You know its Troy Baker, but if you close your eyes for a second you can visualize Mr. Ford. He's done a great job imo.

I like fantasizing other men heaps aswell. But Mr ford would totally be better than that other bloke for sure hey.

From the same people who brought us the modern Wolfenstein games, I think this could be a real winner. You can see the Wolfenstein DNA in the gameplay and how it would feel, feels like it fits really well

Ok. I have my doubts, but if Machine Games' other outings are anything to go by, I think there is a high chance of this game being one of the greatest Indiana Jones experience of all time, especially since you'll be directly in the shoes of the man himself.

[@50ShadesofJoGray]

Todd always seems like he truly wants to bless gamers with things that he believes will be special for us. The execution doesn't always turn out great, but can't really blame him for all of that. I think this will be a good one for lifelong-fans of Indy like me. Those movies are responsible for my love of history and archeology today.

[@Mike12mt]

If this can build upon what the Tomb Raiders and Uncharteds from before have done, this can be good. Good puzzle solving, resource management, with immersive cut scenes, with solid acting and story telling. The VA impersonating Mr. Ford is pretty convincing. I can tell im gonna be hovering over walk through guides just to find all the secrets

[@jacobkennedy941]

[@MoFiTheMagnificent]

ngl, I think this game should've been third person like Uncharted or Tomb Raider. Still holding out though.

[@STSGuitar16]

Hopefully there will be the option to play in 3rd person. I personally can’t stand 1st person games. It’d be one thing if it was a true POV like VR or something, but regular video game 1st person is just way too narrow of a field of view. At this point, there is no reason games shouldn’t just offer both fields of view.

[@HiddenGameGems]

​@@STSGuitar16 True Indiana Jones should be focused as a 3th person game similar to Tomb Raider and Uncharted, or simply add both options and let the player choose. I'm not a big fan of FPS apart from online shooters but this is an single player adventure game.

[@STSGuitar16]

@@HiddenGameGems I am personally a big fan of the assassins creed games, so I also prefer my single player adventure games in third person. Actually, a lot of the sort of temple/dungeon visuals in this trailer reminded me a lot of the dungeons in the older AC games. The game looks super cool and I love the various settings, but yeah, forcing us to play only first person is honestly a dealbreaker for me.

[@urapeenees340]

Are you serious?? The first-person feature was the main thing that hooked me in.

[@STSGuitar16]

@@urapeenees340 to each their own. I personally hate the massively limited field of view. It’d be one thing if it was true first person view like with a vr headset, but regular video game first person does nothing but cut out 35% of your field of view. I like being able to see the environments I’m in and have the context of my surroundings. First person is terrible for all of that. At least give the option to switch between the two views.

[@tiagosobchenko8069]

Machine Games (Former Starbreeze) remind why I love Video Games in the first place A sense of Adventure, Awesome Scenarios, Strong Art Direction And The Best Fucking Cutscenes In The Industry. Their games just ooze with Style and Uniqueness rarely seen, being it in Movie or Videogame Format. I really hope they will Capitalize on their ability of putting the player in unforgettable moments. Think of Seeing the Volkshalle, Walking Through Nazi Occupied Roswell, Infiltrating Camp Belica, the Berlin Train Scene, Discovering about space history London Nautica, Mowing Down Nazis in a Wheelchair etc. , that's some awe dropping stuff.

[@diegoarriaza7731]

MARRRCUUSS BRRODDDYY!!!

[@mrgonk871]

I’ve liked all the Indiana Jones games I’ve played, even Staff of Kings and raiders of the lost ark on the Atari 2600 (I’m old). My favourite though has always been The infernal machine simply because it was a tomb raider inspired game with Indy. I will get this but I would have preferred it as third person rather than first person. First person shooters are fantastic but I really don’t think action adventure games work well in first person. Shame they don’t include an option to play it either first or third person.

[@chrisrichfield8906]

Its a good thing considering the studio. Their previous games have been 1st person, with some 3rd person climbing in the Riddick games. Its what they're good at. I think they should stick to what they know when trying to make the best Indiana Jones game. They have proven they can handle 1st person melee combat.

[@HilliIndustries]

Emperor's Tomb will still be my favorite. The sounds of punches, whip, guns and music are similar to the movie, and most importantly, it's 3rd person, it feels like it's part of the movie. If they will make this new Indy game a 3rd person, I would love it too.

[@fgdj2000]

Love that Wilhelm scream 😅 Bethesda in recent years doesn't have the best track record, so, I'm not confident it's going to be fanatastix, but maybe a short focused 20-hour campaign will be better than a 100+ hour RPG. I'll give them a chance, as I always try to do. (Though, let's face it, if you want a true Indiana Jones esque gaming experience, Nathan and Lara give sharp competition).
