'Emperor's Tomb' box art revealed!

Thursday, November 28, 2002 - Gilles V
 

LucasArts.com has premiered Drew Struzan's Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb box art poster. Drew's latest work is simply WOW!! As you can see here right.
With the premiere of the box art also comes and interview with Drew Struzan in which he explains how it was created! Here's one part of the interview:

LucasArts.com: What artistic choices did you make to ensure this game cover would be compelling?
Drew Struzan: I just included what the game promises. The subject matter is rich and full and all drawn from the game itself. I compose the picture and elements in a strong and classical manner to set the scene with the proper emotional tone; that of secure and powerful, rock steady design. The color composition is warm, as is the trademark of so many of the Indy pieces, making it at that magic hour with the setting sun. Of course the reason I was asked to do the piece in the first place is that my style and taste is recognizable as the authentic Indy representation. With me doing it, it says immediately that this product is the real thing.

'Emperor's Tomb' manual details

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - Gilles V
 

Mixnmojo.com received some information about the instruction manual for Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. LucasArts guy Sam Saliba reported that the Emperor's Tomb team hunted down the biggest Indy fan they could find, who also happened to be an accomplished graphic designer, and set him loose on the manual.

Saliba says the full color book is covered head to toe in Indy, with numerous in-jokes and obscure references throughout for the bored (us) to dig around for. We're holding him to it. Sounds perfect for reading while waiting for it to install, or for your brother to stop hogging the game (the jerk).

GameSpot has new 'Emperor's Tomb' screenshots

Thursday, November 7, 2002 - Gilles V
 

GameSpot.com has posted 18 new Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb screenshots today. The screenshots show Indy fighting some new adversary's, using some new weapons and exploring some amazing looking locations. The quality of the screenshots is a bit less than others but that's probably because these are screenshots taken from the Xbox version and not from the PC game version. Nonetheless, they certainly look amazing!

Hit the link above to view the screenshots. Thanks to QueZTone at The Raven Bar for letting us know.

As you can see, Indy will not only wear his trademark fedora and leather jacket outfit in the course of the game but he will also appear in his 'Dr. Jones' suit and his 'James Bond' like tuxedo. Indy also wears the exact same suit and tuxedo in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which this game is a prequel to.
