This is easily the best trailer I have seen so far. Game looks fantastic!
It's "Wolfenstein - Learn how to read Roman numerals"

Why can't I live in my fantasy where they snuck in the correct number for which Wolfenstein this is?

Technically this is the 11th Wolfenstein game so it's not wrong if you imagine those are just 1s.
The drab internal monologue and excessive story hampered the experience in my opinion.

Best part of the game imo.*
I really liked the setting, but the magic Jews was pretty bad if you ask me.

Okay that part I'll agree with. I completely forgot about that actually. It's just the rest of the story/setting was pretty well done.

I don't quite remember this part, can you give a recap?

Okay, so have the developers confirmed that BJ has a robot body?
Does that mean he has a robot penis? Or is a cyborg, man and machine fused together?
These are the important questions that Machine Games needs to answer.

Holy shit that collector's edition is amazing

Does anyone know if the PC collectors edition comes with a code or a disk?

He doesn't have a robot body
He's using the crazy genius tech suit from the first game. Carolyn was in a wheelchair and used the suit to participate as well

He's not wearing that suit on the cover. That's organic skin, but with a metallic rim on the neck.
And can he still use his penis?
There are scenes where he's wearing the suit, but definitely not when he is wearing the yellow leather jacket with the Dearbourne Infantry shirt

I'm pretty sure he is. It can dynamically fold and unfold from the head, it probably does the same for hands too
At least based on what we've seen, he's paralyzed (or close to it) and needs the exosuit to operate
I'm trying to find a bigger pic of the cover to look but no luck yet
EDIT: Hmm.....
he's either wearing a necklace or his head is Frankensteined onto a body. I don't think it's actually a cyborg body because it'd be more overt about it. It's still "retro scifi". There are straight up Nazi robots in the trailer that still look super goofy.

It's gotta be the latter. You see it in the trailer when he's talking to the "Masses of the proleteriat" guy near the end, it's quite clearly part of his body.
His head stitched onto another body then?

I love Pokken!
Kinda want to replay the series in anticipation for this? Are RtCW and Wolfenstein 2009 still canon to this new timeline?

Guess so. Interesting
Since we see the Frau Engel scene I bet he gets caught in his suit and she straight up rips his head out of it
Most likely as they put so much focus on the cat-monkey in the beginning.

Lol, it'd be even better if he just got his stitched back onto his own body, but they used Da'at Yauchud technology inside his body.

Good call.
Dang then he's probably in the wheelchair because of the operation, not because of the events of the first game. (or rather, he needs a new body because of the events).
He doesn't have the neck-thing when he speaks with Anya and has trouble standing up.
I think the wheelchair is due to the events, then you kill nazis while sitting in a wheelchair, he then needs to switch to get a working body again, and then game on.
Shit, maybe he uses the suit but it somehow breaks?
Going by the old blood basically they're going with "don't ask don't tell" style of canon. If you personally want it to be canon it is unless they say otherwise and retcon it, basically. All the other games take place before bj gets it via deathshead in the opening of tno.
SargerusBR
I love Pokken!
So is basically a MGS Portable Ops situation, got it, thanks.
The KKK scene took my breath away. It felt so horrifying and sacrilege seeing KKK and Nazi flags flying in a Norma Rockwell Americana scene. Felt so dirty and wrong and hit like a brick.
I feel like TNO doesnt get enough credit for having damn evil Nazis, which is weirdly uncommon given how often Nazis show up as bad guys.

Really wondering whose body it is that BJs head is attached to. It could even be his own, maybe it gets ripped off and they reattach it.

That's what's throwing me off
Like I feel like the powersuit should be an end game thing, though they could easily make you super empowered and then take it away

Or chopped off in that axe scene shown with Frau Engel and the lady from Babe: Pig in the City
I think they will take it away.
I dont know if it's him in it, but the clip of someone using the suit makes the wearer look tired and almost done for.
The New Colossus looks INCREDIBLE on Id Tech 6. I would love to hear what improvmenets have been made to the engine since Doom. Speaking of Doom, I am a little disappointed that ID hasn't been working on single player DLC for it (I assume this confirms that a full sequel is being worked on).
I love how Machine Game's take on a reveal trailer was to have a Blu-ray like extended look at the game. I'm honestly ok with not seeing any more until launch, though I am curious if they will still incorporate light RPG mechanics into the game (I personally could do without them)?

Ditto, id rather not have arcade like messages popping up telling me I did something towards an upgrade. Rather have to find upgrades through secret areas and have BJ say something humorous.

There's definitely more to it. The first game had several alternate pathways (nothing crazy), you had laser weapons to cut through certain doors/vents/etc to move about
The games are paced out fairly well, a lot of quiet non-combat exploration (there were underwater sections in the first game, though some people hated them) and character moments breaking up kill rooms
It's by all means still a linear game but it's not Call Of Duty
There's also some fantastic environmental work. Areas are beautiful, lots of fun satirical/alt history documents, stuff like that.
If you like Naughty Dog games at all (specifically Last Of Us) I would actually compare a lot of the game's design to that. It's linear but there's quite a bit to stop and see at times

The Old Blood is kind of a reimagining of RtCW. I think 2009 is still canon.
That's not him. That's the girl he watches in the first scene with Engel.
In this instance BJ is the camera. We see it happening through his eyes.

It still could totally mean he's up next to get beheaded lol
Either way it's hearkening back to the Eli vs. Fergus scene

I'm guessing that the deal with the ring around BJs neck being in multiple scenes, but not all of them is that the game will open with two choices like The New Order did. In one you'll do the head transplant and in another you'll get a power suit.

Probably not for me then, as I hated Uncharted 1 & 2, just too linear and boring to me. But thank you for the explanation.

If you're interested by the trailer I'd at least keep an eye on it, they may have gotten more intricate with designing levels but if you're looking for a more "open exploration" type deal it's probably not what you're looking for. It's more of a funnel
