Looks great. For an N64 game.

Looks like my fears about this essentially being a PSP port are being borne out...

Sometimes even the illusion of a bit of effort can help.

I don't think these shots are from the Wii version?

Is this the PSX version? Who runs LucasArts these days, JarJar Binks?

Actually, the slightly lanky-looking characters and the distended icons make me think that these are doctored PSP shots. That said, I still suspect the Wii game won't look a hell of a lot better.

Even so, I'm still intrigued - I love Indy, plus Fate Of Atlantis... whoohoo!

EDIT: For proof, look at the image of Indy whipping the shelving so that if falls on the Nazi... all the target icons are oval rather than round.

Doesn't look too bad IMO. Better than the last Indy game on the Xbox anyway.

The snow shot reminds me of Mission Impossible on the N64

That's pretty harsh.

Hero of Sparta looks a lot better.

The icon for the article is for the DS, so if that is the case, the graphics are amazing! Plus this gallery is linked on the DS Page.

Wow, must be the suckiest Wii graphics I've seen this year. Unless this is the PS2 version... hey, in which case, it would still be the suckiest PS2 graphics I've seen this year.

If this is the PSP or DS version, it doesn't look half bad.

I looked at the screenshots and they look very poor, have they not seen God of War on the PSP, that game looks amazing and plays well too, IJatSoK appears washed out and very basic indeed, have they farmed it out the devs of Iron Man?!

hmmm... i actually don't think it looks too bad. I'm assuming it's the PS2 version but who knows.

As I said earlier, look ath the oval icons... my bet is these are reformatted PSP shots.

The oval icon, to me, looks like it is perspective correct for the block it is sitting on top. It doesn't look like a typical wrong AR shot as everything else is correct AR.

So I guess the jury is still out on what format this is for. My guess is PS2/PSP/NDS, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear XBLA/PSN.

(goes back and looks at screens.. notices there's nothing actually wrong with any of them.. and realises the fanboys are just jumping straight into wii threads going "hahaha its shit" again).

smelly: wow, you really mean that? Take a closer look at the last screen. The soldier looks like he crawled out of Goldeneye 64. And that's the worst-looking tomb I've seen in years. I seriously hope this is an upscaled PSP version or something, and even if it were, it would still suck.

Gameplay will be a different matter, of course. But I'm afraid it will suck as well, I mean, the last two Indy games weren't exactly good (I kinda liked TIM though).

These definitely do look like PSP screenshots to me; the character models and textures point in that direction imho.

Why do Wii games look like they have a lower resolution than that of the last generation of consoles?

"smelly: wow, you really mean that?"


Yip.. I was too busy looking at the scenery to notice.

yeah.. he does look fairly bad when he's static.. Looks to me like they're WIP screens.. we'll see.
