Wait, that’s in 4 days right? So [Activision] will be releasing this new iteration of Wolfenstein, and I think it actually looks pretty decent. It’s not a game that I’m absolutely waiting for, but it’s about to come out and having played [Return to Castle Wolfenstein], I figure I’ll probably give this a spin eventually; even moreso since I haven’t played anything in a while (even though I had all summer).
So we all remember Return to Castle Wolfenstein, right? I actually enjoyed playing that game back in the day. The single player was fun, albeit short and fairly easy. The multiplayer aspect of the game though, occupied a lot more of my time since most of my friends also played. You could pick classes such as Medic, Field Ops, Engineer, or Soldier – each with different weapons and skill sets. A free multiplayer version came out that added new maps and more features called Enemy Territory was also released. Shortly after some time though, everyone started hacking the game and made multiplayer no longer fun.
I’ve never actually played Wolfenstein 3D, the first of the Wolfenstein games to come out, but judging from what I’ve seen, it feels very doom-like; it was a DOS game after all. The premise of the game is that you’re an American soldier trying to escape from a Nazi stronghold. I think in the end you end up killing the Fuhrer himself.
But enough about the old; it’s time for the new! Wolfenstein from Activision obviously looks much better than its predecessors, especially since Return to Castle Wolfenstein was released all the way in 2001. The graphics aren’t over the top, but I think I like the way it looks from the screenshots off the [website].
Wolfenstein is actually the sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, so there should be similarities or at least references to its predecessors I assume. The release trailer was made public yesterday at [Quakecon] and has quickly found its way onto the internet, so I bring it to you here, courtesy of [GameTrailers]:
It seems like there will be a lot of Nazi zombies going around, along with a bunch of other supernatural things – the usual RTCW stuff. The release trailer kind of hints at a story where you’re an American soldier that was captured and is now trying to escape from the castle. Wait, what? I think I just experienced deja vu as this plot seems familiar, but we’ll see – I have to play the game first. With only 5 days left, hopefully it’ll be sooner, rather than later – oh if only school wasn’t starting so soon.
