New Wolfenstein "Not a WW2 Game"

[Devilpapaya]

But the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade happen before WW2....Of course it aint going to be a WW2 movie cause its not set during WW2...

(I think...)

Correct, they were set before the war, in the 30's.

Yeah I was right! Ah so suck on that Indiana Jones and Wolfenstein comparison!!

Even so, I don't think we should be so quick to dismiss the game. I've played the first two, and they don't really feel like WW2 games. I think they just use Nazis because
they're a great thing to shoot at without causing anyone to be offended. By the same rule you can make them into secret devil worshipers tapping into the power of the undead, etc. without anyone so much as coughing. Your character isn't a gung-ho American impaling each Nazi corpse with a miniature American flag (in fact, I don't believe he's ever given a nationality that I can remember.

Not saying anything bad about Wolfenstein. But I think that the series has passed its time. Lets hope that this new Wolfenstein doesnt go the way Doom 3 went.

Oh god, don't jinx it.

Looks like a fresh idea! I'm looking forward to it!

Of course this "fresh" idea is a sequel to a game that is pretty much the first FPS ever, and the plot is similar. However, although the idea is old, it is certainly a refreshing reprieve from the recent glut of "realistic" games.

It has to include some form of Biologically Enhanced Super Fuhrer or else it's not worth buying

I hope this goes over the top in millions of brilliant ways.

I never assumed Wolfenstein would be a WWII shooter - what with the genetic experiments and all...

So it's going to be a WW2 game with Mecha and the supernatural.

Like every other Wolfenstein game?

Not that I'm complaining.

[blockquote]"When we started development of the game we asked ourselves, 'What if?' What if the Nazis had access to an unlimited power source? What if the Nazis could create beam weapons? What if the Nazis could create suits of powered armour? It was pretty cool to imagine the possibilities and see them come to life in Wolfenstein."[/blockquote]

So it isn't a WW2 shooter, it is a shooter about generic power-armoured supersoldiers using lasers to chop/splice/dice an unquestionably evil enemy, who desires the destruction of Earth...

I thought we were going to see a revelation of Wolfenstein: Modern Warfare for a moment there.

I've been playing Return to Wolfenstein recently on the PC, and its a great game. I played it briefly when it first came out, but I was 11 so once the spooky underground levels began with those zombie creatures I got a bit too freaked out and stopped playing ;]

I'm nearing the end and really enjoying it, but I have to say, i'm not very impressed with what i've seen so far of this new installment. It just looks a bit dark, dull and nothing special.

Man, you and me both. Those underground levels are creepy.
