I'll check this out on PC;
So I guess they thought it was a dud too? I'm in agreement with the marketing department.

Yes it would be, in alternate history Germany where the Wii U gets games.

It was sent to die by Acti shortly before Blops came out IIRC. The didnt give a shit about it, hence why you still cant get it on steam/DD sites.
Anyway, Darkness/Riddick devs, Wolfenstein, HOLY SHIT in on board for this, despite my initial urgh at the change of setting.
Loved RTCW, ET, and Wolf 2009. dont let me down, machinegames

If it's a corridor shooter and isn't doing something genuinely new and innovative, then yeah, hope it flatlines.
No, Housemarque are Finnish.

This should be the game, but the screenshots indicate that it sadly won't be: (repost from pre-announcement thread)
You are a prisoner in a german POW camp. The prison area of the camp is a hub world where you can talk to other prisoners, do side quests and interact with interesting non-hostile ai behaviors. Throughout the game you infiltrate the guard areas, the administrative buildings and the small city centre in close proximity to the prison, and on several special missions you traverse farther outside of the camp to sabotage key german military assets. The game focuses on stealth and silent melee takedowns, but guns are available on some missions (maybe in the hub also, but be prepared to be executed for using them, maybe after a slight delay where you are attacked by increasingly deadly tactical units). The game is divided into three acts consisting of three security levels of the german pow prison system. The game has a primitive skill system which slowly increases the player agency when it comes to stealth and takedowns. The player character may or may not be a blank slate. The game is not true open world like Saboteur, but semi open like Riddick to maintain high quality graphics and content throughout the game.

Earlier in thread someone called it "Resistance with Nazis" and that looks about right.

I think my favourite part of all of this is Blazkowicz' grizzled voice and cheesy dialogue.
It strangely gives me hope.

Stylish trailer was stylin' and proflilin'.
But that's how teasers have always worked. They tease.
Here here!

Reminded me of Watchmen for some weird reason. Right at the end when the robots came to life.
How much you wanna bet it will go for modern gaming FPS tropes that really pisses off all the fans?

Hah, another "stay tuned". He probably could've just said "no" if it wasn't coming to Wii U. But it'd be best not to expect anything.
I wouldn't call myself a Wolfenstein 'fan', but I'll take this bet. I'm banking on focus-tested as all hell since the last Wolfenstein game didn't do well at all.
Well that was unexpected.
You know, that's probably what I liked most in the trailer. Reminded me of Jackie Earle Haley's Rorschach voice (though the music probably set the mood to get me thinking about Watchmen).

That doesn't look like Doom 4. That doesn't look like Doom 4 at all.
That sounds like the worst Wolfenstein game ever. Maybe for another game this might work, but not for Wolfenstein.
There might be some other games coming out this year too. Not sure though.

F YES!!! Looks amazing. Can't wait.
It's a FPS. Look at the screenshot and the announcement mentions FPS.
Considering what we've heard about Doom 4 that's a good thing.

Will most likely get delayed to Q1 2014.

On the other hand, an ordinary shooter is an awful idea for the ex Starbreeze guys. Their unique talent to create genre busting first person games should be utilized. Look at Syndicate to see what happens otherwise. Ofc, wolfenstein is a weak universe to begin with and I would rather see machine games work with something else.

Destiny is this holiday? Someone alert Bungie of this news!
Thank God it's first-person!
Seeing a muscly FPS dude's sweater, dogtags, and pants is immersive let me tell you.

You know. Based off the last craptastical Wolfenstein and that trailer color me uninterested as hell. Who knows. Maybe they'll turn my opinion around but as of right now not interested.
All I want is RTCW on steroids and a ton of players online. That was perfection damn it.
