Just got Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, and I'm kinda disheartened at the way it plays..jerky and too fast. My favorite Indy game was the Infernal Machine(abeit it's gameplay was too slow). If you remember in the Infernal Machine, it took him a while to turn, and he ran like he had a serious cramp in his backside, and enemies were tough because he moved so clunkily(that ain't a word ) Well, now it looks like Lucasarts heard the complaints and decided to make Indy climb walls faster, run really fast, and turn on a dime..but, it's a little too fast, at least for me. The game seems to go at a frantic pace when confronting enemies, but then you still have to solve puzzles in the temples..and the whole feel of the game is too fast for this genre. It's turned into an arcade game(thanks to consoles) and has lost it's old contemplative appeal. Have you tried to make Indy swim? He moves like a dolphin on steroids! He's so fast you run into a wall before you have a chance to move the mouse a different direction! This would be a great game if it could just slow down a bit, freaks me out..
the infernal machine would get a little too slow though, remember when you have to change weapons? The method: stop, stand a second, change weapon, shoot, run, stop, stand a while, shoot, put weapon away, crouch, move, you know what I mean. I just wish Lucasarts could have found a happy medium between the two, cuz now I feel the whole Indiana jones game series has been cheapened. I want across between exploration and adventure...cuz Emperor's Tomb sucks for exploration... -my thoughts.
/edit- also the emperor's tomb has a frame lock of 30 fps..which explains why I thought it was jerky..found it out in fraps..

i'm on 4th episode/mission/whatever..china one..
ya the guy is running and climbing pretty fast. but i don't think it's such a big deal. fighting is really good. his heavy breathing after different moves gets annoying pretty fast. game is indeed locked at 30fps which sucks major ass.
biggest thing i don't like in this game is chain/rope jumping, especialy when you have to stop swinging to turn or move up/down.

[FearMeAll]

yeah- fighting is the only part I like...

i figured out how to increase fps
edit "\Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb\GameData\indy\vars.cfg"
you'll see
fps=false
fpsLimit=30
i hope you can figure out what to do there

also changing aiDisabled=false to true will turn off enemy AI

Well Gamespot gave this game a decent review and the gameplay is supposed to nice (not the best mind u). But I am a big Indiana Jones fan and found most of the old games very bad and when a game which has 7.2 in gamespot comes out with "Indiana Jones" on it... i am gonna get it.

Soooooo, is it bad as the Infernal Machine? I gave after I had to become Mr. "Plumber" Mario.

it's not bad at all...I'm happy with it now after I went into the cfg file and increased it from the frame lock...runs really nice and I like it. It's better than the Infernal Machine. But for some wierd reason, I like that old game...I think it's cuz it was the first 3dgame I bought for pc..ran like silk on my 2meg onboard video card..

Hello. can u plz help me here. what software u r using to open the cfg file. I also want to increase the frame rate.

[+McCordRm]

Notepad.

And wtf...this is like the Jesus of Resurrections.

[Intrinsica]

Well at least it is relevant to the conversation, I guess. Even if that conversation is nine (nine!) years old.

And yeah, you would edit the file via Notepad. Right-click on the .cfg file, "open with..." and select Notepad.
