No,Machinegames dont have the pedigree, I have the feeling the game will just follow their fps formula and I dont see the whip being satisfying to use beyond traversal..
Uncharted works because of the quality of the characters writing,Drake,Sully,Elena etc all have fantastic characterisation. Machinegames have never even made a interesting character let alone a good one and they have to write and deliver Indiana Jones? I dont see it.
If they go the Tomb Raider route I expect modern TR, with all the same boring,dark,moody nonsense to go with it,just mowing down hundreds of enemies.
Id like to be surprised and it actually be more like classic TR where the whole map is essentially a puzzle, that makes sense for Indy. But yeah its not really MG’s ballpark.
