So, it would be a very different vibe to Indy. Get Carter is very cool British crime thriller made in 70s. It's a tale of retribution, where a London gangster travels home to Newcastle, to avenge his brother who died in mysterious circumstances.
So many actors can do high-quality imitations of Michael Caine these days, so finding a decent mocap actor shouldn't be difficult. I feel like Caine is the type of guy who could be easily convinced if he were to see footage of The Great Circle (TGC). The guy has been breaking the mould his whole career.
1970s Newcastle would be such an incredible setting for a game, especially in crime underbelly areas. Just walking around it would be so immersive. Sort of like RDR2, where you could hopefully interact with so many random characters and take in the oldy worldy feel of the city, which would be suitably gritty.
The game play would be a mix of stealth, high octane action with the shoot outs, car chases, and on foot chases - just like in the movie. You'd also doggedly be looking for clues to solve Carter's brother's murder (with hopefully a few divergences and side missions with new story - perhaps based on the unused stuff from the books).
(My only issue with TGC is that the gameplay just wasn't varied enough - I really do wish there were a few moments where Indy was forced not to use stealth)
Using all the 1970s era weapons, especially Carter's famous shotgun, would be really cool too.
I just feel like it has some untapped potential and it would be amazing.
