Title: wolfenstein hype
Post by: digi on Tue, 11 March 2014, 20:17:48
Where my old school pc gaming buds at? I'm really looking forward to this, coming in May. Anyone in the Doom Beta?

This might suck though ... if it follows the trends that recent classic revivals and reboots have set.

I dunno, with Bethesda behind the wheel I'd say it has a good chance, I'm stoked for it.

I'm definitely waiting for "our man Blaskowitz" to make a comeback.  It's not a reboot, since it's definitely a sequel to the WWII game, since it takes place in an imaginary 1960. 
One thing though, I don't get how BJ is still so young in 1960, when he was about that same age in 1944, but w/e, I will never get tired of killing Nazi's. (maybe he froze in the ice like Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes?)  Also, it would have been cooler for BJ to come back in 1979, in New York City.  But I don't make the games, I just play them.

I hope this game is much, MUCH better than the last Wolfenstein game, "Wolfenstein". It felt like an awful CoD reskin (iron sights in a Wolfenstein game.. *smh*).

IMO, Return to Castle Wolfenstein was the perfect FPS. The story was great, the game was fun, the gameplay mechanics were great and the competitive multiplayer side was the best (OSP!). It consumed many, many years of my life.

It's just a sad disappointment that The New Order won't have multiplayer.  :-[

The original has a special place in my heart.  Used to carry it around in my backpack in middle school on floppies and play it whenever I got a chance on school computers.

Post by: rowdy on Wed, 12 March 2014, 16:11:05
My father used to play the original - I found it a bit too cartoony after the original Doom came out.  When the first Quake came out I dropped everything else.

I did enjoy Return to Castle Wolfenstein though, replayed that a few times.

I tried Enemy Territory, but never really got into it.

I played the original to death because my system couldn't run Doom  :'(

I also played the ORIGINAL original a lot (Castle Wolfenstein, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Wolfenstein) on an Apple II.

I can hear the music and sound effects in my head right now... datatadaa-tatadaa-tata-daa-daaa

Doom was a decent upgrade, Quake was okay, but the 2 games that really changed things IMHO were Unreal and Half-Life.

This looks very promising. I'd love to see a game which doesn't make excessive use of "cover tactics" or iron sights. Or parkour. Bleh. I wanna run and gun! I've played a ton of FPS games, and nothing yet has quite had the "taste" of the old Quake series, or even of Doom. This looks like it'd be real fun though. ;)

I expect it will look about as good as Rage did as it is also on tech5 engine, with maybe some improvements on PC... well at least I hope they resolved the texture pop in / draw distance issues. So far it looks interesting and I will likely pick it up. Honestly I am more looking forward to a new Doom though.

LOL.  Do you guys remember back in the day, when they used to default the movement keys to the arrow keys?  That was crazy-bad.  We used to have to remap to WASD.  It took like 10 years for WASD to become the default.

Anyway, I need the new Wolfenstein game now.

I think I'm close to beating the game. From a FPS standpoint, it feels just right. However, the novelty began to wear off halfway through the game and it's starting to feel mundane. To be honest, the cutscenes were at times, more enjoyable than the actual gameplay. It feels kind of repetitive. Also, the storyline is kind of hard to believe (hero saving the entire world type thing).

That being said, I do like the alternate reality the game takes place in. It's interesting to read the little news clippings found everywhere.

I'll add more to my experience if anything changes when I finish the game.

I might have to start and finish Watch Dogs first before justifying dropping £40 on another game. But I like that they haven't shoehorned multiplayer in because "that's what everyone's doing nowardays", and just focus on what Bethesda does best, which is awesome singleplayer.

I think perhaps the developers are skimping on the plot these days, because their main audience (younger kids) don't have the patience or perhaps even lack the ability to appreciate a good script.

and it makes sense to continue catering to younger audiences, because it's damn hard to convince an adult to give you money...  but when I was a dumb kid @ a younger age, you can bet I could convince my parents to buy me videogames with an epic amount nagging.

capitalism is usually the management theory in shifting the green around..



but I am talking about one's general perspective when they decide on certain undertakings...

a -kid- would do it for the pleasure, or because it makes him feel a certain way...

a non-kid- may still have -kid- tendencies sure, but they are at capacity to see moves with respect to humanity at large, outside of the individual, and outside of basic motivations.

Quote from: Khan Noonien Cumberbatch
He wanted to exploit my savagery! Intellect alone is useless in a fight, Mr. Spock. You ... you can't even break a rule, how would you be expected to break bone? Marcus used me to design weapons to help him realize his vision of a militarized Starfleet. He sent you to use those weapons, to fire my torpedoes on an unsuspecting planet, and then he purposely crippled your ship in enemy space leading to one inevitable outcome. The Klingons would come searching for whomever was responsible and you would have no chance at escape. Marcus would finally have the war he talked about, the war he always wanted.
