The happy Collective
»"Similar to LucasArts' collaborations with other premier game studios, The Collective bring considerable
technological and development expertise that, in this case, will greatly benefit one of our most important brands,
Indiana Jones," says LucasArts' President, Simon Jeffery. "The Collective's efforts on the highly anticipated
game Buffy The Vampire Slayer™ were a key component in determining this relationship. The two companies together
will bring new and compelling elements to Indiana Jones that will ensure a deeply engaging and fun game play experience."
"My partners and I have admired LucasArts and their commitment to quality and innovation since the early
8-bit days and we are thrilled at this opportunity to bring Indiana Jones to life on next generation consoles and
PC," says Doug Hare, vice president of production for The Collective.«
