Davide Jaffe, famous creator of the God of War series has recently announced that he wants LucasArts to call him and his studio Eat Sleep Play, saying that he wants to work on an Indiana Jones game, apparently being a big fan. He says he has some great ideas to expand the franchise, though it is doubtful LucasArts will take up the offer.

1UP: I was replaying God of War 1 last weekend, and one thing I had forgotten was how many Indiana Jones similarities there were. So I'm curious, how much of this was you wanting to make an Indiana Jones game -- but obviously in a different setting -- and how much of it was just you wanted to pull in a few inspirations here and there?

DJ: Well, there was, and will always remain until I get to do it, a desire to work with Indiana Jones in the interactive medium. I would still to this day love to do that. But really, I can't express, to the point that it borders on the absurd and potentially disturbing, the importance of Indiana Jones -- and specifically Raiders of the Lost Ark -- to my sort of creative development. So certainly, those movies, and specifically Raiders, are really important to me. And I think there was certainly intentional homage paid -- we knew we were making our own game, our own character, our own setting -- but there was definitely a sort of tip of the hat to Indy and sort of that great movie that Raiders was, absolutely.
