[I NEED SCISSORS]

Did the world really need more Warren Spector after Deus Ex?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The world didn't need Epic Mickey, either

That's almost thread worthy itself.

Warren gets to be quiet after Epic Mickey's travesty.

I'm excited for this, I've always loved Wolfenstein.

 

[Dictator93]

Wow, Warren. WOW.

For a man who knows nothing about how this game will play... that is quite the opinion.

Also... given how there are really no games which play like CHronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay to this day... I am not sure if Spector really should have said that.

I can understand disliking the use of the franchise name though. Riding on the tales of past glory somewhat obviously.

 

[d00d3n]

That's almost thread worthy itself.

Yes, absolutely. Incredibly harsh words from a world class developer to a bunch of other brilliant developers.

 

[legacyzero]

Warren smokin dat Purple Haze.

 

[derFeef]

Dammit Warren, I expected a bit more of an open mind by you, seems kinda dismissive to just write that because it's not his cup of tea.

Well...not very interested.

Are you sure? Tell us more about it.

 

[MYE]

I hope it doesnt take itself too seriously. The voice over was terribile.
And yes, the world needs more sci-fi, paranormal Nazi shooters. Shut up Warren!

 

[Nirolak]

Split bump so the Wolfenstein thread stays on track.

 

[Hot Coldman]

i'm gonna help promote this thing I hate

 

[firen]

The world didn't need Epic Mickey, either

 

[Doctor Decimate]

indeed. the world REALLY needed another Deus Ex, though, and how'd you deliver on that, Warren?

I'd much rather having something along the lines of Epic Mickey then another generic FPS.

 

[Sendou]

He has balls coming from Epic Mickey 2.

What is he doing now anyway?

 

[twinturbo2]

Is he still butthurt over Lollipop Chainsaw outselling Epic Mickey 2?

 

[Binabik15]

That's not very nice.

The better question is "Does the world need another Wolfenstein that ISN'T RtCW2?", anyway. You know, because RtCW was brilliant.

 

[Definity]

The world didn't need Epic Mickey, either

Came here to post this.

 

[abadguy]

These are videogames, Warren. Calm the fuck down.

 

[Xater]

Yes it does need it. I am more interested in this than any other modern military shooter. And how about you make a good game again Warren, then maybe we can talk.

 

[NateDrake]

In the comments he further backs his opinion up. Seems he is just tired of shooters that don't bring anything new to the industry, yet people get excited and buy them anyways.

 

[MYE]

Warren was probably having a shitty day. He is still wrong though

 

[Tesseract]

oh warren, you're breaking my heart. go home and be a family man.

 

[Meccanical]

Did the world really need more Warren Spector after Deus Ex?

No

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

The world didn't need Epic Mickey, either

.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Still not on speaking terms with Warren after the double Epic Mickey flop.

Just the name leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

I like shooting nazi so I kindly disagree with Warren.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I'm also sick and tired of military shooters, but I think it's misguided to take that out on Wolfenstein. It has a much more interesting setting than the Call of Dutys of this world.

 

[Averon]

The guy seems to have grown bitter and cynical towards the games industry. Maybe he needs to take a long vacation or think about retiring.

 

[CosmicQueso]

The real post adolescent male fantasy is thinking one can dictate and control what others think, are interested in, and enjoy.

 

[anaron]

LOL damn.

 

[antitrop]

I can't say I agree, I'm rather excited for the new Wolfenstein. I'm not taking it very seriously, even if it wants to take itself seriously.

 

[Heart Attack]

I agree with him. I'd rather play an average mickey mouse game which hadn't been made in a while, instead of another freaking shooter.

 

[a secret-boss]

SALTY
after his bomba games

He has seen the game?
Also avatarquote

 

[OatmealMu]

I'd like to say "Put up or shut up", but the last time he "put up" we got Epic Mickey. So, I think it's time for him to shut up. Modern Warren Spector bums me out.

[Unspeakable Evil]

Is he still butthurt over Lollipop Chainsaw outselling Epic Mickey 2?

Lol he was?

 

[clip]

He's right.

 

[maquiladora]

I totally agree with him on this. So tired of FPS stagnation...

 

[Always-honest]

Yes Warren. You can speak for all of us.

Ps: your inner kid died.

 

[rakkadakka]

Epic Mickey or not, the man has a point.

Hopefully he's wrong and the game has some redeeming value.

Another generic FPS is one thing the world does not need.

 

[The Boat]

As someone who's only interested in shooters and most of the so-called AAA epic, visceral games sporadically and as someone who's also slightly annoyed that millions gobble up anything that falls in this category, I have to say Warren, no one's forcing you to buy Wolfenstein and no one's forcing anyone to stop making "alternative" games. There's room for everyone to have fun.

 

[anaron]

Yes Warren. You can speak for all of us.

He's not speaking for anyone but himself, though...

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

On the one hand, I agree with him. On the other hand, it's Bethesda and I hadn't seen this yet so I'm gonna go check out the trailer. Sorry Warren.

 

[bidguy]

never played a wolfenstein game but the setting sounds amazing. the new one will probably the first one i buy though.

 

[golem]

Did the world need another Wolfenstein? No, but it will probably keep people employed. I cant fault movie studios for making endless action movies that appeal to the masses and neither can i fault the game companies that do the same.

Now taking huge budgets and completely sinking a studio with mediocre games? That I do have a problem with, Warren.

 

[marrec]

Even generic FPS's might have some sort of value...
