Bethesda has announced Wolfenstein: The New Order, a first-person shooter due out on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and the next Xbox at some point during Q4 2013. According to Gamespot, it's set in 1960 in a what if? scenario that sees the Nazis win World War 2. You play American war hero B.J. Blazkowicz and fight back. As rumoured, Wolfenstein is being made by MachineGames, the ZeniMax-owned studio founded by former members of The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick maker Starbreeze. “We are excited to bring a new chapter of Wolfenstein to gamers everywhere,” said Jens Matthies, creative director at MachineGames. “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.”
Lolol... Wish they'd just continued with Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory. IMO that game had better gameplay elements than TF2 and custom servers allowed that game to keep an active community for a very long time. Plus, it was free ^^ If they're developing for 'all' platforms, I'm always skeptical. Means they'll have to lock in to xbox controls and graphics for almost everything.
In fairness, there are absolutely tons of multiplayer FPS games out there. Many of which have extremely weak single player modes (if any at all.... Titanfall...). It would be nice to see a strong single player FPS.
Dont get me wrong, I like the IP and I'm not entirely against SP FPSs but appart from a few exceptions like Dishonored, Fallout, etc, they tend to be very linear with low if any replayability. I still hope the game will deliver. Wolfenstein Enemy territory from splashdmg was one of the best MP FPS of its time so they are in effect removing a feature from this IP. And what the fuck is this argument about 'theres already plenty of MP FPS' ? Yes, they are also plenting of solo FPS.. In any case, who gives a shit, they will sell shitload on consoles.
My son is all over this shit and will be his first game for his new xbox 1 he is getting at the end of next week after his last exam.... You hear that Rev's XBOX 1
