Speculations on Lucasarts Indiana Jones
Marc of Arabia | 1:22 PM on 06.10.2008 7 comments


Lucasarts has long confirmed work on an internally developed Indiana Jones action-
adventure game. Plot details are scarce but from what has been said and shown we do
know that it does not follow the plot of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The only in-game footage that Lucasarts has shown is a fight on top of a cable car in San
Francisco and considering how old this is (E3 2006) and that is was really just a demonstration
of the Euphoria engine I think it's pretty safe to say that that particular sequence may not be
in the game. Therefore what could the plot be? I'm personally pulling for them to revive the
unfortunately dead Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix. Phoenix was originally supposed to be
a sequel to the critically successful Fate of Atlantis but was cancelled due to restraints
preventing distribution in Germany. The plot can be found
over on MixnMojo.
But in short the plot revolves around the search for the Philosophers Stone and the Germans
attempts to reanimate Hitler. I know it sounds a little...out there, but really the plot description
makes it sound pretty decent. Over course this new game isn't going to be like the adventure
games of old but the plot should still work fairly well.

I'm hopeful that this game will turn out well. I know Lucasarts has failed pretty hard recently
but there's still a little part of me that holds them in pretty high regard. I mean, shit, as long
as George Lucas stays away from the script it should be pretty decent.

I was drawn here by your avatar...and now I can't leave.

Ridiculous or not, that plot sounds WAY better than the new flick.

Also, I love you for acknowledging Lucas and his Reverse Midas Touch.

The new IJ movie wasn't that bad. It was just like the 4th Die Hard. good, but not for ANY of the reasons the originals were good(WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much CGI). Also should have been called Indiana Jones and the Men form Space or something (Seriously, what the fuck was with the si-fi plot)

People keep forgetting he's an archaeologist. He's always on the sidelines, away from the main going-ons, ending up at the right place at the right time at the end. If he has to punch someone, he will.

But I'm tired of this Soviet Commie crap. Either Nazis or no Nazis - bringing in the Soviets makes Indy out to be some American hero or something, which he wasn't (primarily, he still acted out of the best for his homeland). And what's with the Philosopher's Stone? He needs to go after some more artifacts based on belief or past civilizations (fate of atlantis), it gets people invested in the story more.

Or just let Indy go. I'm fine with that. I still have the classics, and the good old point-n-clicks.

Sounds like re-animating Hitler would be a cool plot. Zombie Hitler would the the final boss yelling "BRAAAAAAAIIIIINNNSSS!" while he chased you around in a Panzer tank.

Any game with the Euphoria engine is a game I want. :D I just wonder when they plan on releasing it, I thought it was canned for sure.

reanimated Hitler? ANYTHING to bring back the Nazis as the main enemy. and it's not any more "out there" than god-damn aliens. fucking Lucas.
