That… would be very bad for an Indy Jones game…

The main gripe I’ve seen is that stealth doesn’t work very well - if at all - and there are sections of the game where the positioning and sight lines of guards, and the lack of any alternative approach, means that stealth can’t work. And, since Indy is not primarily a fighter, this is a problem.

I needed something to make me go out and walk even though it is cold.
There is a huge green apple in my back yard but I need 6 Pikmin to pick it up.
But then I read this;
Team up with other players: Plant flowers with other players and work together to destroy mushrooms
Destroy Mushrooms! Nooooooo!

A former developer at Hello Games working on some middle ware proc gen tech (Apparance) has released a little tech demo of some of what they’ve been working on as a fun little toy for free.

Makes for a fun relaxing distraction
Sadly my screenshots can’t show it in motion so here’s a link to the original post as well

This is what I read about Indy this morning.
“challenges players to use their wits and sneaking skills to manage conflict.”
This may be an issue for players used to blasting their way thru levels but sounds perfect for me.
Warming up the Xbox now …
Updating 131GB…going back to bed

Best of luck Doctor Jones 
look forward to hearing your take away and hopefully the stealth isn’t as broken as we’ve been hearing. And remember to hold on to your hat.

So far, so good.
I see right away why many will have issues. This is definitely not a smash and grab. This is a look and think game.
Will report more…

Sooo… more in the vain of the old indy point-and-click adventures? Interesting. Certainly not unwelcome, but definitely an issue if it wasn’t clearly announced in the marketing material.

Not point and click,.but kinda. But stealth most definitely.
It was quite satisfying to throw a bottle to distract the guard then come up behind him and whack him with a shovel.
Packing For the Trip
Arrival
Finding a Way In
Things like looking around the office to find things I need for the trip, not going to be everyone’s favorite thing to do but I enjoy that kind of thing.
Look at Indy’s nice canopic jar collection
In addition to the normal difficulty levels, because there is some fighting, you can also choose the puzzle and adventure level. I chose not to have it point where to go. Definitely increases the need to be observant
My hat’s off to the designers
Find the Map to Find Your Way
Ok. Going in now. See you guys later
Hmmm…how to use a flyswatter on a Nazi…

I saw a clip of some melee combat where he grabs a goon by the nose. The fighting style is very Indy

Ok. Must get that one . Reminds me of the Indiana Jones I played on Commodore 64
And I am having too, I mean way too much fun! It is so satisfying to grab a heavy hand bell and chunk it straight into a black shirt’s head.

It looks gorgeous 
No aliens or fridges to hide from nuclear blasts either by the looks of it, which is a sign that this is a good Indiana Jones.

Lots of little collectibles and a camera to take pics. I fear I missed some things in the Vatican.
Now that I am in the second area, I won’t spoil it, things have gotten more difficult…glad I opened the Lucky Hat option…

Normally I can stay awake for these things but this last month I have gained the coveted normal human sleep cycle. I’m fading by 10 and fighting to stay awake anywhere close to midnight and waking up at 6-7 am. (it runs from 00:30 - 04:00 here)
Gonna do my best to stay up tonight though, I’ve been off coffee for a few weeks now but I think the ocassion calls for a cheeky latte, my poor espresso machine will be elated at the prospect.
I’ve spent too long with the Korvax Science Specialist at my base, appliances are my children now.
edit:
I can’t help but think that if they have something to show at TGA, the confirmation might have come in a few months ago and it might have been the thing that sidelined Worlds Part 2 while resources got reshuffled to make sure everything was ready for the big day.
Really trying to temper expectations here but after seeing what was in the datamining thread, I can’t temper shit!
edit:
10 minutes until show time. I’m not expecting anything Hello Games related to show up but I do hope they take an award home :3
edit:
the 30 minute pre-show is also showing game reveals and announcing award winners so… Why is it not just considered the show?

Astrobot cleaning house, glad that FF7 won for best score because they did an incredible job with Uematsu’s original music and re-imagining it for a modern game <3
Edit:
NEW NAUGHTY DOG IP!!! WOOOOOEEEEEE AAAAAH!
Okay I go bed now 
I said a few times now that AstroBot was my personal game of the year, and I bought my ps5 so I could play FF7 rebirth, so it was saying a lot, and wow, it actually won game of the year (and took 3 other categories too <3 )
