Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Wolfenstein is back

World Premiere is Wolfenstein (360, PS3, PC)

* Pub: Activision, Dev: Raven Software/ID Software
* Takes place in WWII against Nazi's fully dabbling in the occult
* BJ (the hero) will also make use of supernatural powers.
* Game gives you a city in which the game takes place. Missions and quests take you through different parts. As you complete quests, more of the city opens up. Kind of a non-linear path.
* Set piece and randomly generated activity block your path.
* There is an AI resistance force that will assist you during the game at times. Think of the resistance forces in MGS4 I guess?
* You will also enter "The Shroud", an alternate reality version of the city. A dimension in which the Nazi's are drawing power from.

Screens wise, it looks like a very nice looking game. I'm particularly impressed by the lighting in the game. It looks very good. I'm sure scans will show up somewhere soon for everyone to see (now, that's not a hint that I'm scanning it. I'm not).
Time to kill some more Nazis.

    Cautiously optimistic.

    Don't buy it until they announce it themselves. That reads like a list of bad ideas you shouldn't use in a game. Not that I'd put it past Id...

    BJ will make use of supernatural powers? Not entirely keen on that. Chaingun? Yes. Treasure gathering? Yes. MEIN LEBEN?! Yes. Supernatural powers?

    Supernatural powers?

    Chaingun? Yes. Also, please to be fighting the Hitler again.

    I wonder how they are going to butcher whatever plot this game has so they can sell it in Deutschland.

    Seriously though, how do you make a nonlinear wolfenstein game? There's a very clear story structure: Fighting Nazis -> Foreshadowing -> Fighting Demons -> Beat Demons -> Beat Nazis.

    The last two are interchangeable, but that's about it.

    The thread is just someone summarizing gameinformer. They do get a lot of exclusives, so I'm inclined to believe that it's relatively trustworthy.

    EDIT: anyway, they're supposed to show it at e3, so we only have to wait a few days to get confirmation

    In Bioshock special powers kind of made sense, and you're a bit reluctant to stick that big ol' needle in your arm, but you are completely alone and you have to size up to the competition. I'd rather use guns to kill Nazis and demons and Nazi demons.

    The last man to make light of that is being kicked in this photo by one BJ Blazkowicz

    HeXen.

    Also, what the hell are you talking about? Star Trek Elite Force? Jedi Outcast? Soldier of Fortune? X-Men Legends? Marvel Ultimate Alliance?

    Seriously, post fails.


    Also, I guess I'm the only one allowed to be somewhat excited about this. Shooting Nazis can only be made better by shooting Nazis infused with occult boogie-boogies, and the suggestions of non-linearity sound kinda cool.

    Screenshots from the magazine also have flying aliens. That most definitely do not look like nazis. They're like giant head things.

    We all knew it was coming, but I'm still happy it was sooner rather than later.

    Also Raven Software aren't that bad.

    Whatever one can say about RtCW, it led to Enemy Territory for free. No matter what mutant game elements it throws into the next installment, I cut the series extra slack for that alone.

    Not to say I wouldn't mind the campaign shedding instant-fail stealth sequences, for one, but with Wolfenstein I'm willing to roll with it and see what happens for now.
