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.
If Wolfenstein: The New Order is meant to be campy, this new trailer does a good job of hiding it. "Nowhere to Hide" introduces players to the story of the game: an alternate history where Nazis have taken control of the world, and a resistance movement attempts to fight back.
Bethesda announced a limited-edition "Panzerhund Edition" of Wolfenstein: The New Order today. It comes with some extra goodies for $100, and is available through Bethesda's own online store.
Bethesda has released two new videos for Wolfenstein: The New Order. The first shows off a new sequence, where the hero BJ Blazkowicz encounters...
Wolfenstein: The New Order's first few hours won't reinvent the FPS wheel, but so far, it feels like a competent shooter with a pretty novel alternate WWII timeline.
As fun as Wolfenstein: The New Order looks, the id Software game we're all most keen to hear more of is Doom. The vagueness continues. Publisher Bethesda today announced that The New Order will launch on May 20, and pre-ordering will get you access to a beta for Doom. Which Doom? Doom 4? And what's the beta? Oh, don't worry your pretty little head with all that.
The Wolfenstein franchise has always been a fast-paced shooter with little thought to anything more than killing Nazis. But developer MachineGames is attempting a different style with Wolfenstein: The New Order one that offers a lot more depth and character development. Creative director Jens Matthies said the change in formula plays to the developer's strengths.
Wolfenstein: The New Order has been delayed. Originally scheduled for this holiday, the upcoming shooter has been pushed to 2014.
The premise of Wolfenstein: The New Order is an alternate history where the Nazis won World War 2. Bethesda has released a new trailer showing off ust how much things have changed in the game world of the 1960s, but the timing is a bit awkward with today being the 69th anniversary of D-Day.
Wolfenstein: The New Order, from developer MachineGames, brings back B.J. Blazkowicz for another round of Nazi killing. Unfortunately, while it tries to modernize the franchise by adding depth to its characters and writing, it struggles to mesh that with the campy, arcade-style tenants that are core to the series.
