    Maybe it’s a strong case of nostalgia but a first person Indiana Jones game doesn’t feel right. But on the flip side, if it was a true third person game, people would complain that it’s a clone of Uncharted and Tomb Raider despite Indy being the original.

    I have mixed feelings which make me happy as I don’t have an Xbox. 😁

      Exact same reaction. First person feels so inappropriate for this property that I immediately assumed comparisons to Uncharted and Tomb Raider must have been a, if not the, major contributing factor to going first person.

      First person perspective blurs the line between player and character for a specific type of immersion (when done well). An Indiana Jones game should be all about playing as motherfucking Indiana Jones, no blurred lines necessary. His stature and costume is integral to the formula that makes him iconic, and without them, the gameplay segments of this trailer make it look like Far Cry: The 80s Adventure Serial.

        The fact the Nazis are involved is obviously very cool considering it’s Indiana Jones but you can’t help (well me anyway) thinking that it is quite Wolfenstein-y.

    100% stealthy, or 40% stealthy, 40% whip crackin’, 20% puzzle solving, and 100% Nazi punching?

    Nazi punchin’ better be in there. It’s his signature move.

    Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression…

    I’m dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford’s likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

    Cautiously optimistic.

      The voice isn’t quite right :( I wish they’d have Harrison ford for the voice at least.
