Support NeoGAF

[Bronetta]

It's good to see Bethesda allowing stuff like this, even if it shouldn't actually be controversial.

My opinion on Bethesda has really turned around this gen. They're not afraid to take risks.

Their last retail release has a black female protagonist who also happens to be bisexual.

Plus they've put out hit after hit this gen with an emphasis on single player. Kudos to Bethesda.

Short but effective as hell.

Some thing unsettling about a game using political strife to sell more copies.

Cool if the developer has a message, and that stands on its own through the game. But a bit weird being part of the marketing campaign.

Are you new to videogames?

So much for the tolerant left.

Oh, that's good.

 

[ramoisdead]

Fuck yeah. So stoked for Wolfenstein II.

 

[Peltz]

I wish NeoGAF had a "like" button.

 

[Darryl M R]

I never played a Wolfenstein game but I need to show support. Can anyone share some hype videos of gameplay?

 

[Skatterd]

Not gonna lie, was gonna get this anyway but that tweet made me preorder.

 

[Crayon]

Is this gameplay or a cutscene?

 

[Anung]

This game is what we need right now.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Well I have no choice but to support this game LOL

 

[CazTGG]

Perfect advertising, shame Bethesda's publishing it. I'll get it used when I can find a local copy.

 

[Shaanyboi]

I'd at least like an attempt at subtlety or wit.

Maybe in another time. But right now, I highly encourage open threats against Nazism

Perfect advertising, shame Bethesda's publishing it. I'll get it used when I can find a local copy.

Bethesda's been a great publisher this gen IMO, with the caveat of the launch day review copies thing.

I don't even need context, I'm loving this!

Wolfenstein II |OT| A Hate in Time

Make it so!

 

[Gator86]

Amazing graphics and gameplay. Sign me up. I might have to buy this game at launch.

 

[RPGamer92]

Bethesda's been the best western publisher this gen by far,

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

There's good reason this is one of my most anticipated games.

Wolfenstein II |OT| A Hate in Time

god damn

GOD DAMN

 

[ramoisdead]

Wolfenstein II |OT| A Hate in Time

I thought the OT would be "So Much For The Tolerant Left" but I'll accept the above as well.

 

[alr1ght]

This needs to air on TV. A big fuck you to the Nazis and it will sell tons of copies.

[StrikeFirst117]

The marketing for this game has been top notch and I can't wait for the release.

DAAAAAAMN!

 

[TheMrPliskin]

This will never get old.

 

[Grisby]

Effective ad for sure.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

This game is going to be so cathartic

Oh yeah.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I thought we didn't have any Switch footage from the TNC port yet?

 

[BuddyTheBestPuppy]

awesome

the next top democrat in running should use this tag line.

MANA sounds infinitely better than MAGA... because mana is delicious.

 

[Marvel]

Great ads, great gifs, great thread lol

Day one for this game.

 

[Visualante2]

Uhhh... The Tweet and message of the video simultaneously have to do with the plot of the game though. Why are they not allowed to send a political message with their game?


Damn

That's not what I said. I'm totally cool with the game having a political message. It is the act of marketing in this way that I find opportunistic. Some see that as creative and are applauding them but I'm not so sure I feel the same way.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Wouldn't it be MANFA though?

[TheSun]

Can't wait!

Gonna curb stomp some nazi fools.

I'll second this. And your point about having a black, female, LGBT protagonist needs to be emphasized. Publishers don't like taking risks, and it wasn't as though Dishonored 2 was a runaway hit. You could easily see Bethesda demanding the "safest" possible follow-up. Instead we got the awesome Death of the Outsider.

 

[mazillion]

I was going to wait for a sale on this one but I love this so much I'm actually considering Day 1

I'm already getting AC:O and SMO though..

The game would be about killing Nazis either way, and thus the advertising would be too.

It's not a controversial or opportunistic opinion, it's just the right thing.

 

[funkystudent]

I really should finish that first game damn it.

More like B.J. Blazing Fists...

Ill show myself out

I agree, it's unsettling that a this game about destroying members of a dangerous, hateful political ideology has a political message.

 

[CazTGG]

That's a pretty big, anti-consumer/anti-reviewer caveat, not to mention their consistent patent trolling of indie developers. Again, I want to buy the game because Nazis can get fucked but I don't want to support Bethesda's business practices.

Bethesda's been the best western publisher this gen by far,

That's not a lofty accomplishment given their peers include EA, WB and Activision.

 

[Glass Shark]

[Cheebo]

Man I love how they are embracing how cathartic it is for us to want to kill nazis with a Nazi sympathizer in Trump as President.

Retweeting that onion tweet was genius.

Bravo. That alone earned my purchase.
