This looks just stupid, why would you ever introduce serious story elements and character arcs in Wolfenstein? RtCW wasn't the best entry in the series because of its intelligent and insightful narrative. Those cutscenes make it look more like Killzone than anything else.
Oh well, at least the gameplay seems decent, hopefully the narrative won't be nearly as prominent as the trailer makes it look like.
The thing with RTCW is that it had a unique atmosphere and feeling.
Its story was influenced by real conspiracy theories,and it had that dark vibe with Nazis doing satanic rituals,and the whole presentation was like that of a 'serious' thriller / horror movie,with nazis.
Instead the direction Raven took for the 2009 game of the series,and the direction this trailer seems to point at,is what you would expect from a Marvel Superhero comic book.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein was more like F.E.A.R. with nazis than Duke Nukem with Nazis.
This game is more like "you are the cool badass protagonist with superpowers/that was frozen in carbonite,that is going to beat the evil guys because they are evil".
RTCW was like "you are a simple covert ops soldier that is captured by the enemy and you find out they bring satanic spirits on Earth as you try to get away"
Oh and in another note: That awkward moment when the open beta of a game is announced before the game itself.
