Wolfenstein?
 
Any word on the new game?

It is due out Aug 18 and have not heard much of anything about it.

Wondering if it is worth the pre-order based on name alone.

Yeah weird that there hasnt been much on this one.I have seen any actual gameplay footage yet.

Game looks decent. I'll pick it up since I'm a big Wolfenstein fan and I think raven is a solid developer.

Last time I pre-ordered a game when there wasn't much info out about it I ended up with Shellshock 2 :suicide:

Amazon has it for $56.99 right now with:

With the summer drought, and the legacy of Wolfenstein, I am surprised this game has not received more attention. Raven has made some great games with of course Quake 4 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance but also the surprise that was X-Men Wolverine. This ain't no shellshock 2!

I'm worried about the game to be honest. There is at least one video trailer for it you can download on the 360 and I wasn't too impressed with the way the graphics looked.

I downloaded the xbla wolfenstein when it was released and after I finished the first level, an achievement popped up that I have received X amount of in game money that can be used once the real game comes out. Thought that was neat and was definitely unexpected.

I guess a beta MP was leaked, and it is getting slammed on the quality....

so are you getting Wolfenstein then? This game really seems to be fighting an uphill battle in getting any kind of excitement.

Yes totally agree! It's too bad that they haven't done a better job of bringing up the awareness and getting people excited for this title. I have a feeling that it's too late now to get anyone other than Wolfenstein fans and hardcore FPS guys on board. Maybe solid reviews and good word of mouth will help but that didn't seem to do much for Wolverine.

Yeah, and I'll throw in my home and car if it outsells Madden 10 in August. Since you know it'll NEVER happen, it seems like a safe bet. What a douche.

They never make good on these bets anyway. Remember that Sony guy who said he'd pay someone $1200 dollars for each PS3 they found in stores when it first came out? And people found plenty of 'em...

I'd like to get it, but first-run-game prices have me leery unless it's a property I know I really like (say, Halo or Uncharted) so I'll probably wait for reviews. Plus I picked up the Xbox Wolfenstein and was kind of underwhelmed, though in fairness I bought it used when it was already kind of a previous-generation game. That dimmed my memories a bit, though I know it shouldn't affect whether this game is good or not.

I am surprised that there is no news traction at all for this game.

It could be one of two things.

A:The game developer realized they had a substandard Wolfenstein game on their hands, and so they DEMANDED no early reviews of the game. Nothing pisses off game reviewers more then being told they can't review a game, or not even getting the game to review (so as to not risk negative press) so they just ignore it.

B: No one really cares about Wolfenstein...


I am thinking A

Looks like I made a good move by cancelling my pre-order yesterday. Yeah me!

I've almost come to the point where I like playing bad games as much as I do good games. Regardless, looking forward to checking this out. I'm not expecting it to be good, but at that point I hope it's horrible. Nothing worse than mediocre.

vhgong 08-18-09 11:24 AM

Re: Wolfenstein?
 
I'll probably pick it up when its in half price books for $7.50 or something.....not going to pay full price for this. Very disappointing.

A FPS with bad graphics? Graphics is the one area a FPS can not slack off in. Sad to see this game being a turd.
