I believe the explanation for the lack of Occult Bullshit in TNO is that BJ killed everyone who was involved in it prior. Every last person. He's very thorough.

I find this wholly believable.

Next dlc should have nazis riding dinosaurs, like that clipping in the London nautical says.

Genetically engineered super intelligent dinosaurs that are also Nazis. Blonde scales and blue eyes! T-Rex with an SS cap and little tiny arm bands! Stegosaurus with SS lightning bolts carved into its back plates! Triceratops with an iron eagle helmet and laser horns!

Best game. :allears:

Don't ever expect it to be. It runs on idTech 4 which, at the time, was fine because id was still independent. As soon as ZeniMax/Bethesda bought them Activision would have to pay to keep using it and Wolfenstein 2009 didn't sell well enough for them to care.

Yeah I'm not really expecting it to be, rented it on 360 back in the day and really enjoyed it and recently bought it on ps3 just because I wanted to replay it, was just curious.

For all the people who liked Wolf09, you should play Singularity if you haven't already. It's by the same developers and it's basically "Wolfenstein: 1950s Soviet Edition" and it rules.

I just finished it, I will also say this. Singularity is the dog's bollocks.

I would also like to see more dinosaurs in a Wolfenstein game. It could be like Dino D-Day but not poo poo.

Edit: vv Haha, I've only watched a couple episodes of that.

I actually like Singularity better than Wolf 09. Two weapon limit was dumb as gently caress but not having the regenerating health was nice and the weapons felt chunkier.

Someone mentioned Danger 5?

Super soldiers are tethered to a power source, which is fuckin' neato. Some of the Nazi zombies actually use weapons like rifles. More info about Da'at Yichud tech. Also the devs learned a song in German then got drunk as skunks by the request of the audio director.

I've finally got a PS4 and played through TNO (Fergus timeline), Christ almighty have I missed a shooter like this. Letting Wyatt go first was actually kind of heart breaking. And IMO this game is a direct sequel to Wolf09 what with Becker talking about the past game how she survived and Strasse talking about the incident as well having survived the blimp exploding. I liked the nightmare level, and just the branching pathways in general. Fully equipped LKW is awesome explodey laser death. I think I need to up the difficulty because I can almost stealth kill most areas. Now going through the Wyatt timeline, kinda wishing he was still dead. But then again I have a soft spot for sarcastic Scots.

Death Incarnate is neat and not hugely difficult, but it does make the final assault on Deathshead's Compound much harder mainly thanks to all the heavy soldiers and such, each one is probably equivalent to a miniboss in every other game. It does make you feel like a total badass when you do finish, though, and it's not even the hardest difficulty :v:

Yeah I'm pretty sure there's no problem buying the disc pc version second hand on eBay.

(It'a not like anyone would still be playing the lacklustre multiplayer anyway, so you'd only be getting it for single player. So CD key shouldn't matter.)

I don't know if this was said but it looks like the old blood is the reboot of RtCW. They keep mentioning the prison break out, they have the cable cars, the tavern, (Maybe we will get to kill the SS Paranormal division again?) and then the whole Helga thing. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a young Caroline and even Hans Grosse.

I'm actually down as long as they do 2 things, explain away the whole drat atrophy thing I bitched about before about before and they include a letter describing falling deaths attributed to ladders like in RtCW. Then it would be complete.

We'd have a perfect reboot.

Head's up: Over at Green Man Gaming, they have a voucher: SAVE22-OVERHO-LIDAYS
It brings the preorder price of Old Blood down to $15.60. Vouchers can't be used along with any playfire credit, so be aware of that.

If you've never used GMG, it's a legit British site, not a key reseller. Living in the US has never presented problems for me, I just use PayPal to buy, but I've heard some credit card companies/banks throw a red flag if they see a non-US site with "Gaming" in the name, thinking it's a gambling thing.

Thanks for this, bought it with the current code (SAVE23-PAYDAY-WEEKND) and ended up getting it for $15.40, vs the $39.95 that it is listed as on steam. Can't wait!

It's the Return of the Return to Castle Wolfenstein. RTCW had already happened for TNO (hence BJ's grumblings about the X-Labs in the sewer stages). I wouldn't see Old Blood as a retcon for RTCW, just another chapter in the storied history of the castle itself in this continuity.

Also it's a video game we should really just relax etc.

Just for chuckles, The Old Blood should have BJ make a passing remark that this is his fourth time in Castle Wolfenstein. Fourth, you say? But he's only visited the castle 3 times - twice in RTCW, and now once more in The Old Blood.
Not so fast, there!.

Turns out Castle Wolfenstein is actually a lot like Dracula's castle and it's a living thing that reappears every now and then in a different configuration and is actually what created the Nazis.
