They really wanna complain for the sake of complaining. And wait till they just gaslight this entire comment line in some future video. I really loved old Inside-Gaming show but this one is just 'what's the edgiest of most edgy take on this topic' type series and then later nitpicking stuff and saying 'see, we were right all along!'.
I fail to see what the issue is with an Indiana jones game being like the older movies. It’s literally the reason why we love the character. Since when is sticking true to the IP a bad thing. The game that you want already exists. Its called uncharted, or Tomb Raider. So more of the same, but yet original. Makes absolutely no sense
@@nezahuatez its not based on any of the movies. It is its own original story. With all new plot and setting. So what you said makes no sense. It just keeps the tone of the older movies. Which it absolutely should. Indiana jones was never a mass killer in the movies. His trusted tool is a whip. Not a gun. Answer me this question. Since when is it a bad thing to stay true to the source material?
@@makkam454 you're clearly excited. That's fine. Nobody is saying you shouldn't be. We're saying it's reasonable for other people to not be excited. You don't need to take up arms for LucasArts 😂😂
Who remembers how hilarious the Indy Jones Emperors Tomb series was on Funhaus, anyway I’m looking forward to Great Circle. Resembles that theme of early 2000s first person James Bond games, we need more linear games in a world saturated with open worlds.
As interesting as an edgy take on Indiana Jones might be, I think it was the right call to have it be faithful to the tone of the films. At its core, the Indy franchise is based off of 1940's cliffhanger serials that George Lucas grew up with. Making it edgy and modern instead of whimsical and swashbuckling would just kill the spirit Indy was built on. And the recent Tomb Raider trilogy already fills the niche of a dark and gritty take on archeology adventures.
Only thing I didn't like is the obvious Self-insert of Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Helena Shaw) apparently in this. My question is WHY does an Indy videogame need TWO protagonists? That Helena Shaw clone should just be a background character and Indy (who is and should be the STAR of his own VideoGame) be the Main Character. And her comment "try to keep up" just smacks of Dial of Destiny, it's nauseating. Are we going to hear her belittle, mock, and insult Indy throughout the game, too? This game would've been lit if they didn't add "her".
@@HB-fq9nn Except that female companion doesn't try to become the Focal point of the movie which is what they attempted in Dial of Destiny. Nobody went to watch that movie to see Phoebe(Helena Shaw). They went to see Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones be Indiana Jones.
I love how often Lawrence will start to complain about something, then admit that there might be something good about it, and as a finale he completely backtracks and says it is good.
I kind of wish Indiana Jones was 3rd person, but at least the traversal moments will apparently be in 3rd so that's not so bad. I'm looking forward to it.
@@nezahuatez Here's a perspective for you : There are people who like 3rd person. There are people who like 1st person. The 3rd person group lost. 1st person wins. It's that simple.
The Starfield hate is crazy overdone. People don't have individual opinions anymore. A couple outlets are allowed to set the opinions of an entire industry.
All i want for the combat for the Indiana jones game is that enemies get bruised when you punch them and bleed if you shoot them. I dont want wolfenstein levels of gunplay and gore it wouldnt fit the aesthetic of the series.
I couldn't put my finger on why I strangely liked the visuals and like Lawrence said, the style does seem a lot alike to Sea of Thieves or maybe even Fortnite (in my opinion) due to the more cartoon-y art style.
Bruce's webcam partially covers it but at 30:26 there's a list of rules for polite/respectful meeting behavior on the whiteboard; wonder what happened to make them need that list...
if they didn't have Harrison Ford's likeness for Indiana Jones it would be a huge mistake. Think of the Marvel Avengers game when they all looked like weird porn star knockoffs. Also think politically, customers would take a step back and wonder if it was a cut-corner game ("wow, they didnt even get his likeness"). I feel like Lawrence is also kinda forgetting how cheesy and over the top the original movies were - they're silly fun. That's a huge part of the charm.
Pretty excited for Avowed. Been begging for a Skyrim like new game. Skyrim is over a console generation old and I loved the modding community, but I want a new area/story. Hammerfell has been in the wings with no sign of release or trailer.
Playing good games. The ones that put entertainment above being artsy 😅 Not to say video games can't be amazing works of art, just usually comes at the expense of fun.. like in Hellblades case.
In think Lawrence being skeptical is good. Better to be pleasantly surprised at release than get hyped and disappointed. He's just a guy that's played more titles than the average consumer by a wide margin. So i can understand he's approach being more critical. The funny thing is on his personal streams the only impression i get is how much he loves the medium as a art form. Talking about menu music and font choices. Tldr: never change Lawrence
It's crazy how I still don't understand what the fuck Hellblade 2 is about or why it needs to exist. I'll probably play it (cuz hellblade was really cool), but I was hoping to know SOMETHING more than "it's a real game"
It's weird that a lot of comments think Inside Games is saying that Indiana Jones looks like a bad game... It seemed to me that they were saying the game itself looks fine, but that the talent at Machine Games might be overqualified to produce a cookie cutter movie game.
the fact this obsidian is showing new vegas as if anyone still there actually worked on it is wild. The current Obsidian is NOT the same as the one that made NV.
After fallout New Vegas, didn't obsidian offer to make an elder scrolls game but Bethesda turned them down? Maybe avowed is just them saying fuck it, we'll make our own elder scrolls! I'm conservatively hyped.
Honestly not sure how I feel about this showing, most of the veiwings were kind of mid other than the Indiana Jones game which genuinely looks far better than I could of imagined. Avowed is looking a bit better but still has some serious jank, especially the ragdolls, they need much better physics.
Overall, it was a pretty decent livestream from Xbox. I still don't think any of the games are absolute standouts. But Xbox will have a nice lineup for 2024, so that should make us all happy.
Gotta say I disagree with Laurence about Hellblade, it seems like they are trying to take the first game and take things to the next level. I agree that it doesn't seem as if the game will be much more complicated, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I feel like too often we have had game sequels come out and it falls so incredibly flat because they tried to do too much and ran out of budget early on and became a terrible mess. With how many games there are these days, having more of the same good experience is a good thing. Considering the size of the developer and what they are aiming to do with bringing more exposure and understanding of the experience of psychosis, I'm glad they arn't trying to make their sequel an epic Video Game. I was a big fan of the first game also because it was a nice contained experience, the combat was obviously not the focus, telling the story was. Maybe its just because I don't seek the same things as Laurence does from games, but I felt like he was putting the game down for being too simplistic and so I felt like trying to give another perspective, even if no one will probably read all of this. I hope this comes across as merely discourse and not a NUH UH, UR WRONG.
I’m sorry but this really comes across as pretentious when talking about the Indy game. When has Indy ever been about gore and over the top violence? Yes, games should evolve and different interpretations are nice but changing the whole foundation and formula just to add unnecessary edge to a character for shock value doesn’t add up. I grew up watching the original trilogy and seeing the last crusade in theaters and the scope of the game reminds me of it. Sometimes it’s okay for a video game to be just that; a video game. It’s fine for a studio known for a particular style of game to venture out and try something new because it’s break up the monotony of doing the same ol thing. Relax and let’s just see what comes of these games. What a tragedy and loss? Dude, get over yourself and maybe, just maybe they wanted to make this and excited to do so.
@@aznboy1109 I have to agree 100 percent. When you look at certain games like COD for example, they have to constantly outdo themselves because it’s a yearly franchise and you must keep things fresh. With Indiana Jones there hasn’t been a consistent stream of content so it’s fine to invoke our memories of his adventures by making something that harkens back to it
@@nezahuatez No one is getting paid to say the Indiana Jones game looks exactly like more Indiana Jones. A lot of people want that. The experience. Some people want gameplay, those people can play something else. I'm excited for the Indiana Jones game BECAUSE it's just more Indy. That's all I asked for and it looks like that's what I'm getting.
@@nezahuatez i mean it’s all about having balance. I’ve never got into God of War series but really enjoyed the recent ps4 title and that was a total revamp of the series and also a playable movie supported by solid gameplay. Again, balance. The titles he mentioned like uncharted is basically a playable movie. From what it seems, the team behind this game are really passionate about it and want to deliver a solid product. I’m all for it and that’s what I’m defending.
Lawrence also touched on the fact that the Wolfenstein games were kind of on a downward trajectory so it's probably a good thing they didnt go for that tone
@@nezahuatezwhat you just described is exactly what the gaming media considers to be bangers for PlayStation. I find it a bit ironic that all of a sudden Xbox has a game of the same pedigree and now is considered niche. Xbox tax is real.
All I'm going to say about Indy is lets wait and see. Guardians looked very average in it's premiere and from all the super hero games to come out, it's one of the best. But, when you're a dev you should never "really work hard at creating villains" with n@zi's. You see those flags..."Got it! Bad guys!"
I really don't get the need for MS trailers to show developers talking marketing stuff and walking down hallways over and over instead of just nice, clean trailers, that's one of the things Sony did best in a lot of E3 presentations, just trailers and trailers back to back, i really didn´t need to know that Todd like indiana Jones
It’s called a developer direct🤦🏾♂️ what the hell did you expect was going to happen? Sony fans are confusing as fuck. You’ll love to brag about how much you support developers but be the first ones to criticize them. It’s actually refreshing to hear how they come up with the ideals for their games. The format you’re expecting happens in June when Xbox will have their showcase.
Indiana jones just looks like another movie. God forbid they want to give it a seperate identity that leans into it being a game and not a movie. But who knows we havent seen much gamaeplay but what was shown looks average as fuck.
The only game that I’m truly interested in is Avowed, glad to see that the combat and visuals is better presented compared to the last preview. The other ones don’t look worth my time, specially Hellblade with their mediocre combat.
I would try hellblade 1 if you have game pass, I would give it up to the first real boss and if you aren’t hooked by that point then I wouldn’t bother. As a fan who’s eagerly awaiting I can agree with the combat being a bit simple, but the rest of the experience is a crazy environmental puzzle game
when will companies learn using buzz words is the most cringe inducing vomit thing for the ears, its like they don't listen to their own crap sometimes
What the fuck do you want them to say? You want them to create new words to explain the type of game they’re making? I swear gamers are some of the most annoying and entitled ppl on earth. Can’t please you mfer’s for nothing.
Hellblade 2, a game that's been in development for 7 years, will cost 50 dollars and is admittedly short, along with no prolonged uninterrupted gameplay that gives me the big yikes. The biggest criticism of the original was the gameplay. They show her walking down a hallway and cut. It makes me think that is all it is. A corridor romp Red flags, for sure.
So, it's Hellblade 1, about the same length to complete as the original, slightly better combat but more of the same as the first, with more immersion and a deeper feel. I don't think the game is for you.
Technically development started in 2019 so its 5 years, 2 of which were the pandemic and since its an extremely mocap heavy game I doubt they could get much done during that period
