Wolfenstein: The New Order 30-minute gameplay video storms the castle
Wolfenstein: The New Order looks to go into an alternate history, but there's still a matter of running through certain aspects of World War II. Check out one of the opening stages in a 30-minute gameplay video released by Bethesda.
Bethesda and MachineGames seeking to go into an alternate history with the upcoming Wolfenstein: The New Order. But before the Nazis take over, the game's introduction appears to unfold like a standard Wolfenstein story. You can check out a portion of it for yourself in a new 30-minute gameplay video released by Bethesda.
The Wolfenstein developers offer a first-hand look at one of The New Order's opening stages, which was previously shown off at PAX East. This level sees BK Blazkowicz storming Castle Wolfenstein, a scenario that Shacknews got to check out for our preview back in February.

Raven's Wolfenstein seems more ambitious than this. What's unique about this game? It has a new setting (a mash-up of Quentin Tarantino and Man in the High Castle) but what does it do mechanically to stand out?
Highly recommend checking out Raven's game. It's an open-world shooter, with incredible weapon feedback, neat powers, a fantastic loot system and over-the-top physics.

Prey 2 looked way more interesting than New Order :(-
Wolfenstein 2009 isn't "open-world"; it's more of a Hexenish hub-spoke setup, where the spokes lead to mission levels that are linear, but very nicely detailed. That said, as much as others might deride it as a me-too shooter, it's a very competent FPS game in terms of mechanics, even if it's relatively shallow on story. (You didn't seriously get a Raven FPS game for deep storyline, did you?)

Looking past the 4-5 year technology gap to even the playing field, I think the actual act of shooting looks way more satisfying in Raven's game.
PC Gamer's Evan Lahti went hands-on with New Order and came away with similar impressions. http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/02/25/pc-gamer-podcast-373-hocus-focus-mode/

This actually put me in mind of: "CoD2, MoH:Airborne...OH! That last Wolfenstein! And some Far Cry 3 Takedownage, for luck."
I like all those games, so I'm now kind of curious. They won't get $60 from me, but can they make it as a $30-35 game? Or will is it have to drop all the way to $15-20?
Do they have DLC / Seasons' Pass announced yet?

Probably PC played with a 360 controller. Quite excited for this - I mostly play RPGs but I do like old school type shooters and seeing the armor plus non regenerating health ( I think your health will regen up until 20) set up and the ridiculous gore has me looking forward to this. I like innovation as much as anybody but I don't mind a game that does not do anything new as long as it does what it does well.

Yes I agree with your last statement. I think this new Wolfenstein might end up being like Call of Juarez Gunslinger, a game that excels at all things FPS while keeping to the basics and is FUN to play. I don't think I'll drop $60 on it though seems like it will need to drop down to $20 before it's a buy.

Has anyone talked about this yet?: http://www.wolfenstein.com/en-us/site
There's a section of the game's website that has various 60's US/UK pop and rock music re-imagined with German performers, complete with album art. -
