I hope Indy is 3rd person. ID tech would be cool!

FWIW the Lead Designer for The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay is Design Director on Indiana Jones.

Hell yeah!

Indiana Jones is exciting, I wasn't expecting to see it so soon.

The new Indiana Jones by ZeniMax Media will be released in 2024, sources close to the game tell Insider Gaming.

They have been that way for awhile. Doom 3 was their only id Tech 4 game, Rage was their only id Tech 5 game, and Doom 2016 was their only id Tech 6 game. All of the other games on each of those 3 iterations of the id Tech engine were from 2nd/3rd party developers, for instance Machine used id Tech 5 on Wolfenstein The New Order and Wolfenstein The Old Blood, Arkane and Tango adapted id Tech 5 into their Void and Quake Engines respectively, while Machine used id Tech 6 on Wolfenstein 2, Youngblood, and Cyberpilot. The only difference with id Tech 7 is that so far no 2nd/3rd party studio has used it for a game unlike previous id Tech iterations, Indiana Jones from Machine could potentially be the first and/or only 2nd/3rd party game to use id Tech 7 before id releases their first id Tech 8 game.

Quite different from Bethesda who did 3 games on Creation Engine 1.0 before upgrading to Creation Engine 2.0 for Starfield.

If I remember right, the steam versions of the games requires you to use your Microsoft/xbox account - so if you have achievements from the Xbox versions, they will automatically unlock on Steam.

This has always been my mindset. I have all 3 consoles but the console that gets the most time has always been the Xbox.  I purchase a Xbox not because of how many exclusives it has but currently the eco system is my primary place for games.  Its funny because we have been down this road before.  When MS announced that they are putting all their first party games on PC, we got the same doom and gloom comments.  So now we have rumors that MS may put HiFi Rush on Switch and SOT on both PS and Switch and suddenly we are doom and gloom again for games which mind you probably should be on those platforms.  It doesn't make sense for a service game to stay exclusive to one platform, MS should always put service games on as many platforms as they can.  As for HiFi rush, the switch is definitely the place for a game like that and it probably going to sell just as well as Ori did.

I actually would find it silly for Sony to limit any of their service games to just the PS.  Its a waste of resources when those service depend on as many users as possible.  Why is Fortnite as big as it is, because you can play it on everything.  Now all service games will be as big as fortnite but every service game needs to be on as many platforms as possible for growth and support.

Dunno why anyone is upset at Switch getting Hi-Fi Rush anyway when we're getting Pokemon.

I have a friend who's really excited about this.

Imagine if GameFreak wasnt so cheap (or Nintendo - or is it The Pokemon Company) wasnt so stingy with budget.

Instead we're getting a clone who looks better and will have better performance but probably be worse, gameplay wise lol.
