60 that’s all I want

[@Spartan_83]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gkI mean have you watched the old Indiana Jones movies? Because this looks exactly like that, hand to hand combat using his whip and solving puzzles. Indy hardly ever even used a gun in the movies And to be 100% honest with you I'm kind of hit or miss with the uncharted games uncharted 4 was okay but I felt like there was way too much climbing in that game.

[@erthrise8974]

Been an Indiana Jones fan as long as I can remember. Although I’m cautiously hopeful for the game as a whole, I cannot be more happy to know the respect MG has payed to this franchise. This will be a niche, fanfare game which doesn’t appeal to everyone. But that’s ok. I can tell it’s made for Indy fans, and it makes me more and more exited to explore the game. PS As an ‘Indy Simulator’, the most important factor is a heartfelt and genuine story. Hope they pull it off.

[@jaymac7203]

A lot of the mechanics like fighting and the third-person climbing remind me of The Chronicles Of Riddick games. This actually looks really good!

[@MrMightyZ]

1st person Tomb Raider? Indy is like The Blues Brothers in that he’s on a mission from G. So he has a little extra luck and his punches gain a little extra steam, in the movies this was punctuated with a very special, very unique punch sound effect. It had a bass-hit, a sound of a boxer hitting a side of meat and the sound of a slap all at once, the craziest and heaviest punch sound in any movie. Does the game remember this? It’s as distinctive and unique as Dirty Harry’s .44 Magnum sound effect was before EVERYONE stole it. But no one stole Indy’s punch sound. It’s very special and probably belongs in a museum🤓

@@uribak9144 I don’t see how a motion sickness-inducing perspective can be considered “realistic,” especially when it makes the character feel like they have arms sprouting from their chest and an inability to turn their neck.

One huge missed opportunity would have been to see his clothes deteriorate throughout the adventure-just like in the movies.

An option to third person would be nice...

[@JohnDoe-pu5gk]

The fact that it is first person is stupid to me for this type of game.

[@paulszki]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gk First person is more immersive for me. I like being closer to things and locations in general seem bigger if you're not constantly zoomed out. It's more ... intimate? Doesn't mean that third person doesn't work (tomb raider and uncharted being clear descendants of indiana jones). It's viable in it's own way but it leads to different gameplay and world building. Like in third person, notes on a wall can't ever really be observed by just looking in their direction, you have to walk up to them and than press X or whatever so it pops up in your inventory as something to read, instead of seemlessly just reading something that is hanging on a wall. I also think if the game went third person, there would be a way higher expectation of it being like tomb raider or uncharted and honestly I'm done with shooting people up and it was always one of the weakest aspects of tomb raider and uncharted (essentually being a mass murderer for the sake of adventure).

[@TurnerTurnip]

@@paulszki I find 3rd person very annoying because almost a quarter of the screen is blocked by your body. And the worst is a 3rd person shooter without shoulder swap ability.

[@paulszki]

@@TurnerTurnip I think it's just ... whatever the devs thought would work best for the game. God of War and Spider-Man are third person and it obviously works great because they have a focus on melee combat against multilple opponents and it would be a nightmare to do that in first person. Haven't played Elden Ring but my hot take for the year is, it's probably pretty good despite being third person. I remember people losing their shit when cdproject revealed that cyberpunk would be first person, unlike witcher 3. And honestlyy, both games COULD work from either perspective (there are third person mods for cyberpunk) and a first person mode for witcher 3 would probably be super janky but incredibly cool and immersive (ugly swamp hags would probably make me poop my pants in first person.) People need to have a bit more trust in developers. (though I'd probably been happier if Star Wars Outlaws was just an open world first person shooter similar to skyrim/cyberpunk.)

I can see how things like examination & certain events would be in 1st person, but for the life of me, I still don't know why Bethesda refused to do traversal & combat in 3rd. At the very least it should have an option to play in 3rd. Even games the Resident Evil 7 have this option. Why on earth not Indiana Jones? It's especially baffling since Xbox doesn't have a 3rd person action adventure exclusive, like PlayStation does w/Uncharted & Last of Us (the former obviously being inspired by Indiana Jones). The Great Circle was their big change to fill that void. Xbox has more than plenty 1st person games.
