In the Alternative make some of the Nazis Americans that willfully collaborated and every once in a while when you kill a Nazi instead of hearing 'Mein Gott!" you hear, "Oh tarnation!" the milkshake nazi sounds pretty american. i assume there will be american collaborators and i am sure they will show some truly hosed up horrors, apparently they wanted to go further with the camp belica in NO but they ran out of time and wernt sure how to make it not exploitive feeling.

Grand Fromage posted:I can see it going either way. We're also talking about the US being conquered in the 50s here, the Klan wasn't anything like the power it had in the 20s. If the Nazis give them the chance to rise again they'd probably go for it. judging by the timeline, the soviets were crushed in 1946 and new york got destroyed in December 21, 1948 and america surrenders on the 24th so the nazi have had their way in america for 13 or so years. my guess is it looks alot like man in high castle america.

A Buttery Pastry posted:That's a very American way of looking at things. The Nazis were German supremacists, not white supremacists - with the rest of the Germanic race falling in the lower tier of the best race, the Italians on top of the second tier race, and so on. Please don't erase our proud European history of hating people based on poo poo Americans could hardly dream of. this. i took a bunch of classes on the nazis and poo poo and their terrible stupid race therorys" are more complex what people say they are. basically aryans/germanics were on top of the race chart and slavs were on the bottom at slave race status, the jews and romani were viewed as not even being part of the chart and were a evil hybrid parasite race or some poo poo. african/pocs were viewed as subhuman but there was never really a coherent effort to kill them or gently caress with them outside the "rhineland bastards(kids of colonial troops from ww1) who were sterilized. gently caress i feel dirty now.

kefkafloyd posted:In RTCW ubersoldats were essentially eldritch horrors made from fallen soldiers and "undesirables" by Deathshead in the X-Labs. pretty much. i think machine games counts RTCW as canon as well as the 360 game wolfenstein game for obvious reasons. A Buttery Pastry posted:When in doubt, it was always political expediency. The Germans/Nazis used to be on China's side, until it was clear China wasn't in any shape to do anything for them. Hell, Hitler was a flexible guy, he apparently ended up putting Slavs on top of his racial chart when the USSR started wrecking their poo poo - figuring that the German people had failed him and now deserved extermination themselves. sorta. he legit believed in his race "dog eat dog" struggle. if the slavs were stronger, they were stronger. then again hitler was basically mentally and physicaly broken(from a cocktail of drugs and possibly other poo poo) by the end so who knows. A Buttery Pastry posted:The closest to taking a pro-"white" position is probably Hitler wanting to make a deal with Britain. He was a pretty big fan of Britain oppressing all those weird Africans and Asians, so he thought they should just keep doing that and he'd settle for being made master of Europe. The Brits didn't go for it, because despite sorta being the originators of the modern idea of white, they weren't white supremacists either - and becoming Hitler's world camp guard was not a fitting destiny for the glorious British nation. yeah, he wanted england to be his ally because of race poo poo plus they would be helpful fighting the russians.

Do people actually think they're worried about keeping "continuity" with a 25 year old 2-and-a-half-D proto-Doom that the vast majority of their audience has never played, let alone gotten to the end of? In a sequel to game that was referred to by almost everyone as a "reboot"? hitler will be in it. i watched a bunch of demos today and they name drop him/ mein kampf/ and allude to him other ways. i dont know if he will be in it. but he is still kicking.

At least a somewhat sizable portion of the American population still sounds like its defiant; maybe it will inspire you to start that revolution that much faster. yeah, its been 14 years since the war ended, people have been born and grown up under the nazis and never knew the world before. its interesting and creepy.

Heaven Spacey posted:The point of that "so much for the tolerant left" conversation isn't to create shades of gray where you are supposed to see how you could be the bad guy from someone else's point of view, it's to show you using ~logic~ against a fascist is pointless. His point of view is that anyone that isn't Aryan should be enslaved or exterminated, you don't logically dismantle that. He is literally saying "Geez, man, I don't understand how someone could violently oppose me, the guy who marches people into gas chambers for a living. I'm just doing my job!" i like in the roswell demo where the nazi are talking with the klansmen and making GBS threads on them for not knowing german. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyiId1h2Ag&t

Just the idea of racist fascists bullying over a different breed of racist fascist because they're the ones with all the power and they don't have to compromise is super interesting and an unexpected angle that makes total sense when you see it play out. i think it does the creepy hosed up "happy right wing white supremacy utopia" thing best from what i seen, then again the only other competition is bioshock infinite and that games a giant mixed bag on all levels.

Cicadalek posted:Yeah I would presume it's logistical issues on top of fierce guerilla resistance. The bridge you gently caress up in TNO was built partly to ferry stuff to the African front, i think. yeah. this. they say it a few times i believe. africa is big and diverse(people wise and geologically,) they are probaly fighting all over.

Mordja posted:I just didn't much care for it. Some of the weirder weapons were cool, but you pretty much only got them in very specific, scripted instances, otherwise you were stuck with a standard console-shooter arsenal, and I didn't find the powers and enemies as fun to use and fight as they should have been. I think I played Wolf09 and Singularity around the same time and I much preferred the former. this. its wasnt bad, but it feel like most of the game was probably on the cutting room floor(much like bio infinite) and they took various things from the different development phases and stuck them together. also the world/enemies never really gel well together. like in wolfenstein 09 and new order, hell in all the bioshock games, most of the enemies feel like they are part of the world. singularity never felt that way. to many giant monsters and glowing things. idk. Psychotic Weasel posted:I haven't watched any of the published footage of the early stages of the game but from other other promo stuff we can surmise that the Nazi's are slowly rebuilding America in their image. A large swath of New Orleans appears to be abandoned (did the war destroy it? was it from natural disasters? or were the original residents just forced out?) and a number of other places sound like they're also in bad shape, but we can see there's a lot of those concrete superblocks being built around in a similar vein to Berlin. Rosewell looks like bizarro small town and we can probably surmise places like New York City have to be completely rebuilt after being bombed. I suspect people are being pushed out of the older structures and neighbourhoods and forced to move into newer ones for whatever reason. well it seems to me that the only place that got super hosed up was new york, since it got nuked and is apperently still a wasteland as an example. from some of the conversations in the demos(the nazis getting mad about tolerant left) talk about taking part in death squad missions to new Orleans, which leads me to believe that its probaly a refuge for minorities and dissidents(i think the leftist preacher lives there) they also brought slavery back and it seems the south is "doing well" under the nazis.

They could barely get the game running on PS3/360 so it was completely overhauled within a year of release which is impressive. thats what i heard too. same timeshift apperently. that game was supposed to have this detailed story line and poo poo but none of it happens. you get some vaugue cutscenes and some half tossed together thing.
