@Mikolai:
i have noticed that they also have a assassin that's similar to Kroenen from Hellboy and also from that trailer i noticed there is a Rasputin type character(dark shades)lookalike thats also in Hellboy
still,very much looking forward to this
I knew I should have worked on creating a really generic super-human strength mutant beast with a malformed head thing earlier this year. If I had I could have put it up on iStock3DModels.com and funded a Hawaiian vacation.
Whatever guy that did make that model must be rich as hell now. There must have been 20 games at least this year that bought a copy of it.
You now there are far too many WWII game when we have to start adding mutants and magic powers to make it somewhat interesting.
The only way I'll forgive them is if Cyborg Hitler reprises his role.
@KillerBee: They've had magic at least since the Wolf game in 2001(not sure if that was the year). In fact the whole magic point was what made the last fight from what could've been challenging to something that was absolutely rubbish. 3 ubersoldats suddenly turned to 3 minor zombies that could be one-shotted (besides the main boss and his screaming banshees).
@KillerBee: WOW. Have you not heard of Wolfenstein?
@WhatTheFrag: They've had magic since 1992. The original Castle Wolfenstein had sorcerers, mutants, and Hitler in a mobile armored suit.

@LoLAdrian ...And Then Comes Lividity: you're right. I forgot about those guys. Haven't played that game in over 10 years. Just remember the last one which was uh well it's BJ Blaskovicz but he was against Himmler's cultists and such. I think.
@invictus2006: I doubt that's the general idea. The MW2 price hike is a definitive test. They can afford to test that on a game that's got a fanbase that would pay the price to get the game. While Wolf has a fanbase it's a lot smaller these days and increasing the price would see far less sales than both id or Activision would like and that wouldn't work well for them.
Besides they have the games with plastic peripherals to sell at ridiculous rates.
Speaking of which DJ Hero is sold at £83 by some online retailers which is £25 below the MSRP.
@WhatTheFrag: See £83 for DJ hero isnt that bad for the game but you still have to admit that its quite pricey...well for what it is.
Thanks for clearing the price up, loved RTCW on the xbox.
So, whatever happen to shareware?. Oh thats right, before the primitive way to to expose and sell your software, we would have to buy the game at full price and pay another 15% to unlock a code already on the disc.
It all makes sense now.
Is it wrong of me to think that despite the dated tech, this game looks beautiful? I really can't wait for this. I loved Doom 3 and Quake 4 (Yes, I liked Doom 3, sue me), but I never really played RTCW. Looking to save for a copy now.
@awesomemonster: Yeah, but I never got into it, and walked away with the impression that it was just a modded-up lag fest, and I'm not really a big fan of heavily modded multiplayer games. Had a couple really cool games here and there, but that was only when I could get the damned thing to connect to some guy in Switzerland or something.
@gold163 Have Explosive: Well then that has nothing to do with the game. If you can't find servers near you there's nothing the developers can do about it.
Anyway you can buy all the Wolfenstein games on Steam for $20 here: [store.steampowered.com]
@Narishma: Well obviously it has nothing to do with the game itself, but if I can't even play the game, how am I supposed to make a good impression of it? Besides, I wasn't interested in the multiplayer in the first place; I wanted the single-player campaign most of all.
And I'd rather take physical copies of the game. It's the kind of thing you want to proudly put on your shelf, and my internet connection is pretty slow anyway.
what's bad with pixels? Its sometimes good to still work with older technologies cause now it is easier to work with them and we could do some incredible stuff. The Iphone put touch screen tech in our pockets and flash based games and hand animated games look stunning now. do you think they could have done it when the tech was new or just able to grow? I would like to see more 2D adventure games and what not is all I'm saying. Anyone else getting tired of the Z-Axis?
@Boom-Chicka-Ah-Here to Create a Star Commenter...: I would have figured that people would get tired of the X and Y axes before the Z axis, I mean, they're pretty much always there, whether your game is 2D or 3D. That being said, I'd like you to clarify, "more 2D adventure games". Though, I'm a bit boy and I love 2D, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
@gold163 Have Explosive: well i mean to say is. games like 2D mario games and braid, those are 2D adventure games but what I mean are games that have fluid animations and what not. Like veiwtiful joe but without the 3D. You know what I mean?
Somehow I missed that this version of Wolfenstein was going to center around The Spear Of Destiny.
I read Trevor Ravenscroft book about this called imaginatively "The Spear Of Destiny" which puts forth the theory that one of the main reasons Hitler went to war was to get The Spear Of Longinus from a museum in Austria because whoever possesed the relic (legend says it is the spear that was used to pierce the side of christ by the centurion Longinus while he was on the cross), would have the power to rule the world. Didn't seem to work much for Hitler did it?
Do we really need animated comics for titles with no real narrative? Even the lead "characters" name shows no forethought, or even intent of a story. Don't get me wrong, I love killing Nazi's as much as the next guy...but that's all the Wolfenstein games are.
Probably the only attention I was ever going to pay to this game was due to the fact that it had a mechanical Hitler. Now it's like a Kool-aid commercial where the wall breaks down and there's no Kool-aid guy in sight...
And while the original Wolfenstein 3D might not be as fun to play today as it was when it was originally released back in 1992, but Activision has included plenty of incentive take on Mecha-Hitler one more time.
