I saw on their twitter that it's for a "60 FPS next generation experience." I assume the i7 is a recommendation on that front.

Do the Nazis deliberately throw themselves off gantries so they can die screaming as they plummet like in Wolf 2009? This is important

Am I crazy for thinking the gameplay videos are just kind of boring? I like the aesthetic, but the gameplay shown in the twitch stream is the most banal, by-the-numbers cinematic corridor-shooter possible. It looks exactly like Homefront, Syndicate, Ghosts - every bad FPS in recent memory. All the symptoms are here, you have SNEAK UP AND PRESS X TO PERFORM A TAKEDOWN, five minute long cutscenes that you may or may not be able to move around a little bit during, QTEs in spades, uninteresting puppy-killing bad guys, all the works. How is this supposed to worth sixty dollars?

What I played of it in September gave me the exact same impression. The fact that they're talking up multiple paths through the levels though makes me interested. If it really is like Wolfenstein 2009 with lots of side stuff to do it will probably be pretty fun.

I think it looks very slick and better than the likes of Homefront, but I do agree in terms of bang for your buck. I love Wolfenstein but I can't see myself getting this until the price drops heavily.

I have played... none of the games you mentioned above. However, I did play Bioshock: Infinite and that, to me, was a bad FPS. And I think that was literally the last FPS I've played since last year. So to me, this game looks fantastic so far because it actually has some kind of variation in enemy design and AI capabilities. I don't know. It looked more like this game played like Metro to me.

Blander Metro is what the demo level I played was like, it was just a corridor though with nothing really interesting going on. I want to get behind this though because every previous Wolfenstein game has been legit awesome. But this one kind of came out of nowhere and earlier interviews/articles about it made it sound kind of unfocused. But now it seems more solidly like Wolfenstein 2009 so I want to give it a chance. If it means anything, it was running at 60FPS on 360/PS3 demo units (I could see the actual units so it's not like it was in a box hooked to a PC like how Ubisoft does it at these things). So it should at least be really nice looking on the PS4.

Capn Beeb posted:I thought that one was a bit of a disaster? It didn't do all that well financially I think, and was a bit of a critical 'ehhhhh' for some reason, but I really don't understand why. It's a slightly old fashioned game but in a good way. It's very raven software, a drat solid shooter with good guns, neat levels, a cool gimmick, and a bunch of collectables and secrets to find. Raven almost always have things like secret areas and favor the old fashioned level based shooter, and they do it really well. It feels like a game from say, the late 90's/early 00's but with a bunch of improvements from modern FPS design stuck on where it helps, and a nice graphical upgrade. I have no idea why it wasn't a success beyond maybe getting lost in the crowd and not being a straight port of RTCW. Their Quake 4 game also kinda flopped and I don't get that either, that's another game that really bridges the gap between modern squad shooter and oldschool one man badass FPS game. All Raven's games have something like that in them that I like and appreciate so maybe it's just me. If you're interested, Your Evil Twin on the forums did a fine LP of it which is on the archive, and it pretty much completely showcases why it's loving awesome. It has montages of disintegrating nazis set to the war of the worlds musical album. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 02:51 on May 2, 2014 |

Contra Calculus posted:Yeah, I never played Wolfenstein 2009, but what I saw of it looked pretty damned good. Shame it didn't sell much. I loved how diverse the levels were; there was a secret lab, a bunker, a church, a zeppelin, a hospital, all kinds of places. My favorite level was The Farm - it starts out all innocuous with you killing Nazis on a farm, and then you stumble across an elevator that leads to a completely ridiculously huge underground base. Like it's totally insane and I laughed out loud when it happened. My second favorite level is the Officer's House, because right at the entrance is a fire axe - it's entirely possible to kill every single motherfucking Nazi in the entire goddamn level using only the fire axe (and Veil powers) like some kind of super powered axe murderer. In fact, I'd argue that's the only correct way to play that level.  Raven Software's Singularity is great, too. I replayed it last week and it's still a fun ride - it's pretty much "Wolfenstein: 1950s Soviet Russia Edition". Xenomrph fucked around with this message at 05:27 on May 2, 2014 |

Shimrra Jamaane posted:6 years ago. And holy hell was it bad. Wasn't that made by the same folks who did Legendary? They both felt like they were in the same awful engine. And they both had tons of similar glitches where enemies would just float around through you not doing anything and you could just casually walk out of the map whenever. Hour of Victory from Midway is similarly embarrassing. Capn Beeb posted:I thought that one was a bit of a disaster? NO. It is in fact great. 1) Hub city you go to between missions where you explore for hidden Nazi gold, slaughter Nazis 2) Tons of secrets 3) ULTRA Violence 4) Canned death animations (arguably a minus but this is Raven, see #3) 5) Good enemy variety 6) The enemies are Nazis man, I hate Nazis Contra Calculus posted:Just curious, what level did you play? Honestly they didn't say, but it basically felt like a later Quake game. Metal sci-fi corridors and not much else going on. Looking back I'm surprised they even showed it off given how much more ambitious the final game is turning out to be in comparison. The weapons really did feel a bit weak though. Anyways the reason Wolfenstein 2009 flew under the radar is because Activision just wanted it gone. In a dick move Activision laid off the entire team that was to do a greatly expanded multiplayer component for the game on the game's release day despite promising rad multiplayer two or three days earlier. When the publisher dropped all hype for the game it and its lackluster vanilla multiplayer was quickly forgotten. The game was taken off Steam because because Bethesda got the Wolfenstein name and will likely re-release it soon. Various iD/Raven games have gotten similar treatment over the years like Quake IV and the Doom 3 BFG Edition. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 06:52 on May 2, 2014 |

Shimrra Jamaane posted:6 years ago. And holy hell was it bad.  Like they mapped out an alt-history timeline leading to the events of the game (none of which gets really conveyed in the game's plot, really), all of the Nazi guns are actual prototype weapons the Nazis were working on near the close of the war, and even the Nazi uniforms are based on actual proposed uniform designs that the Nazis wanted to roll out had the war continued into 1946 and beyond. They really did their homework. They just forgot to, you know, make a playable game.

Justin Godscock posted:The $100 special edition with no copy of the game almost seems to be like a trial balloon to see if the kinds of people that always buy the special editions of games (no matter how dumb the trinkets or how expensive it is) will buy it and the $60 game separately. Probably They really should be clearer with this but their concept for it isn't terrible (insofar that you don't consider physical special editions terrible, which they are). This lets you buy whichever regular edition of the game you want, however you want. So if you really really want to get the Steam edition of the game (or a digital copy of a console version) and play it at midnight on release day you're not forced into waiting for the slower shipment of the physical goods.

It's also surely a lot cheaper for them to have than doing two or three SKUs per platform per country. There are probably a bunch of minor regional differences they already have to handle for signage/swastikas in different countries and stuff. I too got 15/20 on that Wolfenstein quiz. Good enough to get a driver's license in most states, but not good enough for WOLFENSTEIN. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 19:35 on May 2, 2014 |

I don't know if anyone cares about Twitch/streaming in general but this guy that streams a lot of older FPS games is doing a playthrough of all the Wolfenstein games in the lead up to New Order. He did Wolf3D earlier and it looks like he might be doing Spear of Destiny soon? Or something, I don't really get Twitch. http://www.twitch.tv/doomed_spacemarine Edit: In an amazing turn of events, the Wolfenstein games actually on Steam are on sale today-$2.49 for Return by itself, $1.24 for Wolf3D (Spear of Destiny is not on sale, weirdly, so it's $5). Or $3.74 for all three. Humerus fucked around with this message at 21:03 on May 3, 2014 |

Wolfenstein 2009 was fun as hell and anyone who even remotely likes first person shooters should play it. Pro Tip: don't waste your upgrades on stealth poo poo as it's completely useless. Instead make sure to get Big Bore for the Kar98. That rifle turns into a goddamn cannon that tears people apart. Also grab as many melee weapons as you can because going on a rampage with a fire ax and claiming Nazi arms and heads for your own is hilarious.
