It's using the same engine so no surprise there

Is this not using id engine?

This is an Id tech game, not Creation (Starfield).

 

[Kacho]

I think this is id tech?

They do have Todd Howard in common though.

Todd Howard was the producer and told Machine Games to ditch id tech in favor of the Creation Engine 2.0

 

[vaibhavpisal]

What? Games with objects you can pick up an inspect ? I can name over 1000 of the top of my head if you like.

None of its peers like Uncharted, Tomb Raider etc have it.

It just shows type of game its gonna be.

Am assuming more sandboxy than on rails. Which is what I play almost exclusively.

 

[mayham2199]

More adventure than action?

Yea that can be worrying. I remember the last Tomb Raider game did this and it ruined it. The game and story were still good visually but man I was going through so many puzzles\sections with absolutely no combat I was so confused.

 

[Laptop1991]

I do like the settings, the graphics are good not great, very like Wolfenstein and Dishonored 2, nothing has put me off.

This is nothing like Tomb raider or Uncharted as much as people want it to be. Did you watch the previews? Its more akin to an immersive sim going off the commentary

 

[nowhat]

Everything from Xbox comes to gamepass day 1.

Gamepass Ultimate, that is, on Xbox.

 

[pudel]

wut

Maybe he means "modern audience" in a different way....like you know...actual audience who plays games just nowadays (not the blue haired weirdos). I have no clue.

You mean these current previews.

This is new news.

 

[Deerock71]

I am seeing lots of small objects can be picked up and analysed, a la Starfield.

Succulents...

 

[Von Hugh]

Looks decent if there is no DEI crap involved. I love Uncharted, Indy, and Escape from Butcher Bay, so this should be right in my alley.

 

[twilo99]

u must be new

 

[clarky]

You mean these current previews.

This is new news.

Of course I mean these previews?

 

[touchfuzzy]

From what I read:

The cinematic part - good

The videogame part - bad

Western development in a nutshell.

 

[twilo99]

Not a single can't wait for the Pro version yet? Come on GAF you slacking today.

Patch incoming but it gets blocked by uncle phil for months until it finally releases after a class action lawsuit and it does nothing for the game after all

How the fuck did Colt Eastwood get to play it?

 

[Little Chicken]

Sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE

 

[pudel]

u must be new

i am

 

[ManaByte]

Don’t worry next year people will be praising it as the spiritual successor to Riddick and reverse review bombing it.

 

[twilo99]

Sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE

6/10 at best

 

[existensmaximum]

Modern audiences should learn to appreciate classics instead.

 

[adamsapple]

It's Id Tech, I can bet Ass of Can Whooping 's account on that.

 

[Little Chicken]

6/10 at best

9 looks good to me!

 

[Humdinger]

I read the GameRant piece. I've been looking forward to the game, hoping for the best, but that dropped my enthusiasm a notch. I'm hesitant about "a game centered on puzzles and exploration," with emphasis on stealth rather than combat and with the latter being largely hand-to-hand.

I guess I was expecting a more Uncharted type action-adventure game, not something that emphasizes puzzles, exploration, and stealth... Not to say it won't be good, just that it seems less like my cup of tea than before. But I'll keep an open mind. Previews can be misleading.

 

[Brucey]

Of course it is, why wouldn't it.

Prob confused cause so many gamepass tiers now and not all of them have access to day 1 releases right?

 

[adamsapple]

9 looks good to me!

The sexy chicken doesn't lie.

 

[Darsxx82]

The impressions are very good overall. I just hope it's a game that honors a franchise that I love and am a fan of.
The latest movies and games didn't do it justice.

 

[nikos]

InDEIana Jones.

Kidding. Haven't watched any of these yet. Hope it doesn't turn out that way.

 

[Kvally]

"It might be that we will release even more details in terms of specifics, technical details, as we get closer to launch, once we see all the telemetry on performance. But what I can tell you is that the ambition is that the game runs at 60 FPS on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and that, you know, it shouldn't be compromised in the visuals or the experience of the product. It should feel cohesive, running smoothly at 60 on both."

 

[Lunarorbit]

I'm gonna be skeptical until proven otherwise. Can't trust preview cycles anymore cause most of the reviewers get bribed in some fashion

 

[Toots]

I mocked the first presentation ruthlessly, but a quick glance at those vids make me wish i was dead wrong.

If they manage to capture the "being indy" feel as it seems they have. It's gonna be a great game.

 

[Fess]

Sounds great, can’t wait to play it!

 

[Pedro Motta]

You think Uncharted or Tomb Raider are peers to this game?

Completely different genre although the themes can be compared..

 

[VectorVictor]

Direct comparisons to Thief, Chronicles of Riddick, and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory bode very well...can't wait to pick up a copy (even though I have GamePass--I want this one for posterity).

It's not a multiplayer game so this last line seems odd.

[Synastry]

I predict a score 81 for this game.

 

[Sethbacca]

Looks decent enough graphically, the gameplay video looks better than I thought it would, but doesn't change my mind that this absolutely shouldn't have been an fps. People calling for an 88 MC score though? I think it will be lucky to land above 80 just based on what I'm seeing but what do I know.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Waiting for sale on PS5 Pro!

I’ll buy it day 1 if it ends up exceeding expectations

Phil thanks you for your continued support of Xbox.

 

[mayham2199]

Phil thanks you for your continued support of Xbox.

And we thank him for doing what's best for gamers. Loving Xbox's new strategy.

Yeah, far from a Wolfenstein reskin, thankfully. That game has its own thing, this didn't need to be a copy of that with Indiana Jones.

[HeWhoWalks]

Phil thanks you for your continued support of Xbox.

Crazy that rival fans support it better than he does!

 

[FoxMcChief]

Although, seeing Indy dual wielding machine guns would have been a sight.

 

[ssringo]

Cautiously kinda optimistic. It's been a long, long time since I've enjoyed new Indiana Jones media.
