Final Trailer for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Released

Danny Dudekisser

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Eh, it looks alright. I don't think it's got any sort of spark to it, but it looks competently made, if not a bit clumsy. It's a pass for me, but I'm curious to see the reception once the thing actually launches.

Placing bets that you have to play as another character at some point in the game, girl boss etc.

Seems like it:


Gina is someone who always tells it like she sees it, which may explain why she’s such a good journalist. This habit of not skirting around the truth is also what got her into major trouble … Gina’s sister is an expert in dead languages, and she’s been missing for some time now. Gina suspects that Emmerich Voss is behind her disappearance, who also happens to be searching for the secret of The Great Circle – something that Indy is keen to get to the truth about. Gina will follow the player along as a companion for a large part of the main adventure and some of the side adventures, providing help during puzzle interactions and lending a hand when the two get into trouble.

Well, you can already see the ugly women surrounding Indy in this trailer. You can bet they will outsmart him at everything and Indy will be the silly comedic relief when they are around.

The only real reason I was interested in this was a heavy emphasis on puzzles. Supposedly. "Providing help during puzzle interactions"...what?

I'm hoping you can turn this shit down or off because this is starting to sound more and more like an ultra-cinematic, training wheels "experience" based on the absurd amount of cutscenes and a near-permanent sidekick.

5 pages and akmost no talk about the trailer …

It does look good. My only caveat is that Baker's Indy voice seems to go in and out per scene, in some scenes he sounds remarkably similar to young Ford, in some scenes he sounds like an older Delsin.

Other than that, the visual presentation is top notch and the trailer showing multiple different puzzle scenarios made it look a lot more like a Butcher Bay / Dishonored esque game.

For a game that was officially announced only 10~ months ago, this is shaping up pretty nicely. They must have been working on it for a while.

This looks like and plays like a basic PSVR game. One thing they nailed in the cuscenes is that indy looks and moves like a statue, he's so rigid.
The game will flop hard like all others ms games because they are simply incompetent at making games or hardware. Feels good

I’ve always had a feeling they were hiding how central to the story she was. She appears 14 times in the launch trailer

Wow so they really are going the same route as Dial of Destiny did LOL, LMAO

Did they not see how badly that movie flopped, nobody wants a fucking girlboss being better than Indiana Jones while scolding him for being a white male for an entire movie/game

This is going to fail so hard, especially once people start comparing it with Uncharted and Tomb Raider
 
More than 30 years ago, Indiana Jones had a female sidekick that you could go through the entire game with but the focus was on Indy

It was also one of the best games ever made in a bygone era

Today it barely has graphics to speak of but if you want to play one of the best games of the 1990's and still the best Indiana Jones videogame ever made, here it is for 2 bucks

Excited to watch a youtube playthrough of it :)

These devs make some amazing cutscenes. Wolf2 was a fun watch, but the actual gameplay to cutscene ratio is just too much for me. Rather just watch and enjoy that way.

Why don't you spend the 2 bucks and play it yourself, I know it's not on Gamepass but surely you can afford to spend the 2 bucks on Steam

My guy are you ok?

They sound very similar.

How did you come to the conclusion that they're 'going the same route as dial of destiny' from that?

Because 30 years ago vs. today

And also again, you can play the old game and play the new one and compare them and maybe you'll understand maybe you won't

No shit?

Again, are you ok lol.

The 'new one' isn't out yet, no one's played it. You're making dumb definitive statement about things you have no idea of.

So people should actually play games to determine what’s it in? And not make assumptions? 🤣

“We didn’t ask for a female sidekick!”

Also

“Why isn’t this female sidekick more beautiful?”

Anyone noticed the lack of nazi symbols??
Really takes you out of the idea actually fighting nazis.

I reckon there will be swasthika's in the environment, and I also thought the omission was curious on the uniform(s).

But a quick google search shows it's historically accurate.

Maybe you'll see higher ranking one's wearing the red arm band like the Wolf games.

Also, you do see soldiers wearing the recognizable Iron Cross on their uniforms.

The pronounced development of the mental protuberance, characterized by increased prominence and angular definition. A dimorphic trait more commonly observed in males due to the influence of testosterone on mandibular growth during puberty

Does this game all the sudden have bad graphics?
Excuse me, I think I have some crow to prepare for cooking…
Graphics looks ok, but animation, especially facial animation, is ancient.

Saw plenty of scenes which almost one to one resemble scenes from the original movie trilogy. Is this creative impotency or cheap nostalgia bait?

wow I forgot about this one I played but didn't finished it on Amiga 500! Bought

edit: lol can't play it if your os isn't 6 years old. Time to load fs-uae I think.
  • Consider not upgrading to macOS 10.15 or above. By staying on macOS 10.14 Mojave or older you will ensure that your 32-bit apps are still playable on your Mac computer.
  • After upgrading to macOS 10.15 Catalina, consider installing macOS 10.14 Mojave on a separate APFS volume on your computer along with Steam. This will allow you to flip over to macOS 10.14 on restart of your computer where you can continue to play all of your 32-bit Mac games. More information here.

As per usual, people are trying really hard to not like it.
Ignore them, we all know who they are and why they’re doing it and talking about them isn’t worth anybody’s time.

I’ve been waiting on this game since forever, favorite movie hero. Hoping for a classic Indy adventure with cool action set pieces and interesting and complicated puzzles and not too much hand holding.
Day 1!
 
Ultimately it's your opinion, but the environment work, global illumination, facial animations etc all look quite good to my eyes.

This does not look like a cheap game.
My biggest gripe with the graphics is how uncanny Indy looks. I'd understand if it was by contract or something but then all the other characters have this same look and it's really off-putting. Animations are too fabricated on top of that. The first seconds of the trailer Indy walks in with the ugliest walking animation I've seen in a long time.

Seriously, when is this bullshit trend going to stop in the Western developer community?

These faces are “voluntarily” transformed, so don't tell me it's the lighting, the polygons or some crap like that. At some point, you have to send a strong signal to these developers: don't buy or play their games. Attacking publishers' wallets is the only way to make your voice heard.
