Indy Jones game "in production" News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Tom Bramwell

22 February, 2008

The new Indiana Jones action game has only just gone into production, according to a LucasArts source.

Eurogamer was told at GDC that the game has been in pre-production for about two years, but found itself sidelined by Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Now it's getting going though, with actual production work in action. It will not be out this year, we were told.

Indy Jones, of course, uses NaturalMotion's "euphoria" technology to handle complex CPU-based dynamic animation trickery.

Like GTA's drunken sequences, the actual animations aren't pre-rendered, but occur in tune with what the action is telling the game engine.

Not to be confused with the LEGO Indiana Jones game, the new Indiana Jones is currently TBA in the release date department.

Unfortunatly, it's not going to an adventure game, so I find it difficult to care. Fate of Atlantis was one of the best games ever.

I thought this had been in production for AGES. What were all those screenshots of Indy in a fight on the roof of a tram or something?

Those were tech demos of the Euphoria engine and DDM.

Pre-production for two years? Yikes.

I take it that was just the point at which someone wrote "Indy: New Game" on the top of a sheet of A4 and then filed it in their to-do tray...

Eh? This isn't new news.

It's been "in production" for a while hasn't it?

Using the jazzy AI and engine bits from Force Unleashed?

Oh.

Funny, the old Indy Euphoria trailer had already proclaimed Summer 2007 as the release window.
