I'm kinda hyped for it.(50 percent since I'm not sure about Machine Games. I hated their Wolfenstein 2 game.)
In my opinion play the Emperor's Tomb game if you haven't already. https://store.steampowered.com/app/5...Emperors_Tomb/ I just hope they make it more like Emperor's Tomb than like Infernal Machine.(Since Infernal Machine was more a PS1 TR clone with better graphics but with worse combat and movements.)

Apparently the PSP version of that game is better than the PS2 and Wii versions. I don't think that the new game will be like Uncharted. As much as its fans claim it, Uncharted isn't an action adventure. It's a cover based shooter with some light platforming and a few easy puzzles. But considering that Indy is more known for using his whip and fists to fight his enemies than his revolver, an Indy game that is a cover based shooter wouldn't really fit.

I played the PS2 version of it and it was a very disappointing game.
It was like a movie that half of it's scenes were removed.(The story of Staff Of Kings felt like that) The gameplay was also a complete downgrade from Emperor's Tomb. |

The trailer seems to hint at both Rome and Mesopotamia as possible locations for the game, or at least related to the story.
I do hope they do something Mesopotamian with ancient Babylon, Sumer, or Persia. Tomb Raider never did this, and they had so many chances over the years now at trying to give us an original and new location, and instead just wasted our time over and over again in Meso-American jungles. Here's hoping that this Indi game is a good TR replacement. |

Collective made a prototype for Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb sequel around 2003.(Which didn't get anywhere since Lucasarts wanted to make the next IJ game themselves)
The video has been uploaded online and thought I share it here: They wanted the game to feature the 3 movies locations. The gameplay looks like an updated version of Emperor's Tomb. Hope Bethesda's new IJ game becomes like this gameplay wise. |

That's cool, thanks for sharing, dg1995!
What a shame that this didn't turn into a real game! The Collective was such a brilliant developer studio and among the few that produced several great licensed games. Everyone who loves the gameplay of Emperor's Tomb and has the means to do so should play their Xbox Buffy game. It has almost the same gameplay as Emperor's Tomb (in fact a lot of the files of Emperor's Tomb still have references to the Buffy game) and is a lot of fun! Their Star Wars Revenge of the Sith game is also awesome, though the gameplay is more hack 'n' slash-y than adventure-y. Such a shame that this studio doesn't exist anymore. |

You're welcome.
I remember reading somewhere that Collective was making a Dirty Harry game for PS3 and Xbox 360 which got cancelled and that cancellation bankrupted them. |

Finally ! An article that explains what problems staff of kings faced during development.
https://www.fanbyte.com/features/wha...taff-of-kings/ If you want a short version of it: 1.The game missed its 2007 deadline.(I think it was due to PS3's difficult hardware since The Force Unleashed team used the same engine and faced that problem) 2.Lucasarts put some important developers of Indiana Jones on The Force Unleashed. So they had to hire new developers for the Indy game. 3.Unfortunately, the new developers decided to change the camera which forced them to scrap what was done until 2007.(Minus the story) 4.In the end they were making progress with their newer version but LA cancelled it in early 2009. Edit: If you are interested some design documents of Staff Of Kings was uploaded here: https://freeradical.fandom.com/wiki/..._Document_Leak Last edited by dg1995; 16-05-21 at 01:13. |
