Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Update Dramatically Improves Lighting Effects on Xbox
Bethesda and MachineGames have just released a new update for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that appears to have dramatically improved the lighting effects on Xbox consoles.
In a blog post, MachineGames announced the release of Update 2 for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that among other things includes general gameplay and bug fixes. However, an Xbox-specific fix seems to have added big improvements to how Global Illumination appears in game.
Here are two images MachineGames released highligthing the before and after differences of the udpate.
As you can see from the Before and After pictures, the update appears to have removed some of the washed out look of the pre-patch version. With the update and improvements to Global Illumination, Indiana Jones looks much more natural, with deeper shadows, and more accurate colors.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is one of the best Xbox games to have come in some time, and evokes the feeling of a truly great Indiana Jones movie, while also providing the excellent gameplay MachineGames is known for with games like Wolfenstein. The new update looks to make a great looking game even better.
Here’s a full copy of the Update 2 patch notes below. Be sure to check out IGN’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle review for our full take on the new Xbox game.
