From today's episode of XboxEra podcast Episode 166, shpeshal Nick who correctly leaked the exclusivity of indiana jones has new info.

Here's what he said:

From what I've heard it's gonna be both (1st and 3rd person), not like Starfield where you get to pick.. but there'll be specific sections, some will be 3rd some will be 1st, idk if that's finalized or set in stone.. at the moment as far as I'm aware it's actually a combination of both, there'll be 1st person segments and 3rd person segments.

All the time or context based ?

Love Machine Games' past games, hope this also delivers.
 
Didn't they say there's going to be different types of gameplay and genres all mixed in here?

I imagine there's car chases or other vehicular portions that will go into a third person for example.
 
Oh, they mean like Escape from Butcher Bay (2004) and The Darkness (2007). Also had mixed 1st and 3rd like when dialogue or climbing happened. Both games that are from the same team/leads as this new Indy game actually.

I'm not saying that a first person Indiana Jones game can't be a great game, but personally if it's not in third person and with Harrison Ford it would lose a lot of appeal and, I think, not only for me but for most people .

Aix Of 1st and 3rd person? I do not see rigth now how they could do It.
 
This almost never works. The only good examples I've seen is Deus Ex and VTMB. The former is third person in cover only, and the latter is from 2004, and doesn't have great moment-moment gameplay anyway.

Where was the third person stuff in Vampire? Can't remember them at all.

Can't imagine anything worse for an indy game than having current Harrison Ford phone in the voice acting job. (I mean sure, maybe he'd do an amazing job but...I don't see it.) Definitely needs his likeness for the character model though otherwise he'll just look like generic joe shmoe with a hat on.
 
They already had this properly in Skyrim in 2011. Maybe id Tech is different.

I was referring only to the physical appearance of H. Ford.

The voice would be secondary and I don't see him with the necessary enthusiasm to put his voice to a video game.

4th person would be even better.

Hype deflated. A 1st person Indiana Jones game is fucking retarded.

Who's the game's designer?
The same guy who came up with Gollum?

First person in an indiana jones game seems like a bad idea to me.

Yeah, same as the Avatar game, just a bad idea, can't do any cool moves with that perspective without major jank.

I guess if they swap perspective when getting close for melee combat or climbing or taking cover or using the whip it could work. But at that point, when is it first person? When shooting?

I think we should really do better with thread titles here.
It should clearly spell out that it's a 'rumor', since this isn't anything officially communicated by the devs or shared by an insider with a credible track record.
 
All I can see are flashbacks of movie licensed games with different sections and perspectives for each of them.

Was hoping for a Tomb Raider/Uncharted type game.

I miss games like these.
 
That doesn't sound like a great idea to me..

Although I guess it depends on the amount of each. If it's 90% of one and 10% of the other for some specific sections I guess it could work.

Me too. My hope is that this new Indy game is close in format and structure as the older Starbreeze cult-classics.

And reading up on the talent behind this (the creative director, producer and some level designer are the same from Riddick and The Darkness) my hopes are actually pretty high.

Really don't know what to expect of this game. I feel like MachineGames got lucky with The New Order, and even that game was a bit divisive. But after that Wolfenstein II was really underwhelming and Youngblood was pure ass. Can't say I'm confident that they will be able to deliver a solid Indy game, especially since they have a track record of writing really goofy stories with serious tonal inconsistencies. This has the potential of being just as bad as Crystal Skull in terms of its story.
 
I really don't know what to think of this game, which I guess is expected with the lack of info. The IP does not have much modern relevance, but I would be lying if I didn't say I hope it turns out great.
 
Gosh I hope this game will be good.

With the film not doing well (financially.. It was great and I will die on that hill!) it will be the last Indiana Jones thing we get until Disney decides to reboot the series.
 
I want to see Indiana Jones when playing as him. Would be disappointing if most was in the first person.
