    As much as I enjoyed The New Order, I wonder if a sequel could top that game's weird but effective blend of over-the-top Tarantinoisms and introspective melancholy. Better to continue with a different main character IMO and perhaps make BJ an NPC.

    Maybe a future sequel has B.J.'s kid in the starring role? Because B.J. and Anya seemed to be going at it pretty vigorously and often, even though I doubt there was a whole lot in the way of prophylactics.

    Regardless, there's definitely room for a sequel. Like, the head has definitely been cut off the Nazi military, but that doesn't save the planet.
    I believe Anya is, like, sterile or something after the shit "her cousin" went through aborting her Nazi fetus

    I could be misremembering ofc

    Sequel needs to show the US under Nazi occupation. We didn't get any of that in TNO, and if Amazon's The Man In The High Castle adaption picks up popularity it would be happening at the right time.

    Very true. A chemical-based abortion could wreak havoc on her system, so she may not even be capable of having kids. But I don't think that was confirmed either way, just that it was painful and the fetus was aborted.

    Please. I want to take a tour of neo-40s America while killing Nazis. I want to blow up Mount Nazimore, I want to kill nazis at the Grand Canyon, I want to raid the Nazi human experimentation lab at Alcatraz, I want to see the nuclear rubble that was New York City, I want to finish the game by sparta kicking Hitler off of the Hoover Dam and watching him plummet 700 feet to his death.

    No, no, no, you're doing it wrong. You don't want 40s America occupied by Nazis. 80s America would be so much better.

    You could just re-release Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and replace the enemy soldiers with Nazis and get something similar.

    And of course, the weather balloon incident at Roswell happened in 1947, so Area 51 could be another viable "Get your ass to space" mission like we got in TNO.

    Anyone excited for the extremely likely reveal of the sequel this weekend? A release date of 10/27/17 got outed by Amazon.de so it seems like a guarantee at this point.

    Edit: The link is dead, but there are screenshots of the Amazon listing out there.

    We doesn't just punch Nazis. We stab, crush, ventilate, choke, vaporize, immolate and explode Nazis, just as God intended.

    Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a fuckin' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac, and they need to be dee-stroyed.

    Glad it looks like they're not shying away from the stuff they referenced in the first one wrt to racism
    in America.

    Based on the trailer at least.

    This was crazy to wake up to. It's weird how relevant a game about killing Nazis has become in 2017, and I really wonder how MachineGames feels about that. I hope some good interviews with them come out of E3. I mean the KKK as Nazi collaborators? God damn.

    You're right. I just wasn't expecting them to go that hard in the paint, but I'm very glad they did.

    Wyatt and Fergus are the only two that actually died that show up here. I'm assuming it's just a choice like it was in TNO, otherwise that's just weird.

    Yeah looks like I was remembering wrong.

    One thing I like about the game is how it's pissing off Nazis. (Bonus hilarious tweet. Apparently the game series that has been about killing Nazis since 1981 is fulfilling its "diversity quota" by making Nazis the bad guys.)

    I thought Max Haas died? He saw his dad get killed, he freaked out, he went down? Maybe he just got caught.

    I did like that they've apparently listened to the people who played the first game and said 'No, don't give the Iron Man suit to her, give it to me.'
    I mean sure it's great that she gets to walk again, but when you're sending one man to fight an actual army of Nazis, give him the goddamn Iron Man suit.

    I checked and:
    Like you, I thought he did, but Max doesn't die. He gets shot a bunch but later you see him alive and he's still alive by the end of the game. He takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!

    i think the 'diversity quota' bit is about the inclusion of a single black woman in the game.

    As soon as she showed up twitch chat turned into "omg sjw circlejerk" so I guess the existence of black people is just virtue signaling sjw leftist propaganda.

    KKK were anti nazi because they were anti-Catholic, which many Austrian nazis and Hitler were or at least brought up in until they started killing Polish clergy for smuggling out something like 800,000 jews and clearly had a problem with the pope who really didn't like them back.

    Edit: then again, now remembering the lore, apparently a state sponsored Lutheran Church is the only legal one in the Nazi controlled world now.

    Looks like they're going Man in the High Castle route by showing just how well fascism can meld with some of the more distasteful aspects of American history/culture. I have a feeling this game is going to really piss off certain people.
