Some throuble with the new Indy game

Posted by run of the mill from host-216-77-202-181.btr.bellsouth.net on August 24, 1999 at 12:39:09:

I just saw a 2 minute video of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, the new Indy 3d game for the PC and playstation. Most of it looks great. They show an example of lashing and swinging with that famous arcane, but elegant weapon and also show some of the rafting. I did, however, have a problem that I knew I would have as soon a I fist heard about this game two years ago. In one scene they show Indy doing a sideways somersault (sp?). Sure this may sound incredibly minor, but Indy doesn't do flips. That's completely wrong for his character. I know it's only a game, but one of the best things about Indy movies is Indy's character. The game is being made by Hal Barwood, who also made Fate of Atlantis (awesome) and he knows Indy pretty well. All I'm saying is I hope acrobatics is the only error they made as far as character goes. I hope they remember his faults, sense of humor and wit and also that occasional reluctance that makes the character more real. Anyone see my point? Anyone else not want a chep Indy/Mario video game?
