Wolfenstein Returns?

Not every game needs mp. A lot of these mp modes won't get played anyways. Just sell a good sp

Good choice, we all know this would probably have been just your regular TDM/CTF/Domination package, which rarely feels like a worthwhile investment.

If they tried to go more of the Enemy Territory route I would be all for it though, that shit was dope!

yep i support this decision, we need to go back to times where SP game was SP game without loosing resources on stick on MP game with no one ever playing it

I respect the man, I really really enjoyed the talk he gave at the last DICE.

But frankly, do you need to come out like this? I mean "today": this is just bad timing to me, to say this kind of things. You could say the same thing about most of the games, this was a generation of sequels for the most part; I mean there are certainly lesser intersting IPs that get sequels... Wolfenstein still has peculiar traits that make it more intersting to develop than other brands.

There are a ton of games i'm so not interested i'm not even aware they are coming out, but i don't go and flame-comment "who needs another of this", because if it's being made, there's probably an audience for that, and as a gamer i respect those who want more of that, and i respect even more the developers behind it (which maybe don't even want to make a sequel of "Title XYZ", but they need to, if they want to stay in business, and they do their best anyways).

So, in my opinion, totally not cool for a veteran, an icon, to say this kind of things, especially on this specific title.

It's warren spector but he's totally wrong

Exactly...

"omg guyze, he's being like, suck a fucking dick, omg, like.. omg!"

Say all you want, he kinda spoke what we all think anyway.

Teaser: i was hooked to this trailer... loved what they did to Hendrix song... and loved how the trailer ended (cool red tint, basic layout) Well taste, well done (guys that bethesda hired to make this teaser)!

idtech5: wow =D cool to seem that this curious technology will not die yet =D I loved the visuals in Rage, (must setup the config to use the 8192 pixels textures, and tweak the streaming stuff = amazing look). And these screenshots looks fantastic! (but could have less JJ abrams lens).

Warren: nhe... i agree with him some parts. There's a lot of FPS around... very similar but there's a lot of similar books, similar movies, similar songs... is mass market right, there's a lot of stuff that is the same, with different skins... not a good phenomena at all.

SP only: YES. This way team will be able to spend more resources on a good campaign very good.

Yes and no.

Yes, there's a good chunk of truth in the concept you can extrapolate from what he said, but he took it all out on a specific title. I don't think that was random, i mean, critics are always pointing their finger at modern shooters in the last few years, yet he takes on the only title that has been several years in hiatus, and which anyways offers a different setting.

And he's "disappointed" that people writes him and accuse him to be all bitter because his company close down... what was he expecting?

I dunno, it's simply the concept "we make only violent games" that is misplaced, he should know that, since the kind of titles he worked on. I think that this is just a bias because this kind of games get a lot of press, but i remember reading in the past that there are actually far more titles that are non-violent... we very well see at the mall that most boxes don't have an "M" on top of it, and the end global sales of non-violent games outsell shooters by great numbers.

Those screenshots look incredible, I am excited about direction for this game!

I agree with Warren on his points, there are a lot of the same FPSes going around, and it's sort of painful to watch. I'm not saying every new game should be the newest indie sensation with mechanics so hip your beard grows white within seconds, but I mean, we could have a small steady progression, or at least a different take on what Wolfenstein is. But then again, Wolfenstein has almost no narrative and seems solely based on world war II, give or take war crimes.

I am still of the opinion that the industry has a long way to go, but it is an industry, and publishers have to make money... apparently. And I doubt whatever talent is on the game wants to not do it either, since it's an industry that by all standard, still holds a tremendous amount of status and elitism, because it's FUN to WORK in the GAMES INDUSTRY.

EDIT:

LOL @ people being shallow thinking he was bitter about his own games being "failures". Also lol at people getting upset about this. It's free speech when it's best; the reason you don't like it is probably because it hits too close to home.

Curse those fun games being fun.

Can't hear you over the sound of my combat fatigue

I'm do not endorse that kind of response, but i'd say "lol on him" not expecting that kind of reaction. We all know what the Internet is

I don't think that the devs at Machinegames bombarded him with ragemails so, what do you mean?

i wasn't referring to developers, just people in general.

Exactly, so you are talking about fanboyism.

Since I've openly stated he went a bit too far with his statement, I think I might reply.

"Upset" is definitely an exaggeration (in my case). From a gamer point of view, I find very curious his choice: there are other sequel/remakes/what-have-you that came out or were announced recently to which I won't pay attention to, while Wolfenstein is something from our generation's youth, so it's quite natural to be tingled at the idea of an actualization of the game.

But imo the point is not even which game you refer to, because the message, the critique to the Industry gets lost in the noise of the gamers reaction. I don't agree at how the critique is made... I mean, we could say as well: "who needs the Nth platform game? the Nth fighting game?", there are plenty of those and aren't those stagnant as well? In fact "This is an old school [insert-game-genre-here]" has become a selling point. So, it's very shallow to put the argument in this form.

In his DICE speech Spector advocated in favour of mature, narrative-oriented games (and he was cheered on the emotional wave that GOTY The Walking Dead created); I can definitely get behind that statement, but I'm certainly not looking forward for the market to be flooded with games with little interaction and zero skill required.

Screens follow, here you can see several concepts.

And a liiiittle bit of gameplay here:

This is an aesthetically pleasing game.

Looks fun as hell, definitely a much better job at the art direction than the previous one
