Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Final Preview From IGN - Luke Reacts

03 and I never watched the movies, but still grew up with the media as a whole. I'm not opposed to playing an Indian Jones game but it's gotta give something cool. I agree with Luke, its no _bad_ but it just seems like it's missing something.

Fighting in this game looks utterly boring.

Indiana jones is expected to compete and live up to its own spiritual successors (Uncharted and Tomb raider) who despite their own problems they still benefit from having more relevancy in the gaming sphere than Indiana jones has ever had in this space. That’s a really hard sale but not necessarily impossible. I just have a hard time thinking this is the game that’ll show Indiana jones potential in this modern age of gaming.

[@MyDailyMeltdown]

I think Luke needs to be careful that he doesn't make his entire audience just people rooting for games to suck. He has some great success making videos about bad games and now it seems new fans think all he does is shit on games.

Also let's be honest...that detection indicator filled super quickly and in most games even super praises stealth games you still get moments like this. Why? Because after 2 failed sneaky sections player is getting super frustrated that for one frame he was visible. Complaining during this moment was so forced just to pick on this game. It looks solid and fun.

[@SLRModShop]

This game looks fun for a *STARVED* stealth fan. My prediction is that it's going to be an "okay" game, I will enjoy the stealth "open world" (open area, really) but everything else will be a chore. I'd buy this for 10€. If they can guarantee that I won't EVER have to use the stiff and outdated fighting mechanics, I'd be willing to pay up to 20€ for it. And yes, instant detection is no fun. It's also unrealistic, the enemy needs time to assess what they're seeing and then react to it. They need a "deer in the headlight" moment. Where it would be better is that if they see you, and you leave immediately, they would try to find whatever was there, just out of curiosity. Which would create a distraction mechanic: show yourself, quickly hide, while the enemy is investigating, go round the outside and steal something on their desk or something. (didn't see any trace of this in this preview though) Looks like it's going to be Farcry 3 levels of stealth. No great, but good enough for anyone STARVING for stealth (emphasis of STARVING, this is junk food equivalent of stealth) Anyone going into this game for the combat has my sympathy... Combat looks dreadful...

[@grantwallace1882]

I hope this takes off. Indiana Jones deserves to be respected and loved again.

[@SLRModShop]

Uncharted proved without the shadow of a doubt that it can be done in at least one way. The issue I can foresee here is that the game will appeal to no one. I'm a stealth fan so it could be cool for someone like me, but I'm going to hate everything else about the game. People who don't like stealth will either be forced into it or have to spend 12 hours with this outdated, boring combat system... It looks stiff as fck... Let's be honest... 18:07 looks laughably bad The perfect formula for Indie seems to be what Uncharted has done. I get why they haven't replicated it (they would have lost in comparison), but I don't think that this will be enjoyed by the many. Only the few, most likely people who like stealth games and have nothing better to get their hands on.

[@kaylemain2006]

I am a starved Indy fan, the last good indy product was Fate of Atlantis. It's been slop since then, but this looks like it's trying to capture the spirit. I want this game to be good...

Why did they have Arkane, the Dishonored devs, work on RedFall instead of this??? This is literally right up their wheelhouse mechanic-wise

I don't see how an indiana jones game fits the Dishonored mechanics at all tbh, outside from the stealth maybe

[@masonmurphy2679]

Stiff, boring stealth matches Indiana Jones better and it's MachineGames' signature move, that's a good fit. Arkane would have given an ancient relic with magic power to Indie and made him fly all over the map.

He was mocking the detection indicator and saying that in Dishonored it would not happen. Well maybe on Hard mode but in Hitman, Spliter Cell, Thief, Dishonored,Tomb Raider, The Last of Us and son you have to have "invisibility" frames to not make players frustrated to death. Do t you remember how Luke was mocking Star Wars for instant failed missions? That game had not had such frames and people hated it.

@@Mmachine88 i get "uncanny valley" vibes from the animations, which in itself is the kind of uneasiness you can hardly fathom to describe properly through normal prose

[@BigO161107]

i know what Luke doesnt like about it, and its the animations. The actions of indy are so chopped up, its like a delay between different actions making it look very choppy. Like when hes blocking a punch, there a split second where everything just freezes and then it proceeds to the next animation and its like that with almost all animations. Whipping someone? Freeze. Punch? Freeze. Climb a wall? Wait for animation to finish, continue. 3:50 is a prime example of such a freeze, there is no fluidity. I think thats the difference between many modern games and the games Rockstar puts out. In a rockstar game, the disconnect between the player and the character when the character is in an animation is very minimal, making it both look and feel realistic, while this comes off as very "gamey" looking, like: "PRESS BUTTON TO MAKE CHARATER DO THIS" instead of just intuitively and instinctively jumping on something and the character does what you wanted it to do in a realistic looking way.

[@1_underthesun]

Falls in the middle for me. Player animations happen a bit too quickly and lack momentum behind them. I've seen worse, but in a game like this, having more momentum would help with challenge and immersion. Imagine if you take a strong swing and miss, that your character stumbles forward for a step or two (just like real life), leaving you wide open to a counter attack. Not only would this help with the "weight" of the game, but like I said, add some challenge by having combat mistakes be costly.

I think the thing with the indiana Jones franchise compared to others is it's not exactly got its own unique selling point. Indie as a character is essentially an amalgamation of every pulp hero from 1930s adventure fictions. Series like tomb raider and uncharted took up the helm long ago. I think an original IP from Machine Games would do just as well and wouldn't need to be paying Disney royalties

[@1_underthesun]

Honestly, a pulp hero protagonist would be a massive breath of fresh air in 2024 after all the "modern audience" protagonists we've been given. My hope is that because he's a character from 30+ years ago that he'll be able to say and do some things that reflect that fact, whereas you wouldn't get that with a modern protagonist. Any sensitivity blowback they might get from hack game "journalists" could be brushed aside with "this isn't a new character, we were writing for an established character with established traits and personality" Think about it. Many of the pulp action hero's of yore would offend the Twitter crowd in numerous different ways, so the only way to safely get away with it is to use an established one.

Fate of Atlantis was the first game I ever played way back in the day with my Dad. Was awesome watching him click on all the stuff and try to find the puzzles. I have it on steam and played with him on the tv through steam deck a few weeks ago just for the hell of it. Was still awesome. The art goes a long way in making it super cool.
