Junkie_XL

congrats. I'll have to download it later...is Spike on Basic 2? I only pay for Basic 1 thru my cable provider.

No sexy leather clad Nazi chicks, no care!!!!

Fingers crossed, I want the awesome multiplayer from RTCW, with a COD style leveling system!

Slum

Woot! looks like it's up early.

Also, there are some cool bits from Wanted in there. I believe a handful of polycounters worked on that project too!

Tumerboy

"Sorry, Wolfenstein is not available."

ArtsyFartsy

Yay! I have huge hopes for this one. I was a hardcore fan of the original.

Slum

Aww darn, just heard they pulled it down till tomorrow morning.

odium

I have zero hopes for the SP after everything I've seen, sadly... But as long as the MP is up to par with the original RtCW (and not ET) then its an instant buy for me!

blah,

ET was what that game was supposed to be from the beginning. Sorry but I'm not going to sit here and have one of my favorites games of all time criticized.

You must be one of those old school straight up deathmatch lovers.

odium

Not really, I just thought ET brought a lot of needless additions that made the game a hell of a lot worse. To each his own I suppose. I know a lot of people that swear by ET, and a lot that swear by VW.

MoP

Aren't there waaaay more people playing ET online than RTCW? I think you're in the minority there, odium... I'm not saying RTCW MP was bad, but to describe ET as "a hell of a lot worse" is purely a matter of opinion, one of which you're outnumbered on.

Either way, if it's an improvement on ET for the multiplayer then it should be good fun, I am not sure about the SP, the screenshots/media I've seen so far are not very convincing. Maybe the story will be good.

Some of the shots of the MP player models on the new site are just dire.

Murdoc

I liked both versions of the MP, the original mp in return was pretty cool for its time then a few years later I tried ET and it was cool too.

Not really sure of the direction the SP is going though...

Seaseme

Please have the beach invasion multiplayer map. That's one of my all time favorite experiences in multiplayer games.

odium

All hope is lost...

No coop? They are fucking RETARDED.

Changing the MP elements so it includes the Vale...? WTF is this shit, it shouldn't even be in the game anyway it looks so pathetic...

And why does BJ look and sound like a mix between a retard and Fonzi...?

Jesus, this games dropped totally off my radar now...

MoP

Eh, I thought the Vale looked fairly good. Not entirely sure how it will play, but it worked nicely in Clive Barker's Undying so I think it might be alright.

Some of the environments look pretty cool too, and in general I like the effects. Was it just me, or were none of the monsters casting shadows? I hardly noticed anything...

Agree BJ looks/sounds even more generic than last time. Him and the guy from Uncharted Drake's Fortune are 100% interchangeable generic-hero-man now. Really saddening, IMHO, it's like he has no character.

kat

I'd really rather a drop on uber quality texture wise to allow more "stuff" to be on screen. I'm pleasantly surprised by the clip, it all looks so much better in motion than the shots that have been released so far.

MoP

Yep kat that's what I thought too. I was distinctly unimpressed by all the still screenshots released so far, but seeing it all in motion does it more justice.

PixelMasher

Watched the GTTV segment today and some stuff looked pretty cool, like when the monster came out of the portal and fucked the nazi duder up.

I agree on BJ looking sooo bland and boring though, I hate it when devs go for the "every man" so he is more identifiable with the player, that seems to be a cop out for not having a defined personality.

My thoughts on the vale stuff, meh, doesnt really do it for me, feels kinda like they needed something to try to seperate themselves from the average 1st persona shooter but didnt quite get it, plus the real world shots look way better than the greeny vale stuff i think.

when I first say screens from this I thought it was from RtCW. you guys are right, it looks far better in motion.

Im not really excited for it, just am dog tired of shooting mp40s and dark ww2 bombed out towns.

ArtsyFartsy

It's just a little slimy. It's still good! It's still good!

Justin Meisse

Looks exciting, I never got to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein because my computer couldn't handle it at the time. Pretty cool that you guys incorporated the weird Black Sun cult, I saw a documentary on it recently and thought it interesting that it hadn't appeared in any games/movies.

Quokimbo

I have GT TV set to DVR all new episodes, and I go back and browse them all...

I will try to watch this sooner then I normally do, I really do not understand why I do it. I let my DVR build up like 6 months worth of shows, and what I am watch them marathon style. Most of what I am seeing already been released and I have played it...but I watch it cause of all the dev talk.

I typed all of that stuff out before reading that the link was up there am watching now...

---

Looks good, and so does wanted. The Vale system is bad? How? So what, you have something else to do while your running around shooting people, other then running around and shooting people.

ebagg

Yea BJ looks dull as hell character design wise. Hopefully the story turns out decent. Veil stuff...don't even know what to think about with that...they describe it as an alternate reality when it really just looks like you go into bullet time and the your vision is altered. Great looking game though, I want the multiplayerrrrrr!

Slum

Obviously, I'm not allowed to talk about anything or answer any of your questions here... In fact, even saying I'm not allowed to say anything may be saying too much.

So, I'll have to leave it at that..

I can say, thanks for the feedback and checking out the show, everyone.

Lee3dee

watched the feature on Gametrailers, I really like the look of the levels they have a lot of atmosphere and some of the effects are really nice. The gameplay looks standard gun and gun, the vale system seems interesting, but i could see it being overly used in map design or multiplayer. It looks a lot like signularity not having co-op is kind of sad, since so many games have it now, but if the multiplayer plays as good as cod4, it will have a good following.

I'll rent it first, if it impresses me I'll buy it. Great work everyone who worked on it!

This is the first Wolfenstein i will not play. the graphic looks old and the textures seemed to be made by a plugin.

I know its WIP so I can only judge it from the movies.

the game idea seemd to be solid. but thats the only thing i can be positive about at the moment.

I loved rtcw. did 3 maps for it. was very involved into the community. i really waited for it over one year and was exited about the game and graphics back into 2002. but this time i have the feeling theres just another action-game with some zombies to shoot at.

JacqueChoi

I only played RTCW. Never bothered with the SP (There weren't many Single Player FPS campaigns I'd played back then, as it was ALWAYS about MP for me).

I'd have to agree with Seasame. Beach Invasion Map was frickin steller.
