For starters, all three games have had their file structures optimised, fitting the entire trilogy into a tidy 100GB.

Took them long enough to give EA the boot.

A new Indiana Jones game with an original story is in development from our studio, @MachineGames, and will be executive produced by Todd Howard, in collaboration with @LucasfilmGames. It’ll be some time before we have more to reveal, but we’re very excited to share today’s news!

Oh yay nothing could possibly be worse than hearing Todd Howard working on an Indiana Jones game. Why are people this excited over the game? Have they completely forgotten the last game Todd worked on?

haha i have no idea. im not interested in Indiana Jones at all, but it seems like people are excited about it
seems like the Wolfenstein Youngblood people are working on it, i havent played that either
That just makes it less of a sure thing as well. Youngblood didn’t suck but it sure isn’t the best and New Colossus was good but it felt bad in parts.

Holy shit! Hope it turns out well 
Maybe Todd can prove to us that he still got what it takes to make a good game. Especially an adventure one. Anyone remember Reguard? That was Todd’s baby…

Seems that Todd “The Chessmaster” Howard left clues

I guess Wolfenstein is taking a nap right now.
If Indiana Jones could replace Tomb Raider in terms of gameplay and missions style I would be interested, I’m not talking about rebooted Tomb Rider where Lara Croft is a massmurderer, but when Tomb Raider was about puzzles, fighting bats, tigers etc and some few humans.
indiana jones had some great games. the three (?) point and clicks were all really good, but i also loved the og xbox’s indiana jones and the emperor’s tomb. the melee system was the perfect fit; sloppy, grabby and brutal.

And in this trailer I saw some classic Tomb Raider mechanics as well

yeah, it was nicely divided between platform puzzles and nazi bashing. exactly what you’d want from an indiana jones game.
i think it was made by the same team that did that old buffy the vampire slayer game.

And now there’s a new Star Wars game in the works and it’s not by EA

Ubisoft is working on a open world Star Wars game.
Of course they do, wouldn’t be surprised it would be a Far Recon Assassins Cry Ghost Creed kind of open world game…
I don’t know, Ubisoft took the microtransactions to new heights in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and your teammates was gone (but put in again now?), it got even further away from being a Ghost Recon game than Wildlands was, but with Serge Hascoët gone:
Hascoët was treated almost like a member of the family. He was given ultimate authority to cancel, greenlight, or overhaul any game to his specifications. Project reviews would take place at a type of meeting known within Ubisoft as “gates,” and Hascoët was usually the gatekeeper.
Maybe we will see better games from Ubisoft from now on, maybe the developer will have more artistic freedom?
I’m not fine with them yet, Ubisoft was once one of my favorite game developers, with the classic Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six games.
It’s maybe too early to see changes in Far Cry 6, but here’s hoping their Star Wars game will not be just a generic open world game like Far Cry, Ghost Recon and Assassins Creed is now.

After so many years with only EA making SW games, I’m happy that others get a go at it
