Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Troy Baker is one of the most prolific voice actors out there and has been in nearly everything you can think of. From voicing Joel in The Last of Us to Kanji Tatsumi in Persona 4, he has taken up a ton of roles. He's not only a voice actor in games, though, as he also appears in plenty of English dubs of anime, as well as other animated programs. When it came to choosing someone to play Indiana Jones in the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Todd Howard initially rejected the idea of Troy Baker being the […]
I was given the opportunity to travel to London to play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in person, and I had an absolute blast. I went in with zero expectations, as I wasn't sure what kind of game this was shaping up to be. However, when I went, I loved every second of it, and I will definitely be playing it when it is fully released. Axel Torvenius, the Creative Director at MachineGames, introduced the game. He took the time to explain what we would be playing through and made some great jokes along the way. Before long, we […]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a project in which many companies came together to create something special. As we've known for a while, the idea came from Bethesda Game Studios and Elder Scrolls/Fallout/Starfield franchise director Todd Howard, who then selected MachineGames to develop the game. Of course, since the franchise belongs to Lucasfilm, they had to be involved, too. In an interview published on Lucasfilm.com, Lucasfilm Games Executive Producer Craig Derrick praised Howard's concept: For an Indiana Jones adventure to truly shine, it needs a globe-trotting journey with a strong historical element—something grounded in reality yet wrapped in […]
We’ve all got gaps in our gaming history that need to be filled. I certainly haven’t played every game ever, and neither have you. It can be hard to find the time and money to snag and play older and important games, but every now and then there are sa...
NVIDIA had another big Gamescom 2024 announcement to make, although it is a bit staggered due to a later embargo compared to the others: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will join Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, and Black Myth: Wukong in the very restricted club of PC games that support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 and full ray tracing. Also known as path tracing, it was only viable for offline rendering and, therefore, limited to usage in movies and TV series until not long ago. It was only the arrival of upscalers and specifically frame generation techniques that allowed its real-time […]
During a pre-Gamescom 2024 remote briefing event held by Bethesda, we learned more about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle through a remote presentation and subsequent roundtable Q&A with two key developers: Game Director Jerk Gustafsson and Creative Director Axel Torvenius. This time, the developers at MachineGames focused on showing off gameplay: how Indiana interacts with the world around him, how he traverses the environment, and how he deals with the enemy. They also highlighted some of his key tools: the camera and journal. The developers claimed to have made the gameplay experience as interesting and authentic as possible. They […]
Wolfenstein developer MachineGames is known for their solid writing and penchant for diabolical nazi villains, which is probably what got them the gig making Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but they also just know how to make a good shooter. The Wolfenstein games deliver a lot of guns-blazing, gory action, so will their Indiana Jones game be the same? Not necessarily. While being interviewed on the Official Xbox Podcast, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle director Jerk Gustafsson explained the goal is to make a “proper adventure game” that targets a “wider audience” than their previous hardcore shooters. As […]
Earlier this year, Xbox finally gave us a first peek at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the new first-person action-adventure under development at Wolfenstein developer under the watchful eye of producer Todd Howard. That first trailer certainly got tongues wagging, and delivered plenty of the puzzle solving and derring-do the series is known for, but, of course, fans wanted more. Well, today at the Xbox Games Showcase, we got a new Indiana Jones and the Great Circle trailer, which largely focuses on a scene set in the Himalayas. It looks like Great Circle has received a bit of a […]
A stunning Uncharted Unreal Engine 5 imagining has been released, featuring cutscenes, platforming, combat, stealth, and vehicles. Created by Daniel Arriaga, a level designer at MachineGames on the upcoming Indiana Jones game, this fan concept is a solo developer project. In the past, the designer already created a Metal Gear Solid video within Unreal Engine 4, and we now have a rather spectacular recreation of Uncharted within Epic's latest game engine. "Uncharted: For Old Times' Sake - my original adventure in Unreal Engine 5, featuring platforming, stealth, combat, vehicles, and cinematic cutscenes", the level designer writes. Unlike other UE5 concept […]
After a couple sleepy weeks, the gaming hype train of 2024 is finally moving at full steam. We saw the first major showcase of the year with Xbox’s Developer Direct, dug into The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and oogled MachineGames flamin’ hot digita...
Yesterday Microsoft served up their latest Xbox Developer Direct, which offered reveals and information for a number of games, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, but it seems there was actually another game teased during the show – Quake 6. As spotted by eagle-eyed fans, during the Indiana Jones reveal segment, we get a brief glimpse of a whiteboard at developer MachineGames, and wait, what’s that on the left side of the image? “AKE 6?” Now, of course, there are different ways you could interpret that – maybe they were writing down breakfast […]
Yesterday we got the big reveal of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Bethesda and MachineGames didn’t hold back, revealing quite a bit of first-person gameplay and other info about the game’s approach and story. That said, there were a few lingering questions after the presentation, such as, who’s playing Indy and what kind of tech is powering the game? Well, we now have answers on both. Many watching the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle trailer noticed that our protagonist looked like Harrison Ford, but he didn’t quite sound like him. Close, but not quite. Well, that’s because […]
