Indiana Jones & Diversity: Great Success Incoming!

[Pomni]

I just wanted to say how HYPED I am for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle! Coming fresh off the adrenaline rush of Dial of Destiny, it’s incredible to see this franchise not only staying alive but also evolving for modern audiences.

From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like this game will be a smashing success — and not just because it’s Indiana Jones. The involvement of Sweet Baby Inc. is a HUGE win. If you don’t know, they’re industry leaders when it comes to crafting meaningful stories and ensuring a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Their work guarantees that this game won’t just rehash tired tropes but will actually give us something fresh and relevant, while still honoring the heart of the Indy we all love.

Honestly, it’s so refreshing to see the gaming industry stepping up to include a wider range of perspectives in these big projects. Indiana Jones has always been about uncovering the stories of the past, so it makes sense for this new chapter to explore all kinds of untold stories and feature a broader, more inclusive cast of characters. Representation matters, and games like this are helping to lead the way.

Can we just take a moment to applaud this move? Sweet Baby Inc. being on board ensures this game is going to have that perfect blend of modern storytelling and nostalgia. I truly believe this is the way forward for the franchise and for gaming in general. If they nail this (and it’s looking like they will), The Great Circle could end up being one of the game of the year.

What are your thoughts? Who else is hyped for this modern Indiana Jones adventure? Let’s get the discussion rolling!

Woke Indiana Jones movies -> woke Indiana Jones games -> modern audience.

@Pomni
you are a master at sarcasm lol.

this is the kind of post that will be accepted, it's got that lovely toxic positivity that SBI suffers from lol.

that is a great Troll post, and it lets everyone know how messed up this title will be when it comes out, there is a reason why they are hiding the actual DEI stuff from the onlookers, it's because they know damn well that stuff isn't popular, but i suppose we shall see when it finally comes out.

Worse flop than Veilguard for sure

Let me just break things down:
- Sweet Baby Inc is not involved. The "source" for that leak was IMDB and IMDB is user curated meaning that, so long as you have an account, you can edit it to add any piece of info you want. IMDB isn't a good source and it being removed was because there was no founding to that rumor outside of people wanting to spread misinformation.
- The "modern audiences" thing was misconstrued. It's not "Modern Audiences" in the sense of representation its more "Modern Audiences" in a mechanical sense* since the last Indiana Jones was a decade and a half ago for PS2 and WII. Staff of Kings (the last Indy game) is 15 years old! Look at how much ♥♥♥♥ has changed mechanically in games over the last 15 years. Because of that the "Modern Audience" guy was talking about how the game was being made to be more immersive to modern audiences who played more ""Realistic"" and cinematic games. "Modern Audience" in the context of the source is about how 15 years have passed, games have become more realistic and cinematic, and companies JUST NOW are catching up to the power that Kojima and Gabe were doing in the 2000s.

* Source is the 2024 Xbox Developer Direct at around 38:41

Very glad that they are under the Xbox Games Studios banner and umbrela, as they are partnered with Sweet Baby Inc! This guarantees a quality product and a wonderfully diverse adventure befitting the Indiana Jones legacy.

Injecting far left ideology into a subject matter in this case a video game.

[Tanoomba]

We have no reason to believe any "ideology" has been "injected" into this video game.

I agree. Just answering the question. I have my concerns with the "narrative director" though.

Sane and rational people who aren't TDS suffering loons have plenty of evidence.
