Support NeoGAF

[Zushin]

Probably wouldn't matter now since the drivers have all been updated. Get whatever card offers best value for money.

Alrighty, was just curious as Wolfenstein is using the same engine, wasn't sure if idTech5 ran smoother on one or the other. Thanks!

 

[AgentOtaku]

There you go.

lol

I actually think I'm pretty much in the minority here though. No one gives a shit about Wolfenstein nowadays. Haven't really since, wut, Enemy Territory and that was for MP.
My love stems from my days back in early '90s era. RtCW was okay and Wolf2009 was mostly forgettable after the first few hours

To me, it's a property that never quite got the right people working on it and gave it it's proper due.

It's debatable if these are 'the right people', given the general sci-fi tropey stuff was mostly a negative for Wolfenstein 2009. If this one falls flat too, all of id's brands are truly dead.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Don't forget to watch the John Carmack Wolfenstein anniversary commentary to celebrate

SO GOOD <3

 

[UnluckyKate]

Nazi mech ? retro killzone confirmed. Might be good

 

[-PXG-]

I looooooove the aesthetic of the trailer.

Holy shit I'm hyped already.

 

[AgentP]

Great way to usher in the next gen, a shooter based on a sprite based PC shooter from ages ago based on killing Nazis. Way to break down barriers and expand horizons. Has there ever been a good game based on a id IP?

true true

I think being under the same banner as id software though and not Activision, may help. Also, yeah, fucking Riddick and The Darkness (thought I think they already left at that point, no?)

oh go away

 

[Marcel]

I'm sure there will be someone to equivocate about it, but it's a big fat no. id brands ride high on nostalgia and hype trains.

 

[Tacitus_]

Yes, that would be brilliant considering Nintendo's proven talent to produce gritty steampunk first person shooters. Perfectly analogous with my example.

So glad you agree!

Best part is when he opens the secret doors at the end of the level

 

[dyergram]

Cool trailer I'm intrigued.

 

[shinobi602]

Wait this is made by The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick guys???

No it bloody well wasn't. The occult/'sci fi tropey' stuff in Wolf 2009 was great. I'm more curious about this new one in that I don't fancy fighting mostly robotos/mechs. I want to be shooting nazis in the face, making their heads explode and having them screaming for mercy whilst I'm setting them on fire with my flamethrower or riddling them with bullets from my MP40. Wolf 2009 was fantastic for that, some of the best FPS combat this gen.

POP!

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Ehh ID Tech 5?

looks like it.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

I'm only interested in the next-gen version.
Now I want to see some real gameplay footage.

You torture rabbits as a kid?

 

[Big_Al]

You torture rabbits as a kid?

Nope, wouldn't hurt a fly and never hurt anyone in my life Killing Nazis in videogames is always fun and it's always nice seeing your weapons in FPS have some nice, over the top gorey effects. Raven were always great at that.

 

[sacrificengineer]

Awesome, I'm looking forward to it. And great to see that id Tech 5 is getting exposure. Can't wait to see id's own next move with their engine.

Wow. Anyway. You really thought all that Veil nonsense, super powers, talismans, and crystals were a positive for a Wolfenstein game?

 

[The_Player]

Third time's a charm, right? Nah.

Implying previous two games were bad.

 

[Izick]

Oh shit! How did I miss this until now today?

EDIT: HOLY SHIT AT THAT TRAILER.

 

[jmood88]

I have almost no interest in the Wolfenstein IP but I'll get this just because the studio is basically the old Starbreeze.

 

[Big_Al]

Wow. Anyway. You really thought all that Veil nonsense, super powers, talismans, and crystals were a positive for a Wolfenstein game?

Yes because they gave the player options BUT they could also be ignored, they were another tool in the box plus it fit in with the vibe of the occult perfectly fine. I've had playthroughs were I only used my weapons, playthroughs were I used a lot of the powers frequently etc. Just allows a different approach really. My only complaint would be I would have preferred the Veil being more clear rather than mostly green.

 

[DieH@rd]

Oh shit! How did I miss this until now today?

The game was unveiled few hours ago.

 

[Marcel]

I don't need to imply. Most id properties are "don't touch with a ten foot pole" territory. If it wasn't the ex-Starbreeze guys, this game would be shelved.

 

[Schnozberry]

Wolfenstein is an overrated IP imo, but I get why it's attractive to developers. Killing Nazis is fun, and the industry seems willing to fund anything that leans heavy on nostalgia. The result remains to be seem, but I'll remain a skeptic. I'm willing to be convinced, however.

 

[Vidpixel]

Wait this is made by The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick guys???

I believe IGN said that it's being made by key individuals that worked and helped found Starbreeze Studios.

 

[nacimento]

Dat Dylan...

Spoiler

and Hendrix

 

[Meelow]

Not sure if posted but there is hope that Wii U is part of the "Next gen list"

@DCDeacon Does that include Wii U?

@crecenteb @Polygon we (intentionally) aren't being specific on what platforms "next-gen" covers. Stay tuned.

[EatChildren]

Wolf09 is so fucking fun.

 

[Izick]

The game was unveiled few hours ago.

I know, I would have though I'd notice something this huge earlier on though! A new Wolfenstein by some of the Starbreeze guys is big news to me.

 

[Schnozberry]

My guess is that means some kind of timed exclusive BS. I hope it makes Wii U. Off TV might be the only way I could find time to play it with my daughter bogarting the TV

 

[Arkam]

Looks like Killzone.

Why because of the soldiers in masks? If so you mean it looks like Jin Roh/Kerberos, of which KillZone completely ripped them off. (search "kerberos panzer" and you will understand)

 

[dark_prinny]

Color me hyped.

 

[The_Player]

Good thing this is just your opinion and not a straight fact.

 

[tha_devil]

Now it would be awesome, if they included Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Would be awesome to play it with updated graphics on my ps4.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Brian Crecente: Does that include Wii U?

Pete Hines: we (intentionally) aren't being specific on what platforms "next-gen" covers. Stay tuned.

Hmm...

Edit: beaten like a red-headed mule.

 

[CountAntonius]

We will never reach the levels of RTCW multiplayer awesome again will we?

 

[Meelow]

I'm thinking Microsoft made a deal with third party's like Activision to not announce any "next gen version" until the Xbox 720 is announced, I mean it has a 99.99% chance of coming to PS4 so yeah, and they did say "intentional" so that adds on to it.

 

[Marcel]

Good thing this is just your opinion and not a straight fact.

The last Wolfenstein game bombing and causing layoffs at Raven is a straight fact. Hopefully the ex-Starbreeze guys do better but it's an IP tainted with failure regardless of how 'fun' it is.

 

[plagiarize]

Hmm...

Edit: beaten like a red-headed mule.

I don't believe iD Tech 5 is particularly CPU intensive, so technologically it should be good to go, if they decide it's worth bothering.

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

“As fans of the series, working on this game is an honor, and our team is driven to create an unforgettable action-adventure experience that will make FPS fans proud.”

That is giving me hope, that they will continue to develop genre blends like they did with the darkness or the Riddick games, and not just a pure shooter.

 

[FaustsBoon]

It feels like the Dust Warfare/Tactics game I always wished for....

And... Dat Hendrix.

Not a lot to see here, as of yet, but i'm oddly hyped.

 

[SniperHunter]

Why because of the soldiers in masks? If so you mean it looks like Jin Roh/Kerberos, of which KillZone completely ripped them off. (search "kerberos panzer" and you will understand)

yea because glowing helmets is such an original idea! Only someone working in the Japanese anime industry could come up with something so original!

 

[Azull]

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wait this is made by The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick guys???

Wait what?
Did some of those guys leave to this studio?

 

[poros1ty]

This series... needs to be put out to pasture.
The first Wolfenstein was the only one worth playing.

Nah. RTCW was one of the best SP games ever.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/331761017442938880

Probably refers to the next Xbox, doubtful about Wii U.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I'm interested. Trailer got me suitably moist and an old id franchise using Tech 5 just feels so right. I'm so glad more games are refining the technology after RAGE.
