Indiana Jones 2007 Announced - First Pics and Trailer!

LucasArts entertainment have released some information and screenshots on their upcoming next-generation release for the Xbox360 and PS3: Indiana Jones 2007. Now, this may not be the most glamorous of names, but this is a working title, so it'll be changed to something a bit more exotic closer to the release date.
 




Set in 1939, this original Indy story - the first from LucasArts with direction from George Lucas - puts you in the fedora of the legendary adventure hero as he unravels the clues found in ancient artifacts spanning the globe. From San Francisco's Chinatown to the world's most sacred ground, Indy must use his fists, whip and trusty revolver to fight through ruthless opposition and piece together a mystery of biblical proportions.

Indiana Jones 2007 will feature cutting-edge euphoria technology from NaturalMotion, which is supposed to deliver never-before-seen lifelike action and awareness to every character in real time - so you'll never see the same thing twice. For the first time ever, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time. Here's some more information for all you Indy fans out there:
  • This epic, original story written with direction by George Lucas - a first for Indiana Jones games - takes place during Indy's prime in 1939, one year after the events of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, at a time when the Nazis are embarking upon their attempt to conquer Europe.
  • Use your fists, whip and trusty revolver to take on enemies and experience a down-and-dirty fight like only Indiana Jones delivers.
  • New technologies such as euphoria (a behavioral simulation engine from NaturalMotion) and Digital Molecular Matter (a breakthrough in environmental interaction by Pixelux Entertainment) combine to revolutionize the feeling of realism in a game without the limitations of traditional animation, ensuring a completely unique experience every time.
  • Face off against one of Indiana's most hated longtime rivals, reunite him with old friends, and meet more of his most trusted allies throughout the world.
  • Indiana Jones 2007 is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
I don't know about you, but this techno-gabble seems pretty good. Lets hope LucasArts put it in more of their future titles! Here's the rest of the eye Candy.

I was curious if any Jones will going have another movie. But with the HD gaming, it is good enough to me to calling it 'Movie with interactive'. Even better for me..



Can't wait to get hand on the PS3. (also wii too)

» New Movie, New Game

There is going to be a new Indiana Jones movie starring Harrison Ford himself. I find it interesting that the characters will move logically and differently everytime. We could be saying goodbye to preset animations and motions... Interesting.

» Actually...

the physics engine they are using is super good for animations...this game may look like ass in stills (plus it's still early) but it would look good in motion, the engine mixes ragdolls and pre-animated sequences for certain actions, it's cool....

They still have a lot of time to get those graphics up to snuff. I'm just surprised they would release a trailer with in-game footage this early, when it's clear that it's still VERY work-in-progress.
