Judging by the box office of Dial of Destiny, they sure don't
It sounds like jedi fallen order maybe? I always felt they spread themselves too thin by not focusing on one area of gameplay in that. But puzzles definitely fit Indy and they can sub a whip and gun for a saber"Todd Howard, who is serving as executive producer on the game, and whose favourite film is Raiders of the Lost Ark, said of its genre last year: “I would just say it’s a mash-up. It is a unique, it isn’t one thing intentionally, so it does a lot of different things”.
Corporate speak can just fuck off, you come across as a moron
I don't think the IP is all that important. Tomb Raider and Uncharted are both basically just retreads of Indiana Jones. No one really cares that much about any of the story in any of these series. All the IP does is slightly increase recognizability for casual gamers. Gamers like playing this type of game just fine, as seen in Tomb Raider, Uncharted and many other long running, successful games. No one is going to be playing Indiana Jones hoping for the next movie. They're going to play it if its a good game. Literally all they need is just an excuse to send the player off on an adventure, and then game needs to be good. That's about it. Obviously the studio making this also has experience with Nazi villain stuff, so that fits. It will probably be seen as a Wolfenstein spin-off more than anything.
If it's on gamepass do they really have that many customers? They certainly won't have that many sales.
But xbox need this as theyre lagging way behind ps5 atm.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure why there's been this new uproar regarding exclusives. It's nothing new, why is it being treated like it is? We're not suddenly going to enter a gaming space where exclusives don't exist.
Bad/below average/incredibly mediocre film, show, book, or other source material =/= bad game. I know it's already been mentioned but Riddick is one of the most known examples. But there are plenty others out there that put out games that were "better" than their original source material.
Oy, Riddick is an awesome film (as are Pitch Black and Chronicles)
A lot of people enjoyed them, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. But they were never truly highly acclaimed or anything like that. The games ended up getting a lot more praise and positive reception.
Yet that same numerical advantage couldn't even get Starfield to outsell Spiderman.
