Well,based on these pics,what do you think of this game and engine so far?

Gotta love this flame thrower.

I think it looks like a pretty sweet engine and I really miss the Wolfenstein days so I'll probably check this one out.

whoa!!! thats awesome!!!

what these screenshots dont show you though, is the awful framerate it will run at.

**** **** off

ShakKen · Dec 4, 2000

Somehow those pics don't feel 'wolfensteini'. Nothing beats those blue SS gats with the shmeissers

"Shnushtaffel!"

I_ABuGa · Dec 4, 2000

looks more like Q3A than wolfenstein. I agree with Shakken, them SS fellas were classics.

Fuct · Dec 4, 2000

It looks like Kingpin to me.Does anyone remember that game?? Ya know,that game with the gangsta's with excessive cussing.

Every sentences must be accompanied by/with a f_ckin

"Meinlevan!"

I hope a bunch of old German guns are in it. New H&K guns just wouldn't give it a Nazi feeling.

Does anyone know if they're gonna make a new Doom? Now that would be sweet!

ShakKen · Dec 4, 2000

seeing as how bland ID games are these days, I have serious doubts about doom3.

Angel Of Death · Dec 4, 2000

Fuct, I heard that the guy that did the flamethrower for Kingpin did the flamethrower for this game. Did anyone else hear this?

Wolfenstein & the new one...

The engine looks nice, well, just like the Q3 engine... The models look sort of wierd, but the flamethrower does look nice. However, an engine a game does not make.

Wolfenstein was good because it was revolutionary. The new one will be anything but. It all depends on their story, which by Id's standards, will be a complete reversal from the precedent that they themselves have set...

I dont like the looks of that, unless they stick with the.....uhm..."THEME" on this one, its crash and burn IMO.
And jugeing from thouse screenies, it looks like they've tryed to make a whole new game out of it, witch is a krime IMNSHO.
I hope they havent though, i'd love to silence some of them'ol wolf nazi's.

Changed name from Goat ****er.

Ack! Horrible, horrible 16 bit color! I can still see it when I close my eyes...

Getting on subject, I don't trust id software anymore. All of their games end up turning into mindless deathmatches. By the way, what's up with that freakish monster in the second screenshot?

The ONLY way I can see this sequel succeeding, as to not dissapoint every classic FPS fan out there, is to put some serious SERIOUS story into the single player...something at LEAST on par with the tension and pace of HalfLife. If you ask me, the Wolfenstien universe is perfect for that kind of thing, if the right people are behind it. (Seeing that it is at least some of the KingPin people, I have some doubts, since that game sucked the stains out of my undies.)

Otherwise, it is screwed. Can't just be a "kill waves of enemies" game like the first one was. The first one invented that kind of gameplay...but we are so beyond that now...has to step up one better.

But who knows. Could be cool.

Gay

They've completely dropped the ball on this one. They should have stuck with a realistic theme and dropped the future-techno-zombie thing that id seems to have a hard-on for lately. Think about how cool it would be to have a 3D high-poly pissed off German Shepard trying to rip out your jugulars while a bunch of SS are trying to murder your Polish ass.

::sigh::

Doom 3 better rock.

Thats Wolfenstein alright

I don't know, but in the first screenshot of the flamethrower, first thing I seen was the swastika, and I remembered that mean assed boss screaming at me in German.

Your mission was to infiltrate the Nazi fortress Castle Hollehammer (not castle Wolfenstein) and find the plans for Operation Eisenfaust, the Nazi's blueprint for building the perfect army. Rumors are that deep within the castle the diabolical Dr. Schabbs has perfected a technique for building a fierce army from the bodies of the dead. It's so far removed from reality that it would seem silly if it wasn't so sick.

I have found it!

and I need only describe the spectre
which had haunted my midnight pillow.

There's a reason it looks like Kingpin. The new Wolf game is being developed by Gray Matter Studios, formerly Xatrix, makers of Redneck Rampage and Kingpin. They're just using the Q3A engine and license from Id. I'd link their website, but it doesn't seem to exist. And yes, it DOES look like it's playing up the zombie/mutant army angle of Wolf3D a bit too much.

Zundfolge · Dec 4, 2000

Do any of the Mac-heads here remember Pathways Into Darkness?

I always thought that game out-wolfensteind Wolfenstein.

What was cool was the way Bungie connected it to the whole Marathon series, there's some folks who knew how to make a story in a game.

Lord_Bunker · Dec 4, 2000

i much preferred the later Rise of The Triad. especially if you used the ekg cheat.

gibbs gibbs every where and you didn't have all the look for the ammo junk. you always had unlimited bullets. and gibs gibs gibs gibs gibs gibs. hehehehehehe gibs

it's only temporary till i get my own ghillie finished.

ThunderChunky · Dec 4, 2000

Pathways into Darkness...

Oh, the memories. That game was awesome. Unfortunately, I never was able to beat it... It was pretty damn hard.

Marathon kicked major ass. I have spent more time on that series than I have on all other computer games combined. Again with the story kicking ass and taking names.

Hopefully Halo will continue/elaborate on the story. Plus the graphics are just sweet!!!

Read more about Marathon's story here...

yeah, the later levels of wolfenstein (if anybody did play the full version) had zombie soldiers in them, because, as pacman said, it was a doctor doing experiments on the dead.

But it better have a damn good story to it -- and maybe some more intelligent guns. I never could figure out the chaingun in it...

Ballistophobia · Dec 4, 2000

$hit

I don't know how,but for some reason 4 of the thumbs aren't showing up here but they are at the site I linked them from and the addresses are still the same. Just click on the missing pics and it will still take you to the full size version.

Keiichi:How do you know it's 16 bit?

I think the game doesn't have the classic feel of course,I mean how are you ever gonna even come close to competing with a game that pretty much started it all.
