I know the new Wolfenstein is gonna deliver on the Nazi shootin', but the trailer implicitly promised some KKK shootin' and I better get it  Mafia 3 was a good start in that regard. Let's see you step it up MachineGames.

de_dust posted:I'm going to reinstall TNO and TOB, it's one of the best nazi killing simulators. Sniper Elite being a close second. There were some notes you could find in TNO suggesting that the Fuhrer wasn't looking that great and was pretty sickly and pale-looking or something to that effect. Maybe a bit of stretch to go to "zombie" before The Old Blood came out but, well, The Old Blood had literal zombies.

poptart_fairy posted:I wonder if the power suit will be customization at all, or if it's just a story related thing you only get to use when the story says so. It might be the new laser weapon upgrade thing? Where you find upgrades to it (for some reason) scattered around the game, but not really in places where you'd miss them. There are definitely points in the trailers where gameplay-BJ has it and appears to not have it

Mordja posted:We've been tricked guys. Wolfenstein:TNC isn't an FPS, it's a walking simulator where BJ Blaskowitz is an undercover reporter who needs to axe the hard questions. mllaneza posted:"There are a lot of things you can do with a hatchet and a Nazi." I know it's just the constant internet exposure talking but when I hear lines like that or "Who doesn't want to kill Nazi's?" from the developers themselves I can't help but feel there's some trolling going on. He's still right of course.

If nothing else The Old Blood showed that when you already have super Nazi death technology in your game zombies don't really seem that out of place.

With BJ in her power armor at some point no, it doesn't look good. It would be a shame to kill her off after just 1 game though.

Stan Taylor posted:How does that hold up? It always looked cool but I only had a PS2 back when it came out initially. They did a PC rerelease recently right? Starbreeze made a new Riddick game, Assault on Dark Athena, in a new engine and at the same time redid Butcher Bay in the same engine and released them as a single pack. Butcher Bay still remains a good game, if a bit awkward in some of its voice acting and animations. A not insignificant portion of the game is almost an RPG where you live in a prison. Butcher Bay is a better game but I'm still fond of Dark Athena too, it's just a bit of a simpler game compared to Future Prison Simulator that is Butcher Bay. Same mechanics and everything but it's more of a straightforward FPShooter/Stealther. Unfortunately while there was a re-release I don't think you can currently find it anywhere digitally because it's caught up in the mess that is Atari. It did come out on PS3/360 though so if you have those you could probably find a copy. I wouldn't suggest getting a boxed PC copy because it came with some DRM I don't remember the name of but it didn't have the greatest of reputations (and may not even work now).

The Walrus posted:Seriously? I had no idea at all, I imagine that's why the second Riddick game was so bad then. No, that's still most of the same people at Starbreeze. But considering they were working on an Atari budget I think Dark Athena and the Butcher Bay re-release came out pretty okay.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Yeah that U-boat level owned with dual-shrapnel shotties I remember playing through the U-Boat level one time and there's one corridor where there's at least a half dozen guys shooting at you. I pulled out the dual ricochet shotguns, fired for a few seconds at no target in particular, then realized every Nazi was dead. chiasaur11 posted:Fergus shows up in the trailer too, with a robot arm. Don't know how they're going to handle things, but they're both in. Presumably some kind of choice at the start of the game, unless there's a save file it can read.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Well, it kinda is true that the Nazis weren't the biggest fans of the KKK, since the KKK was often effectively anti-German because of its anti-catholic (and prohibitionist) stance. Plus the Nazis had a general dislike of the "mongrel" Americans. How about "work with us or we'll send in the robot dogs"?

So in the gameplay footage I saw Engel's daughter is going to join your crew, or at least hang around. So apparently you do get to keep your U-boat, though I think that was an open secret at this point, and she probably isn't the one to kill Caroline if she is going to die. Caroline isn't anywhere in any of the videos though so it still doesn't look good for her.GUI posted:The updated player model animations make the game feel a lot like Riddick and The Darkness, only thing missing is laser sights replacing the crosshair. That's exactly how it was in TNO too. Wolfenstein isn't trying to be Splinter Cell, you've got a second or two to axe the Nazi or get out of sight before he starts yelling. Hell, a game that was a stealth game, MGS5, has mostly the same thing just with more UI indicators.

Psychotic Weasel posted:The problem with fighting on the moon with moon gravity is a lot of the mobility you rely on in a twitch shooter is gone and it would be a little frustrating getting shot over and over. The entire section would boil down to constant trial and error, or slowing to a crawl so you could check around every corner and look in every crater without putting yourself out in the open. I could see why they nixed it. I guess that certainly lends some credence to the "BJ getting a new body" stuff.

Deified Data posted:Kinda want to pick up The Old Blood to tide me over until Colossus. How'd yall like it? It is not as good as TNO obviously, being an expansion. It doesn't have any of the cutscenes TNO did to add to its characters, relying entirely on voices over in game animation (and not as much as that either), several small "wave" combat arenas from the separate score attack mode pop in the main game and never feel right (that's not all there is though), and first gameplay section can be tedious. However if you liked the shooting of TNO and want a short homage to Return to Castle Wolfenstein there's still plenty to enjoy. BJ and friends (and the main Nazis) get just enough character work to make things enjoyable beyond the combat and you eventually shoot your way through a city of zombies, Nazis, and Nazi zombies with a double barrel shotgun alongside a great soundtrack and some wicked ambiance. Also holy poo poo they're actually bringing in Hitler.

Psychotic Weasel posted:BJ saying "Come and fuckin' get me you fascist Nazi pigs" seems really awkward; I know he would insult Nazis, that's not the issue, but his choice of words seems really tame. It's usually a lot more colourful. He was probably just hanging out with the commies a bit too much at that point in the campaign or something.

The only thing that I didn't like about Doom 3 was the flashlight stuff. Even back then I got what they were going for with it but I still basically thought of it as the game telling me "Okay, you can either see things or you can do the fun thing." The fun thing being shooting demons. One flashlight mod (or as the one I used was called, "duct tape" mod) later and I enjoyed it a lot. Obviously it wasn't dark all the time but they still really wanted to show off that lighting. I recall there was even a flashlight mod that split the difference and allowed you to turn it on when you were using the "standard" weapons like the pistol, machine gun, and shotgun but disabled it when you wanted to use the heavier stuff. I remember thinking that was a good compromise.

That's... something. I don't know enough about stuff to call a piece of media part of the "[blank]-ploitation" genre but that sure seems like it'd fit somewhere in there. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

If you think that TNO has too many cutscenes you have an incredibly low tolerance for cutscenes.
