There's another interview with Giant Bomb, which is worth watching if only because poor Jens is very tired, very drunk and just wants to vape in a nice quiet corner.

One interesting thing mentioned is that the Big Choice this time around has more of a gameplay effect than it did last time around by changing your "signature weapon" - one path gets your old friend the Lazerkraftwerk, the other gets a different toy, the Dieselkraftwerk.

I'll be honest here, I'd have more fun killing Klansfucks when they're sniveling on the floor going "I'm not German, please don't kill me" or "we were just removing the garbage of America until a great white savior like you came". I also hope they have special death animations for being burned while also under their dumb robes.

It is encouraged to take a stand against Nazis and racists.

If they can't think up something along the lines of a Southern Mein Leiben as I gun them down in cold blood, is it even Wolfenstein anymore? I mean, there should at least be a new Buebi from Louisiana or something.

Wolfenstein definitely holds a special place in my heart, since RTCW was the first FPS I really played on my own computer. I did a big RTCW->2009->TOB->TNO run when I bought the latter two and they're all great shooters in their own way.

I'm guessing BJ gets decapitated sometime during the game, since there are plenty of scenes without the seam. Maybe in this scene, which you can see part of in the trailer:



I'm pretty sure the thing on his neck is part of his comms unit and that it was in TNO.

There are so many places you could have cool stuff in Wolfenstein. East Asia could be interesting, the Middle East, South America... Blazcowicz of Arabia could be a fun take.

Central/South Africa would be :krad: since they're still actively resisting and loving up Nazis on the regular. That's what the whole gibraltar bridge was built for was ferrying supplies to the African Front that still hadn't been resolved.

That would be the only Wolfenstein where I absolutely wouldn't mind not playing as BJ. Make a totally original African War Hero, even if it ironically turns out to be Nelson Mandela.

I wonder if "Elite Hans" in the toy commercial refers to an actual character in the game. At first I thought it was just a callback to Hans Grosse from the original/2009, but the figure happens to have a prosthetic limb, and Frau could use a new Bubi...

Jager from The Old Blood was a lot of fun, so I'd be totally down for another take on the Evil Nazi Musclehead for BJ to butt heads with.

Yeah, something like that, but entirely from Africans and Afrikaans perspective. BJ can still be there and be like that character, but I'd love if they liberated themselves from Nazi oppression.

Technically, if the final economic and political grip of said Nazi regime is its stranglehold in Africa, they sort of will anyway! But save that for the next game/side game.

Elite Hans is a riff on GI Joe, it's the name of the toy line.

I hope they actually work some of the Nazi TV into the game. You can't make a character like Blitzmensch and NOT have BJ give some running commentary on it. I'm not sure I want to know what the "...or Else!" is, though. :scared:

There were a couple news articles in TNO about the not-Beatles so we'll probably have something similar here. I certainly hope at least that BJ gets to see the Terror Billy action figure, it would be a huge missed opportunity if not.

In other news, there's a lengthy article about the first level of The New Colossus, don't click if you abhor spoilers for the first 20 minutes of a game: http://www.gameinformer.com/games/w...ody-sequel.aspx

I think it is possible to have a murder boner towards Nazis without talking about the literal boners regarding violence they want to inflict, hth.

Really it's just kind of irritating seeing all news by the game drowned out by floods of people running in to talk about how they're going to hand it those :smug: Trump Voters :smug: for the seventeenth time. Dead horses, etc.

Ever been chased out of a creepy southern hick town by actual uniformed klansman? Without a doubt the most terrifying experience of my life. Forgive me if I like to achieve some form of catharsis as I helplessly watch while people who share those ideals slowly take everything over. :rolleyes:

Anyway, it's kind of a small thing but I hope we get a rocket or grenade launcher weapon. If they're gonna do the old school pistol, shotgun, rifle, etc weapons setup you GOTTA have a big bada boom.

I am oh so very excited for this, just to play some more Wolfenstein. Between TNO, TOB, and DOOM shooters have been great the past few years. As a friend of mine said, Bethesda should let ID or Machine games do a Fallout spinoff, like some brotherhood of steel rear end in a top hat in power armor.

I also want to echo the sentiment that Wolf09 is a great loving game, and is my favorite Wolf game after TNO. It had a great World War Weird feel, and was really varied in the levels, from farm (with underground bunker) mental hospital, airship in the sky, etc.
