A gameplay trailer as just been released: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/1hujLocUYl8/maxresdefault.jpg "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - Gameplay Reveal Trailer | Xbox Dev Direct 2024") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hujLocUYl8) Not a point & click adventure, looks more like a action FPS. Interesting that it’s 1st person, not 3rd. I would have expected the latter in an action Indy game. ---

It’s interesting that they didn’t choose to change the timbre with AI to have the exact voice of a young Harrison. Nowadays that would have been possible. ---

> [@seguso](#): > > Nowadays that would have been possible. Though is it also ethical? And, more importantly, legal? I did not follow along too closely, but my impression was that the US movie actor strike was exactly to prevent something like this. Of course, I guess they could have struck a deal with Mr. Ford to get permission, but perhaps that would have been costly. And going forward, establishing a new voice actor for the character might be a better choice (from a business perspective) in lieu of the inevitable sequels 🙂. Personally, I would have preferred a more recognizable voice, though. ---

> [@kaiman](#): > > struck a deal with Mr. Ford to get permission, but perhaps that would have been costly. well, they had to do this anyway to use his face … I don’t see an ethical difference between getting a license to use someone’s face and to use someone’s voice ,after all. Also notice you still have to have voice actors, to recite the lines with the correct tone. these tools only change the timber. they need a line with the correct tone. So in theory you only need _one_ voice actor to recite all the lines of all the characters, and then change the timber with AI. But in practice it’s not ideal. You will still get better results with a female voice doing female characters, a male voice doing male characters, and maybe differentiating even more for different accents.

I guess it’s the same reason why you wouldn’t cast a famous actor for some movie sequel, and then replace their face with another actor’s face. The actor wants to actually be in the movie/game, have their own face and/or voice present in the final product. Should they have replaced Alden Ehrenreich’s face & voice in the Han Solo movie with that of young Harrison Ford? Which upcoming actor would agree to that? Feels like sabotaging your own career. “I have a new movie out! What do you mean, you saw it and I’m not in it?” ---

Same. That being said, I’ve rarely spent more than € 45 on a game so I’m trying to decide what I think of that. Shadow Gambit was € 44.99 when I bought it on release for example. ---

Well, if you’re OK with some small glitches and waiting a few minutes in the queue at certain hours, you can try it for one month for €2.99 (the price of Amazon Prime in Belgium, which includes streaming the game on Lua) Alternatively, the experience on Xbox Live was smoother without queuing times, but the price comes in at around the 5 times more (still 1/3rd of the retail price of the game). ---

In the end I bought the edition containing the DLC for 80€, and a game from my wishlist on sale for 10€, averaging 45€ per game 😃. Since I read that the game seems to have issues on Linux with the open source AMD graphics driver, I will hold off playing for the moment, though. A fix is included in Mesa 26, coming out early next year, so not too much of a wait. ---

I decided to get it on GOG. I upgraded my decade-old computer last year, so I have no need to resort to streaming. (Also I believe the streaming options don’t support HDR?) Chances are I’ll play it spread out over many months anyway. ---

I just purchased a new graphics card that might allow me to play the Great Circle on my PC, too. It is not the only game in my queue, nor is it the only reason for this purchase, but I hope to get to play it in the nearer future, finally. 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle/5452.md?page=2)
