[Punished Miku]

No point in spoiling it for me honestly, so I'll skip the stream. But I'm looking forward to playing this on day 1. Got a few days off work.

 

[King Dazzar]

I'm hoping this and Stalker 2 give me a nice break from my Pro back onto the XSX for a while. Fingers crossed for them both.

 

[tommib]

Yeah, I don’t want to spoil this too much. I really liked the previous long gameplay video so that’s enough for me. Game will be great.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looks great. Will look even better on PC thanks to Nvidia's raytracing tech.

 

[Darsxx82]

Wow. Looks great. The animations and endings in combat are better than I thought.It maintains the typical MachineGames humor very well.
Graphically very good and with a great variety of environments too.

No, I think you meant on the PSSR PS5

 

[Little Chicken]

Looks amazing!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Not spoiling this, the last gameplay footage looked mint!

Can't wait.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Everything looks good

But combat and enemy Ai looks so damn bad

 

[mansoor1980]

my body is ready

 

[GymWolf]

Not for me, i'm just gonna wait for wolfenstein 3 if they are ever gonna make it.

This looks way too focused on puzzles and platforming with meh combat.

 

[mayham2199]

I'm hoping this and Stalker 2 give me a nice break from my Pro back onto the XSX for a while. Fingers crossed for them both.

Really feel Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones are going to be big hits for Xbox.

 

[Branded]

Already seen more than enough so I won't spoil anything else. Day 1 for me.

 

[Kvally]

Wow, I am super stoked. December is too far away

 

[The Cockatrice]

Not for me, i'm just gonna wait for wolfenstein 3 if they are ever gonna make it.

I love puzzles but this games puzzles seems designed for babies. Honestly this game feels like a jack of all trades master of none.

 

[rickybooby87]

Will play this in Spring, 2025 (Thanks Phil).

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Everything about the gameplay seems extremely basic

visually it captures the Indy stuff well enough but something seems missing to make it more compelling

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

Visually looks wonderful
Gameplay just doesn’t look like it’s for me at all. (Combat looks awful, and puzzles don’t do it for me)

 

[Lootlord]

Really feel Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones are going to be big hits for Xbox.

I'm not hyped at all for Stalker 2 but after watching the new Indy footage here, i actually wanna play the game now
Just hope that it's not infected with the you know what virus.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

First person animations look really clunky. Will try it on gamepass but it doesn't look like a game I will enjoy.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Really not feeling this game

 

[yogaflame]

Will wait for ps5 version along with Stalker 2.

 

[iorek21]

Day One for me.

It's exactly the kind of game I love.
Lots of exploration, tombs, collectibles, historical places, climbing, puzzles and great visuals.

Neat.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Hopefully puzzles are elaborate.

BTW video has a lot of spoilers regarding locations.

 

[tommib]

puzzles

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Cautiously optimistic. If it reviews well, will pick it up next year on Pro.

 

[diffusionx]

Looks great. Will look even better on PC thanks to Nvidia's raytracing tech.

should look great on PS5 Pro

 

[Mister Wolf]

should look great on PS5 Pro

Will look exactly like what was shown in the video.

 

[Hookshot]

Hope it has good multi room puzzles. Lots of games seem scared to do that these days.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Wow. Looks great. The animations and endings in combat are better than I thought.It maintains the typical MachineGames humor very well.
Graphically very good and with a great variety of environments too.

Eh, animations and combat look mediocre af.

Graphics and art direction look good though, albeit a bit sterile.

 

[Brock2621]

I think I'll grab it on PC instead of waiting for PS5 Pro. I'm low-key kinda excited for this only because of my nostalgia

 

[JayK47]

Looks good. Maybe a little too good. I now just assume games by AAA studios will be shit. I will wait for GAF impressions before touching this.

 

[Hrk69]

Holy shit this looks mid

[DirtInUrEye]

should look great on PS5 Pro

Just lower res and noiser RT effects. Is PT confirmed for consoles? I can't imagine the Pro is powerful enough, although this engine is celebrated for how well it runs on pretty much everything, so maybe they've found a way. Frame gen.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I’m still not vibing with first-person interactions and overall gameplay feels so stiff.

The puzzles are nice though.

 

[Astray]

This is less than a month away and they still can't just let go and give us an unedited 15-20 minute stretch of gameplay. Gives me Cyberpunk 2077 launch flashbacks tbh.

Also doing Uncharted-style "place is collapsing, RUN" set-pieces in 1st person.. Who the fuck came up with that decision?

I’m still not vibing with first-person interactions and overall gameplay feels so stiff.

There's clearly a lot of thought and love put into this game, but there are certain decisions that are just baffling to me.

The weird shifts from 1st to 3rd person during platform segments (almost nausea-inducing at times), the 1st person hand to hand combat (which by itself didn't look bad) in relatively open spaces and almost always with a single opponent (meaning you can just add distance and manage any pressure from enemies).

Making a big deal about immersion, only to then make you have to look at a HUD icon to see which disguise you have on.

It's not all bad though, the sound and graphics are all top-down amazing, the stealth areas look good with multiple options to try (though for some reason, Bethesda has taken to touting every game it's bringing with a stealth element as having "immersive sim elements", first it was Redfall and now this).

 

[ikbalCO]

I am sorry but this game should have been 3rd person.

It looks great until the player does “indie” things then it looks very off.

I am looking forward to this game and probably double dip next march aswell but it just a weird watch whenever they release a gameplay video. Maybe it feels better playing..

 

[Kurotri]

Damn, this looks exactly like my jam. I'm positively surprised, previous footage kinda looked weak imo. Only thing I'm not 100 % on board with is the combat, it looks a little wonky. But I really the dig the focus on adventure!

 

[Punished Miku]

I am sorry but this game should have been 3rd person.

That's exactly why I'm excited it is 1st person. We've played this in 3rd person over and over for years. It's called Tomb Raider and Uncharted. This will be different at least.

 

[Loboxxx]

 

[BigLee74]

I have good fun looking at who’s posting a reply, and guessing what they are going to say. I am almost always correct. Man genius.

 

[Bartski]

I was sure this would be the Gamescom video, but it's not. Although very similar in structure and a few of the same puzzles shown. Anyway, very nice I'm sure I'll enjoy this a ton. I hope this is how it runs on the XsX

 

[Unknown?]

Why did they use a Nathan Drake rip off? Just use an original character.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

The gameplay looks way better than the last video I saw actually! That's cool. The only thing I still find consistently weird is the overall speed. It looks like playing a YT video on 75%, everything just always looks in slight slow motion?

 

[Mr Moose]

Why did they use a Nathan Drake rip off? Just use an original character.

It's his brother.

 

[Skitso]

Looks a LOT better than I feared. Looks really polished with great animation work.

 

[Zathalus]

Looks like it could be fun.

 

[Gambit2483]

Not for me, i'm just gonna wait for wolfenstein 3 if they are ever gonna make it.

They (those that have previewed it) say it's more of an Adventure-Action than an Action-Adventure game so yea, not surprised.
