I'd rather just see the movie.

Damian		2006-04-24 10:36:55 AM

If this is for real and comes to fruition, farkING AWESOME.

IdBeCrazyIf		2006-04-24 11:01:26 AM

That plus the dedicated physics cards on the horizon mean some rather interesting interactive entertainment in the future.

Now see Donovan's face melt rendered in real time>

Was Indiana Jones a Shadow Priest in PvP?

HappyMagenta		2006-04-24 11:43:41 AM

I'd rather see it applied to Tomb Raider, ifyaknowwhatimean.

Raiden333		2006-04-24 11:43:41 AM

Just watch Silent Hill.

Phanatic1a		2006-04-24 11:44:31 AM

Who the hell is Donovan? The folks who had their faces melted were Belloq, Toht, and Colonel Dietrich.

LegacyDL		2006-04-24 11:46:40 AM

SNAKES IN THE ARK!!!

jruppert		2006-04-24 11:47:17 AM

Donovan aged until he turned to dust, he didnt melt.

gbejrlsu		2006-04-24 11:47:45 AM

Who the hell is Donovan?

Donovan is the nazi guy who drinks from the wrong grail at the end of Last Crusade.

He chose poorly...

JerseyTim		2006-04-24 11:49:34 AM

Maybe they can apply this technology to the next movie to make 70-year-old Harrison Ford move realistically.

danneedsage		2006-04-24 11:52:18 AM

does this mean we can finnaly get a REALISTIC rape game?

.... i mean uhh...it is a game right?

/anyone?

Adan		2006-04-24 11:52:34 AM

gbejrlsu, Phanatic1a, jruppert

submitter chose poorly.

Tallgordon		2006-04-24 11:54:01 AM

That physics sounds really cool. I hope the gameplay isn't too passive.

It's about time video game characters got to interact with everything on the screen.

danneedsage		2006-04-24 11:54:12 AM

face melting is KEY for pvp shadow priests...much like the movie

Jaffiss		2006-04-24 11:54:47 AM

Didn't the Half-Life 2 engine do most of this?

/Don't know.
//Looked that way.

N. S. Radieaux		2006-04-24 11:57:09 AM

Doubt it'll stack up to

Nur-ab-Sal is a mighty god, and his eyes see through.

Adan		2006-04-24 11:58:16 AM

Jaffiss HL2 was rag doll heavy, and physics were more of a object thing.

Went and RTFA, this should be real cool.

//Pines for PPU

That wailing sound you hear is the collective despair of every stuntman and stuntwoman in the world.

Spanky McLapdance		2006-04-24 12:00:10 PM

Check out the Crysis demo available in various places, pretty damn awesome and that should be available comparatively soon.

a_mighty_wind		2006-04-24 12:03:19 PM

Julian Glover played Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where his face *sort of* melted:

home.comcast.net

He also played General Veers in The Empire Strikes Back

home.comcast.net

The headline made me think of Toht too.

Indy: "See through what?"

Voramyr		2006-04-24 12:06:22 PM

Fate of Atlantis was pretty awful for an Indiana Jones game. They characterized Indiana as a goofball who blunders around and gets lucky most of the time instead of the hard, badass he really is.

The adventure game they made before Fate of Atlantis was FAR superior.

pjbreeze		2006-04-24 12:09:24 PM

Natural motion kicked some arse with that, and it's just going to get better.

Jack31081		2006-04-24 12:15:05 PM

Doesn't Indy have experience with snakes on a plane? I believe so.

Daryl Elite		2006-04-24 12:15:25 PM

I think it's about time to upgrade to those 2 GBs of RAM. I hope this is for PC... tsk tsk if it's only console

N. S. Radieaux		2006-04-24 12:17:32 PM

sladerlmc77: See through what?

It's just a chant!

yep. submitter chose poorly.

LousyBum		2006-04-24 12:18:29 PM

fark Indiana Jones,
We want RAG-DOLL MADDEN!!1!1!

haplo53		2006-04-24 12:19:41 PM

Adan

damn, you beat me to it.

JackassBlack		2006-04-24 12:22:48 PM

Sounds like cool technology, hopefully Lucasarts will sell/license it to other (better) game developers since they haven't made a decent console game since ... um ... ever?

PeeWeePangolin		2006-04-24 12:25:24 PM

The best Indiana Jones flick of all time!

plummet		2006-04-24 12:26:46 PM

Call me a fogey, I still prefer kickin' it old skool.

a_mighty_wind		2006-04-24 12:30:47 PM

dallylamma		2006-04-24 12:33:13 PM

Mola Ram?

GaidinBDJ		2006-04-24 12:35:06 PM

Holy crap. Definately look at the videos.

Andrew Wiggin		2006-04-24 12:49:51 PM

No matter what I did, I couldn't get Indy all the way up to the top at the end game.

*mah heart!*

Raiden333 [TotalFark]

Just watch Silent Hill.

That was awesome!
The little girl dancing part was better though!

spaz		2006-04-24 12:57:45 PM

Lucasart did not develop it, they're licensing it from a middleware company, NaturalMotion

Nur-huh-what?

Paddy		2006-04-24 01:18:34 PM

Meet Donovan...

SilverSpike		2006-04-24 01:23:24 PM

To bad Lucas Arts is involved. They will find a way to turn it into a bad game with zero support from the company.

/Still waiting for a decent Star Was Battlefront patch

ChadM89		2006-04-24 01:25:25 PM

I saw Silent Hill yesterday.

I kinda chuckled when the little girl danced in the blood.

I also liked the part where the scary dude with the huge sword just grabbed that chick and ripped her apart. That was brutal.

Mr. Fuzzypaws		2006-04-24 01:25:29 PM

GaidinBDJ: Holy crap. Definately look at the videos.

Agreed. They are very impressive.

If this works out there is no reason every game shouldn't use it, sports games especially.
