E3 2005: Indiana Jones uncovered on Next-Gen
Tie in with new film, perhaps?
Amongst the entire Star Wars hullabaloo it can be easy to forget that LucasArts controls another incredibly popular piece of filmic IP. Indiana Jones has starred in numerous gaming adventures, but apart from the classic adventure games from over a decade ago, nothing he's appeared in since has ever captured the public's imagination. So here's hoping Indy's further adventures on the next generation of consoles turn out to be an improvement over his last few outings.
Planned for release in 2007, the dates suggest a possible tie-in with the Indiana Jones IV movie which has been languishing in development hell for the last few years. That is only hopeful guesswork at the moment, as the only hard facts we know about the next Indy games is that they will take advantage of the superior graphical capabilities of the new consoles and that they will feature much improved AI and physics over previous incarnations. Which is about as surprising as Indiana belting a Nazi in the mouth. Still, it's nice to know that they are doing something with the old chap.
