Bethesda:Wolfenstein the New Order

[GasparZizou]

I don't know, that trailer makes it a little more interesting for me, the last game was bad enough to give this one a chance.

Really cool seeing the Robert Doiseneau, Abbey Road et all reimagined but I'm still not convinced about the Robots.

I'll definitely play it though cause it's original and I'm a sucker for WWII. Almost bought the Saboteur too.

Yeah, I would much prefer the occult part of Wolfenstein.

what in the name of **** were these guys thinking?

$$$ from CoD kids, WWII fans, Nazy lovers, etc

I'll definitely play it though cause it's original

 

[GasparZizou]

It's kind of original, I mean, how many times have we seen an "elseworlds/what if" reality when the Nazi won in video games?>

The execution though, doesn't do a good job in keeping me very interested.

Now moved to 2014. Not a surprise.

Collector's Edition available for pre-order (doesn't include the game).

This collector's edition does not include a copy of the game. Keep your pre-order at your favorite retailer and we'll send you these goodies separately—this way we can ship these boxes worldwide and you're not stuck waiting for your game to come along with an oversized, expensively shipped box.

My first reaction was "uhhhh", but that actually makes sense.

It's still not a great sign that every time this thread is bumped, I think, "oh yeah - this thing".

The Saboteur is actually a really awesome game. You should give it a chance, and I'm sure you can find it cheap. I bought it new 2 years ago for $10 so you should have no problem finding it for under $5.

This game is from the guy behind the Riddick and Darkness games, it's not going to be the generic shooter everyone predicts. I'm betting it'll be the sleeper hit of the year. Bummer about the collector's edition, I would've gotten that if the game was included.

 

[Fritz]

Interesting decision they made with the collectors edition. Has any other studio done this?

This was all over a lot of non-specifically gamer sites, like the AV Club, so the surprised reaction seems to indicate no.

 

[GasparZizou]

Gameplay looks fun, but I'm a bit more interested for the DOOM demo

 

[razkazz]

^Don't get too excited, it's a "Doom beta", to be released at a yet unannounced date. I.E., they're selling air basically. My guess is it's being offered less as an incentive to the player and more as a way to light a fire under the husk of id that remains in their employee to finish the thing. Just another crappy business practice to go along with the gameless collector's edition. Zenimax is just awesome.

Could be.

Also, if it's a beta, does that mean it's multiplayer? It's kind of rare to see betas for single players these days.

 

[razkazz]

I guess it must mean multiplayer. If so, I'm glad they're trying to do a decent multiplayer this time, Doom 3's was one of the first multiplayers that felt truly "tacked on".

 

[GasparZizou]

No MP, That's a good call, gameplay is looking fun in an old school way, I'm increasingly excited for this game.

 

[cokebabies]

I didn't play the last Wolf, but it's weird for this to not have MP, when RTCW had some of my favorite MP action ever.

But if it means a stronger SP, I won't object.

Agree, I still play WolfMP like once a year but it's still solid.
