All of those games are first-person, by the way. And another thing, no one knows what exactly the new Indy game will be like, it could be like BioShock Infinite or like Far Cry 4. I mean, there's a reason we have comment section, to discuss news, ain't it? Also, if you think that Uncharted or Tomb Raider are not shooters, you're flat out wrong, they both have a lot of shooting, i'd say 50/50 of shooting and exploration/puzzles. But i think it's counterproductive and kinda cheeky. I can even flip your response, saying that «I shouldn't need to have my reasoning nitpicked and to justify it if that's what i feel confident with».
And i think i've explained why i think that. Saying it's unique was a lie and unnecessary, in my opinion. He could've stopped at 'First-person gameplay is part of MachineGames’ DNA' and would've been fine, no reason to challenge that statement. That doesn't mean anyone have to change anything, by the way. Staticall 1d 1h Director provided a reason and everyone can challenge it or critique it, as long as you explain why you think it's wrong.
