dazzybee Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Is it finished? Because if it's early-ish then there's a strong chance it will improve. I bet the people bitching in here are the same people bitching when SHaun White screens got released!

I'm sorry, but when you're far enough in development to release a detailed press release along with screenshots, have the largest Nintendo magazine in the world run a cover feature on your game and are planning a Spring 2009 release, there isn't really much time to bring your game forwards by two graphical generations. The game may turn out to be fantastic, and I'll probably buy it since I love Indiana Jones, but it's blindingly obvious that LucasArts have put absolutely no effort into the graphics.
Haden Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 At least it comes with a SCUMM game. May be the only reason I search this game out in the bargian bins at Christmas. Considering Lucasarts dont release their old point and click games on GOG or places like that.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Is there a particularly reason why this is getting so much coverage? Does it feature superb controls or gameplay or something? Or, is it just because of the Indi name? Just seems like a regular video game-movie tie-in.
Noku Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Wait, those graphics suck? You lot need to get your eyes checked. Pronto. Any news on whether or not is has Ford's actual voice?
nekunando Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I actually really wanted the N64 game as I thought it looked great.. it's a shame it never came out over here I don't have any interest in this game though.. and it looks horrendous I'll maybe have to figure out a way of getting the N64 version, I'm sure there must be something to allow you to play it on a PAL N64..
James McGeachie Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Looks excellent, I just love the way the way the water looks.. Amazing. (Not.) The only screenshot in this thread with water is the N64 game, which someone posted for comparison. EDIT: Nevermind I guess that's water in that fishtank thing.
Jamba Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 May be the only reason I search this game out in the bargian bins at Christmas. Considering Lucasarts dont release their old point and click games on GOG or places like that. If LucasArts released their SCUMM engine games on VC with Wiimote functionality added then they would make far more money than IJ:SoK ever will. But just in case, Nathan are you SURE those are the shots for the Wii version not the PSP one?
Tellyn Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 But just in case, Nathan are you SURE those are the shots for the Wii version not the PSP one? Not until we get a statement from LucasArts to confirm it. I don't see why you'd release PSP shots of a game which has a press release focusing almost exclusively on the Wii version, though.

I don't see why you'd release PSP shots of a game which has a press release focusing almost exclusively on the Wii version, though. It's a trap! Is there a trailer for this, or just the screens? Maybe I skimmed over this too fast and missed the trailer. Yeah, they do look more like PSP screens, but it could also just be bad screenshots. A trailer would clear this up. Or, they could have fucked up and added the PSP screens to the Wii press release. Wouldn't be the first time the wrong screens have been attached to a press release.

Jamba Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 There's a trailer which is one long FMV: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/44918.html The insulting thing is that all of that looks like very possible graphics for a PS3 game maybe even 360. Looks like the video almost uses the Uncharted engine ffs.... I'm going to quote Yahtzi for this one: "Indiana Jones in a Fridge Award for Franchise Murder". How fitting.
... Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Looks excellent, I just love the way the way the water looks.. Amazing. (Not.) Problem is none of the game pics posted shows water. Which is even sadder because you made the same mistake I did, and mistook this... ...for a pic of the game. But if you read Haden's post in full you find out that this is an N64 screenshot! But when I looked at it, I also thought it was a screenshot from the Wii game, because frankly, it looks just like the other pics.
Retro_Link Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Find the N64 screen!... Comparison to the PS3/360 version...
mcj metroid Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 which also don't look too great to be honest.. the 360 screen would be acceptable as wii screens.
Cube Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 New screens: Nice try...but that's obviously an N64 screen due to the smaller size, badly photoshopped Wii Remote sign and those spiders.
Noku Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Still think it looks great. By the way, this is Wii-exclusive as far as I know (next-gen-console-wise).
-gonzo- Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Dont know if this has already been posted. Its a video showing off the Wii version with developer commentary. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=211847 Edited March 31, 2009 by -gonzo- link
Retro_Link Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Story Trailer Look a good bit better in motion actually! Story and quest sound good! Edited May 12, 2009 by Retro_Link
Owen Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I think it looks pretty good! Still going to take a chance and purchase it!
Noku Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I think he's right really. "The kind of story that fans expect." Didn't realize that "the staff of kings" referred to Mozes' staff he used to split the Red Sea with. Fits right into the bigger picture of Indy quests, just like the Holy Grail (and unlike a certain crystal skull).
Ganepark32 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 For those interested in getting this, the game will be out in Europe on the 12th of June.
