Alright, not quite that bad. I'm not giddy with excitement for the new game like I have gotten with others (LAST OF US!!!!) but after reading "Game Informers" cover story where they talk about the lady Nazi "Interrogating" you, I have been intrigued (Note: This was quite a while ago). It's got some great potential based on that but I have not seen any game-play or...well...anything else besides that.
So I am cautiously optimistic right now. That state could rise to "stupid excited" or plummet to "Not again" pending other information I run into.

Yeah same. That game was pretty damn awesome.delta4062 said:
I'm always up for more shooters that just go crazy with the weapons and enemies.
I was hyped from the get-go because I loved Return to Castle Wolfenstein and the 2009 remake; that hype was only increased when I read that not only was Bethesda working on it, they had the writers from the first Darkness game, which was a surprise hit for me when I picked it up a few years ago. Plus it has German gas-masks and uber-mecha, and I'm always down with that!
Not overly high, but that is because I didn't enjoy the 2009 version nor did I enjoy Inglourious Basterds, and people who have been playing their demo say that is the direction they are going for.
Who knows maybe they are wrong and this will be something really cool.

Is Bethesda actually developing it? Or are they just publishing?
Be interesting to see what Bethesda does with a straight FPS, rather than a first person RPG.

SO MUCH NAZI BLOOD! How is that bad? I hope the story is cool it sounds kinda cool but still I want to get into the Nazi killing business again.
You mean the quintessential Vietnam War song is being used in a game about Nazis? Yes, you need say more.Cloned31 said:
OT: I played a bit of Castle Wolfenstein and I've played Wolfenstein 3D. Both great games. I did play Return to Castle Wolfenstein and I don't recall liking it very much. I haven't played Wolfenstein '09 (and don't plan to). But looking at some of gameplay for the new one it looks pretty cool. I won't be rushing out to buy it day one but I'll probably pick it up when the price drops.
But Bethesda aren't making it. People need to stop claiming Bethesda Game Studios ever makes a game that isn't an Elder Scrolls game, or Fallout 3.
Since I've seen nothing but improvements on every Wolfenstein release, I can't see MachineGames (The Developers, Nott Bethesda) fucking it up. Not to mention the last trailer looked...well, good.
And again, because people can't use Google, and seem to know sweet fuck all about the difference between Bethesda Softworks, and Bethesda Game Studios, it's being made by MachineGames. Who are owned by Zenimax, who owns Bethesda Softworks, who owns Bethesda Game Studios. And Bethesda Softworks, the publishing side of Bethesda, are publishing the game.
Christ, I thought people got this through their fuckin' skulls during the whole Rage/id/bethesda bollocks.

I do but I know it would be silly for me to try and voice my optimism and enthusiasm here as it would surely be drowned out and buried by cynicism and an overabundance of apathetic post that pretty much amount to a well explained paragraph of meh.
Raises hand - Yes, i can say i have. It looks promising and fresh compared to the usual COD and BF updates plus it features Nazis - after the heavy use of russians and chinese enemies i can certainly say i miss killing those guys.
Directly from Wikipedia:
I already like the imagination and humour that separates its trailers from those of many FPS games.
I hope this clears up any confusion. This is the first game by the new studio, which was established in 2009 by the former founders of Starbreeze Studios [http://www.starbreeze.com/].

Best case scenario: It's like NecroVisioN
Worst case scenario: It's like NecroVisioN
Seriously, I don't hold any high hopes for it being anything other than a generic gonzo shooter, and everything 'cool' I've seen in the videos amounted to set pieces happening. Woo?
edit: Also calling it now, stupid time-travel shenanigans that YOU AND ONLY YOU can reverse.
