You guys really have a hard time adjusting to Xbox going 3rd party, huh?

Better buckle up, it's going to be a rough couple of years.

You've done sufficient derailing padawan.

If the console war is over, why are you still a warrior?

I'm all for talking about xbox games like they are 3rd party, yes it will come to Playstation, it's ok BRUH.

Are you ready to talk about microsoft games like they are coming to your platform though?

 

[rodrigolfp]

Not just facial animations. But animations are a key element to a game's quality.

Indy combat looks stiff as well and environments sterile, though lighting and art direction looks good.

Like I said earlier, this looks like a typical pc-to-console port you buy at some sale.

Like RDR2 animation priority helping to make the character a slog to control???

Define/give example(s) of "pc-to-console port you buy at some sale", pls.

Or Hellblade 2. Everyone knows prioritizing animation smoothness and lots of motion capture can increase lag a bit. It's a developer choice for each project.

Yes?

 

[Certinty]

Still don't really understand why they opted for this to be a first person game. Looks decent though, not great, not bad.

 

[Mr Moose]

Are all the Playstation bootlickers in this thread going to crawl back and apologise if there's nothing aberrant in the game?

Of course they're not.

If there's a sniff of a woman in this game they'll be all like "See! We told you! DEI!".

Whatever is needed to fit their hypocritical narrative.

You've been judged.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the one that tells us that the console war is over....

 

[adamsapple]

Still don't really understand why they opted for this to be a first person game. Looks decent though, not great, not bad.

The two games it's being likened to the most, Butcher Bay and Dishonored, are also first person. I don't see why specifically this would only work as a third person but maybe it's because I've played my share of first person games like this (Dishonored, Prey, Thief, ButcherBay / Dark Athena etc)

 

[Randall365]

Striking that this is nearly all cut scenes and little gameplay. I still think FPS was a weird choice for this and they are clearly going to have to overdo the cut scenes to get around it. I fear there will be a pulsating cut scene and then it comes back to you staring at your hands trying to whip a switch.

Pretty much. Last preview I watched said it's more of an immersive sim with stealth, puzzles and gunplay as a last resort. You're an archeologist first.

[King Dazzar]

So I was just watching a trailer with Indy threatening to knock someone's teeth out. And it all looks very bland to me. The presentation is OK. But its the voice acting. Is it just me or does it all sound flat/lifeless and dull? I'm still down for giving it a go and hoping its good. After all, if the first person gameplay is good... But the trailer didn't exactly ooze any greatness. Seemed to lack charm and character.

 

[Ristifer]

You also could just put me on ignore.

Please. If I put everyone who endlessly moaned in Microsoft/Xbox-related threads on ignore, the forum would be a ghost town. Some people just don't need to repeat the same points ad nauseam.

Every time a butcher bay comparison is made, it increases my hype another notch.

We really need a modern day 4K remaster for Butcher Bay and Dark Athena while we're at it.

Unrelated but Starbreeze also made The Darkness, which was such a cool game, mafia setting plus horror and cool gameplay, i miss that game.

MachineGames Knows They Can Do Indiana Jones Right, Because They Did Riddick & The Darkness Right - Gameranx

Guess we all actually needed that reminder.

gameranx.com

“We knew this was super important challenge from the get-go. Luckily, this is not our first rodeo. Big parts of the team have worked together on story-driven first-person games all the way back to The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness. Also, I think the Wolfenstein series surprised the world by having a very interesting and relatable character with B.J. Blazkowicz, so we have had a lot of experience with this.”

Indeed, the first thing most gamers will remember when they hear the name MachineGames will be the last decade of Wolfenstein games. But as Andersson pointed out here, MachineGames’ very inception came about in the fallout of Starbreeze Studios’ 2011 reboot of Syndicate.

No less than Starbreeze founder Magnus Högdahl joined MachineGames, and with him came the team that made The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay and The Darkness video games. Starbreeze would go on to acquire Overkill and become best known for the Payday franchise. While these studios would each forge their own path, Wolfensteinfans know well that it was MachineGames that really inherited the staff with the video game storytelling and character development DNA.

I went ahead and got the premium upgrade for this game. I got it at a discount on a key site.

I wanted to play early. It seemed worthy.

Gonna watch this one on youtube.

Damn, hopefully the game is better quality than this shitshow of a thread

The SBI mention hasn't been on the Indy IMDB page since July at the earliest going by archive.org, you can go check it right now and it's not there on the active page. Furthermore, a consulting company does not produce a game so adding it in the production credits was wrong whoever did it in the first place. SBI's association being fake is irrelevant, it's not there right now that's the point.

Talk about moving the goal posts. It's hilarious seeing you anti woke ambassadors now trying to spin this as OK. You're a joke. Either keep the same energy or stfu about it when it's 3rd party/Sony. You can't sit on both sides of the fence.

It is on pc through Microsoft. It may be a play anywhere title. I will have to check.

Good shit. I'm personally abstaining from the upgrade for this. The regular GP version comes with its own set of unique 'pre order' items, that's enough for me for now.

 

[GymWolf]

Seriously, when is this bullshit trend going to stop in the Western developer community?

These faces are “voluntarily” transformed, so don't tell me it's the lighting, the polygons or some crap like that. At some point, you have to send a strong signal to these developers: don't buy or play their games. Attacking publishers' wallets is the only way to make your voice heard.

Yep. If devs want, they can get pretty close to actors' likenesses.

Here is Death Stranding 2.

For some reason, certain devs and studios are hellbent on going the extra mile and doing the extra work, just to make their in-game-women-characters tougher-looking and/or less attractive.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Syndicate is still the best Starbreeze game.

Just the name Miles Kilo puts the title in the upper echelon of quality.

Also Brian Cox is in it.

I picked a ps3 game to further prove the fact that is not a tech thing.

It is ABSOLUTELY on purpose.

 

[King Dazzar]

I've watched the trailer a second time. And the voice acting and script just doesn't come across as Indiana Jones to me. Its off. But the action seems fine. Something is off here.

Here's a wild thought .. do you think it's because they didn't want to do exact likenesses?

This is the actor playing that Emmerich character.

I believe, under Sweet Baby's influence, they made both the male and female characters look bad. Look at the Indiana Jones character. It looks pretty much exactly like Harrison Ford, because it's too iconic and they couldn't mess it up.

They messed up the rest of the characters that they could.

Otherwise, if they could get Harrison Ford right, they could have got others right as well.

Tbh even Indy's CGI animations look sub-par compared to Concords character select animations.
Graphically Concord was solid, btw, as was it's performance.
It really only was the character designs and the barebones content.

It's just ironic seeing certain people being hyped for a SweetBaby/DEI mediocre-looking game after making a complete drama irt the same issues avout a game nobody even cared about.

Can you/we make this a trend and review every game based on how well it compares to the glory that is Concord?

At least we can agree on something.

Ever since she became Elliot Page, she looks like she's on suicide watch.

Such a shame, Ellen Page was actually cute-looking.
