Wolfenstein Young Blood

    I thought there was a topic since the announcement was a year ago, but can’t find it.

    This games will be the first Wolfenstein put us in the boots of someone else other than BJ: the two daughters he has, that take over the nazi-killing duties whilst he’s missing.

    So here they are, old announcement teaser and recent trailers:

    It’s out in late July and will enable for a co-op experience, there’s even a “buddy pass” in the deluxe edition, to allow players to play with a friend that doesn’t own the game.

    Not sure if is ideal to share this commentary to the previous entries in this topic, but at same time seems weird to gravedig the W2 topic for a video that encompasses all entries, and we don’t have a “container” for this sort of content (if there is feel free to move the post).

    Raycevick, maybe to warm up for the new title, has played all the previous games, in chronological story order rather than release. Here is his video, where he basically praise Old Blood as the best entry, with the others performing less well.

    I'm not sure I understand the comparison to Max Payne 3 cinematics, maybe that those in W2 are less annoying(?). I’m also a bit puzzled by the comments on the performance of New Order and Old Blood, apparently widespread (as he reports Bethesda has released specific fixes)… I don’t feel/have noticed any problem with it, despite playing on a gaming laptop(!) I think I’m playing quite cranked up. I’m gonna check because I still have to finish New Order and was thinking this last few days of picking it back up (so I can clean up disk space).

    The new Order was awesome... Old Blood was short but absolutely amazing! And then... I don't know what happened with The New Colossus, story and graphics are good but man the gameplay and level design leaves so much to be desired I couldn't force myself to finish it, and I'm a pretty big fan of this franchise.

    Leaving me very skeptical about Young Blood, I'll wait for the reviews to come out.

    Nice! ?

    After the previous mess that the New Colossus was and the trailers I've seen from this, I'm struggling to find interest in picking this up, and here's why. The comedic tone seems to be even weirder than it's predecessor, there's not even an antagonist other than "All Nazis", and I get the feeling that overall, this game struggles to know who its target audience is, which muddies the DNA into a unrecognizable salad of things. But, since it's the same framework and engine as the previous two games, the gameplay seems pretty smooth and the art seems to be really well done, except the characters weirdly enough. Seems like the LD is a bit better this time around too, with actual exploration and alternative paths, and not just corridor followed by wide open area for gameplay, rinse and repeat.

    I wish the co-op offered split screen, I'm very well aware of the technical challenges of making this happen but in games like this, it's a challenge that was worth tackling and it would sway a lot more people into buying this game for sure, since the game is being marketed as a "Wolfenstein with a friend" game, anyway.

    On PC, it's yet another title full of instability and crashes and to add insult to injury, the game comes with micro-transactions, fortunately it's cosmetic only which gets a pass from me but people are very sensitive to that nowadays.

    It feels more like a spinoff than a sequel, which is fine I guess, the $30 price shows that the publisher also knows this. Seems like this could be worth picking up if you have a friend to play it over coop, because playing co-op with an AI is rarely a fun experience.

    I've seen a few positive tweets, sounds terrible

    never found out heard this yt channel before but really well put together review

    I just don't understand what's going on. Ever since New Order and Old Blood stuff has gone down hill massively. Are they trying to compete with Borderlands, The Division or Anthem? If yes then why? Everything good about NO and OB has been seemingly cast aside in favour of a worse experience. Blows my mind.

    And just Bethesda in general, they seem to have lost the plot. Every week stuff just seems to get weirder. The new multi platform re-release of the Dooms needing an online account. Wolfeinstein being turned into a Borderlands/Division Coop level shooter. Fallout just being a mess riddled with microtransactions and having a BR Mode, wow. Remember the Nylon bags too? Without Doom Eternal they'd be struggling even more. Saying this, if there aren't any microtransactions in DE I'll be surprised.

    Hmm that got me interested to look at Bethesda's past 10 years:

    In late 2018, Bethesda announced and released its first-ever massive, multiplayer online game, Fallout 76, a prequel to the Fallout series.
