Indiana Jones going around to other countries killing people as a white man is racist now so I fully expect him to be black or a woman.

 

[Null Persp]

Who is this Marcus Sellars?

 

[Vasto]

I hope so too.

Has Ford ever voiced the video game counterpart of his characters, though? I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

I dont think so either but it would be awesome to have him voice this one.

 

[cormack12]

Interesting, have any games actually made a game with a good whip though?

Maybe lords of shadow? Threaded cane is a no before anyone suggests it, and I mained that weap. Darksiders with the whip - eurgh.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Or Tomb Raider. You know Uncharted wasn't the first video game of this type. Hell, there were Indiana Jones video games prior to Tomb Raider. I know it's hard for some people to believe there was life before PlayStation came about, but there was and it was pretty good too.

I said uncharted because 1. both Indiana Jones and Nathan Drake identify as male characters (for now) and 2. Uncharted was above and beyond Tomb Raider, especially the rebooted franchise. As much as I dislike Uncharted 4, I'd rather play that than one of the new Tomb raider games.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Probably a stipulation with Disney.

Been following video games for over 30 years and I never heard of this guy with no blue check mark.

 

[Null Persp]

Now we only need a Kotor 3 with Obsidian.

 

[Adam_802]

Xbox exclusive incoming.

 

[Self]

Indiana Jones? Yes, make it happen.
But Bethesda? No, please...

 

[DonkeyKong]

This "should" be an MS exclusive but as others have mentioned it probably depends on terms of the original contract, they should make it a timed exclusive at least if MS is allowed..

 

[PleaseWaitStation4]

It's going to be his daughter following in her father's footsteps, or an aspiring adventurer looking through Jones' old journals.

Tell her to stay away from his shit.

[bxrz]

Yea this is what I figured. It will be on Game Pass Day 1 though

 

[NullZ3r0]

Aaaaand Tweet deleted!

 

[Black_Stride]

Marvel couldn't possibly allow a huge franchise like Spiderman to be console exclusive...

100 million units out there would change anyones outlook on anything.

No one Nextgen console would make much sense to LucasFilm.

 

[Banjo64]

I don’t mind either way if it’s Xbox exclusive or not, but I wouldn’t believe this clown. He’s quite clearly guessing. His Twitter description and picture of a dabbing Falcon just scream industry insider...

If he truly had a source on the matter, why wouldn’t he have leaked this before anyone else in the world?



Bathesda saying they won’t have anything to announce for a while makes me think this is in the preliminary stages of development.

 

[balls of snow]

Bro what? dont get me wrong this is cool, but where is my Wolfie 3 ending with killing Mecha Hitler ???? dont do this to me!

Yep. Feels bad man.

Why do people keep peddling this garbage logic? There's a reason the Bethesda/Zenimax deal cost $7.5 billion. That's with a "B". It was not so Microsoft could help sell Playstation consoles.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Wow, that is unexpected

 

[j0hnnix]

damn tweet unavailable. I just saw the Jez tweet.

 

[geary]

If the collaboration with MS works well, imagine LucasFilm Games giving them the Star Wars IP after the deal with EA expires...

Politically correct Indiana Jones?

Dude. They aren't signing contracts for this game today. The deal between lucas film and bethesda was likely made prior to the acquisition. They should've said "in development exclusively for xbox and pc" to clear the air right away.

 

[Zoro7]

This will now be the most hyped thing on these forums until its out or its announced for PS5.

[The_Mike]

So this is how xbox gets their own Uncharted, however will it be up to par with naughty dog?

The indy character alone puts whole uncharted to shame.

Pls don't fuck it up machine games.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

I hope we play as Shia Lebouf as he takes the mantle from his father.../s

 

[HotPocket69]

You’ll be playing as Indy’s daughter

And she’ll be black AND gay

 

[Manwithoutfear]

hope it's not first person.
If it's bethesda... then maybe xbox wants their own uncharted ?

I agree. really hope this uncharted exploring/adventure/3rd person but all the indiana jones joy and franchise goodness.

Microsoft or Zenimax don't own the Indiana Jones IP, though. Lucasfilm licensing conditions could very well require them to put the game on other platforms, just like MLB's new contract with Sony requires them to develop MLB The Show for Xbox.

 

[M1chl]

Hope it's going to be at least on level of last trilogy of Tomb Raider...

 

[Manwithoutfear]

omgosh not going to lie this was the first thought i had was they're going to do stuff like this.

 

[ShadowNate]

Let's see how this one turns out. I'm intrigued for sure.

Just have it pick up from Fate of Atlantis or Last Crusade. Or the Ark one.

 

[Papacheeks]

In terms of story? The films are great, but the writing in uncharted 4, lost legacy is on par with most films. Indy is from the 80's and the more serious movie is last crusade. But that as 1989.

We shall see how they write it, unless it's going to be more like the 80's film, so having any form of character depth like Uncharted games have is probably not going to be on the same level.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Didn't see any news of it coming to Playstation..

Neither it wouldn't.

 

[Insane Metal]

Well damn if this is XBox exclusive. This is a game I'd love to see and play.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Indiana Uncharted: Jones Raider

 

[Hobbygaming]

What did the tweet say?

 

[Manwithoutfear]

Hope it's going to be at least on level of last trilogy of Tomb Raider...

i agree but a little more rise and a little less shadow lol. i loved the first tomb raider reboot as well.

 

[Hobbygaming]

This could be a good addition, Xbox needs more action adventure games

 

[Regis]

Microsoft or Zenimax don't own the Indiana Jones IP, though. Lucasfilm licensing conditions could very well require them to put the game on other platforms, just like MLB's new contract with Sony requires them to develop MLB The Show for Xbox.

Lucasfilm allowed KOTOR to be exclusive back in the 2000s.

Also, PlayStation has remained silent about the announcement.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I'm way out of the fucking loop on this one, who's LucasFilm Games? I know LucasArts was dissolved, then I thought Disney dumped everything videogame related into EA's lap.

 

[Bernkastel]

What did the tweet say?

Literal who from twitter without blue tick said it would be multiplat and then deleted his tweet when everyone asked who he is.

 

[Starfield]

You forgot the most important part: TODD HOWARD IS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

 

[Alan Wake]

This is great surprise! And I'm surprised I'm so looking forward to it. Will it be third or first person, though? I'm hoping for third person but hopefully not that much like Uncharted, that's been done already.

 

[Bernkastel]

 

[Bryank75]

Hoping that it's Xbox exclusive so it lights a fire under PlayStation managements ass.....

I have my doubts that it will reach anywhere near the levels of Uncharted but it's good for Xbox to have some excitement and this is a kinda exciting announcement, way better than the Perfect Dark, Halo and other announcements.
