1. Lucasarts sucks now.
2. He DOES sound like a gruffy Steve Martin.
3. Waggle with the whip could be fun...in theory.

Meh

 

[Mifune]

If LucasArts really wants to do something for Wii (they should) and are hurting for cash (they are), they should just re-release Fate of Atlantis and other graphic adventures with Wiimote controls.

Not an original idea, but one that needs to be repeated over and over.

This game Wiill suck

 

[painey]

According to Lucasarts, the next gen Indy is not cancelled.

Source?

 

[Haunted]

According to Lucasarts, the next gen Indy is not cancelled.

They only said that they were still "committed" to the Indy franchise and that details on the new Indiana Jones game are forthcoming.

Which happened. Today.

[comedy bomb]

It'd be nice to see some actual gameplay.

 

[manueldelalas]

Meltadowns!! Give me moarrrrrr!

 

[jangotangos]

A2M is the developer on these. The controllers are quite intuitive and not overdone and it's pretty good looking for a Wii title.

 

[lubczyk]

It's good to see the Wii as lead platform. There's no reason to put money into the HD sinkholes when you should be prioritizing the market leader.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Meltadowns!! Give me moarrrrrr!

Hasn't really happened in this thread yet, just a statement that the game will have to categorically suck because it's not in HD.

 

[RavenFox]

Yeah, they want to make sure it's playable on PS3.

Aha clever aren't you

Spoiler

NO

 

[lubczyk]

Hasn't really happened in this thread yet, just a statement that the game will have to categorically suck because it's not in HD.

It'll actually be better, because it will be using innovative controls and gameplay instead of just shiny graphics and lastgen controls and gameplay.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Does Lucasarts make any games themselves anymore or do they outsource everything?

 

[hokahey]

Cry cry cry. Jeez. Not everyone cares about HD Grafffix1.

This game will sell like hotcakes on Wii. Motion controls for the whip? Yes please. Let's hope it uses motion +.

Maybe they'll show IGA the way.

it's a very good point, but this title coming out on Wii only is not a strategic stroke of genius by Lucas Arts. it's only because the next-gen title that was in development for years never came together along side it's A2M developed "little brother".

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Remember, it's always possible that this will get a later port to the 360 and PS3 with updated lighting and shaders.

 

[Divvy]

Ah I see how gaf is,

1. "Wii sucks cuz it has no games that hardcore gamers want!"

2. Wii gets game that hardcore gamers want

3. "Why is it coming out on Wii? Wii sucks!"

 

[jrricky]

Quoted for relevance. Nail and hammer.....

Anyways, show me some gameplay. I enoyed SWFU Wii so dont blow this LucasArts.

 

[grandjedi6]

This is the Nintendo Power teaser, no?

I'd be shocked if it wasn't.

 

[Mockingbird]

Apparently they went the cheap route and cut out an Indy game for the HD consoles.

I thought The Force Unleashed sold well for them?

Ehh judging by the quality of TFU though, they need to be outsourcing any shit they want to do on the HD consoles.

Did you just have a conversation with yourself?

 

[Zombie James]

I hope Euphoria is still in.

Just checked up on some NaturalMotion stuff and, yeah, Euphoria is listed as PS3/360/PC tech. Damn shame, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fACZMsKN7fk

Looks a bit floaty in that video but that was from 2006/2007, it was really solid in GTA IV.

 

[bigmakstudios]

Ah I see how gaf is,

1. This game doesn't look too great
2. You're just saying that because it's on Wii and not 360 and PS3
3. No, I'm saying it because it looks like garbage

 

[CamHostage]

Yep.

As much as I'm excited for the future of Euphoria and liked its use in GTA, the Star Wars: TFU games were better in their last-gen versions (PSP being a really great game IMO.) After remembering how much I hated that old trailer for Indy next-gen and how bad the Euphoria was used, I'm not so sure what everybody is upset about when the Wii/PSP/PS2 version might have been the better game.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

There's just no pleasing you is there? No matter what Wii game it is, it's all fair game for your incessant trolling.

 

[Bluth54]

I really enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, hopefully this game will be just as good if not better.

 

[Father_Brain]

It's not "Wii-only," and Wii would still (probably) have been the lead SKU for the last-gen versions.

 

[CamHostage]

It's not only for Wii, but in case you missed it in big, bold letters in the trailer, it's the only version LucasArts cares about.

 

[El Pescado]

I am very, very excited for this. I hope it turns out nice. It's been a while since we had a good Indy game. It'd go nice with the good Ghostbusters game I hope we're getting this summer. The 80's are back, baby!

 

[MotherFan]

Woot, nice. The trailer looks pretty good. I am going to keep my eye on this and if it continues to look like a good game, I will defiantly pick this up. Its good to start seeing some good 3rd party support (especially if this is a damn good game).

Wonder which franchise is next?

 

[Haunted]

3. No, I'm saying it because it looks like garbage

Yeah that CGI trailer looked terrible.


wait what

 

[KevinCow]

Staff of Kings sounds like a dick euphemism.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Wii version = Whipitgood.gif

 

[sprocket]

could be awesome.

 

[Captain N]

I was expecting a "Only at Blockbuster!" logo.

 

[titiklabingapat]

According to Lucasarts, the next gen Indy is not cancelled.

Yeah, they announced a Wii version in the OP.

 

[Shiggie]

QFT!

Yeah, I do find it amusing that 2 years into this generation, the fanboy wars still rages on. :lol

Good lord, we haven't even seen any gameplay yet.

 

[Caesar III]

Yeah, a new Indy game for my Wii. This is great news. I hope it uses Motion+ and has some decent graphics.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Yeah that CGI trailer looked terrible.


wait what

:lol Seriously.

 

[NoitoraJirugajr]

Yeah, I do find it amusing that 2 years into this generation, the fanboy wars still rages on. :lol

Yes but this is indiana jones!!! The games should be flashy and use next gen graphics. I mean if it looks good enough near the end (actual gameplay) then i might pick up the wii version but idk.

 

[Quasar]

Now if only this was an adventure game.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Yes but this is indiana jones!!! The games should be flashy and use next gen graphics. I mean if it looks good enough near the end (actual gameplay) then i might pick up the wii version but idk.

The problem most people have is that apparently in this case, the PS2 is also getting the same game that hardcore gamers want. Hardcore gamers want their games to be developed on systems more powerful than the PS2.
I however, am content with picking up a PS2 version, if the game turns out well enough, and the game actually is coming out on the PS2.

What does it matter that there is a PS2 version? If there were no PS2 version and it would be a Wii exclusive on the home console, the same people would still be upset that there is no 360/PS3 "next-gen" version.

Basically, there are only these possibilities when it comes to Wii "hardcore" games according to some:
1. It's developed alongside the PS2, so it must be crap.
2. It's developed alongside the 360/PS3 (on some level), therefore it must be crap compared to 360/PS3 version.
3. It's an exclusive title, should have been better off on 360/PS3.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I bet the Wii/DS versions will do 3 million-ish, probably 2:1 in favor of the Wii game. The PS2 one will hit about a million. The PSP version will probably do less than 400k, but get pirated by about 3 million people.

30,000 of which will bother to play it for more than 5 minutes.
