And once again, Bitter Warren Spector SMASH!
Seriously whats with bashing a game based on a minimal teaser.
I saw (possibly) time traveling Nazis with robots, mixed in with Vietnam war era music.
For all we know the next wolfenstein is really the next timesplitters.
Yes I know that sounds dumb, but what if...

Wow I hate it when some twat gets all high and mighty seemingly mistaking his opinions for facts, that's all Warren did here. My respect for the man has gone down a peg or two, regardless of his occasional valid remarks, it was stated in such a snobby way that I just can't agree. In my opinion Warren is a bit of a stuck-up douche and he's lost a bit of my respect.
I'm also admittedly upset about the pointless jab at comic books, really Warren?! You're gonna sit there and tell me you didn't like The Avengers? I guess we can change your full title to "Stuck-up LYING douche".

I have never seen a post WWII shoot the Nazi giant robots game and the trailer looks pretty nice for a trailer. Guess this is going on my wishlist aswell.
Besides, when was the last time there was a game where the Nazi's WON WWII? I certainly haven't seen that before, could become at least a bit interesting story-wise.

That... does not sound like a good story.
If they had won, my people would be dead or slaves (or worse). I will give the story ONE chance, because (if done right) it could, theoretically, be good. Even with Bethesda, I give it a 15% chance at being good. (still, without Bethesda, I would have given 0%. So points on that.)

Oh please internet news guru enlighten us on how everyone is shit at their jobs.BrotherRool said:
Everyone else has reported the same thing, if Susan thought he was shit he'd be gone but guess what he's not.
You are actively trying to stir trouble or just hope maybe one of them will rebuke you cos then your opinion is important
Frankly I've got no idea why he hasn't been sacked. It's not like this is my opinion, I didn't even read this news article when I was trawling the escapist because I know Andy Chalk is shit at his job. I was following someone else's link through twitter.marcooos said:
It's not like this is his first offence, I knew it was him just from hearing someone complain about bad reporting on the Escapist, the other dude on twitter knew it was him for that alone. The first time I read an article that had no factual resemblance to the article it linked to, I said 'hey this article is inaccurate' and then I got half a dozen replies telling me that duh, it#s written by this guy. An editor actually came along and rewrote the title of the article without Andy's permission (which I know because he was bitching about the people complaining the news was wrong on twitter and moaned about someone correcting his title).
I guess he brings in views, because this is Fox news journalism but if you ever think an article sounds sensationalist and then you read the link and find out it's just incorrect, take a look at the author title and it'll be this guy
Like I know that I have read a lot of articles now written by Andy Chalk that were factually incorrect and other people were complaining about it too. You can argue that he's not crud at his job, but watch out for it in the future and I can practically guarantee that if it's bad article on the Escapist, it was written by him
EDIT: I'm being too harsh, he's really prolific and writes a ton of good articles

It's just I wish he wouldn't write the bad ones as well, he just needs to tone down a bit and double check the facts sometimes
EDIT EDIT: And some really good articles, finding some truth in an absurd Reuters article that tried linking EA not paying for gun licenses with videogame violence

I don't know. Sometime he writes articles where it doesn't even look like he's read the thing. It talks about sales in the US over the course of one month and he writes a news article about total sales in the consoles lifetime globally, or an article like this which way way way overstates it's case and emphasises everything to absurdity. And then other times it's the reuters thing
Or Mr Spector, you could just...y'know, ignore the generic reboot of Wolfenstein (this is what, attempt #3?) and accept the fact that the AAA market is very narrow in its preferences. Let them have their power fantasies.
We're turning into Mutants from the X-Men?plainlake said:
I'm saddened by the news of a new Wolfenstein game. Not because of the reasons Spector listed, but because I'm afraid that it will suffer the same fate as Duke Nukem and Doom. The games are legendary but they are relics that should be appreciated behind glass cages, not bastardized into a shell of their former selves. People feel the same way about a lot of the stuff Nintendo does. People are wary of the new Sonic game.
