Expected E3 Titles For Konami/LucasArts 31

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 28, 2006 @11:52AM from the here's-hoping dept.

Next Gen has two more articles featuring titles they're hoping to see from Konami and LucasArts. From the latter article: "Indiana Jones - Talk about secretive - LucasArts has not breathed a word of Indiana Jones to the press since last year's E3. Even then, that announcement was pretty bereft of the typical content you'd expect, without a video, a screenshot, or even a plot point to get the mind racing at the possibilities. Basically, all we know about Indiana Jones as a game coming into E3 2006 is that Indiana Jones will be in it, and that he will probably wear a hat."

If the hat is stolen by a floating baddie, will Indiana Jones slowly lose health?

All I want is Knights of the Old Republic III...with a good plot...and a decent ending, perhaps with some closure.

  Well you know what happens in Star Wars; isn't that enough of an ending? 6 whole movies and an animated series to tie up the plot!

  Maybe part of the problem is in your definition of sequel. Half-Life -> Half-Life 2 was a sequel with some enhancements to the experience. Super Mario Brothers -> Super Mario World was not a sequel. It was the same genre but that hardly counts as it being a sequel. Otherwise, Life and Monopoly are the same thing because they are both board games in the same genre.
  With that said, LucasArts could very well make a really good Indiana Jones game that is in the same genre but is still innovative. Bu

    You make some good points, and I'll admit that I should have thought more about it before I submitted that comment!
    
    You mentioned that many new genres sprung up in the 90s, and is it a coincidence that technology seems to have made leaps and bounds in that same period of time? Probably not. So, maybe the main source of the argument that there isn't enough innovation in the games industry is that new technology cannot keep up with demand for innovation. As more technology is available to the general public an

    I don't see what you're saying about "the same genre."
    The old Indiana Jones games by Lucasarts were all adventure games (with a little bit
    of action put in.) The later games were all 3rd person action games.
    I think that anyone with a little bit of imagination and the will can make a game
    that is unique, fun and has fresh ideas.
    
    I don't know about today's Lucasarts, but the Lucasarts of the past had quite a knack for innovation even in the waning genre of adventure games. People like Tim Schafer contin

      I might be using the term genre a little loosely. After all, given enough abstraction, even War and Peace could be made to seem the same basic story as the Andy Griffith Show.
      ...innovation even in the waning genre...
      This is mostly what I was referring to. Here you say they have innovation within the same genre. I agree. It is completely possible to be innovative in a genre/niche/field/etc. But the guy I was replying to orignally seemed to be saying that because a company was coming out with a "seq

While I'm still not interested in buying a PSP.. mostly because of its emphasis on PSX remakes I've already played to death.. I have to tip my hat to Konami for reviving the original Silent Hill. They're doing very well with this franchise and I applaud them. I enjoyed the movie despite the fact they changed a few names and had the mother take the lead role, but overall it stayed amazingly faithful to the game's story and even mimicked many scenes from the game, right down to the camera angles and of co

There hasn't been a space sim anywhere close to the original Totally Games releases. (Special emphasis on the word "sim")

Bring back X-Wing! (Set of course in the timeframe of the original trilogy. Right between Empire and Return would suit us all just fine!

  There is no time "between" empire and jedi. The films follow without gaps.
  
  I'd really like them to let go of the entire film thing and concentrate on a different period for once though. That was one of the strengths of KOTOR in my opinion: star wars feel without the annoying movie plots getting in the way.

  X-Wing already was brought back as X-Wing Alliance, and while it wasn't a bad game by any means, for some reason no one seemed to really notice it.
  
  What would be far more interesting to me would be another TIE Fighter. Though knowing Lucasarts, what we'd actually get if they did another space combat game would involve flying clone trooper ships and jedi starfighters.
