Telltale Games

jones1899 · 07/10/2009, 03:51 pm

Telltale, I (and many others) would LOVE to see you do an Indiana Jones game next!! Surely the look and overall tone would have to change a bit, but your links to Lucasarts and your firm understanding of story, character and puzzles would make you the perfect fit for giving us Indy fans a GOOD INDY GAME for a change.

What do ya say!?

I really don't like the old indie games because of the fighting....
now you can continue to throw rocks at me...

glenfx · 07/10/2009, 11:37 pm

The only Indiana Jones game i liked was Fate of Atlantis, and the other i kind of "liked" but not that much was the Emperor's tomb, it felt more like Tomb Raider than Indy.

I would love Indiana Jones point and click (wink wink) graphic Adventure not action adventure.

But it might not happen.

Lol, we will

Aside from jokes, I think they were really hard just in Indy 3 (last crusade), they were OK in atlantis! And btw, they could be revisited to make the game ready for the new century!

Yes, I am talking about an ADVENTURE game in teh tradition of LC and FoA. What do you say Telltale?

Also, I could have sworn I saw an interview with someone from Telltale mentioning the possibility. Not sure where though. It was last week maybe the week before...

Hey guys,

I am a huge Monkey Island fan from Germany, but I also liked to play other great Lucas Arts adventures like Indiana Jones.

I just wanted to see how you guys liked these games like Fate of Atlantis or the Last Crusade.

Maybe some of you can write down some comments about this.

Greetings from Germany

There's no way in hell Lucas Arts would let any other company touch their Indy franchise.

Farlander · 11/15/2009, 04:46 am

Besides, Indiana Jones is an action/arcade franchise since a long time ago. Not a very bad one, though. I mean, Emperor's Tomb was very enjoyable.

KevinSig · 11/15/2009, 04:50 am

Well, I keep expecting Lucasarts to shut them down, but there is a fan group working on making a Fate of Atlantis-like adventure game. Its called Indiana Jones & the Fountain of Youth. It has a demo up, and supposedly the 1st 6 rooms are already finished.

Thanks for the information Kevin....The fan-game doesn't even look that bad.

I for myself really liked Fate of Atlantis as an adventure game. It was one of my favourite Lucas Arts games besides Monkey Island and Day of Tentacle.

What are you talking about? That's the only thing that they've done in the past ten or so years.

eskimo · 11/15/2009, 05:00 am

I really loved fate of atlantis, but I've got to agree, Indy is too huge that I doubt lucasarts will let anyone else touch it.

They're already talking about another movie from the series.

Mataku · 11/15/2009, 05:23 am

I wasn't too keen on the ability to die on FOA. It took me by surprise when it first happened. But you can tell they put a lot of effort into the game, and also that it came out around the time of MI2, because it gives the same vibe. I just didn't enjoy it as much as i would've liked. Then again, i was never really into the whole indiana jones story to begin with. I never watched the movies, even...

Matrinka · 11/15/2009, 06:10 am

Fate of Atlantis is one of my all time favorite adventure games. It was extremely fun and the plot was excellent. I consider it the true fourth Indy story. Crystal Skull was crap in comparison. I wish they would have adapted this story instead of making that hideous piece of schlock.

I have lost track of how many other companies LA has hired to make Star Wars games..... why wouldn't they do the same for Indy?

108 Stars · 11/15/2009, 08:13 am

I found the Indy-adventures very boring and did not play them through. I HIGHLY prefer MI, Maniac Mansion, DOTT or Zack McKracken.

*Irishmile* · 11/15/2009, 08:30 am

I didn't finish them either....

Emperor's Tomb was developed by The Collective, and Staff of Kings by A2M. As has been pointed out, more than a few of LEC's Star Wars games are 3rd party as well. If anything, it's become much rarer for LEC to develop in-house.

But it's really easy to avoid death in FOTA. It's not like a King Quest game, where you can die due to something you didn't do three hours earlier.

doodo! · 11/15/2009, 09:06 am

Comparing it to other franchises is not something I'm going to do.
But...Fate of Atlantis and the Last Crusade are both CLASSICS. No matter how you dice it, quality graphics, voice acting, puzzles, game play of that time. There well made games, well LC does not have voice acting...

IT's commonly regarded as a 9 or perfect 10

Frankly Last Crusade is under rated.http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure...rgames;title;1
