Well, that’s what the trailer should have been titled. Actually it’s more about the goofy occult horror angle of the reworked shooter, showing off the reality-hopping “veil” effects and the green-emitting monsters that Nazi scientists have created to destroy Freedom, jazz and apple pie. There are also impossibly large guns. That’s right: it’s Wolfenstein, it’s coming this summer, and it’s a first-person shooter videogame. We like those.
You’ll always be the subject of our occult experiments, GameTrailers. Love you!

Kinda funny, and a little sad, that Raven’s releasing two TOTALLY DIFFERENT shooters in the near future – one with magical abilities allowing you to travel into the Veil, and the other with technological abilities allowing you to travel into the past.
True. You could always play someone else from Spectrum though! Flight sim mode for the Angels, RTS for Colonel White, FPS for Captain Blue, or just an adventure game for Captain Scarlet?
I remember being annoyed for trying to sell 2 public stealth games (ass creed and conviction) announced to be within a year of each other. I still hold that captain scarlet being invincible was a stupid concept for a hero, as it made nothing he did heroic. So, he wins while never being in harms way, or loses despite never being threatened. A thunder birds game focused on actual rescues rather than combating terrorists would be great. “oil tanker on fire, save crew and limit oceanic damage. Ps you cant use thunder bird 2 or 5 for arbitry reasons.
Pags, i have a few million that i need to get rid of, would you kindly set up a team to make this captain scarlet game. I want to play it!
Yes.
maybe Raven is doing a marketing experiment trying to find out of slapping a new fresh name onto a game will make more money than slapping a stale overused franchise name on the exact same thing ?
on the bright side, if Singularity does better than wolfestein maybe theyll stop with the attack-of-the-sequels approach to produce new games
Sigh.
Nazi supersoldiers and green stuff? Really? Sorry but that shit is nothing but embarrassing.
What engine they making doom 4 on?
I don’t get why people are shocked that a wolfenstein sequel is about Nazis and the occult.
The vid got me excited at the beginning when I imagined you play as a Nazi mad scientist with thousands of henchmen at your fingertips. You set them up so as to delay BJ long enough to make a last minute exit each level. The last level you finish your work to gain super powers just in time to fight BJ one on one!
THIS GAME MAKES ME PROUD TO HAVE BEEN USING THIS NAME IN EVERY GAME SINCE RTCW.
mmmh, for some reason I think playing as the mad nazi scientist talking at the beginning would be much more fun than as lone american hero guy or whatever the guy you play is supposed to be.
Honestly, RTCW wasn’t all that great. It’s really just ET that kept the game alive, and if a game just like RTCW came out now those people would probably hate it just as much.
That said, I don’t have my hopes high for a number of reasons:
1. It somehow manages to look worse than DOOM 3 in screenshots despite being 5 years newer (I think the culprit is that id tech 4 only really shines when it comes to lighting and shadows (lol pun i r clever), and those are underplayed in the Wolfy screens and videos I’ve seen).
2. The gameplay seems just like all the other generic shooters we forget about.
3. The plot seems to take itself a little too seriously, and the character models and animations look clumsy even in the trailers. Really, we just want gratuitous nazi guts spilled on the floor and crazy monsters and ubermen to battle from the depths of the scientists’ labs. If there’s one thing they pick up from id, I hope it’s the notion to keep things simple.
This looks genuinely awful.
I don’t understand why everyone is so down on this. It looks like it’s continuing on with the same old over the top fun nonsense that Wolfstein series has run with since the start. Also I personally think the graphics look pretty good, especially that time warp scenery change effect. I don’t get this expectation that some people have, that all new games must constantly be pushing the boundries of what’s possible in computer graphics.
hmmmmm…………….meh
Zeppelins => automatic buy
I concur.
Plz also NAZI submarine, NAZI space station to go with the bunkers and castles.
Evil undead Nazi super-soldiers in mech suits.
What’s not to like?
Still trying to figure out way BJ looks like Max Payne.
Is it really that hard for sequels to follow elements of the originals? Or shit, even the last game?
