It's not about being extremely politically correct at all IMO. I'm not "politically correct" and I don't think things need to be sanitized or bland. But saying games suck because the people making them belong to some group (and that goes for any group) is just plain ol' ridiculous.
Tbh the post itself is whatever but imo a mod shouldn't be making that comment... use an alt to express something like that. You don't want mods to appear biased over something that can be construed as political

THIS! This right here sums up how I view the discourse around Indiana Jones going 1st person as an effective way of standing out among Uncharted and Tomb Raider.

Crazy how the franchise that inspired both Tomb Raider and Uncharted is now apparently gonna be viewed as doppleganger for simply staying true to Itself.

Online fanboy discourse will be the undoing of gaming.

Didn't i say that too? :D
I actually don't think Indiana Jones need to be in 1st person to be unique among Uncharted and Tomb Raider. How Indy fight and his lack of using guns and only his whip is already enough to be unique which is what Slomo is saying in his tweet. Lol.

The IP and concept is original, but the gaming implementation is what's in question.

I didn't read it that way.

I understand you guys want to be an allies but it feels like being offended on behalf of invisible people who are not posting, participating or reading this place 🤷‍♂️

Probably too expensive to get Harrison to do the voiceover (and his voice is too old probably anyway). Would have been cool if they could have computer generated his voice in it.

Harrison Ford voice on the prologue set in the '40 of "IJ and the Dial of Destiny" it's pretty damn uncanny valley, so I think it is better to have a age appropriate actor for the role

Old Indiana Jones would work ten times better in a videogame, they should’ve made him old and have Harrison Ford doing the voice.
