something.

    That...would honestly be a refreshing, welcome take. The last couple of Indiana Jones games from LucasArts were, technically, very impressive and actually ahead of their times in some way for 3D action adventure games, but they were overshadowed by the juggernaut that was the original Tomb Raider trilogy, which, by virtue of not having ultra-convenient Nazi badguys just lying around, actually had to be relatively inventive with their dinosaurs, swamp monsters, aliens, government G-men, etc., for Lara to nonchalantly massacre like the busty aristocratic sociopath she was. It was impossible to not make the comparison, even though they were still good games.

    The problem might be that going in the Uncharted clone direction (itself a Tomb Raider clone) seems maybe like a squandered opportunity, even if it's still a really fun experience. I mean, historically, what stopped the Nazis was when +20 million men and women in the USSR gave up their lives to crush the Greater German Empire over four years, so at this point, maybe another ahistorical future massacre where their sacrifice apparently meant nothing is a little...tired?

    But Indiana Jones as detective-researcher stopping the Reich from getting its hands on some other ancient Abrahamic superweapon artefact? I could definitely get behidn that personally.

    Yeah, I'd love an adventure game too, but I think we all know that's unlikely. So at least make the Nazi punching good. Like, real good.

    Yup. I doubt it will be a point-and-click adventure game. More likely is that it will be an FPS or Tomb Raider/Uncharted style game.

    Yeah, it almost definitely won’t be a point-n-click.

    You know the old proverb: If wishes were fine leather jackets, even Biff the Nazi would probably wear one even though he probably wouldn’t fit into one unless it was a point-n-click graphic adventure game because sometimes those games have silly graphical things in them but it probably won’t be.

    I mean it’s an age-old axiom, but still, one can still wish.

    I’m assuming it’ll be a Tombraider style adventure.

    I wonder if it’ll be set pre- first movie, on one of Indy’s earlier adventures.

    Microsoft still hasn't officially bought them out, and cannot legally direct them yet. Meanwhile Bethesda had to make a deal with LucasDisney to get this license, a deal likely predicated on playstation sales. Maybe there's some timed exclusivity or gamepass shenanigans but I bet this still shows up on playstation somehow.

    I mean, Sony had to make the same level of dealing to keep spider-man, also a disney property through and through, exclusive to their console.

    We don't know yet, but if every single game in Bethesda's future portfolio is going to be on Sony's hardware as well, what even was the point of buying them?

    Do we even know for sure that making a game exclusive earns more money than launching on as many platforms as possible?

    These days there are so many tools in the toolbox for getting people onto your platform while simultaneously getting money from even those who don't want an Xbox. Timed exclusivity for a year. DLC or minor additions that are only available on your own platform.

    If this were not at an embryonic state of development, as far as I can tell, I would be a lot more confident about a multiplatform release on launch--whenever that happens--including Playstation 5 (and possibly PS4?). Not certain, but confident.

    On top of that, we can't really exclude a "launch + x months/years" arrangement. Several Playstation 5 "exclusives" ended featuring "hope you don't notice" white text detailing that, particularly those from Square-Enix--that's literally how the FFVII Remake "exclusively" launched on PS4. It's also not an area Microsoft is unfamiliar with either, even though, as a major PC publisher, they've made a point about their first-party titles coming to PC immediately or almost immediately through their own marketplace (and now Steam too)--at this point, I basically consider it a decent likelihood that any recent PS4 game that didn't come to Xbox (or Switch) is going to come to PC, whether Sony wants to advertise the fact or not, and just hope they don't half-ass it as they sort of did with Horizon Zero Dawn.

    It's kind of just a reflection of the current industry norms. Anyone remember when Grand Theft Auto III--much less Final Fantasy as a franchise--were Playstation 2 exclusives? Long time ago.

    The big difference here is that Square and R* were independent and simply took money hats to offset the benefit of being multiplatform at the time.

    Bethesda, once this deal closes, will be a Microsoft owned business. Microsoft, in the business of making money, sees mainline exclusive content driving people to buy more of their hardware to play it, which in turn drives licensing revenue across other titles. It stops becoming about single-title sales and about a network/halo effect of having tentpoles like Elder Scrolls or Wolfenstein or Indiana Jones (fingers crossed this is actually good) exclusively in their storefronts and on their consoles. What we don't know is if they will treat it like Rare or Bungie, where mainline products are PC/xbox exclusive with only the rarest of exceptions, or like Minecraft, where that game runs on toasters and refrigerators. Microsoft has precedent for doing both.

    Also, the equation has changed -- it isn't "Hey look at this great game! You have to buy our console to play it." anymore necessarily. Microsoft could look at this more as, "Hey look at this great game! Sure you could play it on a different console, but if you come over here I've got some Games Pass in the trunk where you can play this game and lots of other games and not shell out $60 up front!"

    I'm as excited as I can be for this given that all we know is that it exists. I would lose it over a point-and-click ala Fate of Atlantis, but I'm here for just about any Indy content.

    Yeah, it seems clear that Bethesda's days as "always multiplatform on day one" publisher are numbered. I suspect they've shifted into "Yeah, you know those Playstation exclusives we inked months ago? They're not going to stay that way forever," space, which is not unusual in the circumstances. Minecraft is that way because Microsoft, very openly, wants Minecraft to be everywhere, including phones--Minecraft Dungeons was the same way, until Microsoft declined to put forward a PS5-re-release the way it had gotten an Xbox Series re-release (though it's obviously still playable on PS5, thanks to Sony's actual legwork), though that could still happen, and a hypothetical Minecraft sequel might be the same way. But Ori 2 never came to Playstation, and Sea of Thieves, despite being an entirely online-focused title, never came to either Playstation or Switch. In general, technical barriers mean these games aren't probably going to come to Switch (so whereas Hellblade came to Switch, the sequel won't be, apparently). And obviously Flight Simulator isn't coming to PS5--but all these games got proper Windows releases, and in the case of FS, are still exclusive to Windows 10.

    This is why I think the game being pretty darn early on isn't super encouraging for a normal multiplatform release. But stranger things have happened. No Man's Sky was going to be the (console) exclusive of the generation, as far as Sony's PR was concerned, but it did eventually come to Xbox One after Hello Games un-fucked it.

    I'm sure we will be looking at tons of Bethesda exclusives down the road, but the purchase isn't expected to go through until 1st half of fiscal 2021. Bethesda already made deals with Disney to get the license, Microsoft has not shown themselves to rip up prior deals from acquired companies. If they started talks after the purchase was official maybe they could hammer out a deal with the understanding that it would be a Microsoft exclusive, but clearly that didn't happen here, because that would be showing undue control from an unapproved corporate purchase.

Development on the project will be led by Massive Entertainment whose expertise and talent will be used to create a story-driven, open-world experience within the Star Wars galaxy that will also utilize the studio’s cutting-edge technology and advancements, including the Snowdrop engine.

    Expanded lore expands it to "angsty teens" as well IIRC, though the examples I know of off the top of my head were made pre-Disney and I'm not sure if any of them survived the EU purge like Thrawn did.

    Did watch a Youtube video a few days ago where a therapist breaks down how the Jedi training as presented in the movies pretty much guarantees that Anakin and Kylo Ren end up the way they do. Apparently, best way to get a teen who shows personality traits associated with Borderline Personality Disorder to develop full blown BPD and start lashing out at anyone who's "failed" them is to tell them the whirlwind of emotions they are feeling is bad and they are bad for being unable to supress them.
