Head Of Xbox 'Excited' About New Indiana Jones Game And Can't Wait To 'Learn More'

Sure hope it's exclusive, and comparable to Uncharted.

Would love for Machine Games to develop an enjoyable game series with a kick arse story from Indy 💜

I don't think this is anything to do with exclusivity (I still think unless lucasfilm games agreement was have it on everything) this tweet is just saying he wants to see/hear more.
On what there idea for it will be.
Remember until the deal is finalized they cannot go in and make business decisions

Spider-Man is exclusive to PlayStation and that is also from Disney. Just something to chew on...

@Link41x don't sony own the rights to use spiderman in media other than comics? So unless Microsoft own the rights the Indiana Jones then this isn't the same

This is getting beyond ridiculous.

They just need to close the deal with Bethesda & tell everyone these games are exclusive going forward.

I’m sooooooo tired of these questions & click bait articles. If Sony bought Bethesda (which they could never do in the first place), would there be these questions? Nope.

PlayStation fans just need to to shut up, quit whining, & go play one of their “amazing exclusives” (🙄) for the 5th time to get some platinum trophy.

This game is gonna be epic..

@KelticDevil Sony wouldn't even share Spider-Man on marvels mmo. So yeah give them nothing

@Challenger-UK

My point is.....this would never even be a question if Sony bought Bethesda. But bc Phil is too nice, then people think that Bethesda games are coming to PS5.

I am soook sick of this question. The Ponies need to get over it. And if they don’t, then go piss off.

@KelticDevil I agree man. They’re fine with Sony having all the exclusives and consistently buying timed exclusives to keep them off other platforms but as soon as MS announce something and it may not be on PlayStation they start freaking out. Look at any PS site or forum and you’ll see it.

Some saltiness in this comments section 😂 calm yourself

Would be good for Xbox if this is an exclusive to rival Uncharted. Uncharted is inspired by indy anyway for modern day.

As for this whole Bethesda/Xbox deal, they won’t confirm exclusivity because the deal isn’t official yet. All the t’s and c’s are still being ironed out.

It makes sense for these games in future to go exclusive to attract more of an audience to the brand, whether console, GP service or both.

But its also a case of they don’t necessarily have to. You can still sell these games on Sony platforms and make even more bank whilst still owning them. ‘You can pay £40-60 on PS5, or you can pay for GP and get 100’s of other games too’. Makes no sense to turn down money, no matter how rich Microsoft are.

But ponies be ponies I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

I find it very suspicious that Xbox Twitter accounts have been retweeting and commenting on this announcement, yet the silence from any PlayStation account is deafening.

Initially, I thought this would be multiformat, since the deal has been signed before Microsoft officially own Zenimax, but then I remember when we had Lucasarts licensing out IP back in the day, and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 were Xbox/PC exclusive.
Based on that, I would not be shocked at all if this was an exclusive for the Xbox ecosystem (console, PC, xCloud).
Either that, or PlayStation aren't promoting this announcement because they don't know what will happen to Zenimax games going forward.

@Jacko11
I see your point, but by that logic, MS may as well start releasing all their games on rival platforms to make extra money.
Fact is they don't need to. This is like when you have Nextflix buying up rights to films. They want to invest that money to make sure they attract you to their platform/service.

@blinx01 you hit the nail on the head. MS are building this huge eco system where you can play their games, they don’t really care how or what you play them on as long as you’re signed up to their service. To grow that eco system it makes no sense to sell your games on other platforms, there’d be no point.

The age of Xbox v PlayStation is over, there are no Xbox exclusives anymore in the traditional sense. It’s PlayStation and their closed off system v MS and what they offer on multiple platforms.

I hope it's exclusive to xbox/Pc ecosystem, as it should be, don't see why all the ps fans care anyway seen as they all own high end PCs..... Lol

Superb. I love MachineGames so have very high hopes for this.
As others have said, makes no sense for this to see Sony platforms. I don't get why PS fans are so arsey about exclusives anyway, considering all Xbox games now also come to PC. It's like some people game with Sony only and bemoan anything and everything else.
Rant aside can't wait for this one.

@UltimateOtaku91 Spider-Man is in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, which is a Switch exclusive title.

In all likelihood, Phil knew the game existed but doesn't a ton about it. It doesn't sound like it will be out for 2-3 years anyway, but it's HUGE news, so I expect at LEAST timed exclusivity.

@everynowandben did some digging and I was wrong it Seems, in terms of gaming marvel gave sony the rights to publish an exclusive game of one of its characters and Sony picked spiderman. Whilst in terms of movies sony owns the rights to spiderman.

Basically marvel and Sony made a deal, in return of letting spiderman be in marvels latest films they let sony make an exclusive game of one of its characters

Phil had to know about this game it’s a legal thing that happens when one company acquires another. He’s just excited because knowing something is in the pipeline and actually seeing details are two different things.

@UltimateOtaku91 Sony kind of “Mascots” Spidey. Which is fine because they do have movie rights. But I think it’s an easy to mistake that a lot of people make.

@Fenbops

Exactly.

Should keep it exclusive and PS fanboys who are upset will just have to do what Xbox fans did with Spider-Man, either get over the fact it's exclusive and drop the money for a new piece of plastic to play the game or don't and move on. The 'put this on PlayStation' stuff is beyond annoying now though. Other brands besides PlayStation are allowed to have exclusives.

Exclusive would be nice for the fans.
I don't think a game gets better or worse being exclusive. I like for everyone to enjoy all the games.

But as a huge 80/90 movie fan, this would be HUGE as an exclusive. But I really wonder if Indiana jones as an IP still holds as much power as it used to. & if Disney would allow this license to go exclusive?

(ps. I hope for a story like the old ones. Not like cristal skull or some politically correct adventure. Indi needs his class filled with love-struck girls =P)
