Expected E3 Titles For Konami/LucasArts

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the here's-hoping dept.

Next Gen has two more articles featuring titles they're hoping to see from Konami and LucasArts. From the latter article: "Indiana Jones - Talk about secretive - LucasArts has not breathed a word of Indiana Jones to the press since last year's E3. Even then, that announcement was pretty bereft of the typical content you'd expect, without a video, a screenshot, or even a plot point to get the mind racing at the possibilities. Basically, all we know about Indiana Jones as a game coming into E3 2006 is that Indiana Jones will be in it, and that he will probably wear a hat."

  1. Games rehashed... by Parallax+Blue · · Score: 0, Troll

    Konami's lineup contains almost no new games whatsoever... Bomberman, DDR, Silent Hill, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid. These are all games we've seen before, and it seems these are just updates to take advantage of better technology. The only possible exception to Konami's lineup is Death Jr. 2. I can't say much about it since I haven't played the original, but again we see the sequel mentality here.

    LucasArts isn't much better, really. Lego Star Wars? Give me a break, really. The second title is only rumor, and as far as the Indiana Jones game... well, there've been previous Indiana Jones games out before this one. So again, no new games here. Just updates to old ones.

    It's starting to sound like a broken record, but there's just no innovation anymore. And why is that? Is it because the games industry has become so weighted down with the old games and so afraid that new ideas won't sell that it just rehashes games over and over? That's what I think, but then again I could be wrong, partially or totally. Who really knows.
