The guys at Worth Playing got a chance at E3 to look over Lucas Arts' upcoming title, Indiana Jones. Several screenshots are included as well in this breathtaking nextgen title: The dynamic physics and AI blended spectacularly for the cable car chase sequence. For this level, Indy rode on top of a trolley car as it barreled down a hill at top speed. Armored cars slowly pulled up behind and alongside it, with thugs swarming out to make dangerous leaps onto the top of the car. Indy had to survive to the end of the ride by tossing the thugs off the car before they could do the same to him. The thugs had to struggle to keep their balance the same way Indy did, wobbling at the edges of the car and moving forward slowly. If they fell or were thrown off the side, they would try to grab the edge of the car. A thug that successfully got a hold would slowly try to climb back on top of the car, but could be frustrated by Indy's efforts or a really hard bump in the road. Thugs that couldn't save themselves from the fall would exhibit painfully realistic reactions, like trying to break their fall with their arms or twist in the air to protect their head. The camera would zoom in on particularly dramatic falls when Indy wasn't locked in combat with other thugs during a spill. Watching the demo being played gave a powerful impression of how it might feel to play through an interactive version of an Indiana Jones-style chase scene. Read it here. | Source: Worth Playing |
